Publication number: 20240116335Abstract: An anti-lift sunroof structure is provided, which can be opened and closed on an opening of a vehicle roof. The anti-lift sunroof structure includes a glass panel, a window frame, and a support element. The window frame includes a front frame bar, two side frame bars, and a rear frame bar. Two ends of each side frame bar are respectively connected to the front frame bar and the rear frame bar to form a mounting groove for installation of the glass panel. The support element is arranged corresponding to the front frame bar and includes a stop plate extended away from the rear frame bar. When the anti-lift sunroof structure is in a close position, the stop plate is located under the vehicle roof. Accordingly, sealing capability is prevented from being affected by excessive outward suction from a pressure difference when the vehicle is running at high speed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Tzu-Heng CHIU, Yi-Jen LAN, Karim DAYOUB, Chris.

Patent number: 7267390Abstract: A vehicle decklid system uses a planetary gear drive to move a decklid relative to a vehicle body. The planetary gear drive includes a rotatable gear that is disposed between two fixed gears. One fixed gear is rigidly mounted to the decklid and one fixed gear is rigidly mounted to the vehicle body. A rotating link connects centers of the rotatable gear and two fixed gears. The combination of the planetary gear drive and rotating link make it possible to provide powered complex, two-dimensional motion of the decklid requiring a four-bar linkage.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2005Date of Patent: September 11, 2007Assignee: AVM, Inc.Inventors: Chihping Kuan, Joseph Benjamin Saxon, Shelley Lynn Bolbrugge, Adam Kyle Cramton, Enrico Fin, Jack R.
