Abstract
A cable-driven window lift for vehicles, in particular motor vehicles, and comprises a drive unit for the cable core (29) of the cable assembly (15), said cable core (29) being guided by deflecting means (16) over at least one substantially vertical path within which it is connected to an lifter (14) holding the window pane (9) preferably at its lower edge zone, the window pane (9) being guided by its side edges (10, 11) in guide rails (12, 13) respectively on the side of the vehicle and of the door. To achieve simple and accurate guidance of the pane at simplified design, the invention provides that the minimum of one lifter (14) shall move up-and-down with the cable core (29) in the absence of separate guides and that the deflection means (16) for the cable core (29) be mounted on the guide rails (12, 13) of the window pane (9).
