Abstract: A vehicle body window regulator of the disclosure incorporates a toggle linkage that is selectively moved between extended and overlapping positions to maintain a window in open or closed positions. The toggle linkage includes a pair of links that are pivotally connected to each other about a first axis, with one of the links pivoted about a second axis to a control member connected to the window, and with the other link selectively driven on a frame of the regulator about a third axis for movement that positions the linkage in either its extended or overlapping position. The first axis moves across a line between the second and third axes as the linkage is moved to either the overlapping or extended position, and the linkage then engages a frame stop to cause a locking action that prevents window movement due to forces applied directly to the window. A one-way clutch preferably drives the linkage and positions the window in partially open positions.

Abstract: A vehicle sun shield of the disclosure includes a planar support and a planar sun visor that are pivotally interconnected along hinge edges thereof by a friction hinge. The planar support has a triangular shape with one vertex thereof opposite its hinge edge pivotally mounted on the lower side of a vehicle roof above the area occupied by a driver or a front seat passenger. Side edges of the triangular support extend between its pivotally supported vertex and the opposite ends of its hinge edge. The planar sun visor is made from opaque material with its hinge edge of the same length as the hinge edge of the support. A pair of side edges of the sun visor extend from its hinge edge and respectively meet with the side edges of the support at a pair of spaced junctions. The mounting of the sun visor allows it to be positioned to shield a front seat occupant from the sun in any frontal or side direction.
