Abstract:
A window lifting mechanism for raising and lowering a window pane in a vehicle in a first direction, comprising:a first guide section extending longitudinally in a the first direction, a second guide section having a U-shaped profile extending longitudinally in the first direction, the second guide section having a base portion of the u-shaped profile being generally parallel to a plane of the window pane and having spaced apart leg portions of the u-shaped profile extending from the base portion in a direction normal to the base portion, a first sliding element supporting the window pane, the first sliding element movably guided on the first guide section to allow movement thereof in the first direction, the first sliding element interlocked with the first guide section to minimize movement of the first sliding element in a second direction normal to the first direction and generally parallel to the place of the window pane, a second sliding element supporting the window pane in a spaced apart relationship from the first sliding element, the second sliding element movably guided on the second guide section to allow movement thereof in the first direction, the second sliding element having front and rear leg portions respectively contacting front and rear sides of the base portion of the second guide section to minimize movement of the second sliding element in a third direction generally normal to the base portion, the front leg portion being positioned between the leg portions of the second guide section to allow a compensating movement of the front leg portion between the leg portions of the second guide section when the first and second sliding elements are misaligned, and a cable connected to at least one of the first and second sliding elements to move the first and second sliding elements on the first and second guide sections.
