A window assembly includes a substrate with an electrically conductive transparent layer that defines an area having a periphery. An outer region devoid of the transparent layer is defined adjacent to and along the periphery. An elongated antenna element is disposed in the outer region. A feeding element couples to the antenna element for energizing the antenna element. The area of the transparent layer defines at least two protrusions being spaced apart from one another and extending integrally from the area and into the outer region. The antenna element abuts and is in direct electrical contact with the at least two protrusions. The feeding element couples to the antenna element at a location between the at least two protrusions or at one of the at least two protrusions.

A vehicle window system includes a vehicle door that has a window region. The system includes a fixed window having an exterior surface and an interior surface, a division bar, and a movable window. The fixed window is arranged in a first portion of the window region, and the division bar is arranged along a first region of the interior surface. The movable window is arranged in a second portion of the window region and is configured to close against the division bar. The division bar is not directly visible from outside of the vehicle door when viewed at an elevation of the fixed window. To illustrate, the movable window can be configured to move vertically within the first portion of the window region and the fixed window arranged at the top of the window region and the division bar is arranged substantially horizontally along the interior surface.

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

A sunshade system for shading a display in a vehicle includes a vehicle that has a dashboard, a vent and a display. Each of the vent and the display re positioned on the dashboard. The vent is positioned above the display and the display may be observed. A shade is removably coupled to the vent. The shade may shade the display from sunlight thereby enhancing visibility of the display.

Disclosed is a vehicle having a movable and retractable sun shield. The vehicle comprises a vehicle body and a retractable device, wherein a cavity is arranged at the top of the cab of the vehicle body, an opening is arranged on the front end of the cavity; and the retractable device comprises a sun shield and an actuating device, the sun shield is mounted in the cavity at the top of vehicle body in an extensible and retractable manner, the actuating device is mounted in the cavity at the top of vehicle body and coupled to the sun shield to drive the sun shield to stretch out and draw back, the cavity at the top of vehicle body is provided with a sliding rail, the sun shield is provided with bending rims at two sides thereof, and the bending rims are slidably engaged on the sliding rail.

A vehicle may include a door pivotally mounted to a vehicle body at a lower end portion of the door, to open or close an opening formed at a portion of one surface of the vehicle, while being configured to form a bottom surface connected to a floor of the vehicle in a state of completely pivoting toward an outside of the vehicle in accordance with an opening operation of the door, forming a terrace space connected to an internal compartment of the vehicle, and a seat slidably mounted in the internal compartment of the vehicle, to provide a seating compartment for passengers, while being configured to be slidable outwards toward the opening of the vehicle, providing a seating compartment in the terrace space when the terrace space is used in accordance with the opening operation of the door.

The object of this invention is to provide a laminated automotive glazing having an obscuration area produced by printing the obscuration on a film laminated between at least two layers of plastic interlayers rather than printing and firing an enamel frit onto the glass. This results in a laminate having superior optical quality, higher strength and a lower probability of breakage as compared to a laminate with a black enamel frit obscuration.

A vehicle roof structure including roof glass that includes an opaque coating section formed so as to shield a structural object disposed at a vehicle lower side from view from the vehicle cabin outer side, a shielding body, and an extension. The shielding body is provided at the vehicle lower side of the roof glass at a coating width direction inner end of the opaque coating section, includes an upper end on a vehicle upper side attached to the roof glass, and shields a location of the structural object facing the opaque coating section. The extension includes an extension direction leading end positioned further inward with respect to the glass surface than the coating width direction inner end, and shields a location of the structural object jutting out further inward with respect to the glass surface than the shielding body.

A coated article includes a low-E coating having an absorbing layer located over a functional layer (IR reflecting layer) and designed to cause the coating to have an increased outside reflectance (e.g., in an IG window unit) and good selectivity. In certain embodiments, the absorbing layer is metallic, or substantially metallic, and is provided directly over and contacting a lower of two IR reflecting layers. In certain example embodiments, a nitride based layer (e.g., silicon nitride or the like) may be located directly over and contacting the absorbing layer in order to reduce or prevent oxidation thereof during heat treatment (e.g., thermal tempering, heat bending, and/or heat strengthening) thereby permitting predictable coloration, high outside reflectance values, and/or good selectivity to be achieved. Coated articles according to certain example embodiments of this invention may be used in the context of insulating glass (IG) window units, vehicle windows, other types of windows, or in any other suitable application.

The present invention aims to provide an intermediate film for laminated glass which, in the case of being used for constituting a laminated glass, enables to improve the sound-insulating property of the obtained laminated glass, and a laminated glass. The intermediate film 1 for laminated glass of the present invention comprises a first layer 2 which contains a polyvinyl acetal resin and a plasticizer, and the polyvinyl acetal resin and the first plasticizer are a polyvinyl acetal resin and a first plasticizer which have a cloud point of 5° C. or lower when the cloud point is measured using a solution prepared by dissolving 8 parts by weight of the polyvinyl acetal resin in 100 parts by weight of the first plasticizer; and the laminated glass 11 of the present invention comprises first and second components for laminated glass, and the intermediate film 1 for laminated glass sandwiched between the first and second components for laminated glass.
