Pivotable Sheath Stop for a Sheath, and Corresponding Bracket, Guide Rail, Assembly, Window Lift, and Mounting Method

An assembly, including:

• a sheath stop for a sheath partially surrounding a window lift cable, the sheath stop including:
• a hole for passage of the window lift cable through the sheath stop;
• a sheath abutment for locking, on one side of the sheath stop relative to the passage hole, the sheath of the window lift cable passing through the sheath stop,
• and, in which, on the other side of the sheath stop relative to the hole,
• the sheath stop includes a shaft provided to be mounted on a bracket for the sheath stop so that the sheath stop has a freely rotatable mounting configuration on the bracket the shaft extending transversely to the main orientation of the passage hole;
• and
• wherein the passage hole has a partial side clearance that allows the cable passing through the sheath stop a degree of bending freedom in a plane perpendicular to the shaft when the sheath stop freely pivots about the shaft wherein the bracket includes a housing for receiving in locking position the sheath stop, the housing including an interface for mounting the shaft of the sheath stop, so that, when the shaft cooperates with the mounting interface, the bracket is suitable for allowing the free rotation of the sheath stop until reaching the locking position in the housing;
• and
• wherein, the shaft of the sheath stop is mounted in the mounting interface for the shaft of the sheath stop.

A window lift, comprising:

• a slider for moving a window;
• a guide rail for the slider, including a sheath stop bracket, wherein the guide rail comprises a plate for receiving a drum for winding a system of window lift cables, the sheath stop bracket forming one piece with the plate, wherein the the system of cables are configured for moving the slider along the guide rail, the system of cables including:
• a cable;
• and
• a sheath partially surrounding the cable, in which the cable freely sliders in order to allow the moving of the slider along the guide rail when the cable is tensioned, in spite of a bending of the portion of the cable that is surrounded by the sheath,
• the cable passing through the sheath stop of the assembly through the passage hole, with the sheath arranged facing the sheath abutment of the sheath stop;
• the bracket being arranged on the guide rail so that, in the freely rotatable mounting configuration, the free pivoting of the sheath stop towards the locking position increases the tension of the cable.
