20080244980 | DRIVE ASSEMBLY FOR A CABLE WINDOW LIFT SYSTEM FOR MOTOR VEHICLES - Drive assembly for motor vehicle cable window lift system and cable window lift system fitted with such drive assembly. The assembly may be provided with drive unit having gear housing section and rotatably mounted cable drum for winding/unwinding a system cable wherein the cable drum engages a drive unit drive gear and is coupled thereto. Cable drum is rotatably mounted shaftlessly and securing means is provided that cooperates with the cable drum to secure said drum axially and radially on the drive gear. With this secured and rotatably mounted structural design it is possible to dispense with a shaft penetrating the cable drum or a longer pivot pin. A shaftless structural design results which may be designed very flexibly compared to conventional designs. Thus, a variety of cable drums can be used to co-operate with the drive unit giving a large range of possible variations with the same drive unit. | 10-09-2008 |

Thus, the stay does not become a hindrance to a user and is visually uncluttered. | 01-05-2012 |
20120117883 | WINDOW REGULATOR - A window regulator prevents a carrier plate from derailing from a guide rail by preventing the generation of a force which is applied when the carrier plate and a stopper member collide with each other and which lifts up the carrier plate. In the window regulator, an impact absorption body is installed in a press fitting recess of the carrier plate. The impact absorption body is made of an elastic material for absorbing an impact caused by a collision between the carrier plate and the stopper member that regulates a slide position of the carrier plate. A collision surface formed on the stopper member is tilted toward the carrier plate with respect to a plane that is perpendicular to an axis of the guide rail such that the collision surface pushes the carrier plate down toward the guide rail when it collides with the impact absorbing body. | 05-17-2012 |

20160123077 | ASSEMBLY FOR INSULATING A DOOR CURTAIN - The present disclosure includes a system and article of manufacture for a door assembly for rolling and unrolling, or retracting and extending, a door curtain. The door assembly may include various mechanisms to protect a door curtain from wear and abrasion, as well as muffle noise associated with the operation of the door curtain. The door assembly may comprise a curtain shaft. A door curtain may roll and/or unroll (e.g., open and/or close) on the curtain shaft. The door assembly may further include an insulator shaft, which may receive or hold a door curtain insulator or insulators. A door curtain insulator may attach to the insulator shaft as well as the curtain shaft and/or door curtain itself. In operation, as the door curtain is rolled up, one or more lengths of insulator may be unrolled from the insulator shaft and layered, or interleaved, between consecutive layers of rolled up door curtain. Similarly, as the door curtain is unrolled, one or more lengths of insulator may be rolled up or wound about the insulator shaft, such that no insulator travels with the curtain as it unrolls towards a closed position. The door assembly may also include a mechanism for compensating for a difference between an angular speed of a door curtain on a curtain shaft and an angular speed of a door curtain insulator on an insulator shaft. | 05-05-2016 |
