Patent number: 9514898Abstract: A switch device for a sunroof includes: a glass switch piece, which is switchable between glass opening positions and a glass closing position, which are for selecting whether to open or close the opening of a sunroof with a roof glass; and a shade switch piece, which is switchable between a shade opening position and a shade closing shade positions, which are for selecting whether to open or close the opening with of a roof shade. The shade closing positions include a first closing position and a second closing position. The switch device is provided with an interlocking portion, which links the glass switch piece to the shade switch piece so that the glass switch piece is moved into the glass closing position when the shade switch piece is moved to the second closed position.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2012Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignees: Toyota Shatai Kabushiki Kaisha, Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takahiro Fukamizu, Hideki Fuchigami, Takeshi Iwai, Shohei Kobata

Patent number: 9493058Abstract: A sunroof drain device includes a drain portion that includes a bottom wall, a first side wall that rises up in the height direction of the vehicle from an edge end of the bottom wall that is positioned on a side near the opening, and a second side wall that rises up higher than the first side wall in the height direction of the vehicle from an edge end of the bottom wall that is positioned on a side away from the opening. The sunroof drain device also includes a sawtooth-shaped portion that is provided protruding upward in the height direction of the vehicle on the bottom wall so as to extend along the boundary portion, with a surface that is on the side away from the opening being more gradually inclined than a surface that is on the side near the opening.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2015Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignees: Aisin Seiki Kabushiki Kaisha, Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kiyozumi Fukami, Yuya Aoki, Shohei Kobata, Akira Matsuura, Sumio Sakaguchi, Toshihisa Tanaka
