An electric window shade apparatus for a vehicle is proposed, the electric window shade apparatus being configured to receive power directly from a motor. An electric window shade apparatus for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a shade module configured to be unwound or wound automatically by a driving force so as to move with respect to a window glass; and a driving module providing the driving force to the shade module by an operation of a cable wound on at least one drum driven by a motor.

A blinding arrangement for shielding a vehicle front windshield. The blinding arrangement includes at least one blinding system which includes a cassette, a spannable blinding body which can be moved out of and into the cassette, a horizontal upper guide rail for guiding the spannable blinding body in a horizontal direction, and a cassette locking arrangement. The horizontal upper guide rail is fixedly mounted above the vehicle front windscreen. The cassette pivots within a cassette pivot plane between a horizontal non-use position in which the cassette is arranged parallel to the horizontal upper guide rail and a lowered use position in which the cassette is arranged perpendicular to the horizontal upper guide rail. The cassette locking arrangement locks the cassette in the horizontal non-use position.

A radiant heating and blocking shade system for a sunroof of a vehicle includes a first roller configured to be mounted adjacent to one end of a sunroof of a vehicle. A second roller is mounted adjacent to the first roller between the first roller and the sunroof. A radiant heating shade is at least partially wound around the first roller. The radiant heating shade has a deployed position and a retracted position. A blocking shade is at least partially wound around the second roller. The blocking shade has a deployed position and a retracted position. The blocking shade is arranged parallel to and spaced from the radiant heating shade between the radiant heating shade and the sunroof when the blocking shade and the radiant heating shade are in the deployed position.

Vehicle automatic window sunscreens are provided, which may comprise a plurality of roller shades for the windows of a vehicle. Sunscreens are installed for the side windows of the vehicle in addition to the windshield and rear window. The sunscreens block or filter radiant energy to reduce the effects of sunlight and heat on occupants and interior components of, and personal property in, the vehicle. The sunscreens protect infants and children if they are forgotten and left in the vehicle during sunny, hot days.

An apparatus for controlling a curtain of a vehicle includes a back seat monitor configured to provide an image of an occupant and a vehicle-mounted curtain configured to block out external light. An illumination sensor is configured to detect illumination of the external light. An occupant detecting sensor is configured to detect a boarding status of the occupant. A curtain actuator is configured to automatically control an operation of the vehicle-mounted curtain according to the boarding status of the occupant and a reference illumination value in an automatic mode and according to an operational status of the back seat monitor and the reference illumination value during a manual mode.

A sunshade assembly comprises a first and second movable sunshades and a drive assembly. The drive assembly comprises a first slider coupled to a first drive member through a first coupling and connected to the first sunshade, and a second slider attached to a second drive member and connected to the second sunshade. The first coupling can be uncoupled to drive the second slider while not driving the first slider. The first coupling includes a coupling member to couple and uncouple the coupling member from a counter member on the first slider by a movement of the coupling member. The coupling member of the first drive member arrives in a guide when the coupling member must be uncoupled from the counter member and is shaped to cause the movement of the coupling member when the first and second drive members move further to open or close the second sunshade.

A retractable overhead assembly for a vehicle having a retractable cover under tension and an integrated stiffening rod that includes attachment features 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.

A radiant heating and blocking shade system for a sunroof of a vehicle includes a first roller configured to be mounted adjacent to one end of a sunroof of a vehicle. A second roller is mounted adjacent to the first roller between the first roller and the sunroof. A radiant heating shade is at least partially wound around the first roller. The radiant heating shade has a deployed position and a retracted position. A blocking shade is at least partially wound around the second roller. The blocking shade has a deployed position and a retracted position. The blocking shade is arranged parallel to and spaced from the radiant heating shade between the radiant heating shade and the sunroof when the blocking shade and the radiant heating shade are in the deployed position.

A door curtain assembly having a sub-curtain unit is provided and includes a main fabric that is wound in a trim of a vehicle door; and a main shade bar that is installed in an upper end of the main fabric and fixed to a hook provided in the door when the main fabric is deployed. A sub-curtain part is additionally deployed after the main curtain part is deployed. The sub-curtain part includes a sub-housing having a first side hinge-coupled to the door and a second side interlocked with ascending or descending of the main shade bar. Additionally, a sub-fabric is wound in the sub-housing and a sub-shade bar is installed in an end portion of the sub-fabric in a length direction of the sub-housing.
