A sun visor for automobiles that makes operation smooth and minimizes a reaction force, the sun visor includes a sun visor body including a supporter receiver (Rs) having both side walls, a top surface and a bottom surface; a shaft horizontally disposed in the supporter receiver through one side wall; and a supporter received in the supporter receiver (Rs) of the sun visor body, and rotatably supported by shaft support holes, to which the shaft is inserted, while horizontal movement of the supporter is limited, in which upper and lower portions of front and rear surfaces of the supporter are provided with upper support curved surfaces and lower support curved surfaces in a longitudinal direction which are opposite to each other.

A window assembly includes a first pane of glass. The first pane of glass is chemically strengthened and exhibits a surface compressive stress of 400 MPa or more. A second pane of glass has a first major surface and a second major surface. The second major surface of the second pane of glass and a first major surface of the first pane of glass face each other. The second pane of glass includes 68-74 weight % SiO.sub.2, 2-6 weight % MgO, 1-10 weight % CaO, 12-16 weight % Na.sub.2O, 0-1 weight % K.sub.2O, 0.8-2.0 weight % Fe.sub.2O.sub.3 (total iron), 0-1.25 weight % TiO.sub.2, and 0-1.25 weight % CeO.sub.2. A polymeric interlayer is provided between the first pane of glass and the second pane of glass. The window assembly exhibits a direct solar transmittance of 55% or less and a total solar transmittance of 65% or less.

A system. The system may include a glare shield positioned between an exterior pane of an aircraft window and an interior portion of an aircraft. The glare shield may include at least one anti-reflective mask and at least one viewing aperture. Each of the at least one anti-reflective mask may be positioned adjacent one of the at least one viewing aperture.

An awning connector assembly includes a mounting bracket having first and second elongated and parallel beads, and an extension bracket defining first and second elongated and parallel grooves configured to slidingly receive the first and second beads in laterally locked engagement. The mounting bracket can be secured to a slide-out room by the vehicle manufacturer to facilitate after-purchase installation of an awning assembly if desired by the vehicle owner.

Provided is a thermoplastic resin film with which a glass plate-including laminate that looks different in color tone depending on the direction or angle can be obtained. A thermoplastic resin film according to the present invention includes a thermoplastic resin and a pigment, and when the thermoplastic resin film is planarly viewed with a transmission electron microscope, a number of pigments having an aspect ratio of 3 or more and 50 or less is 3 or more and 100 or less in a rectangular region of 13 m long and 18 m wide.

An automotive solar protection plate, which is located hung on the side window of a car, through the use of fins or tongues that are an integral part of the plate and made from the same material, being plate and fins only one piece. The plate is adapted to be placed both on slightly curved windows or on straight windows of vehicles of different types (cars, trucks, off-road vehicles and others).

A self-contained, self-extending, roof-mounted shading apparatus, capable of both vertical and horizontal movement to provide shade for a vehicle.

A system such as a vehicle may have adjustable structures such as adjustable windows. Adjustable windows may have adjustable layers such as adjustable tint layers, adjustable reflectivity layers, and adjustable haze layers. Adjustable window layers may be incorporated into a window with one or more transparent structural layers such as a pair of glass window layers. Adjustable components such as adjustable reflectivity layers, adjustable haze layers, and adjustable tint layers may be interposed between the pair of glass window layers. Fixed partially reflective mirrors, fixed tint layers, and/or fixed haze layers may be used in place of adjustable tint, haze, and reflectivity layers and/or may be incorporated into windows in addition to adjustable tint, haze, and reflectivity layers.

A shading device for a vehicle, comprising a dimming glass plate capable of changing a light transmittance thereof, wherein the dimming glass plate is provided at a portion of a vehicular window glass to separate an interior of vehicular compartment from outside of the vehicular compartment or provided at a portion of a surface of the vehicular window glass that faces inside of the vehicular compartment; a display apparatus formed of a light transmitting material and disposed at a surface of the dimming glass plate that faces inside of the vehicular compartment, with a display portion facing inside the vehicular compartment; an image pickup device to capture an area outside of a vehicle to generate image pickup data, wherein the area is at an opposite surface on the dimming glass plate, the opposite surface being opposite a surface on which the display apparatus is provided; a data processing circuit to generate display image data to be displayed on the display portion based on the image pickup data generated by the image pickup device; and a switch to change light transmittance of the dimming glass plate.
