This invention relates to new and useful im
provements in automobile ‘door glass channel re
tainers.
One object of my invention is to provide a door
door. The upper end of the channel retainer D
is formed with a flat elongated upwardly extend
ing arm or strip I, whereby the retainer may be
secured to the door by means of the fastening
glass channel retainer adapted to be easily and
screw 2.
readily applied to replace the original channel
series of transverse longitudinally spaced aper
tures 3 .to facilitate adjustment.
A right-angularly bent bracket 4 is adjus'tably
when rusted or worn.
A further object of my invention is to provide
a channel retainer of the character speci?ed that
is adjustable to the right or left front door or back
door.
A still further object of my invention is to pro
vide an automobile door glass channel retainer
that is readily adjustable to the length of the
glass pan-e1 in the door, or adjustable either up
or down to the length of the channel in the door.
‘Still another object of my invention is to pro~
vide a door glass channel retainer of the kind
mentioned that is adjustable to the width of the
door, thus allowing the glass panel to slide up and ‘
down at the right pitch or angle.
With ‘the foregoing and other objects in View
The arm or strip I is formed with a
secured by means of the transverse bolt 5 and the
series of transverse longitudinally spaced open
ings 5, to the lower end of the glass channel re
tainer D. One arm, as 1, of the bracket 4 is
formed with a central horizontal slot 8 to c0m~
,. pensate for any required adjustment of the chan
nel retainer D to permit the glass panel to slide
or run up and down in the door at the proper
angle. The other arm 9 of the bracket 4 is formed
with the upper and lower series of transverse
apertures Ill and H and is out to the proper size
for the length of the glass panel. The arm 9 is
anchored vto the door by the fastening screws I2,
which extend through the corresponding pair of
aligned apertures it and i I.
From ‘the foregoing description taken in com
features of construction, combination and ar» ~
nection with the drawings, it is thought that the
rangemenlt of parts illustrated in the accompany
construction, operation and advantages of my in~
ing drawings and more particularly pointed out in
vention will be readily understood, without re
