Adjustable Latch For Window Assembly

View page
US Patent:
60329904, Mar 7, 2000
Filed:
Aug 12, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/133011
Inventors:
Ricky L. Stone - St. Joseph TN
Bruce Handrinos - Washington MI
Michael Garascia - Warren MI
Marko Djekovic - Shelby Township MI
Donald Gatson - Ypsilanti MI
Assignee:
Dura Automotive Systems, Inc. - Rochester Hills MI
International Classification:
E05C 1732
US Classification:
292263
Abstract:
A latch assembly for a windowpane of a motor vehicle window is disclosed. The latch assembly has a latch anchor attachable to the motor vehicle, a latch base and a lever or linking mechanism connecting the latch anchor to the latch base. The latch base has an upper base attached to the linking mechanism and a lower base attached to the windowpane. The lower base may be secured to the windowpane either by an adhesive or by partial encapsulation with a polyurethane material which bonds to the windowpane. The upper base is adjustable with respect to the lower base along a first axis to accommodate sheet metal variations, tolerance errors and other misalignments. At least one elongate riser extending from the lower base is received by a corresponding elongate opening of the upper base to form an interlock between the upper base and the lower base resisting separation along second and third axes, which are perpendicular to the first axis and to each other. The elongate riser may optionally have a tenon cross section and the elongate opening on the upper base may have a mortise cross section so that the interlock is a slidable dovetail interlock.
