  • Patent number: 9644423
    Abstract: A roll control device of a vehicle curtain is mounted on a receiving housing and is connected to a curtain rod for wrapping a curtain fabric. The roll control device has a cover, a gear set mounted in the cover, and a one-way transmission assembly and a damping member respectively mounted on a first gear and a second gear of the gear set. The damping member provides rotational resistance to the first gear. When expanding the curtain fabric, with the one-way transmission assembly, the curtain fabric can be easily drawn. When retracting the curtain fabric, with the torsional resistance, the curtain fabric can be smoothly and gently wrapped on the curtain rod without causing noise and excessive vibration.

  • Publication number: 20170087966
    Abstract: A guide block has a guide projection wall and a guide upper wall. The guide projection wall deviates from an end of a side-held portion in the folded-back state toward the start point of folding-back while moving toward a winding shaft along the longitudinal direction of a guide rail. The guide upper wall deviates in the direction orthogonal to a plane in which a shading sheet is unrolled and toward the shading sheet and abuts on the side-held portion being unfolded while moving toward the winding shaft along the longitudinal direction of the guide rail.

  • Patent number: 9506291
    Abstract: An automatic reset device for curtain pull bar is fixed on a rod of a curtain fabric and comprises a fixed base, a pull bar having a handle, and a torsion-supplying element. One end of a rotation axis of the pull bar is located at the fixed base, and the pull bar can be rotated relative to the fixed base. The torsion-supplying element that preserves torsion is connected between the pull bar and the fixed base. When the curtain fabric is furled and the pull bar is released, the pull bar is automatically rotated and reset by the preserved torsion force of the torsion-supplying element. The handle of the pull bar will not collide with the door trim of a vehicle, and the abutting pressure forced against the door trim by the handle of the pull bar can be efficiently controlled.

  • Patent number: 9410599
    Abstract: A roll control device for a vehicle curtain has a unidirectional transmission device and a damping assembly. The unidirectional transmission device has a gear base, multiple planet gears and a transmission wheel. The gear base has a connecting segment, a driving segment formed on a side of the connecting segment and an axle. The driving segment has multiple receiving recesses and multiple limiting segments. The planet gears are mounted rotatably and slidably in the receiving recesses respectively and are selectively limited by the limiting segments respectively to rotate with the gear base. The transmission wheel is rotatably combined with the gear base, encloses the planet gears and has a transmission gear. The damping assembly is connected with the unidirectional transmission device and has a driven gear and a damper. The driven gear engages the transmission gear on the transmission wheel. The damper is connected with the driven gear.

  • Publication number: 20150328965
    Abstract: An extension assembly for a sidebar of a sunshade is mounted on a mounting ends of a movable sidebar and has a mounting seat, a sliding cover, at least one linkage, and a connector. The movable sidebar is attached to an end edge of a shading cloth of a sunshade. With the at least one linkage pivotally connected to the mounting seat and the sliding cover, the at least one linkage can pivot and sway to allow the sliding cover being raised and then lowered to selectively extend toward the outer end portion of the mounting seat and be folded on the mounting seat. Thus, frictional resistance between the mounting seat and the sliding cover is avoided. Moreover, no noises would occur when the at least one linkage and the sliding cover pivot and sway relative to the mounting seat.

  • Patent number: 9186959
    Abstract: A sunshade assembly for installation on a window frame includes a curtain, a bar connected to the curtain, a pivot connection member disposed inside the bar, an abutment member disposed inside the pivot connection member, a transmission rod extending into the pivot connection member to engage the abutment member, and a drive unit driving the transmission rod to move. When the drive unit drives the transmission rod to move upward, the transmission rod pushes upward the abutment member to move upward the bar and to thereby stretch the curtain. When the bar abuts against the window frame, the transmission rod is not deformed.
