Abstract
A window assembly for use in a vehicle that includes a window frame including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, a first frictional slide track, a second frictional slide track, an opaque shade selectively movable within the first frictional slide track, and a transparent shade selectively movable within the second frictional slide track. The first frictional slide track and the second frictional slide track are positioned such that the opaque shade and the transparent shade are both selectively retractable within, and selectively extendable from, the first end of the window frame.
Claims20
A window assembly for use in a vehicle, the window assembly comprising:
- a window frame comprising a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
- a first frictional slide track;
- a second frictional slide track;
- an opaque shade selectively movable within the first frictional slide track, the opaque shade having a first tab;
- and
- a transparent shade selectively movable within the second frictional slide track, the transparent shade having a second tab, wherein the first and second tabs are configured for selective integration to enable the opaque shade and the transparent shade to be drawn together from the first end.
A vehicle comprising:
- an exterior skin;
- an interior wall spaced a distance from the exterior skin;
- a window frame coupled to the interior wall, the window frame comprising a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
- a first frictional slide track positioned between the exterior skin and the interior wall;
- a second frictional slide track positioned between the exterior skin and the interior wall;
- an opaque shade selectively movable within the first frictional slide track;
- and
- a transparent shade selectively movable within the second frictional slide track, wherein the opaque shade and the transparent shade are are integrated such that the opaque shade is dependently retractable with the transparent shade, and such that the transparent shade is dependently extendable with the opaque shade.
