A wireless power transfer system for a vehicle door glass includes: a door glass having an electric load, and a pair of electrodes connected to the electric load; a power transmitter mounted in a vehicle door, and wirelessly transmitting power of a battery; and a power receiver embedded in the door glass, and wirelessly receiving the power from the power transmitter, wherein the power receiver applies the power received from the power transmitter to the pair of electrodes of the door glass.

A vehicle including a storage bin and a restraint control system. An actuation assembly is configured to activate in response to a signal from the restraint control system. A tether is operable between undeployed and deployed positions and the actuation assembly is configured to deploy the tether over an opening defined by the storage bin.

A motorized shade assembly is provided having a discontinuous web extending between two rollers, one of which is motorized and the other is tensioned or biased toward rotation away from the other roller. The roller motor can be mounted inside of one of the rollers, and the tensioning device, such as a torsion spring, can be mounted inside of the other roller. The web includes a shade portion and a strap portion, with a rigid draw bar at the junction of those portions. Rotation of the rollers causes the strap portion to wrap over one of the rollers as the shade portion unwraps from the other roller. The shade assembly can be positioned between an inclined or curved vehicle window and an interior shroud for the window, such as found with a cab-over window of a Class B motorhome. The draw bar and fasteners connecting the strap to the draw bar facilitate movement of the shade when in contact with the shroud. Friction reducing tape or surface treatment on the periphery of the window opening in the shroud can also facilitate movement of the shade when in contact with the shroud. Motor actuation can be hardwired to a desired location within the vehicle, or wirelessly controlled by the user, as with an RF device.

A shade arrangement for vehicles, in particular for a side window of a car door, the shade arrangement including a roll up blind web that is movable from a pulled in position into a shading pulled out position; a winding shaft at which the roll up blind web is attached with a first edge; a pull out profile at which the roll up blind web is attached with a second edge; a first drive which actuates the winding shaft for rolling up the roll up blind web; a lifting rod which is removably attachable at the pull out profile; a second drive through which the lifting rod arranged at the pull out profile moves the roll up blind web by a linear movement between the pulled in position and the pulled out position.

An interior structure includes a pillar garnish, a channel member, and a screen member. The pillar garnish is integral with a center pillar, and is formed with an opening facing a vehicle cabin and formed with a hollow housing section on the opposite side to the vehicle cabin. The channel member is provided so as to be capable of being housed in the housing section and capable of moving toward the vehicle cabin through the opening. The screen member is provided at the channel member so as to be housed in the housing section when in a non-deployed state and so as to be deployed in the vehicle cabin in a state in which the channel member has been moved into the vehicle cabin.

A windshield shading assembly for a vehicle includes a housing that is coupled to the vehicle proximate to an upper edge of the vehicle's windshield. The housing extends substantially between opposing side edges of the windshield. A panel is selectively extendible from the housing through a slot in the housing. A slit in the panel extends from a bottom of the panel to proximate to a top of the panel. The slit is configured to part to permit passing of an arm of a rearview mirror as the panel is extended from the housing. An actuator is coupled to the housing and is operationally coupled to the panel. The actuator is positioned to urge the panel through the slot to a deployed configuration. The panel is positioned adjacent to the windshield and is configured to substantially shield an interior space of the vehicle from solar radiation passing through the windshield.

A vehicle apparatus configured to selectively position and enclose an opening formed in at least one panel of a vehicle comprises a sliding panel and a positioning mechanism. The sliding panel comprises an electrical device in communication with a control circuit of the vehicle and the positioning mechanism is configured to slidably position the sliding panel along a positioning track between an open position and a closed position. A control connection is configured to transmit a control signals between the control circuit of the vehicle and the electrical device. The control connection extends from a portion of the vehicle to a connection interface of the electrical device, and the connection apparatus is configured to communicate a control signal to adjust an operating state of the electrical device in both the open position and the closed position.

A drive device for a shade for vehicles, the drive device comprising a slider that is movable between a first position and a second position; a rope at which the slider is attached and configured to move the slider between the first position and the second position; a rod mounted at the slider and supported by the slider along a movement path of the rod; a deflection device that deflects the rope coming out of the slider in a first direction into a second opposite direction and that is arranged laterally from the movement path of the rod; a housing in which the deflection device is arranged; a support or guide tube in which the slider is movable and which is arranged at the housing; and a return device which displaces the rope that is deflected into the opposite direction in a direction towards the movement path of the rod.
