Patent ID: 7726074

Claim:
A window-winding arrangement ( 1 ), for a side pane ( 2 ) of a motor vehicle comprising a drive means ( 5 ) for applying a driving force to the pane to cause movement of the pane in two different directions, and a guide means for guiding the pane ( 2 ) during movement in either direction, the drive means configured to cause the pane to be pressed against the guide means during movement of the pane in either direction, and wherein the side pane is driven by a linear element associated with the drive means, the linear element having a first spring with a first spring force connected in series to the linear element, and a second spring with a second spring force connected in series to the linear element wherein the ratio between the spring forces is from about 1:1.5 to about 1:2.5, wherein the different spring forces are applied to two distinct locations on the pane to cause an edge of the pane to be biased toward the guide means; wherein the difference in spring forces causes the pane to be pressed against the guide means during movement of the pane in either direction to limit a momentary change in the rotation direction of the pane when the movement direction of the linear element is changed.
