Claims

1. A sunshade device suitable for a rear door window of an automobile, comprising: a sunshade screen wound on a winding roll biased by an elastic member in a frame;a sunshade screen rod having fastened thereto an end of the sunshade screen;a telescopic bar and an actuation arm connected to respective ends of the sunshade screen rod; anda driving mechanism assembly for extending and retracting the telescopic bar and erecting and tilting the actuation arm and for raising and lowering the telescopic bar and the actuation arm.

2. The sunshade device as set forth in claim 1, wherein a driving cable of the telescopic bar which is connected to one end of the sunshade screen rod has formed thereon helical gear teeth which are directly meshed with a worm wheel secured to an output shaft rotated by a driving motor in the driving mechanism assembly.

3. The sunshade device as set forth in claim 1, wherein an upper end of the actuation arm which is connected to the other end of the sunshade screen rod is pivoted by a pivot pin, a lower end of the actuation arm is pivoted by a pivot pin to a slider which is movably fitted into the frame, a cable drum which has winding grooves is secured to the output shaft of the driving mechanism assembly, first ends of power transmission cables are connected to respective ends of the slider, and second ends of the power transmission cables are coupled to the cable drum and are wound in the winding grooves of the cable drum in opposite directions, so that the actuation arm can be erected or tilted when the output shaft is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise.
