Abstract
A cable window lifting mechanism lifts a window pane ( ) in a vehicle, in particular an automobile, in a first direction. The window lifting mechanism includes two guide sections ( ), with two sliding elements ( ) each moveably guided on a respective one of the guide sections ( ). A cable ( ) engages at least one sliding element ( ). Moreover, the window pane ( ) is supported by both sliding elements ( ). One of the sliding elements ( ) is guided on the associated guide section ( ) so as to minimize movement of the one of the sliding elements normal to the first direction. The other sliding element ( ) is guided at least over partial sections of the associated guide section ( ) to minimize movement of the other sliding element normal to a plane of the window pane, while permitting a compensating movement of the other sliding element in the vehicle's longitudinal axis when the window pane ( ) is displaced.
