  • Patent number: 9126473
    Abstract: A window shade device includes a windup device that winds up a window shade to be drawn/housed, a guide and support mechanism that includes a guide rail including a guide path and a movable member configured to move along the guide rail, and an arm that is coupled to the window shade and is supported by the movable member so as to change its posture. A first gear is provided to the arm, and a second gear is provided to at least a part of the guide path. A deceleration gear mechanism configured to mesh with the first gear and the second gear decelerates and transfers the rotational movement upon meshing with the second gear as the rotational movement for causing the arm to change its posture upon meshing with the first gear.

  • Patent number: 8939189
    Abstract: A window shade device for vehicles covers a first window and a second window provided adjacent to each other to be shielded and opened. The window shade device for vehicles includes: a guide and support mechanism including a guide rail disposed along a drawing/housing direction of the second window shade and a movable member movable along the guide rail; a rack member connected with the movable member and configured to move along the guide rail; and an intermediate transmission mechanism including a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear and transmitting the rotation of a windup shaft member of the first windup device as a force for moving the rack member along the guide rail, the first bevel gear being connected to the windup shaft member so as to rotate in association therewith, the second bevel gear being disposed to mesh with the first bevel gear.

  • Publication number: 20120247694
    Abstract: A vehicle window shade device includes: a window shade; a windup device winding up the window shade; a stay attached to a tip side of the window shade; a frame including a drawing slit for the window shade; a cover provided in the drawing slit to be opened and closed; and a biasing member biasing the cover toward an open direction. The action of the stay attached to the window shade wound up by the windup device is transmitted by the transmission member as the force in the direction in which the cover is closed. At least one of the cover, the stay and the transmission member includes a difference absorbing mechanism installed therein, the difference absorbing mechanism absorbing a difference between an action of the stay and an action of the cover.

  • Publication number: 20120193044
    Abstract: A window shade device for vehicles includes a horizontally shielding window shade, a windup device winding up this, a guide and support mechanism supporting a horizontally shielding movable member so as to move along a guide path, and an arm supported by the horizontally shielding movable member so as to change a position thereof between a first position and a second position. The arm is connected to the horizontally shielding window shade. A first gear is provided to the arm, and a second gear is provided to the guide path by the guide and support mechanism. In the middle of the process where the horizontally shielding movable member is being directed toward the drawing direction side, the first gear and the second gear mesh with each other, and accordingly the position of the arm is changed from the first position to the second position.

  • Publication number: 20120048483
    Abstract: Included are a windup device, a shade attached to the windup device so as to be drawn therefrom and housed therein, a stay attached to a drawing-side edge of the shade, a pair of runners respectively connected to both ends of the stay via first connecting parts, and a pair of guide rails respectively supporting the pair of runners in a movable manner. The first connecting part connects the stay and each of the runners so as to rotate relative to each other in such a manner that each of the guide rails is folded in a direction to approach the windup device.
