Abstract
A window lift assembly (3) of a motor vehicle window (5) has a window pane (4) that can be divided into a first pane region (6) and a second pane region (7) in a width direction (8) of the window pane (4). A first window lift (9) carries the window pane (4) in the first pane region (6) and a second window lift (10) carries the window pane (4) in the second pane region (7). The two window lifts (9,10) are actuable independently of each other to move the window pane (4) rectilinearly up and down, to incline the window pane (4) and/or to move the window pane (4) up and down in an inclined manner.
Claims11
A window lift assembly of a motor vehicle window having a window pane, the window pane having a first pane region and a second pane region separate from the first pane region in a width direction of the window pane, where the width direction of the window pane is transverse to a lift direction of the window pane, the window lift assembly comprising:
- a first window lift and a second window lift, wherein the first window lift carries the window pane in the first pane region and the second window lift carries the window pane in the second pane region, the two window lifts being actuable independently of each other to move the window pane rectilinearly up and down, to incline the window pane or to move the window pane up and down in an inclined manner.
A method for controlling air flow through a motor vehicle window having a window pane with opposite front and rear end regions provided respectively front and rear window lifts, the method comprising:
- achieving a first air flow pattern through the motor vehicle window by operating the front and rear window lifts simultaneously and in a common direction for moving the window pane rectilinearly, and achieving a second air flow pattern different from the first air flow pattern by operating one of the front and rear window lifts differently than the other of the front and rear window lifts to achieve slanted orientation of the window pane.
