A sunshade device includes: a roll shade having a shade; a rod provided in a front end portion of the shade; two guide rails each configured to guide the shade; two first sliding members each having a slider attached to a corresponding one of opposite ends of the rod and guided by a corresponding one of the guide rails; and two second sliding members each having a shade support portion configured to support a shade corner portion and guided by a corresponding one of the guide rails, wherein the slider and the shade support portion are arranged in a direction crossing an advancing and retreating direction of the shade, and at least a portion of the slider and at least a portion of the shade support portion are disposed on a lateral side of the rod in a lateral direction along the rod.

Sunshade device

A panel retention structure includes a retention member including a head portion, a neck portion and a flange portion being provided in the aforementioned order from an end of the retention member. The neck portion includes a dimension which is set smaller than a dimension of a first hole and a dimension of a second hole, and passes through the first hole and the second hole. The head portion is in contact with a confronting surface serving as a surface of a retention wall facing a panel body in one of a state where the head portion is elastically in contact with the panel body, and a state where an elastic wall being elastically in contact with an opposing surface serving as a surface of the retention wall which opposes the panel body is provided.

Panel retention structure

A moving device includes: a moving body; guide rails extending in a moving direction of the moving body on both sides in one direction orthogonal to the moving direction and each of which has first and second guides mutually symmetrical in the one direction, and a third guide interposed between the first and second guides; connecting portions provided at both-side end portions of the moving body in the one direction and mutually symmetrical in the one direction; first and second shoes respectively mounted on the connecting portions, sliding the first and third guides and the second and third guides, and having the same shape; first and second drive belts respectively connected to the first and second shoes in the first and second guides to be integrally moved and moving and driving the first and second shoes.

Moving device

A sunshade apparatus includes: a light blocking sheet to block light at an opening of a vehicle and open the opening; a winding member to which a first edge of the sheet is fixed and which is capable of winding and unwinding the sheet; turning members disposed on both sides of the opening in the width direction; a single rope member adjustably engaged with a second edge of the sheet in the operating direction, extending from both end portions of the second edge respectively toward the light-blocking side in the operating direction, and turning at both of the turning members respectively toward the opening side in the operating direction, and whose both side terminals are respectively fixed to both end portions of the winding member to be capable of being wound and unwound by the winding member; and an urging member to urge the winding member to rotate.

Sunshade apparatus

A sunshade apparatus for a vehicle includes a shading sheet, which opens and closes a light transmitting portion of a vehicle roof, a pair of holding members, which retain the shading sheet, a winding member, which winds the shading sheet and the holding members. The shading sheet is retained at edge portions of the shading sheet, which extend in the shading sheet opening-closing directions by the holding members. The holding members are retained to the winding member in a manner so that winding in at one end in turn winds off the other end and movement direction thereof is reversed at a direction change member positioned at a distance from the winding member in the shading sheet opening-closing directions and the winding member includes a biasing member, which balances tensional force acting in the shading sheet opening-closing directions at one end and the other end of each holding member.

Sunshade apparatus for vehicle

A sunshade for a vehicle includes a plastic panel configuring a part of a roof of the vehicle and including a translucent portion, a shading sheet for unshading and shading the translucent portion, a pair of guide rails, which are fixed to the panel to face each other and extend in an opening-and-closing direction of the sheet to hold the sheet in a manner permitting the sheet to be opened and closed, a roll-up member for rolling up the sheet, a frame, which extends in a facing direction of the rails, that links the rails and holds the roll-up member, an elongated hole, which is formed in end portions of the frame and extends in the facing direction, and an engaging member inserted into the hole. The engaging member engages with the rails and the frame to permit relative movement of the rails and the frame in the facing direction.
