  • Patent number: 7121044
    Abstract: This window regulator is constituted by a rail which is obtained in a single piece, by injection of a light-weight metallic alloy, integrating a great many of the window regulator components, like for example: the supports (1) for fastening the window regulator to the door of the vehicle, the support (2) and anchoring elements (6) for the drive motor used in the systems of electric window regulators, the coupling elements (5) of the Bowden system for tensioning the cable (4), necessary in the manually operated systems, the housing (8) for the cable-winding drum, the sliding or diverting elements (3) of the cable (4). Moreover, the rail leaves the mould, with an appropriate curvature for correctly following the window. glass, even though the latter has a very complex shape. Thus, the same rail can be used indistinctly for manual window regulators, electric window regulators and dual rail window regulators.

  • Patent number: 7055882
    Abstract: A support structure for an interior overheard console of a roof of an automotive vehicle, comprising one or more elongated trays, opening at one of its larger walls, and which is anchored at its front and rear edges to crosspieces of the roof of the vehicle. The tray defines housings for the assembly of interchangeable compartments therein. There are connections between each tray and the crosspieces. Guides for installation and the fastening of the compartments in the tray.

  • Publication number: 20060076805
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sunshade with blades for roofs having a transparent element that allows covering this area to block sunlight. The invention characterises a special configuration of the blade store, as well as the mans for engagement between adjacent blades and between the first blade and its traction clip, which configuration is the same for all blades, including the first one.

  • Publication number: 20060062498
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is a rail-mounted sliding assembly applicable to devices which are installed inside motor vehicles and which comprise moveable elements, displaceable between two rails, such as slats for concealing roofs with a transparent element or for end bars of window shades. During the sliding motion, this sliding assembly is the guided element which experiences the friction due to displacement and suppresses the play in its connection with the rail in the two coordinate directions perpendicular to the forward direction. The friction is produced in a sliding shoe and the play in one direction and the other is absorbed in independent resilient means incorporated in a supporting runner.

  • Publication number: 20050235574
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a supporting module with waterproof seal for vehicle doors mainly comprised of a flexible laminar element (2) that can establish a waterproof seal between the wet and dry sides of the door (1), also meant to facilitate the mounting tasks of each component. The flexible laminar element has a sufficient supporting capacity to allow a preliminary mounting on it of the various door components for a subsequent installation of the entire assembly on the door in a single operation; however, the strength and structural capacities of the door continue to rely on its reinforcements and ribs, and not on the flexible laminar element, thereby allowing a cheaper and simpler laminar element and assembly as a whole.
