Abstract
An electric window regulator for motor vehicles is provided with a handle which can be coupled to the window winding drum to effect manual operation of the window in an emergency, the handle having a portion which screws into the hub of the drum to displace a spring loaded splined coupling member and disengage the winding drum from the electric motor reduction gear drive, thereby permitting manual operation of the drum by the handle.
Claims3
An electric window regulator for motor vehicles, comprising a grooved drum upon which is wound a window operating cable, an electric motor drivingly connected to the drum through a reduction gear, the driven member of the reduction gear being disposed alongside the grooved drum, a coupling for connecting the drum torsionally to the said driven member, the said coupling having an axially movable member, loaded by resilient means so as normally to couple the driven member and the drum together, and an auxiliary handle for effecting manual emergency operation of the regulator, said handle being adapted to fit on to an outer end portion of the hub of the drum and having a threaded shank which is adapted to be screwed into the said hub to displace the movable member of the coupling axially until it ceases to couple together the drum and the driven member of the reduction gear, thereby making possible manual operation of the drum by means of the said auxiliary handle.
