Disclosed is improved sunshade over the prior art, by adding additional strength with a Zig-Zag clamping mechanism for connecting and securing the two endpoints of each flexible oval shaped loops to allow flexibility and strength. And still utilizing materials that add superior reflective and insulating properties, plus an optional stronger vinyl backing for cosmetic appeal. Allowing the sunshade the durability and strength to stay in position during its use.

There are several types of sunshades available in market to cover view through window partially or fully. Typically, such sunshades have a fabric sewed on a flexible wire loop to keep the fabric erect against a window. A Sunshade is placed against glass windows to block sun rays. Conventionally, two adjacent sunshades are used to cover most of the area of a car front or rear windshield. However, conventional sunshades are unable to fully block sun ray and leave substantial uncovered portion at borders of the sunshade on a car window especially on a car windshield because they do not have any fabric sewed outside of flexible loop region. This new type sunshade has extra borders to cover uneven surfaces at borders of the window its being placed against.

Disclosed is improved sunshade over the prior art, by adding additional strength with a Zig-Zag clamping mechanism for connecting and securing the two endpoints of each flexible oval shaped loops to allow flexibility and strength. Support structure being oval shaped or being other than round shaped to allow better fitment in various configurations windows from conventionally being a perfectly round. A size-selection process by premeasured windshield glasses where each size's fitments to list of vehicles of vise-versa. This methodology also can be applied to various accessories where an accessory is compatible with most but not all vehicles so a chart which provides guidance to consumers whether an accessory will be compatible one specific year make model.

A modular shade includes at least one module that consists of a head rail unit, a foot rail unit, at least one intermediate rail unit, and a plurality of slat components. A top slat may be coupled to the head rail unit and the intermediate rail unit, and a bottom slat component may be coupled to the intermediate rail unit and the foot rail unit. Further, additional intermediate rail units and intermediate slat components may be added to the module to alter the shape and size of the module, and the module may be coupled to one or more additional modules to change the overall shape and size of the modular shade.

An insulating window shade has a compressible fill container having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the compressible fill container is configured to be moveable between an expanded position and a compressed position. A fill material is disposed substantially uniformly within the compressible fill container, wherein the fill material is capable of being repeatedly compressed and expanded as the compressible fill container is moved between the expanded position and the compressed position. The fill material forms a thermal boundary for trapping gas, reducing convection and contribute to aesthetic properties of the window shade. A divider control and coordination system enables movement of the divider, thereby changing the aesthetic and/or insulating properties of the insulating window panel. In the compressed position, the length of the compressible fill container is approximately 25% or less than the length of the compressible fill container in the expanded position.

An arched window covering comprising a panel (e.g., having a series of elongated cells) positioned in a fan arrangement defining a central space near a center of rotation of the fan arrangement, a base positioned in the central space, and a support member supported by the base and positioned to provide support to the panel. Preferably, the arched window covering further comprises a rail secured to at least one of two ends of the panel. In one embodiment, the base defines an opening adapted to receive the support member. The support member preferably comprises an elongated member extending from the base toward a radially outer portion of the panel, and a spacer member supported by the elongated member and adapted to hold the elongated member spaced from the panel. In one arrangement, a position of the spacer member relative to the elongated member is adjustable.

A smart transformable shading system with adaptability to expand and retract in response to solar radiation comprises, in one implementation, a housing unit, a plurality of structural cells, and a plurality of modular units. The structural cells are within the housing unit, and are aligned in first and directions with respect to the housing unit. Each modular unit is placed within a corresponding structural cell, and includes a plurality of structural rings, a plurality of deployable shell panels, a plurality of control units, and a plurality of circuit units. Each circuit unit is connected to a corresponding control unit, which in turn is connected to a corresponding deployable shell panel, the combination of which is placed within a corresponding structural ring to transform into different geometries in response to light.

Adjustable plantation shutters and methods for forming and installing the same. A shutter includes a frame that includes a base portion with a hub and an arch portion coupled to the base portion. The shutter further includes a plurality of louvers extending from the hub toward the arch portion, each louver including a pivot axis. The shutter is configured to selectively transition between a closed orientation and an open orientation by rotating each louver about the pivot axis. In some embodiments, each louver is operatively coupled to the arch portion via a magnetic coupling. In some embodiments, each louver is coupled to the hub via a corresponding drive pin, and the shutter further includes a drive mechanism operatively coupled to each louver to pivot each louver about the respective pivot axis.
