Powered slider drive interface and drive assembly

A powered slider drive interface for opening and closing a vehicle slider panel across a window aperture, comprising:

• a driver bracket including at least first and second contact surfaces, the driver bracket being disposed on a regulator;
• and
• a driver receiver including at least two stops, each having a contact surface, the driver receiver being disposed on the slider panel;
• wherein when the regulator is caused to move in a first direction, the bracket first contact surface is brought into mechanical contact with the first receiver contact surface, thus urging the slider panel into an open position at which there is a space between the bracket second contact surface and the second receiver contact surface;
• and
• further wherein when the regulator is caused to move in a second direction, the bracket second contact surface is brought into mechanical contact with the second receiver contact surface, thus urging the slider panel into a closed position at which there is a space between the bracket first contact surface and the first receiver contact surface.

A powered slider drive assembly for opening and closing a vehicle slider panel across a window aperture, comprising:

• a driver bracket including at least a first contact surface and a second contact surface, the driver bracket being disposed on a regulator having a cable attached thereto, and the regulator being disposed on a powered slider frame;
• and
• a driver receiver including at least a first receiver stop and a second receiver stop, each having a contact surface, the driver receiver being disposed on the slider panel that is disposed in slider tracks which are positioned above and below the slider panel;
• wherein when a powered slider controller urges the cable into a first direction, the first driver bracket contact surface is brought into mechanical contact with the first receiver contact surface, thus urging the slider panel in the slider tracks and opening at least a portion of the window aperture at which there is a space between the second driver bracket contact surface and the second receiver contact surface;
• further wherein when the powered slider controller urges the cable into a second direction, the second driver bracket contact surface is brought into mechanical contact with the second receiver contact surface, thus urging the slider panel in the slider tracks and closing at least a portion of the window aperture at which there is a space between the first driver bracket contact surface and the first receiver contact surface.

A slider panel assembly, comprising:

• a slider panel having a horizontal slider panel edge;
• and
• a driver receiver including at least two receiver stops, the receiver stops being spaced apart from each other, each receiver stop having a contact surface, and the driver receiver being disposed on the slider panel and parallel to the horizontal slider panel edge;
• wherein when a first external contact surface is brought into mechanical contact with the first receiver stop contact surface there is a space between a second external contact surface and the second receiver contact surface, and when the second external contact surface is brought into mechanical contact with the second receiver contact surface there is a space between the first external contact surface and the first receiver contact surface, thus the slider panel is capable of horizontally opening and closing a window aperture in a vehicle backlite.

A powered slider drive interface for opening and closing a vehicle slider panel across a vehicle backlite window aperture, comprising:

• a slider panel;
• a regulator;
• a first slider panel stop having a first contact surface and a second slider panel stop having a second contact surface, each slider panel stop mounted on the slider panel;
• and
• a regulator stop having a third and a fourth contact surface, the regulator stop mounted on the regulator;
• wherein when the regulator is urged horizontally in a first direction, the first stop contact surface is brought into mechanical contact with the third contact surface and there is a space between the second stop contact surface and the fourth stop contact surface, thereby opening a vehicle backlite window aperture;
• further wherein when the regulator is urged horizontally in a second direction, the second stop contact surface is brought into mechanical contact with the fourth contact surface and there is a space between the first stop contact surface and the third stop contact surface, thereby closing a vehicle backlite window aperture.
