Patent ID: 7610720

Claim:
A cable window regulator assembly comprising: a carrier panel; a first pair of pulleys, each pulley of the first pair of pulleys rotatably mounted to the carrier panel around a pulley axis generally transverse to the carrier panel; a lift plate assembly securable to a closure panel and constrained to travel in a closure plane solely by the closure panel; at least one cable trained about one of the first pair of pulleys and affixed to the lift plate assembly at an angle transverse to the direction of travel of the lift plate assembly; a window regulator drive assembly operably connected to the at least one cable for causing movement of the lift plate assembly and effecting travel of the closure panel; and a temporary latching device operable to cause the lift plate to abut against the surface of the carrier panel, thereby aligning a channel in the lift plate with a preferred angle of glass insertion, and where engaging the drive assembly moves the lift plate assembly and further disengages the temporary latching device so that the lift plate assembly moves away from the surface of the carrier panel and into the closure plane.
