Abstract
The invention relates to a device for connecting a window to a window lifter and is distinguished by a simple design, using only a few component parts. In addition, the invention guarantees a simple assembly process. It is characterized in that the gripping jaws can be loaded toward the window by a spring element. According to one preferred variant, the gripping jaws (11, 11a, 11b, 12, 12a, 12b) are connected to an essentially U-shaped spring clasp (2, 2a, 2b). Between at least one gripping jaw (12, 12a, 12b) and one end of the spring clasp (2, 2a, 2b), a tension lever (4, 4a), a tension cam (4b), or the like is disposed, which in its tensed position presses the ends of the spring clasp (2, 2a, 2b) apart and as a result, produces the gripping power.
Claims11
A connector which automatically connects a window to a window lifter comprising:
- a window retainer coupled to the window lifter, the window retainer having first and second gripping jaws and a gap therebetween for insertion of the window;
- a resilient element coupled to the first gripping jaw;
- and
- automatic actuating means in operative communication with the resilient element and the second gripping jaw for receiving the window during insertion of the window into the gap, thereby causing the resilient element to force the gripping jaws to grip the window.
