Title: Toshiaki Uchikata and Automotive Door-Glass Mechanisms.

Introduction

Toshiaki Uchikata is an inventor associated with Aichi, Japan. His listed patent work concerns mechanisms that raise and lower vehicle door glass, including components designed to support the glass and limit its movement.

Latest Patents

Uchikata’s listed portfolio includes 2 patents related to door-glass raising and lowering apparatuses.

“Door glass raising and falling apparatus having elastic stoppers” describes a carrier plate attached to a door glass that moves along door-mounted sashes. The plate connects to moving portions of a wire-rope body and supports the glass with front and rear fixing portions. Oversized mounting holes allow the glass to move relative to the carrier plate. The apparatus also uses pulleys mounted on frame members and stoppers fitted to pulley shafts to limit the glass assembly’s falling distance.

“Door glass raising and falling apparatus” describes a similar arrangement, with a carrier plate, glass-support and fixing portions, and a wire-rope body routed over pulleys. Rubber stoppers mounted on pulley shafts limit the falling distance of the glass assembly. Together, the inventions address glass support, controlled movement, and travel limitation in door-window mechanisms.
