  • Patent number: 11691484
    Abstract: A sunshade curtain having a translocation function has a curtain mechanism and a translocation mechanism. The curtain mechanism has a retracting shaft tube and a curtain mounted in the retracting shaft tube. The retracting shaft tube is capable of being rotated frontward and rearward. The curtain is capable of being pulled to extend out for shading the rear-side window. The translocation mechanism is mounted between the retracting shaft tube and a vehicle side wall in a vehicle. When the curtain mechanism is folded, the translocation mechanism makes the retracting shaft tube located adjacent to a side edge of a forward side pillar of the vehicle. When the curtain mechanism is unfolded, the retracting shaft tube is capable of being operated to be deflected toward a back of a forward side pillar to a normal position in a vertical state.
