  • Patent number: 6837645
    Abstract: A vehicle window glass holder is disclosed, which is capable of easily fixing a window glass only by rotating a shaft, and easily extracting the shaft by reversely rotating the shaft to allow reuse. The holder comprises a holding member and a shaft. The shaft includes projecting pieces provided on its tip, a support portion for supporting the projecting pieces, and a main body connected to the support portion. The holding member includes a pair of opposing pieces, and each of the opposing pieces has an shaft inserting hole. The shaft is inserted into the holes of the holding member. By rotating the shaft, the shaft is engaged with the holding member, and thus the shaft is prevented from being extracted from the holding member.
