Abstract: A device for screening vehicle windows has drive, a carrier turnable by the drive about a turning axis, and a plurality of elongated screening elements which are turnable by the carrier between a closed position in which all the elongated screening elements are coextensive with one another and an open position in which the elongated screening elements are displaced relative one another to form a fan-like screen, the carrier having at least one pin which is spaced from the turning axis, the elongated screening elements having at least one substantially arcuate slot formed around the turning axis so that the pin can extend through all the slots of the elongated screening elements, the slots of the elongated screening elements having different arcuate length so that in the open position the screening elements are located at different angles from the closed position.
