Abstract: A windshield assembly includes a lower panel section pivotally connected to an upper panel section. The assembly is movable between an extended position, in which both sections are fully extended and substantially co-planar, and a pivoted position, in which the upper section is pivoted down to rest on top of the lower section. A pair of magnets are positioned on the upper section proximate the top edge of the upper section, and a second pair of complementary magnets or members made of a material that is magnetically attracted to the first pair of magnets are positioned on the lower section proximate the bottom edge of the lower section. When in the pivoted position, the magnets on the upper section engage the lower section magnets, thereby keeping the upper section secured on the lower section and preventing unwanted movement of the upper section as the golf car travels.

Abstract: A folding windshield assembly (1) for a vehicle, such as a golf cart (11), that folds against a roof (15) of the vehicle when not in use. The windshield assembly comprises a bottom panel (2) and a top panel (3). A top edge (4) of the bottom panel is attached to a bottom edge (5) of the top panel by a hinge (6). Bottom corners (7) on side edges (17) of the bottom panel are slideably and pivotally attached to tracks (8) and front posts (9) of a upper structure (10) of a vehicle. Top corners (12) on side edges (18) of the top panel are pivotally attached to the front vertical posts of the upper structure. Gas springs (13) are mounted to the top panel and the front posts to assist with folding the windshield assembly up and down.

Abstract: A foldable windshield assembly comprises upper and lower pillar supports, upper and lower windshield members connected thereto, and a hinge disposed between the upper and lower pillar supports. The hinge comprises a first connector rigidly connected to one pillar support, a second connector slidably connected within the other pillar support, and a pivot member pivotally connected to one of the connectors by a pivot connector defining a pivot axis and rigidly connected to the other of the connectors, the pivot member received within a pillar support associated with the second connector. The pivot axis intersects one of the pillar supports to maintain the upper windshield member in a use position, and the upper windshield member is moveable between use and folded positions by separating the upper pillar from the lower pillar to reveal the pivot connector and folding the upper windshield member over the lower windshield member.

Abstract: A window assembly cooperating with a window frame on a golf car cooperating with a window frame on a golf car can include a first window pane that is selectively coupled to the window frame. A second window pane can be selectively coupled to the window frame and offset from the first window pane. A first pair of retaining members can be arranged on the window frame in an installed position and movable between a retaining position wherein the retaining members retain the first window pane in an upright position and a release position wherein the retaining members are disengaged from the first window pane. Each of the first pair of retaining members are defined by a rigid frame having an integrally molded elastomeric body.

Abstract: A window assembly cooperating with a window frame on a golf car includes a first window pane selectively coupled to the window frame. A second window pane is selectively coupled to the window frame and offset from the first window pane. An intermediate window pane is arranged between the first and second window panes and is movable between an upright position wherein the first, second and intermediate window panes collectively define a transparent barrier at the window frame and a collapsed position wherein the intermediate window pane is moved to a position alongside the second window pane thereby defining a passage at the window frame between the first and second window panes.

Abstract: A foldable windshield assembly includes a windshield support having opposing pairs of upper and lower pillar supports, an upper windshield member connected to the upper pillar supports, and a lower windshield member connected to the lower pillar supports. A hinge is disposed between the opposing pairs of upper and lower pillar supports. The hinge includes a first connector adapted to be rigidly connected to one of the upper or lower pillar supports, a second connector adapted to be slidably connected within the other of the upper or lower pillar supports, and a knuckle having ends pivotally connected to the first connector and the second connector and adapted to be received within one of the upper or lower pillar supports associated with the second connector.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multilayer molded article comprising a thermoplastic resin substrate and at least two kinds of skin materials laminated on a surface of the substrate, the at least two kinds of skin materials including a pair of skin materials adjacent to each other wherein the pair of skin materials are folded toward the substrate to have folded edges which separate the substrate at least partly to define two portions, wherein the separated portions of the substrate are combined together via a plurality of ribs of the thermoplastic resin molded integrally with the substrate, the ribs enclosing therein a part of the folded edges of the pair of skin materials.

Abstract: The canopy has a front and rear frame coupled to a top frame such that the lower edges of the front and rear frames are forward and rearward respectively of the top frame. The front frame has an upper window pane coupled thereto and a lower window pane having its upper edge pivotally coupled to the front frame. A window pane also is provided for the rear frame. Two pairs of flexible windows are provided for the two sides of the canopy. Two seat belt members are connected to the rear frame.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a golf cart windshield assembly that comprises two windshield panels with one windshield panel being movable from a closed position to an open position. Secured to the movable windshield panel is a pair of plastic-like resilient post clamps that clamp and secure the movable windshield panel to a pair of laterally spaced front support posts forming a part of a conventional golf cart. Secured to the other windshield panel is a resilient plastic-like holding clip that is designed to receive and retain a bent edge portion of the movable windshield panel when the movable windshield panel is in the open position.
