Abstract

A window is mounted on supporting structure of a motorcar body on a carrier for limited vertical movement. A motion-transmitting linkage connecting the carrier to a lifting drive includes a link which is movably secured to the carrier and the supporting structure. One of the securing devices for the link includes a forked guide channel having the shape of a tuning fork and bounding a keyhole-shaped guide slot. A guide pin has a shank slidably received in the slot and two enlarged heads outside the slot on respective ends of the shank. The width of the enlarged slot part is sufficient to pass one of the heads while the remainder of the slot is narrower than the corresponding dimensions of both heads for securing the pin against transverse movement out of the narrow slot part.
