Abstract: A drive device for a wire-type window regulator is disclosed wherein a drum is accommodated in a cover and, under such a status, rotating and operating a rotation operator, exposed to an operation bore portion, enables work to be done for winding a wire. With the rotation operator kept in engagement with operation bore portion, the drum is avoided from rotating in a rewinding direction, making it easy to perform work for an output shaft of a motor to be brought into engagement with a drive bore portion of the drum.

Abstract: A window regulator comprises a front guide rail installed in a front portion of a door and extending upward and downward; a rear guide rail installed in a rear portion of the door and extending upward and downward; a front carrier unit fixed to a lower front portion of the window pane and slidably engaged with the front guide rail through a first mechanism; and a rear carrier unit fixed to a lower rear portion of the window pane and slidably engaged with the rear guide rail through a second mechanism. The first mechanism is constructed to permit a pivotal movement of the front carrier unit about an imaginary axis that extends along the front guide rail. The second mechanism has a with a channel construction includes a slider on the rear carrier unit that is slidably received in a channel construction of the rear guide rail. The construction has a generally C-shaped cross section with its open side facing to the outside an exterior of the door when the door is mounted on a vehicle.

The first mechanism is constructed to permit a pivotal movement of the front carrier unit about an imaginary axis that extends along the front guide rail. The second mechanism includes a channel construction possessed by the rear guide rail and a slider possessed by the rear carrier unit and slidably received in the channel construction. The construction has a generally C-shaped cross section with its open side facing in a direction of a thickness of the door.

Abstract: In a door structure for a vehicle provided with a door main body (4) having an opening (2) provided in an inner panel (3), a module base (7) in which a window regulator (6) for vertically moving a window panel (5) is assembled and a fastening portion (9a) provided near an outer periphery so as to be capable of closing the opening (2) is fixed to the inner panel (3) by a fastening member (10), and a handle (8a) provided in a room inside, the handle (8a) being fixed to the module base (7), reinforcing beads (19, 19a, 19b) are provided in the module base (7) along a line connecting a mounting portion (12) to which the handle (8a) is fixed and the fastening portion (9a) provided in a vertical direction of the mounting portion (12).

Abstract: A cable guide structure for a window regulator is provided with rails aligned so as to be parallel with each other, moving elements for supporting a window panel, a cable connected to said moving elements. A diagonally cabling portion of the cable is linearly arranged. The directions of tangent lines of the pulleys at contact points of rail cabling portions with cable guide grooves coincide with axial directions of a cable in the rail cabling portions respectively. Further the directions of tangent lines of pulleys at contact points of the diagonally cabling portion with the cable guide grooves coincide with an axial direction of the cable in the diagonally cabling portion.

Abstract: The invention provides a window panel supporting structure of a window regulator having a positioning element along a window panel surface in which a positioning projection (31c) protruded in any one of a panel holder (31) and a fastening and supporting portion (17) and a positioning groove (17b) formed in another thereof are engaged with each other.

Abstract: A front spoiler arrangement installed at the front end section lower part of an automotive vehicle body. The front spoiler arrangement is comprised of a retractable spoiler fin supported by a pair of swingable arms which are spaced from each other and driven respectively by a pair of drive mechanism. Each swingable arm is securely connected at one end section thereof to the spoiler fin and at the other end section thereof to a rotatable drive shaft of each drive mechanism in such a manner that a mount rubber is interposed between the swingable arm and the drive shaft, thereby permitting lateral movement of the swingable arm relative to the drive shaft.

Abstract: A sunshade assembly for use with a sun roof construction of a motor vehicle is disclosed, which comprises two chain units each including first and second groups of guided pieces and a plurality of links pivotally connected to the first and second groups of guided pieces in a zig-zag manner, two guide rails each having at its inboard side upper and lower guide grooves for slidably receiving therein the first and second groups of guided pieces respectively, a plurality of supporting rods each extending between one guided piece of the first group associated with one guide rail and another guided piece of the first group associated with the other guide rail, and a shading cloth having thereon a plurality of supported portions which are supported by the supporting rods respectively.
