Abstract: A retractable window shade comprises at least one spool assembly and at least one track assembly. The spool assembly includes a spool having film windable thereupon with opposing film edges. The film edges have a series of spaced perforations extending therealong. The spool assembly further comprises a motor and clutch assembly configured to rotatably couple the motor to the spool. The track assembly is oriented laterally outwardly relative to the spool assembly and includes a drive chain that is engaged to a sprocket which is coupled to the motor. The drive chain is configured to the engage the perforations of the film for extending and retracting the film during activation of the motor.

Abstract: A windshield covering system includes a pair of tracks. Each of the tracks is attached to a roof of a vehicle. The tracks are each positioned adjacent to one of a pair of lateral sides of the roof and each extends along one of a pair of lateral edge of a windshield of the vehicle. A panel has a pair of side edges. Each of the side edges is positioned in one of the tracks. The panel is selectively positioned in a stored position over the roof or in an extended position extending downwardly over the windshield.

Abstract: A stowable partition assembly for a truck cab provides privacy for an interior sleeping area mounted aft of the operator space. The assembly has an overhead track depending from the cab ceiling, oriented to define a border between the forward operator area and the aft interior sleeping area. A pair of curtains are hung from their upper edges from the overhead track and are positionable on the track to divide the aft living space from the forward operator space when extended. A pair of stowage compartments are located at each end of the track along the interior sides of the truck cab to receive the curtain when retracted. Retraction of the curtains is provided by roll up retractors disposed in each stowage compartment. The curtains are each attached along one of two vertical edges to the roll up retractor to be wound thereon. An interlocking latch provides closure of the curtains when pulled from the stowage compartments.

Abstract: A combination of a window shading device and a rigid window frame of a motor vehicle windshield is provided. The windshield is supported in a rigid window frame. The combination includes a cover disposed over a portion of the rigid window frame to provide a pleasing aesthetic appearance to an interior portion of the motor vehicle. The invention includes a shade wound onto a winding core, where the shade includes one free end and one fixed end adhered to the winding core. The winding core is swivelly mounted between the rigid window frame and the cover. The cover provides a slotted opening, preferably carved through its surface, for receiving the free end of the shade. The shade has a surface area which can substantially cover a selected surface area of the windshield.
