Patent ID: 8627607

Claim:
A window assembly for a motor vehicle comprising: (i) a stationary window pane; (ii) a sliding window pane; (iii) a first guide and a second guide; (iv) a sliding path; wherein the first guide and second guide define the sliding path and guide the sliding window pane in relation to the stationary window pane from an open position to a closed position or from the closed position to the open position along the sliding path, wherein the first guide and the second guide are non-parallel with respect to each other when the sliding window pane is in the closed position, and wherein at least one of the first guide and the second guide comprise an equalizing guide, wherein the equalizing guide further comprises a guide rail, a holding device, and an equalizing bearing, wherein the holding device is fixed relative to the stationary window pane, wherein the guide rail is movably connected to the holding device by the equalizing bearing, wherein the equalizing bearing allows a compensation for a change in position of the guide rail relative to the holding device caused by a change in position of the sliding window pane in relation to the stationary window pane along the sliding path, wherein the guide rail moves in response to the change in position of the sliding window pane in relation to the stationary window pane along the sliding path, wherein the equalizing bearing comprises at least one interlink, wherein the interlink is articulated on and pivotally movable in relation to the holding device and is articulated on and pivotally movable in relation to the guide rail and is slidably movable at least in relation to the holding device or in relation to the guide rail, and wherein the interlink connects the guide rail to the holding device in a stabilizing manner in order to effectively accommodate transverse or torsion forces which may act on the guide rail.
