  • Patent number: 9797160
    Abstract: A pull holder of a covering curtain has an annular handle, an enclosed hole surrounded by the handle, a pivot cover, and a torsion spring. The pivot cover is pivotally connected to the handle via a pivot rod portion. The pivot rod portion has a pivot rod and a position restricting flange radially formed on the pivot rod and disposed between a first pivot portion and a supporting portion of the handle and next to the supporting portion. The torsion spring is mounted around the pivot rod and disposed between the supporting portion and a connecting portion of the handle. Thus, the pivot rod of the pivot rod portion of the pivot cover does not axially slide relative to the handle. Accordingly, the pull holder does not disassemble and can be operated stably.

  • Patent number: 9777534
    Abstract: A cover opening device of an electric sunshade for a side window is provided for connecting between a base and a protecting cover of the electric sunshade and connecting with a curtain support rod. The cover opening device operates by the curtain support rod mounted with a driving element passing through a pedestal, a linkage rod part connected with an abutted part connecting with the protecting cover to move the abutted part downward by a press of the driving element and to pivot the protecting cover for covering a groove by the linkage rod part, and an elastic element providing resilience force for opening the protecting cover. The cover opening device has a mechanism that opens the protecting cover beforehand and closes the protecting cover afterwards, thereby preventing the curtain from colliding with the protecting cover when the curtain is extending out and rolling up.

  • 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.
