Abstract

See full text

A cable-type regulator assembly for controlling the movement of a window panel in a vehicle door assembly which incorporates an automatic adjustment bracket to compensate for dimensional variations of components associated with the window panel. The bracket is adjustably mounted on a glider assembly slidably mounted in a track of an elongated rail mounted in the door. The body of the glider assembly is connected to the window panel adjustment bracket by a pair of rivets fitted into associated elongated slots in the bracket and through spider-like spring washers between the heads of the rivets and the adjustment bracket. The rivets and slots permit inboard and outboard, fore and aft and limited pivotal movement of the window assembly during operation. The spider-like washers provide a spring device spring loading the panel assembly during its movement to different positions to ensure that it smoothly travels without vibration and noise regardless of limit stack variations in the doors, window panels, guide tracks or other window regulator elements.
