A shading device includes a retractable and deployable shading curtain that includes at least one shading layer and has a first longitudinal side and a second longitudinal side opposite to the first longitudinal side; a drawing device configured to deploy the shading curtain; and a first guide rail having a groove configured to receive and guide the first longitudinal side of the shading curtain. A deployed section of the first longitudinal side of the shading curtain is at least partially received in the groove when the shading curtain is in a partially or finally deployed state. The first longitudinal side has support members, by way of which the first longitudinal side is receivable and guidable in the groove.

A method of using an anti-ballistic protection system for protecting an interior space in a building. The ballistic barrier includes a laminated material having a plurality of layers of lightweight, flexible, ballistic resistant material such as woven sheets which are secured together into the laminate using a adhesive, heat weld, or stitching. The ballistic barrier in the deployed state is configured to be resistant to penetration by high-speed ballistic projectiles such as a bullet fired from a gun or a shrapnel from a bomb to protect the interior space, and can be used to protect windows, doors, hallways, and walls from penetration by the ballistic projectiles.

An automated sunshade assembly includes a cylinder positioned within a dashboard of a vehicle has the cylinder extending along a windshield of the vehicle. The cylinder has a slot extending into an interior of the cylinder and the slot being directed toward the windshield. A rod being rotatably disposed within the cylinder and a pair of drive units each of the drive units engages the rod for rotating the rod in a first direction or a second direction. A shield is rolled around the rod and the shield extends outwardly through the slot in the cylinder such that the shield is directed toward the windshield. The shield being driven upwardly to cover the windshield and the shield is retracted into the cylinder for storage. Furthermore, the shield is comprised of an opaque material to inhibit sunlight from passing into the vehicle from the windshield when the shield covers the windshield.

Sunscreen assembly for an open roof construction in a vehicle of the type includes a flexible sunscreen having a center part and two opposed longitudinal edges connected to the center part and folding lines along which the longitudinal edges fold inwardly and whereby the center part of the flexible sunscreen comprises at least one layer of cloth. The sunscreen assembly further comprises a rotatable winding shaft configured to wind and unwind the sunscreen at a first one of its transversal edges, two opposed longitudinal guides configured to receive therein and guide corresponding ones of the inwardly folded longitudinal edges of the sunscreen, and wherein the folding lines are formed substantially by at least one respective incision made in the center part of the sunscreen along which the longitudinal edges are folded inwardly.

A solar cell system integrated with window glass and a blind is provided. The solar cell system includes high-power solar cell system that has two types of solar cells that are configured to absorb light with different wavelength bands from each other and are coupled to a window glass and a blind, respectively. The solar cell system includes a first solar cell that is coupled to a window glass and a second solar cell that is coupled to a blind and configured to absorb light different in wavelength band from light absorbed by the first solar cell. The band gap energy of the first solar cell is greater than the band gap energy of the second solar cell to maximize generation of electrical energy. Additionally, the second solar cell is coupled to the blind installed to open and close to increase power without degrading transmittance of the window glass.

An automatic window shade assembly includes a plurality of shade units that is each integrated into a vehicle and is aligned with a respective one of a plurality of windows in the vehicle. Each of the shade units inhibits sunlight from passing into the vehicle when the shade units are deployed. Each of the shade units exposes the windows when the shade units are stored. Additionally, each of the shade units is in wireless communication with a personal electronic device to remotely control each of the shade units. A heating unit is integrated into a respective shade unit to defrost a windshield in the vehicle. A control is integrated into the vehicle for controlling operational parameters of the heating unit and each of the shade units.

The vehicle sunshade is adapted for use as a sunshade within a vehicle. The vehicle sunshade is a retractable shade that is mounted in the vehicle where front windshield meets the roof of the vehicle. The shade contained on the retractable shade is adapted to fit around the rearview mirror mounted on the windshield of the vehicle and to extend laterally to partially block sunlight from passing through the front windows. The vehicle sunshade comprises a roller, a shade, a first clip, and a second clip.

There are provided various implementations of a solar shade for covering a transmissive panel such as a window, door, sunroof or skylight of a vehicle, building, or home. Such a solar shade includes a photovoltaic sheet, which may be a flexible sheet. The solar shade is configured to absorb heat produced due to sunlight transmitted through the transmissive panel and impinging on the solar shade. The photovoltaic sheet is configured to generate an electrical current using the sunlight.

A luminous curtain device has a luminous curtain, a side member, and a luminous module. The side member is mounted on a side of the luminous curtain. The luminous module is mounted in the side member, and projects light on ends of optical fibers of the luminous curtain. The luminous curtain device is applied on sunlight-shading products for an automobile to shade sunlight. The luminous module can project light on the luminous curtain to make the luminous curtain luminous with a decorative effect.

A roller sunshade device suppressing the drooping of both end portions in a width direction of a shad. The roller sunshade device includes an extendable and retractable shade, and a tension providing unit providing greater tension to both end portions in the width direction of the shade than to a center portion thereof. The roller sunshade device also includes a handle member including a support portion supporting a distal end portion of the shade, wherein at least one of the support portion of the handle member and the distal end portion of the shade is curved prior to assembly thereof, and when the distal end portion of the shade is assembled to the support portion of the handle member, greater tension is provided to the both end portions in the width direction of the shade than to the center portion thereof.
