A shading device includes a shading curtain, a drawing device, and connection joints. The shading curtain has a first and a second shading layer, wherein the first and the second shading layer respectively have at least two types of light transmission areas with different light transmission properties. The drawing device has a first and a second drawing member. One of the connection joints is configured to apply an enhanced tensile force on the associated shading layer in the fully deployed state in comparison with in the retracted state of the shading curtain, so that the first and the second shading layer are in the second relative position.

The present invention relates to a window shading apparatus comprising a blind sheet module including a blind sheet which is unwound when pulled in a wound state so as to cover a window of a vehicle and a pair of guide rails, each having one side connected to one side of the blind sheet module, the guide rails respectively guiding movements of the pair of cord units. Each of the guide rails includes a location adjusting unit which is to be fixed after a connecting location with respect to the blind sheet module is adjusted. The window shading apparatus capable of adjusting the installation width according to the present invention can adjust the width corresponding to an installation space, in particular, the installation width, while maintaining the operating performance of the shading apparatus at the same level, thereby improving completeness thereof.

Shading apparatus having a carrier frame on which a roller blind shaft, with a flexible roller blind web, is rotatably supported. A guiding profile arrangement laterally guides the roller blind web, and opposing lateral edges of the roller blind web are each provided with a lateral guiding strip guided in the region of each guiding profile arrangement such that, in partially extended operating position of the roller blind web, a tension is applied to the roller blind web transversely relative to the extension direction of the roller blind web. Adjacent to an end-face bearing of the roller blind shaft, there is provided at both sides a support guide for moving the respective lateral guiding strip into a channel portion of the guiding profile arrangement which positioned between the end-face bearing and an open end-face region of the channel portion of the guiding profile arrangement.

A shade device for a vehicle includes: a shade; a retracting mechanism attached to a base end of the shade and retracting the shade in a stored state; a stay attached to a tip end of the shade; an extractable constant force spring; a rod, its tip end portion being attached to the stay and its base end portion being connected to the constant force spring, biased in a deploying direction of the shade by biasing force of the constant force spring, and transmitting the biasing force to the stay; a guide rail that stores the rod and an extracted portion of the constant force spring in the stored state of the shade, and guides the rod when the shade shifts from the stored state to the deploying state; and a locking mechanism that locks movement of the rod in the stored state of the shade.

A retractable overhead assembly for a vehicle having a retractable cover (912) under tension and an integrated stiffening rod that includes attachment features (916) to selectively connect to a windshield area. The retractable system is self contained within an extrusion keeping the overall package size small and the installation/removal simple. The retractable cover creates a sun shade over the vehicle front cockpit and/or rear passenger area when deployed, and is retractable to a stowed position. The retractable overhead assembly is installable under any hard or soft top assembly configuration, and does not impede use or operation of the hard top or soft top assembly.

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.

A protective device including a flexible fabric shiftable longitudinally between different functional positions, and provided on opposite side edges with respective stiffening strips guided in a manner shiftable longitudinally in vehicle-mounted guide tracks. A pull-out profile which extends transversely with respect to the longitudinal shifting direction of the fabric and is connected to an end region thereof. The pull-out profile is guided in the vehicle-mounted guide tracks by guide elements, and each stiffening strip is fastened on the end side to a respective guide element. Each stiffening strip has at least three receptacles provided one behind another in the longitudinal shifting direction, and the guide element is assigned at least three profiling portions spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal shifting direction and projecting into the receptacles in a form-fitting manner transversely with respect to the longitudinal shifting direction.

A shade assembly is positioned proximate a window. The shade assembly includes a housing. A shade is configured to deploy from the housing. A user interface includes a switch for selectively activating a feature of a vehicle.

A curtain assembly for a vehicle fixed by a magnetic force includes a curtain selectively stored in a vehicle in a rolled state, a shade bar provided at an end portion of the curtain in a deploying direction in a direction perpendicular to the deploying direction of the curtain, a frame to which the shade bar is fixed to maintain a state in which the curtain has been deployed when the curtain is maximally drawn out, a first magnet provided on one of the frame and the shade bar, and a locker provided on another of the frame and the shade bar, protruding therefrom when the shade bar approaches the frame within a predetermined distance, and attached to the first magnet by a magnetic force of the first magnet.

A sunshade device includes: a roll shade having a shade; a rod provided in a front end portion of the shade; two guide rails each configured to guide the shade; two first sliding members each having a slider attached to a corresponding one of opposite ends of the rod and guided by a corresponding one of the guide rails; and two second sliding members each having a shade support portion configured to support a shade corner portion and guided by a corresponding one of the guide rails, wherein the slider and the shade support portion are arranged in a direction crossing an advancing and retreating direction of the shade, and at least a portion of the slider and at least a portion of the shade support portion are disposed on a lateral side of the rod in a lateral direction along the rod.
