Removable rear window assembly for vehicles
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12011977B2) describes a vehicle with a unique rear window assembly system. The vehicle includes a body with a wall that has a roller surface and at least one locator aperture. The structural frame of the vehicle partially defines a rear window opening, and a removable rear window assembly is designed to be coupled with the vehicle. This assembly includes rolling locator assemblies that roll across the roller surface to support the weight of the rear window, making it easier for users to install or remove the assembly from the vehicle.
In this patent, the rear window assembly consists of a glass window supported by a perimeter window frame. The rolling locator assemblies, each comprising a base member, roller support, and roller, are coupled to the window frame to facilitate the rolling motion. These assemblies are designed to guide the rear window assembly into place by engaging with the wall's interior surface. Additionally, the system includes locks to further secure the rear window assembly to the vehicle, providing a robust and user-friendly solution for installing and removing the rear window. The structural frame mentioned in the patent is part of a hard top assembly that can be easily attached and detached from the vehicle body, enhancing the versatility and functionality of the vehicle.
