20100096889 | Sunroof Apparatus - A sunroof apparatus for opening or closing an opening formed on a fixed roof of an automobile includes: a movable front panel and a movable rear panel both provided in the fixed roof; a panel frame made of engineering plastic and attached around one of the panels; a hollow elastic weatherstrip attached around the panel frame attached around the one of the panels; a panel frame made of the engineering plastic and attached on a periphery end section of other one of the panels, the other one of the panels having a butt end section and the periphery end section; and a hollow elastic weatherstrip attached to the panel frame attached to the other one of the panels, wherein the opening is closed when the weatherstrip of the one of the panels and the butt end section of the other one of the panels butt against each other. This structure can enhance efficiency in molding weatherstrips since the weatherstrip attached around the two panels are in a hollow structure. | 04-22-2010 |
20100019545 | DEFLECTOR OF SLIDING ROOF - The present invention provides a deflector including a blade along a front edge of an opening of a fixed roof, movable upward and downward when the opening is opened and closed; a deflector arm whose one end is coupled to a frame on a vehicle body and whose other end is rotatably coupled to the blade via a first coupling shaft; a link arm whose one end is coupled to the frame on the vehicle body and whose other end is rotatably coupled to the blade via a second coupling shaft; and urging means for permanently urging a force to displace the blade upward. A cam member including first and second cam slots is provided on the frame on the vehicle body, a middle portion of the link arm is slidably engaged via a first pin with the first cam slot and one end of the link arm is slidably engaged via a second pin with the second cam slot, and the blade is housed in a laid down state with its upper portion displaced backward, and gradually stands up as displaced upward from a position where the blade is housed. | 01-28-2010 |
20090212603 | SLIDER STRUCTURE OF SUNROOF APPARATUS - According to a slider structure of a sunroof apparatus, the apparatus includes: a roof panel attached to an opening of a fixed roof; a panel support stay, where a cam groove is formed, is fixed to a side edge of the roof panel; and a slider that moves along a guide rail, is engaged with the cam groove through a pin, and tilts and slides the roof panel, wherein the slider structure includes: a pair of lifters that interpose the panel support stay, are divided, and are engaged with the cam groove through the pin; and a pair of slide shoes that are attached to the lifters, respectively, are connected with each other, integrate the lifters, and are slid on the guide rail. | 08-27-2009 |
20090127890 | SLIDING ROOF - The present invention provides a sliding roof for a vehicle including a plurality of roof panels separately mounted on an opening of a fixed roof of the vehicle in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, a guide frame attached at a lower portion of each side edge of the opening, and an anchor installed into the guide frame to engage with at least part of the roof panel, so as to assist open-close operations of the plurality of the roof panels in the vicinity of a closed state thereof. Sliding of sliders attached to the each guide frame allows the plurality of the roof panels to open or close in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle. The sliding roof for a vehicle further includes a guide member installed into the guide frame to guide a movement of engagement portions of the plurality of the roof panels adjacent in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The anchor and the guide member are installed into an identical groove formed on the guide frame. | 05-21-2009 |
20090072589 | Sunroof apparatus for vehicle - A vehicular sunroof apparatus includes a front panel, a rear panel, a linking rod, a rod-locking part, and a slider linking part. The linking rod is connected to a rear slider provided for opening the rear panel. The rod-locking part is disposed on a vehicle roof for locking a distal end of the linking rod when the rear panel is in a fully closed state. The slider linking part is provided on a front slider provided for opening/closing the front panel. The slider linking part is designed to engage with the distal end part and to release the distal end part from the locking engagement with the rod-locking part when the front slider moves from a fully closed position to a half-open position. | 03-19-2009 |
20090049750 | SAFETY DEVICE IN OPENING-CLOSING DEVICE OF A VEHICLE - A safety device in a closing-opening device of a vehicle which is provided with millimeter wave sensors as a detection device enables detecting an obstacle accurately for preventing a caught-in accident in advance caused by the closing-opening device. | 02-26-2009 |
20090039682 | Sunroof apparatus for vehicle - A vehicular sunroof apparatus in which a sunroof panel for opening and closing an opening in a vehicle roof has a front panel and a rear panel. The sunroof apparatus also includes a rear panel drive mechanism for effecting rising/lowering and opening/closing movements of the rear panel relative to the opening. A restricting part provided in the rear panel drive mechanism restricts a front end part of the rear panel from rising when a rear end part of the fully closed rear panel is lowered. | 02-12-2009 |
20080238154 | OUTER SLIDING SUNROOF APPARATUS - An outer sliding sunroof apparatus having a roof panel attached to an opening of a fixed roof of a vehicle, a drive device for opening and closing the roof panel, and a control unit for controlling the drive device includes a load detector for detecting load applied to the drive device when the roof panel in a closed state is tilted up and moved toward a rear of the vehicle, wherein when the load detector detects the load not less than a predetermined amount of load, the control unit is configured to move the roof panel in the closing direction. | 10-02-2008 |
