Abstract
The device comprises a bearing (3) carrying the glass (1), a stud (6) extending throughout the bearing and fixed to a carriage (2) of the driving mechanism, and means for locking the bearing to the stud comprising an elastically yieldable member (7) adapted to be clipped to the bearing before inserting the stud in the latter and adapted to grip the stud so as to fix it to the bearing. The member (7) is a clip having two arms (8) which are capable of being elastically spread apart on each side of a central bore (5) provided in the bearing (3) for the passage of the stud (6), slots (11) being formed in the bearing each of which receives a respective arm of the member (7). This arrangement permits pre-assembling the locking member with the bearing before the insertion of the stud (6) and consequently avoiding the necessity of assembling the clip 'blind' in the door with risk of a defective assembly or loss of the locking member.
