Abstract: A window vent system including a window vent having a unitary, one-piece panel body including a first panel portion and a second panel portion oriented generally parallel to the first panel portion. The first panel portion has a set of openings formed therein and the second panel portion has a set of openings formed therein. Each opening of the second panel portion is at least partially aligned with an opening of the first panel portion.

Abstract: A vehicle window vent is shaped and sized to fit in the opening left when the vehicle window is lowered or retracted. The vent fits in the opening, and its edges are captured by channels that hold the window when the window is closed. Along one edge, the vent comprises a channel, similar to the window-opening channel, so that the vent can accept an edge of the window. Thus, when the window is opened and then partially closed on the vent, the window and vent together are held securely in the window opening. The vent comprises louvered openings to allow air in and out of the vehicle. The openings may be covered with screen or mesh to prevent insects from entering the vehicle. Other features may be provided as well. An efficient method for manufacturing the vents is also described and claimed.

Abstract: A door assembly includes a door frame, a weather strip, and a window glass. The door frame defining a window opening. The weather strip is coupled to the door frame along a portion of the window opening. The weather strip includes an inner flange, an outer flange, and a base that defines a cavity. The inner flange includes a plurality of inner apertures and the outer flange includes a plurality of outer apertures. The window glass is movably coupled to the door frame between a closed position and a vent position. In the closed position the window glass is engaged within the cavity between the plurality of inner apertures and the plurality of outer apertures to inhibit ventilation of air through the weather strip. In the vent position an upper edge of the window glass is engaged within the cavity to permit ventilation of air through the weather strip.

Abstract: Embodiments of a window visor which can be attached to a vehicle to at least partially cover a window of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the window visor can contain a series of grooves on its outer surface which can direct droplets of water so that they do not collect on the window.

Abstract: A solar powered heat-dissipating device used on a car window is configured to straddle on a side window glass of a car and includes a straddling base, two wind-generating units and a solar cell panel. The straddling base straddles on an upper edge of the side window glass. The interior of the straddling base has two separated air channels for allowing air to flow inward and outward of the car respectively. The two wind-generating units are provided in the two air channels respectively. The flowing directions of the airflows respectively generated by the two wind-generating units are opposite to each other. The solar cell panel is disposed on the straddling base to protrude out of the car. The solar cell panel is pivotally connected to the straddling base and rotatable relative to the straddling base for adjusting its inclination angle.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing convenience services to a stationary vehicle independent of the vehicle's electrical system. At least one conduit is attached to a housing for transferring the services to a supply panel. The supply panel includes a face on which the various controls and connectors associated with the supplied convenience services, such as heating, cooling, electrical power, compressed air, computer network communications, telephone, video, and television, are disposed. The supply panel is dimensioned to interface with the stationary vehicle through an opening in the vehicle, such as a window or service door, and includes means for providing a substantially airtight seal for climate control.

Abstract: The cabin exhaust device ventilates vehicles provided with retractable windows and mounts on a portion of the vehicle, preferably on a door frame or in an opening between a window panel and a window frame. The cabin exhaust device comprises a squeegee and a ventilation panel having an air dam, a first portion, and a second portion, wherein the first and second portions are provided with angularly oriented apertures, thereby creating a vacuum on the vehicle's interior side. The first and second portions are outwardly convexed, thereby facilitating the creation of a pressure differential between the vehicle's interior and its exterior, thus forcing the air and other contaminants out from the vehicle's interior.

Abstract: A side visor with a ventilation function for a car, comprising: a side visor body (10) having an upper portion attached to a car body (1) and having a lower portion incurved toward a window glass (6) and provided with an airflow hole (12), when the side visor body (10) is seen in cross-sectional view; a filter casing (15) including a filter (21) and having airflow holes (15a, 15b), the filter casing (15) being attached to the lower portion and moored to the side visor body (10) through a strap (16); and a rubber packing (22) extending on a side of the filter casing (15) facing the window glass (6) so that the rubber packing (22) abuts against the window glass (6); whereby when the window glass (6) is moved down, ventilation between inside and outside of the car is ensured through the first and second airflow holes (12, 15a, 15b) and the filter (21), while dust, insects, etc. outside the car are prevented from intruding into the car.

Abstract: The invention relates to a safety ventilating panel for use in vehicles provided with retractable windows mounted in a window frame. The safety panel is mounted on top of a window panel, and a sealing gasket attached to the bottom edge of the safety panel receives a top edge of a slightly retracted window. The safety panel is provided with a plurality of angularly oriented openings to allow creation of vacuum on the interior side of the vehicle. An outwardly convex panel body facilitates creation of a pressure differential for a more effective airflow from the interior of the vehicle. A safety flange secured on the interior side of the safety panel extends upwardly and inwardly in relation to the safety panel body to prevent intrusion into the vehicle by unauthorized persons.

Abstract: A road side airconditioning and/or heating facility in, or adjacent, a parking bay for a vehicle, including and supporting, in use, an airconditioning unit and/or heating unit, or reverse cycle unit (11), relative to the vehicle and for temporary association with the vehicle, and having a flexible supply duct (14a) and a flexible return duct (14b), and having means (15) to, in use, associate the ducts with the interior of the cabin of the vehicle, whereby conditioned and/or heated air may be supplied to the cabin of the vehicle. The unit (11) is supported on a pillar (19) via a pulley arrangement (22) to allow the unit to be raised and lowered relative to the vehicle, and an arm arrangement (20) pivotable in a horizontal plane to allow lateral adjustment of the unit into and out of the parking bay.

Abstract: A visor attachable above a side window of a vehicle with a portion curving and extending outwardly and in accordance with the configuration of the forward and top edges of the window opening to shield and deflect rain, snow and noise from entering the passenger compartment through a partially opened window and a wall forming a recessed area in a portion of the visor to reduce air pressure therein as the vehicle travels forward, the wall also forming an inner pocket on the inside of the visor and the wall provided with a plurality of spaced apart small round holes extending through the wall to cause a venturi effect which ventilates stale air from the passenger compartment through the round holes. A rib extends generally horizontally from the wall and divides the depression into two parallel low pressure channels and an outwardly projecting lip is formed along the outward edge of the visor.

Abstract: A ventilator-glare screen unit adapted to be fit in an automotive window opening, having controllably opened vent hole groupings and an inner glare screen able to be moved from a raised to a lowered position. A wedge-shaped extension piece attached to a forward edge is fit to an angled front window glass edge. A slidable control panel allows different vent hole groupings to be opened or blocked. A hood minimizes entry of rain, etc. into the opened vent holes.
