LOCKING SUNSHADE SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a slidable sunshade with a mechanism reducing or disenabling frictional contact between the side tracks within which the side edge parts of the sunshade slide. SOLUTION: In a disclosed embodiment, the interior sliding sunshade 10 portion of a 'moon roof 12' of a vehicle 14 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 10 is provided with a spring-biased cam locking system that reduces the frictional contact between the edge parts of the sunshade 10 and the side tracks 16 and 17 within which they slide when a vehicle operator manually slides the sunshade 10 to the open or closed position. The improved system further includes a mechanism for engaging and opening the overhead sunshade automatically when a corresponding overhead window is opened.
