Publication number: 20080168715Abstract: A sash lifter for positioning a window sash within a window frame of a casement window includes a body portion presenting a sash positioning surface. As the window sash is rotated within the window frame about an axis of rotation defined by at least one hinge assembly, the window sash encounters the sash lifter and rides along the sash positioning surface until it is properly situated within the window frame. The sash lifter may include a barrier structure extending transverse to the axis of rotation to facilitate positioning of the sash lifter within a track of the hinge assembly. The sash lifter may also include a tail structure extending outward from the body portion for increased forced-entry resistance.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2008Publication date: July 17, 2008Inventor: John E.

Patent number: 5375375Abstract: A window regulator includes a rotatable hub that is coupled to a traveller by a cable, such that rotation of the hub raises and lowers the traveller. The hub is mounted on a driven gear which is rotated by a drive gear. The hub and the driven gear are concentrically mounted around a post, which defines an outer surface that is frictionally engaged by a coil spring that is coupled both to the driven gear and to the hub. The coil spring brakes rotation of the hub when the traveller is pushed downwardly. The drive gear and its associated bushings are removably mounted on the window regulator to allow easy replacement.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1994Date of Patent: December 27, 1994Assignee: A.L.

Patent number: 4034509Abstract: A vehicle body window regulator of the disclosure incorporates a toggle linkage that is selectively moved between extended and overlapping positions to maintain a window in open or closed positions. The toggle linkage includes a pair of links that are pivotally connected to each other about a first axis, with one of the links pivoted about a second axis to a control member connected to the window, and with the other link selectively driven on a frame of the regulator about a third axis for movement that positions the linkage in either its extended or overlapping position. The first axis moves across a line between the second and third axes as the linkage is moved to either the overlapping or extended position, and the linkage then engages a frame stop to cause a locking action that prevents window movement due to forces applied directly to the window. A one-way clutch preferably drives the linkage and positions the window in partially open positions.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 1976Date of Patent: July 12, 1977Assignee: American Motors CorporationInventor: Delbert Duane DeRees
