- This system can be by clip-fitting directly into a drill hole in the glass itself, as illustrated in Fig. 9, by inserting a lug into the drill hole in the glass pane and fixing with a butterfly (wing) nut, Fig. 10, by nipping or gripping by means of bolts and flexible lips, Fig. 11, or by direct fastening onto the bottom edge of the glass pane by means of two bolts, Fig. 12.

- the end guide-supports (3, 4), arranged also at the ends of the rail (1), are injection-moulded parts made of thermoplastic material, which on being inserted, fulfil the function of supporting the rail (1) on the door structure, while at the same time guiding the cable (6) and allowing it to slide, so as to direct it from the sliding direction of the drive element (2) to that of winding onto the drum (5).
- Fig. 8 represents in all its view a support (3) which brings together the characteristics described.
- This support (3') is inserted into the end of the rail (1) (Fig. 17) and is fastened to it by means of the bolt (7) with the square head and neck (24), from where it follows that assembly is easy, consisting of inserting the bolt (7) into the square hole (P), Fig. 17, at the end of the rail (1) and then sliding the support (3), in an axial direction on the rail, onto the window or cut-out (G), Fig. 17, until the tongue (L) of the support (3) becomes mounted on and fixed over the square head of the bolt (7), and being thus ready for assembly in the door.
- the support (3) also has a guide (23) for the cable (6) so that the cable can slide in the guide when moving from the drum (5) to the support (2) or viceversa.
- the supports in question can be channel wheels or pulley-wheels, as long as they perform the same operational function.
- the self-tensioning drum (5) of the invention is the most important part of the unit and is described in two different versions. One of these is illustrated in Figs. 19 and the other in Figs. 20.
- the drum (20) is of very simple construction and is advisable whenever cables with a small amount of stretching are used.
- the drum (20') has constant automatic tensioning and is somewhat more complex than the previous model, but most useful if the cables of the kinematic chain suffer a considerable amount of stretching during the life of the window winder.
- the drum (20) is made up of two parts (25, 26) which are coaxial with each other and duly fitted one over the other by means of the tongues (27) of the casing (25) and the edge (28) of the casing (26), so that both parts (25, 26) can turn, one over the other, but in one single direction, due to the fact that the casing (26) has a circular toothed rack and the casing (25) has its tongues (30). These tongues (30) engage in the toothed rack and immobilize one casing in relation to the other in one direction and release it in the opposite direction.
- the casing (25) is the initially driving part to which turning is provided by means of the motorized speed reducer fitted at its outlet on the corresponding hub of the square, toothed or other cross section, or else by means of the toothed ring gear (35) at the outer edge of the reducer, when the drive is manual, as illustrated.
- Tensing of the cable takes place by inserting the lug on the upper branch of the said cable into the gap (31) in the casing (26), once that it has been housed in the upper support and making the system turn in an anticlockwise direction until all the cable has been gathered in and it takes the drive element (2) to the upper stop of its travel path.
- the stop (32) from the assembly unit is moved over the outer circular toothed rack (29) of the casing (26), with which it becomes fixed to the casing (26) in its clockwise rotation.
- the lug on the lower branch of the said cable is inserted into gap (33), after passing it through the lower support, and the system is made to turn in a clockwise direction, with which the casing (25) will rotate over the casing (26) until the cable becomes tensed, by applying the turning torque which is considered suitable.
- the variant shown in Fig. 20, although equal externally to the model described above, is provided in its interior with a system of coplanary planetary gears of one single phase, with which, as the cable from the upper branch is wound onto the part of the drum (37), braking takes place when the slide or drive element reaches the upper stop and on inserting the other branch into the part (36), if the main planetary gear (38) continues rotating in an anticlockwise direction due to the effect of the satellites (39), the part (36) will rotate in a clockwise direction and the cable will be tensed in the way desired.
- All the component parts of the two units (20) and (20') corresponding to the tensing drum are manufactured in thermoplastic material with a vitreous load and obtained by injection moulding, with the exception of the shafts (41) of the unit (20'), which are made of steel and are inserted into the corresponding positions in the part (36).

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a cable type vehicle window winder with kinematic chain and electrical or manual drive.
- Insofar as is known, the basic aim of the technique to be developed by this invention is to simplify the techniques used up to now in mechanisms used for moving the glass pane, in opening and closing operations, in automobile vehicle doors, using a new functional concept.
