THE PATENT OFFICE, AT CHENNAI
, Description:FIELD
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle window assembly. More particularly to a modular rear door window assembly having a fixed pane and configured to operatively engage a movable pane.
BACKGROUND
The background information herein below relates to the present disclosure but is not necessarily prior art.
Generally, a rear vehicle door is provided with a full frame size glass window. However, due to the presence of a wheel arc constituted in the vehicle body, the downward movement of the full frame size glass window is not possible. Thereby, the glass stops at the halfway in the middle which creates hindrance to the passengers sitting on a rear seat of the vehicle.
To overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, a conventional split type glass construction is used. The conventional split type glass construction consists of a movable pane and a fixed pane. The movable pane is configured to retract in a passage provided in a window frame, whereas the fixed pane remains stationary in the window frame. The fixed pane is typically required to avoid the interference of the movable pane with the rear wheel arc of the vehicle when the window is lowered. Therefore, to enable the sliding of the movable pane, a channel is provided in which the moving pane slides. The channel is provided in-between the fixed pane and the moving pane and thereby, it defines a passage for the sliding of the moving pane.
However, the channel is mounted to the rear door frame of the vehicle in three possible ways:
• Encapsulation: In this type of configuration, the divider channel configured with a molded fixed pane and a passage defined to mount the movable pane. The encapsulation configuration uses a GRC seals locked at top and support from the sides such that the channel remains fixed and rigid. However, if somehow the fixed pane breaks, the complete molded assembly required to be replaced, which is non-economical for the owner of the vehicle.
• Countersunk: In this type of configuration, a pair of holes is drilled at the top of the rear door frame so as to mount the channel. However, there is always a possibility of water leakage from the top through these holes. And further, the drilled hole may also acts as a crack initiating site surrounding the holes.
• Simple hole: It refers to a configuration in which one set of hole is drilled and a bolt is mounted from the top in the door panel. However, the bolt head remains visible in an open door condition and difficult to hide as the door seal would restrict the path. Hence, it is difficult to control the water leakage in-case if there is a variation in the body seal gap.
Therefore, there is a need for an arrangement to mount a fixed pane and a movable pane in a rear door frame of a vehicle that eliminates the aforementioned drawbacks.
OBJECTS
Some of the objects of the present disclosure, which at least one embodiment herein satisfies, are as follows:
An object of the present disclosure is to provide an arrangement for mounting a movable pane and a fixed pane in a rear door frame of a vehicle.
Another object of the present disclosure is to provide an arrangement for mounting a movable pane and a fixed pane which avoids water leakage.
Yet another object of the present disclosure is to provide an arrangement for mounting a movable pane and a fixed pane which does not have protruded part on an outer panel of a window mounting frame.
Still another object of the present disclosure is to provide an arrangement for mounting a movable pane and a fixed pane which is economical.
Yet another object of the present disclosure is to provide an arrangement for mounting a movable pane and a fixed pane which require minimal mainatainace and service.
Still another object of the present disclosure is to provide an arrangement for mounting a movable pane and a fixed pane which avoids the drilling of hole on a panel of the rear door frame.
Yet another object of the present disclosure is to provide an arrangement for mounting a movable pane and a fixed pane which is easily mountable.
Still another object of the present disclosure is to provide an arrangement which secures the fixed pane rigidly and defines a passage for the sliding of the movable pane.
Yet another object of the present disclosure is to provide a method for securing the fixed pane and the movable pane in a rear door frame of a vehicle.
Other objects and advantages of the present disclosure will be more apparent from the following description, which is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

Typically, a rear door frame of the vehicle is provided with a full frame size glass window. However, due to the presence of a wheel arc constituted in the vehicle body, the downward movement of the full frame size glass is not possible. Thereby, the glass stops at the halfway in the middle which creates hindrance to the passengers sitting on a rear seat of the vehicle.
To overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, a conventional split type glass construction is used. Figure 1 illustrate an encapsulated mounting assembly of the conventional split type glass construction; and a perspective view of the rear door frame 10’ of the vehicle having a fixed pane 18 and a movable pane 20 configured into a window mounting frame 36, respectively.

But, if somehow the fixed pane 18 breaks, the complete molded assembly required to be replaced. And the removal of the complete molded assembly is costly which increase the overall cost of the vehicle. Secondly by countersunk in which a pair of holes are drilled at the top of the rear door frame so as to mount the channel. But, there is always a possibility of water leakage from the top through these holes. And thirdly, in which one set of hole is drilled and a bolt is mounted from the top. But, the bolt head remains visible in an open door condition, which is difficult to hide as the door seal would restrict the path.
