The invention relates to a method for operating an interactive visibility screen on a transparent pane of a pane device, in particular in a motor vehicle. The visibility screen is generated by means of a display unit of the pane device on the pane by pixel-wise fade-in of opaque image points, wherein the image points form a coherent visibility screen area. In the method, an operational action by the user is first detected by means of a detection device, which comprises a selection of a setting range and a movement relative to the pane. Subsequently, an expansion of the visibility screen area at the setting range is set as a function of the detected movement by means of a control device.

A roof system comprises a stationary part configured to be attached to a fixed roof and includes guide rails on opposite sides of a roof opening. The guide rails slidably support an operating mechanism for a panel and include guide grooves bordered by guide flanges. The operating mechanism includes a driving slide for a panel front support, and a panel rear support. The rear support is connected to a panel bracket guide of a panel bracket extending alongside a corresponding edge of the panel. The panel bracket guide slidably engages the rear support so as to enable the panel to slide with respect to the rear support when the front support is driven by the driving slide. The front support engages a guide rail groove of an upright flange of each guide rail while the panel bracket guide extends mainly on the other, inner side of said upright flange.

An apparatus for controlling an in-vehicle lighting environment includes: a passenger state determination unit that determines a state of a passenger using a gaze of the passenger photographed by a camera of a vehicle; a driving state determination unit that determines a driving state of the vehicle using an acceleration value measured by an acceleration sensor of the vehicle; an external environment state determination unit that determines an external environment state of the vehicle using an external illuminance value measured by an external illuminance sensor of the vehicle; and a lighting environment control unit that controls an illuminance and a color of a first light disposed inside the vehicle based on data determined by at least one determination unit among the passenger state, driving state, and external environment state determination units.

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.

An embodiment hook assembly for a door curtain to be installed on a door panel of a vehicle, the hook assembly includes a hook body installed to penetrate a through hole formed in the door panel, and a hook pin having an upper end hinge-connected to an upper portion of the hook body, wherein in a state in which an upper portion of the hook pin is completely inserted into the hook body, a part of the hook body is in an opened state and the hook body is locked to a circumference of the through hole such that the hook body is fastened to the through hole.

There is provided a door hatch assembly for an aperture in a screen door, the assembly including a substantially round rim mountable on a periphery of the aperture; a static member mounted in the rim and configured to cover at least a first portion of the aperture; and a hatch engaged with the static member and movable over the static member to reversibly cover at least a second portion of the aperture.

An awning assembly contains a frame and a frame cover attached to the frame. The frame is adapted to be removably fixed to an associated structure over a window or opening, such as on a recreational vehicle or camper, for example.

A vehicle window assembly is disclosed that includes a screen assembly mountable within an opening and a motor operable to move a movable window to engage the screen assembly and hold the screen assembly within the opening. A controller is provided that is configured to operate the motor to apply a desired force against the screen assembly with the movable window to hold the screen assembly within the opening.

An automobile with a construct and components with an appearance of an airplane. The back seats, and optionally the front seats, are bench style, with armrests that may be rotated out of position and located at opposing sides of the seat when the seat is a two-person bench. For a three-person bench, there are intermediate armrests. The airplane-type seats include headrests integrated into the seat rather than being extendible from the top of the seat. The bench seat is removably affixed to an underlying support substrate, which may be substantially hollow and arranged to enable access to storage within the support substrate. The interior of the automobile of the present invention includes controllable lighting and air located above the passenger's head, either directly or to the side above a window. An instrument and control panel that supplies the driver with information and control expected for an automobile is configured with the appearance and content of an instrument and control panel a pilot would expect to see in an airplane. Controls are positioned sufficiently close to the driver to be accessed and employed as needed. Wheels of the automobile of the present invention are designed to give the appearance of the stators or rotors of an airplane jet engine.

A thermal insulation device includes a film unit including inner and outer layers and a thermal insulation unit. The outer layer is mounted to a window of a vehicle. The inner layer has a peripheral portion connected sealingly to the outer layer, and a center portion spaced apart from and cooperating with the outer layer to define a thermal insulation space therebetween. The film unit is formed with inlet holes communicating with the thermal insulation space and a seating space of the vehicle, and outlet holes communicating with the thermal insulation space and open toward the bodyshell, such that air in the seating space flows into the thermal insulation space through the inlet holes and is discharged from the thermal insulation space toward the bodyshell through the outlet holes. The thermal insulation unit includes a heat insulation layer disposed on the outer layer.
