  • Patent number: 12233778
    Abstract: A transparent roof panel assembly for an opening in a vehicle roof comprises a panel having a transparent area that allows visible light to pass through between an exterior and an interior of the vehicle. A light source is arranged to provide light in the panel. An in-coupling element couples light into the panel from the interior side of the panel, the in-coupling element being attached to the interior side of the panel and redirecting light from the light source into the panel. The in-coupling element may be partly covered towards the interior of the vehicle, with the exception of a selected area, such that light is able to pass from the in-coupling element towards the interior through the selected area. The in-coupling element is attached to the interior side of the panel by an adhering material accommodated in a chamber formed between the in-coupling element and the panel.

  • Patent number: 12090827
    Abstract: A sunshade assembly comprises a first and second movable sunshades and a drive assembly. The drive assembly comprises a first slider coupled to a first drive member through a first coupling and connected to the first sunshade, and a second slider attached to a second drive member and connected to the second sunshade. The first coupling can be uncoupled to drive the second slider while not driving the first slider. The first coupling includes a coupling member to couple and uncouple the coupling member from a counter member on the first slider by a movement of the coupling member. The coupling member of the first drive member arrives in a guide when the coupling member must be uncoupled from the counter member and is shaped to cause the movement of the coupling member when the first and second drive members move further to open or close the second sunshade.
