Patent ID: 8819995

Claim:
A window regulator including: a drum mounted on an inner panel of a door on a side of a surface opposing an outer panel, the drum configured to be able to rotate in a clockwise-direction and a counter clockwise direction; an annular wire partly wound around the drum; a plurality of guide members mounted on the inner panel of the door on the side of the surface opposing the outer panel and configured to guide the wire so that the wire is arranged along a direction of upward and downward movement of a window glass; wherein the wire from the drum is wound through a first guide member from among the plurality of guide members to a remainder of the plurality of guide members; a slack preventing member configured to reduce slack in the wire; the slack preventing member is provided between the drum and the first guide member from among the plurality of guide members; the slack preventing member has a tube for allowing insertion of the wire and a resilient member, wherein when the wire is loosened, the resilient member expands and the slack of the wire is absorbed; window glass mounting means configured to mount the window glass to the wire at a portion extending along the direction of upward and downward movement of the window glass, in which the wire is moved by rotating the drum in the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction to move the window glass upward and downward; a bracket configured to be mounted rotatably on the inner panel about a center of rotation at a first position along the bracket and having the first guide member from among the plurality of guide members mounted at a portion along the bracket other than at the center of rotation of the bracket, and the bracket being further configured to guide the first guide member mounted at a portion along the bracket other than at the center of rotation of the bracket to a mounting position on the inner panel against an urging force of the slack preventing member by rotation of the bracket about the center of rotation of the bracket wherein the resilient member is compressed by the rotation of the bracket against the urging force; and a member located at a second position along the bracket, different than said first position, for holding the bracket in position when the first guide member is in said mounting position, to thereby prevent rotation of the bracket; the member fixing the bracket at a point except a pivot point of the bracket.
