The device comprises a screw which turn allows adjusting the distance between the rail of the power window device and the inner portion of the door and it is surrounded, at an end thereof, by a first adjusting through block and formed integral to the door of the motor vehicle, and a second adjusting block for roughly adjusting or tightening the thread inwardly which is fixed to the power window device, the opposed end of said screw being threadingly received to the rail of the power window device. It allows adjusting of the window pane in a very simple manner, with a highly reduced cost of production and with a considerably strong mechanism which, in turn, allows a fine adjustment of the lateral distance of the assembly of the power window device.
1- Device for lateral adjusting window power devices for motor vehicles and the like, said power window device comprising a movable window pane, driving means for said window pane and gripping means therefor comprising at least a clamp that holds the window pane for the lower edge thereof attached to a sliding member running through a rail (5) fixed to the door (6) of the motor vehicle, said device comprising a screw (1) which turn allows adjusting the distance (d) between the rail (5) of the power window device and the inner portion of the door (6), characterized in that said screw (1) is surrounded, at an end thereof, by a first adjusting through block (7) which is formed integral to the door (6) of the motor vehicle, and a second adjusting block (15) for roughly adjusting or tightening the thread inwardly which is fixed to the power window device, the opposed end (4) of said screw (1) being threadingly received to the rail (5) of the power window device.
2- Device for lateral adjusting window power devices for motor vehicles and the like according to claim 1, characterized in that the screw (1) is provided with a flat washer (1.0) and a spring washer (11) adjacent to the head (2) thereof inside of said first block (7) to avoid noise and to dampen out vibrations.
3- Device for lateral adjusting window power devices for motor vehicles and the like according to claim 1, characterized in that said first block (7) is provided with a cover (12) having an opening (13) for the head (2) of the screw (1).
4- Device for lateral adjusting window power devices for motor vehicles and the like according to claim 1, characterized in that the first block (7) is provided with a first inner cylindrical portion (8) and a second inner cylindrical portion (9) of smaller diameter, said first inner cylindrical portion (8) allowing the head (2) of the screw (1) to be received, and said second inner cylindrical portion (9) being a through portion.
