Abstract
A module ( ) for the door ( ) of an automobile vehicle comprises a window raiser mechanism ( ) of the type having two substantially parallel rails ( ) and driving cables ( ) arranged in the form of an X between these rails and slidable relative to the latter, and a support for this mechanism. This support ( ) has a generally X shape connecting the upper ends ( ) to the lower ends ( ) of the rails and enveloping the cables. This support may be, for example, formed by an X-shaped tubular structure rigidly interconnecting the two rails and enveloping the cables ( ) whose sheaths, which were otherwise necessary, may be eliminated. The tubular structure ( ) protects the cables against aggression and deterioration due to transport and mounting in the door.