- In order to achieve this basic objective, the invention is composed of a drive element or slide for the glass, from which two branches of cable leave, a rail or guide along which the said drive element travels, two supports at the ends of the rail or guide and, finally, a winding drum which can be self-tensioning.
- With this invention, the complexity of the Bowden cable system is eliminated, with the absence of all the traditional elements for guiding, driving and tensing the cable, as well as the supports and the parts which are welded or riveted together, which in practice will mean a great ease of construction, able to be carried out in a very simple fashion. The assembly operations are also made easier.
- For a better understanding of the inventive idea, the corresponding sheets of explanatory drawings are attached, in which, without any restrictive nature, the following are shown:
- Figures 1 to 4 show a general arrangement of the different practical solutions for the invention.
- Figure 5 represents another version of the invention, relating to a double rail window winder.
- Figures 6, 7 and 8 represent the incorporation of a coil (volute) spring, arranged parallel to the drum and coaxial with it, to compensate for the weight of the glass.
- Figures 9 to 12 show the fastening of the drive element to the glass.
- Figures 13 to 16 make it possible to appreciate the different shapes of rails which can be used.
- Figure 17 is an illustration of the end of the rail.
- Figure 18 shows the arrangement of the assembly of the end supports on the rail.
- Figure 19 is a representation of one version of the self-tensioning drum.
- Figure 20 is another, alternative, version of the self-tensioning drum.
- Looking now at Figures 1 to 4, we can observe how the window winder device is essentially provided with a guide-rail (1), on which a drive element (2) moves, with this drive element being connected to two ends of the cable (6). The ends of the said cable (6) that leave the drive element (2) are inserted into a drum (5) through a set of end supports (3, 4), with the cable winding and tensing operations being carried out on this drum.
- The drum (5) is supported by a motorized speed reducer or reducer (9), Fig. 1, in the case of the electrical drive, with the assembly being secured to the vehicle door by three points (7, 8, 10).
- In the case illustrated in Fig. 2, the drive (11) is distant from the rail (1) and is connected to the drum (5) by means of a transmission line (14). The drive is secured to the door and the rail is secured by means of the fixing points (7, 8).
- Other types of drive systems, for example manual ones, are shown in Figs. 3 and 4, with the drive elements themselves (12, 13) and their transmission lines (15, 16) to the drum (5).
- In the cases of double rail window winders, as shown in Fig. 5, the peripheries of the tensioning drums (5) for both rails (1, 1') are provided with their corresponding ring gears (18, 19), connected to each other by means of the gear-tooth belt (17), with the synchronization thus obtained being perfect, as is the balancing of the position of the drive slide, which is carried out in a very simple manner at the time of arranging them in the door. In this particular case, any of the methods described above would be valid as a drive system, for instance, by adapting the motorized speed reducer (9) described, to one of the drums.
- Parallel to the drum, and coaxial with it, it is feasible to assemble a support on which a coil spring can be received, as illustrated in Figs. 6, 7 and 8. The coil spring (43), represented in three different adaptations, is used to compensate for the weight of the glass pane in the door, and at the same time to reduce the drive torque if the drive is manual, or, if the drive is electrical, to reduce the motor power.
- The drive element (2) is a support part made of thermoplastic or metalloplastic material which includes a system for fixing the glass (21). This system can be by clip-fitting directly into a drill hole in the glass itself, as illustrated in Fig. 9, by inserting a lug into the drill hole in the glass pane and fixing with a butterfly (wing) nut, Fig. 10, by nipping or gripping by means of bolts and flexible lips, Fig. 11, or by direct fastening onto the bottom edge of the glass pane by means of two bolts, Fig. 12.
- These proposed solutions are offered simply for guidance, since any form of securing the glass pane to the support, within the range of habitual techniques, can be used.
- As regards the guide-rail (1), it will be made up of a profile with a cross section and a moment of inertia suitable for its use, as illustrated by the rails (1, 1', 1'', 1''') shown in Figs. 13 to 16. The dimension figure (22) for each one of them, which is the internal width, will be sufficiently wide to allow the drive element (2) to pass without being hampered in any way by the fixing for the motorized speed reducer or by the drum support.
- In any case, it must be kept in mind that this element acts as a support for the constituent parts mentioned above and, therefore, must be appropriately resistant to be able to stand up to the corresponding stresses in the slam tests, without becoming deformed.
