Sheave supporting element for use in window regulator guide sections

A window regulating device comprising:

• a guide section for a vehicle window regulator, the guide section including a hole there through;
• a supporting element in the form of a metal bar including:
• a substantially flat vertical part with a curved upper base, the curved upper base including a central groove formed in a perimeter thereof,
• a tab protruding perpendicular from the upper base of the vertical part,
• a horizontal part extending perpendicular from a lower portion of the vertical part, wherein the horizontal part has an essentially convex shape and includes spaced openings therein adapted to receive respective wire covers, and
• a ring cup extending from the vertical part, the ring cup including a hole extending there through adapted to receive a rivet shaft;
• a wire guide sheave including a hole extending through a central part of the wire guide sheave, the wire guide sheave being mounted to the supporting element such that a surface of the wire guide sheave rests against a surface of the ring cup;
• and
• a rivet with a shaft, the shaft extending through the hole in the wire guide sheave, the hole in the ring cup, and the hole in the guide section, to secure the supporting element and wire guide sheave to the guide section;
• wherein the tab extends through a selected one of a plurality of apertures in the guide section, and the position of the sheaf supporting element relative to the guide section can be altered by moving the tab into a different one of the plurality of apertures.
