  • Patent number: 7731461
    Abstract: A load-bearing rail is provided for the cargo space of a motor vehicle, which is used for accommodating a load-bearing eyelet that can be guided therein in a movable and lockable manner. To provide a load-bearing rail for the cargo space of a motor vehicle, which may assume additional functions in order to both keep the weight low and to reduce the number of parts and thus to lower the cost of production, the load-bearing rail is provided with a bracket, which sticks out laterally and which serves as a support for a floor of the cargo space.

  • Patent number: 7316440
    Abstract: A protective device for a motor vehicle luggage area has a flexible flat article, which is movably mounted between a compact, deposited protection position and at least one extracted protection position. There are at least two parallel, spaced functional shafts to which the flat article is connected. The position of the flat article is detected and a controller, as a function of the detected position, controls the functional shafts in such a way that the flat article in a first, roughly horizontally extracted protection position has a first, light-proof surface structural portion and in a second, vertically extracted protection position a second, light-transmitting surface structural portion.

  • Patent number: 6910518
    Abstract: A double window shade arrangement for a divided window of a motor vehicle, the window shade arrangement includes two separate winding shafts that are arranged on the window at arbitrary angles relative to one another. Window shade strips assigned to the respective winding shafts are moved in at least one direction with the aid of a common driving motor. For this purpose, the electric motor can be coupled to the free edges of the window shade strips or directly coupled to the winding shafts.

  • Publication number: 20050082859
    Abstract: 1. Protective device for a motor vehicle luggage area. 2.1. The invention relates to a protective device for a motor vehicle luggage area (1) with a flexible flat article (7), which is movably mounted between a compact, deposited protection position and at least one extracted protection position. 2.2. According to the invention, there are at least two parallel, spaced functional shafts (6a, 6b) to which the flat article (7) is connected, together with means for detecting the position of the flat article (7) and control means which, as a function of the detected positions, control the functional shafts (6a, 6b) in such a way that the flat article (7) in a first, roughly horizontally extracted protection position has a first, light-proof surface structural portion (7a) and in a second, vertically extracted protection position a second, light-transmitting surface structural portion (7b). 2.3. Use e.g. for motor vehicles.

  • Patent number: 6595567
    Abstract: A separating device (13) includes a separating net or a separating grid (14) of a flexible material. On two edges (16, 17) of the separating net (14) that run parallel to one another, in each case a stiffening strut (19, 21) is provided. One of the two stiffening struts (19) serves for the anchoring of the separating device underneath the vehicle roof while the other stiffening strut (21) is anchored at a distance from the roof lining, for example on the (rear) seat back or on the floor of the load compartment. The two stiffening struts (19, 21) contain in each case a hinge (30). In this manner the separating device (13) can be folded up along its width and thereupon rolled-up. A packing device (96, 97) in the form of a pocket provided on the separating device (13) serves for securing of the folded separating device (13) in the packed position.