- The end guide-supports (3, 4), arranged also at the ends of the rail (1), are injection-moulded parts made of thermoplastic material, which on being inserted, fulfil the function of supporting the rail (1) on the door structure, while at the same time guiding the cable (6) and allowing it to slide, so as to direct it from the sliding direction of the drive element (2) to that of winding onto the drum (5).
- Fig. 8, by way of example, represents in all its view a support (3) which brings together the characteristics described. This support (3') is inserted into the end of the rail (1) (Fig. 17) and is fastened to it by means of the bolt (7) with the square head and neck (24), from where it follows that assembly is easy, consisting of inserting the bolt (7) into the square hole (P), Fig. 17, at the end of the rail (1) and then sliding the support (3), in an axial direction on the rail, onto the window or cut-out (G), Fig. 17, until the tongue (L) of the support (3) becomes mounted on and fixed over the square head of the bolt (7), and being thus ready for assembly in the door.
- The support (3) also has a guide (23) for the cable (6) so that the cable can slide in the guide when moving from the drum (5) to the support (2) or viceversa.
- Obviously, the supports in question can be channel wheels or pulley-wheels, as long as they perform the same operational function.
- The self-tensioning drum (5) of the invention is the most important part of the unit and is described in two different versions. One of these is illustrated in Figs. 19 and the other in Figs. 20.
- According to the version shown in the two Figs. 19, the drum (20) is of very simple construction and is advisable whenever cables with a small amount of stretching are used.
- According to the version shown in Figs. 20, the drum (20') has constant automatic tensioning and is somewhat more complex than the previous model, but most useful if the cables of the kinematic chain suffer a considerable amount of stretching during the life of the window winder.
- In accordance with Figs. 19, we can observe that the drum (20) is made up of two parts (25, 26) which are coaxial with each other and duly fitted one over the other by means of the tongues (27) of the casing (25) and the edge (28) of the casing (26), so that both parts (25, 26) can turn, one over the other, but in one single direction, due to the fact that the casing (26) has a circular toothed rack and the casing (25) has its tongues (30). These tongues (30) engage in the toothed rack and immobilize one casing in relation to the other in one direction and release it in the opposite direction.
- The casing (25) is the initially driving part to which turning is provided by means of the motorized speed reducer fitted at its outlet on the corresponding hub of the square, toothed or other cross section, or else by means of the toothed ring gear (35) at the outer edge of the reducer, when the drive is manual, as illustrated.
- Tensing of the cable takes place by inserting the lug on the upper branch of the said cable into the gap (31) in the casing (26), once that it has been housed in the upper support and making the system turn in an anticlockwise direction until all the cable has been gathered in and it takes the drive element (2) to the upper stop of its travel path.
- Having reached this point, the stop (32) from the assembly unit is moved over the outer circular toothed rack (29) of the casing (26), with which it becomes fixed to the casing (26) in its clockwise rotation. Here, the lug on the lower branch of the said cable is inserted into gap (33), after passing it through the lower support, and the system is made to turn in a clockwise direction, with which the casing (25) will rotate over the casing (26) until the cable becomes tensed, by applying the turning torque which is considered suitable. This should be performed with a turn of less than one rotation, at which moment the stop (32) is released and the kinematic chain becomes closed and ready for use without having to recur to intermediate conductors, guides, etc., as happens in Bowden systems.
- The variant shown in Fig. 20, although equal externally to the model described above, is provided in its interior with a system of coplanary planetary gears of one single phase, with which, as the cable from the upper branch is wound onto the part of the drum (37), braking takes place when the slide or drive element reaches the upper stop and on inserting the other branch into the part (36), if the main planetary gear (38) continues rotating in an anticlockwise direction due to the effect of the satellites (39), the part (36) will rotate in a clockwise direction and the cable will be tensed in the way desired.
- Whenever loosening or slackening occurs, the tension adjustment will be rectified on one of the travel path ends being reached and coming up against the stop, and whenever this slackening is equal to or greater than the pitch of internal toothed rack (40) linked with the toothing of the planetary ring gear (41).
- All the component parts of the two units (20) and (20') corresponding to the tensing drum are manufactured in thermoplastic material with a vitreous load and obtained by injection moulding, with the exception of the shafts (41) of the unit (20'), which are made of steel and are inserted into the corresponding positions in the part (36).
- It is important to point out, once having described the nature and advantages of this invention, its non-restrictive character, inasmuch as changes in the shape, material and sizes of its constituent parts will not in any way alter its essence, as long as they do not mean a substantial variation of the whole.
