A door curtain mounting structure for a vehicle includes a door panel having a door inner panel disposed and a door outer panel disposed inside and outside thereof, respectively, in a width direction of the vehicle, and a receiving space formed between the door inner panel and the door outer panel; a door frame coupled to the door panel in order to form a door window opened and closed by a window glass; a door trim disposed inside the door inner panel in the width direction of a vehicle; and a door curtain housing in which a door curtain blocking the window glass inside in the width direction of a vehicle is received, the door curtain coupled to the door trim and disposed between the door inner panel and the door outer panel, so that the door curtain is coupled to the door frame to increase a door stiffness.

Disclosed are an electric spiraling piston and systems, devices, apparatuses, and methods utilizing same. An electric spiraling piston includes a drum around which the piston spirals as it is being retracted. A spinning axis of the drum is functionally connected to the drive shaft of a motor, such that motor torque is relayed to the axis. The axis, when spinning with the drum in a first direction, causes the piston to un-spiral and extend out of a housingwhile rounding its cross sectionto assume a straight, rigid position/orientation. The Axis, when spinning with the drum in a second direction, causes the piston to be retracted back into the housingwhile flattening its cross sectionto assume a spiral orientation within the housing.

A shading device including a shading structure displaceable in vehicle-fixed lateral guiding rails between a lowered rest position and a deployed shading position using a drive arrangement. The shading structure in the rest position is lowered down in a vehicle-fixed chamber through a passage, wherein the passage is closable by a cover movable between an open position and a closed position, and a control arrangement for opening and closing the cover is provided and coupled to a displacement movement of the shading structure. The control arrangement includes a control plunger engaging on the cover, which plunger is articulated to the cover in opposed pull and push directions. The control plunger is in operative connection with the cover via a tensioning arrangement which is spring-elastically tensioned in one movement direction and inactively relaxed in an opposite movement direction.

A curtain device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first shade bar. A first shade roller is disposed within the first shade bar and a hook portion is provided in an upper side of the first shade bar. A first curtain member has a first transmissivity. One end of the first curtain member is rolled into the first shade roller and an opposite end of the first curtain member is exposed to a bottom of the first shade bar. A second shade bar is adjacent the bottom of the first shade bar. A second shade roller is configured to be disposed inside a door body that is formed in a lower portion of the door frame. A second curtain member having a second transmissivity has one end connected to the second shade bar and an opposite end rolled into the second shade roller.

A manufacturing method of a roller shade device including a fixed shaft, a winding cylinder which has flexibility, and within which the fixed shaft is inserted to be positioned so as to be rotatable therewith, a shade sheet, and a torsion spring applying a rotary force to the winding cylinder includes a process of inhibiting an axial end portion of the winding cylinder from rotating relative to the fixed shaft in a state where the torsion spring applies the rotary force to the winding cylinder, the axial end portion being away in an axial direction from a position where the torsion spring is connected to the winding cylinder, and a process of bonding the shade sheet to the winding cylinder in a state where the axial end portion is inhibited from rotating.

A door curtain mounting structure for a vehicle includes a door panel having a door inner panel disposed and a door outer panel disposed inside and outside thereof, respectively, in a width direction of the vehicle, and a receiving space formed between the door inner panel and the door outer panel; a door frame coupled to the door panel in order to form a door window opened and closed by a window glass; a door trim disposed inside the door inner panel in the width direction of a vehicle; and a door curtain housing in which a door curtain blocking the window glass inside in the width direction of a vehicle is received, the door curtain coupled to the door trim and disposed between the door inner panel and the door outer panel, so that the door curtain is coupled to the door frame to increase a door stiffness.

A roller blind assembly to shade an opening in the vehicle body having a roller blind web which can be rolled up on a winding roller, and at least one support element for rotatably mounting the winding roller on the vehicle body. According to one approach the support element has a standardized section which is designed to be used with multiple different vehicle models, and a vehicle-specific section which is designed to be used with one specific model of the different vehicle models, so that the standardized section combined with the vehicle-specific section provides a vehicle-specific support element. A method for assembling such a roller blind assembly is provided.

This application relates to a hook assembly for a door curtain of a vehicle. The hook assembly is installed on a door panel to which a door curtain is hooked and fixed. The hook assembly includes a hook body installed to pass through a through-hole formed in the door panel in a load direction due to the door curtain, and a hook pin engaged with the hook body in a direction perpendicular to the load direction due to the door curtain. When the hook pin is engaged with the hook body, the hook body is supported in the through-hole in an engaged direction of the hook pin and one side of the hook body is pressed against a circumference of the through-hole.

Shading system having at least one flexible planar structure mounted such that it can be wound onto at least one winding shaft between a wound-on position of rest and at least one at least partially extended functional position and unwound therefrom. A plurality of strip sections extend in parallel with respect to one another and have different translucency values. A control device changes the translucency of the planar structure through spatial displacement of the planar structure. Two flexible planar structures are provided and are displaceable in parallel or transversely. Each planar structure is provided with strip sections which run longitudinally or transversely and have different translucency values. The control device acts mechanically on at least one planar structure and has at least one manually-operated actuator element.

An open roof construction for a vehicle comprises a rollo assembly. The rollo assembly comprises a rollo screen and a winding shaft for the rollo screen which is rotatable around a stationary axis of rotation. The rollo screen firstly extends in a first direction, next around a reversal member and finally back in an opposite second direction and ends at a rollo screen edge which is attached to a stationary member. The rollo screen has two longitudinal edges which, when the rollo screen is wound off, are brought into engagement with holding members. The longitudinal edges of the rollo screen each comprise a hooking member insertable into a holding groove and hook behind a narrow entrance thereof. A reversal member is provided with a device acting on at least one of the hooking member and holding groove to enable the hooking member to enter and exit the holding groove.
