Above all, in a railless power window system, the lower edge of a corresponding curved window pane with the driver 108 the window sill Be connected, resulting from the curved shape of the window pane, the problem that in the Y direction to the motor vehicle, ie transversely to the motor vehicle, the driver only attached to the window lift cable is located on a different position than the underside of the sucked window. This requires the holding of the driver 108 in a defined in Y-direction mounting position to then insert the window in the driver. Subsequently, usually the fixing of the window pane on the driver, for example by a screw connection, or else there is a visual inspection, whether the driver is locked to the window, for example. Both options require the presence of a mounting hole 122 in the door module 120 so that a mounting worker is able to perform appropriate assembly or control steps.

In the 1 will be holding the driver 108 in the mounting position for inserting the window pane 112 in a corresponding recording 114 of the driver 108 through a wing element 102 a mounting device 100 realized, said wing member in the mounting position in a corresponding counter-recording 110 of the driver 108 intervenes. This ensures that a movement of the driver 108 in the Y direction is no longer possible and also the position of the driver 108 relative to the door module 120 is clearly defined.

The wing element 102 which is in the 1 is formed scoop-shaped, is at the end of an axis 106 the mounting device 100 arranged. The axis 106 itself can by movement in -Y-direction, ie in the direction 116 , in a corresponding actuating opening 124 of the door module 120 be used.

After the windowpane 112 successful at the driver 108 was mounted and a corresponding fixation or control through the mounting hole 122 is done, now has the driver 108 be released for a movement in the Z direction. This is necessary to effect, for example, an opening and closing operation of a window glass opening of a vehicle door. This transfer of the blade-shaped wing element 108 from the mounting position in which the element 102 with the recess 110 is engaged, in the operating position, in which the wing element 102 the driver 108 releases, takes place by rotation of the axis 106 in a rotational manner about the extension direction of this axis. The rotation is effected by inserting a corresponding rotary tool, for example an Allen wrench, into the hexagonal socket 206 the axis 106 is introduced and a rotational movement about the axial direction of extension of the axis 106 is carried out. Through this rotation, the wing becomes 102 from the recess 110 turned off, while at the same time another wing 104 which is also radially on the axis 106 is arranged and which by 90 ° to the wing 102 is offset, due to the rotation of the mounting hole 122 is pushed. This situation is schematic in the 1 outlined.

Due to the fact that in the functional position of the wing 104 the opening 122 Covered, it is ensured that the interior, which between the vehicle door inner side and door module 120 is located, is separated from the door outside. This ensures a clean separation between wet and dry side of the vehicle door.

The operating opening 124 is also to guide the axialrotatory rotation of the axis 106 educated. A fixation of the windowpane 112 at the driver 108 or a visual inspection takes place in the direction 118 through the opening 122 of the door module 120 ,

Not apparent in the 5 For example, locking elements, which both on the wing element 502 as well as the recording 500 can be arranged. These locking elements ensure that the assembly tool 100 is held securely in both the functional and in the mounting position. Nevertheless, the fixing elements should be designed so that when overcoming a predefined holding force disengagement of recording 500 and wing element 502 is possible, so that a transfer from the functional to the mounting position and vice versa is possible.

The 6 shows a flowchart of a method for mounting a window on a motor vehicle door. The procedure begins in step 600 with the insertion of the corresponding assembly tool in a door module. Subsequently, in step 602 the transfer of the assembly tool in the mounting position, in which the driver is set in its corresponding mounting position. If necessary, this also requires a method of the driver in the Z direction, so that a corresponding wing element of the assembly tool can engage in a corresponding counterpart reception of the driver.

In step 604 then the window is inserted into the driver, followed by step 606 , in which a "mounting" of the disc takes place on the driver. Such an assembly may include, for example, a fixation of the window pane on the driver by suitable fixing means as well as a visual inspection of whether the window pane is connected in the intended manner with the driver.

Finally, in step 608 the Überfüh The assembly tool is moved from the assembly to the functional position by rotating the tool about its axis by a rotary motion.

It It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the use of a mounting tool (device for mounting) with a door module limited is, but the inventive concept also readily with, for example a door panel or similar implemented can be.
