Abstract
Abstract A door mounted vehicle window installation particularly adapted for easy positional adjustment of the window, the installation including a guide member projecting above the upper margin of the door and carrying a pair of follower units each having a pivot shaft projecting perpendicularly to the path of motion defined by the guide member, a pair of circular eccentric bushings each rotatably supported on a respective one of the pivot shafts, and a window having a pair of circular apertures therein adapted to rotatably receive a corresponding one of the bushings. When the window is in a closed or raised position, each bushing is situated above the upper margin of the door for easy accessibility and each functions upon rotation about the corresponding pivot shaft to shift the position of the window relative to the door.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
213 words
In a vehicle body having an opening therein, the combination comprising, a guide member secured to said vehicle body in fixed relation to said opening, a closure member, a follower member having a support projection thereon, means mounting said follower member on said guide member for bodily movement longitudinally of said guide member in a path of motion defined by the latter with a portion of said support projection extending generally perpendicularly to said opening, a circular bushing having an aperture therein situated eccentrically with respect to the center of said bushing and adapted to be closely and rotatably received on said support projection so that said bushing is eccentrically rotatable about said support projection, means on said closure member adapted to closely and rotatably receive said bushing so that said closure member is constrained by said follower member to move in a path of motion defined by said guide member between an open position and a closed position closing said opening, said bushing upon eccentric rotation relative to said support projection shifting said closure member relative to said opening for effecting positional adjustment of said closure member, and means adapted to secure said bushing in any angular position thereof relative to said support projection for maintaining the adjustment of said closure member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
213 words
In a vehicle body having an opening therein, the combination comprising, a guide member secured to said vehicle body in fixed relation to said opening, a closure member, a follower member having a support projection thereon, means mounting said follower member on said guide member for bodily movement longitudinally of said guide member in a path of motion defined by the latter with a portion of said support projection extending generally perpendicularly to said opening, a circular bushing having an aperture therein situated eccentrically with respect to the center of said bushing and adapted to be closely and rotatably received on said support projection so that said bushing is eccentrically rotatable about said support projection, means on said closure member adapted to closely and rotatably receive said bushing so that said closure member is constrained by said follower member to move in a path of motion defined by said guide member between an open position and a closed position closing said opening, said bushing upon eccentric rotation relative to said support projection shifting said closure member relative to said opening for effecting positional adjustment of said closure member, and means adapted to secure said bushing in any angular position thereof relative to said support projection for maintaining the adjustment of said closure member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
213 words
In a vehicle body having an opening therein, the combination comprising, a guide member secured to said vehicle body in fixed relation to said opening, a closure member, a follower member having a support projection thereon, means mounting said follower member on said guide member for bodily movement longitudinally of said guide member in a path of motion defined by the latter with a portion of said support projection extending generally perpendicularly to said opening, a circular bushing having an aperture therein situated eccentrically with respect to the center of said bushing and adapted to be closely and rotatably received on said support projection so that said bushing is eccentrically rotatable about said support projection, means on said closure member adapted to closely and rotatably receive said bushing so that said closure member is constrained by said follower member to move in a path of motion defined by said guide member between an open position and a closed position closing said opening, said bushing upon eccentric rotation relative to said support projection shifting said closure member relative to said opening for effecting positional adjustment of said closure member, and means adapted to secure said bushing in any angular position thereof relative to said support projection for maintaining the adjustment of said closure member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
213 words
In a vehicle body having an opening therein, the combination comprising, a guide member secured to said vehicle body in fixed relation to said opening, a closure member, a follower member having a support projection thereon, means mounting said follower member on said guide member for bodily movement longitudinally of said guide member in a path of motion defined by the latter with a portion of said support projection extending generally perpendicularly to said opening, a circular bushing having an aperture therein situated eccentrically with respect to the center of said bushing and adapted to be closely and rotatably received on said support projection so that said bushing is eccentrically rotatable about said support projection, means on said closure member adapted to closely and rotatably receive said bushing so that said closure member is constrained by said follower member to move in a path of motion defined by said guide member between an open position and a closed position closing said opening, said bushing upon eccentric rotation relative to said support projection shifting said closure member relative to said opening for effecting positional adjustment of said closure member, and means adapted to secure said bushing in any angular position thereof relative to said support projection for maintaining the adjustment of said closure member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
290 words
In a vehicle body having an opening therein, the combination comprising, an elongated guide member having a mouth portion extending the length of said guide member, means supporting the guide member on the vehicle body on the exterior side of said opening in fixed relation to the latter and generally adjacent one edge thereof with said mouth portion opening toward the interior of said vehicle body, a closure member adapted to close said opening, a follower member having a support projection thereon, means mounting said follower member on said guide member for bodily movement relative thereto in a path of motion defined thereby and with said support projection extending through said mouth portion and into said opening in a direction generally perpendicular to the latter, a circular bushing having an aperture therein situated eccentrically with respect to the center of said bushing and adapted to be closely and rotatably received on said support projection so that said bushing is eccentrically rotatable about said support projection, means defining a circular aperture in said closure member adapted to closely and rotatably receive said bushing so that said closure member is constrained by said follower member to move in a path of motion defined by said guide member between a closed position in said opening and an open position remote therefrom, said bushing in the closed position of said closure member being situated in said opening for easy accessibility and being operative upon eccentric rotation thereof relative to said support projection to shift said closure member relative to said opening for effecting positional adjustment of said closure member, and means adapted to secure said bushing in any angular position thereof relative to said support projection for maintaining the adjustment of said closure member.
