An automobile door is proposed with a unit carrier on which built-in units, especially a complete window winder with window pane can be preassembled. Only afterwards on preassembly the unit carrier is brought together with the door's outer shell to form the door. Both door hinges as well as a door lock are secured on the unit carrier.

Door unit for motor vehicles

A mounting arrangement for a vehicle seat assembly including an electrically operated seat adjusting device which permits expedient fastening of the seat assembly to a vehicle floor and which essentially consists of lockable engaging connections provided on at least one side of the seat adjusting device as the fastening mechanism between the seat adjusting device and the vehicle floor and/or between a seat shell of the seat assembly and the seat adjusting device. On the opposite side of the seat adjusting device there are provided fastening connections preferably formed as screw connections which may be tightened to lock said engaging connections for a firm fastening of the assembly. The seat adjusting device is adapted to be manually operated by an auxiliary actuating device in the event of malfunction of elements thereof such as drive motors, gear units or interconnecting flexible shafts.

Fastening arrangement for a motor vehicle seat including a seat

In a driving gear, a wheel is mounted on a supporting plate. The wheel has a rim with teeth on its inside surface and a pinion mounted on the supporting plate is in meshed engagement with the teeth. A housing, attached to the supporting plate, encloses the wheel. Entrainment surfaces on the outside circumference of the wheel engage an elongated power take-off member supported within and extending through the housing.

Driving gear

Adjusting mechanism for a seat, particularly a seat of an automotive vehicle, in which the seat rests on carriers elongated in the direction of shifting movement, seat shifting guides being interposed, and the carriers being equipped with integrally connected, upwardly directed lugs which laterally back the seat shifting guides.

Adjusting mechanism for the seat of an automobile

In an adjusting device for a seat in a motor vehicle, a sliding seat guiding mechanism moves the seat in a generally horizontal direction. The guide mechanism includes an upper part secured to the seat and a support member secured to the floor of the vehicle. A rack is attached to the upper part and is driven by a pinion mounted on the support member for moving the seat in the generally horizontal direction. The rack is adjustably mounted on the upper part to permit limited movement of the rack in the generally vertical direction disposed transversely of the generally horizontal direction of movement of the seat so that proper engagement of the rack and the pinion is assured.

Adjusting device for a seat

The window in the door of a motorcar may be raised and lowered by means of a lifting mechanism including an electric motor connected to a speed reducing, worm gear transmission and a lifting arm turned by the output shaft of the transmission through further speed-reducing gears. The stroke of the window movement is limited by cooperating fixed, but adjustable abutments on supporting structure and an abutment connected to the output shaft of the worm gear transmission for joint rotation.

Lifting mechanism for a motorcar window

The bowden cable drivingly connecting a crank on a motorcar door to a carrier for the window in the door has a plastic compression member whose ends abuttingly engage retaining members near the crank and the window carrier. The ends are of non-circular cross section, and their angular movement about the longitudinal axis of the cable is prevented by conforming engagement with respective retaining members.

Operating mechanism for a motorcar window

Adjusting mechanism for the seat of an automotive vehicle

The window in the door of an automotive vehicle is raised and lowered by means of an externally threaded, longitudinally moving cable. The drive arrangement for the cable includes a shell having first and second shell portions of which at least one is formed with an aperture. A pinion is rotatably secured between the shell portions and journaled in the aperture of apertures. A first group of fastening devices fastens the first shell portion to the second shell portion in a predetermined position, but may also fasten the shell portions to one another in each of a plurality of other positions angularly offset about the axis of pinion rotation from the predetermined position. The shell portions define therebetween respective passages through the shell in the several positions of the first shell portion, the passages being approximately tangential relative to the pinion and angularly offset from each other about the axis of the pinion. Each passage is associated with one of the positions of the first shell portion, and the externally threaded cable is movably received in the passage associated with the predetermined position of the first shell portion, but dimensioned for longitudinal movement in each of the other passages. A second group of fastening devices permits the second shell portion to be fastened to the vehicle door.

Drive arrangement for an automotive window operating mechanism

The bowden cable drivingly connecting a crank on a motorcar door to a carrier for the window in the door has a plastic compression member whose ends abuttingly engage retaining members near the crank and the window carrier. The ends are of noncircular cross section, and their angular movement about the longitudinal axis of the cable is prevented by conforming engagement with respective retaining members.

The sliding window in the door of an automotive vehicle is movably guided between a longer and a shorter glass run channel and in a guide groove of a guide member spacedly aligned in the direction of window movement with the channel shortened to accomodate a lock element on the door. Movement of the pane into and out of the groove is facilitated by a flaring orifice of the groove.
