Locking sunshade system

摘要

In a disclosed embodiment, the interior sliding sunshade portion of a "moon roof" of a vehicle is provided with an improved system for locking an overhead sunshade in an open or closed position while allowing it to slide relatively freely during sliding movement. The sunshade is provided with a spring-biased cam locking system that reduces frictional contact between the edges of the sunshade and the side tracks within which it slides when the vehicle operator manually slides the sunshade to an open or closed position. The improved system further includes a mechanism for engaging and opening the overhead sunshade automatically when the corresponding overhead window is opened.
