  • Publication number: 20180371761
    Abstract: The technical disclosure of this Catwalk System Tiny House is the allowance of the user to walk in an erect manner alongside of the length, head or foot of the +mattress bed in a sleeping loft in a tiny house with a low ceiling and get onto the mattress bed laying on the loft floor, and get up from it without resorting to getting on one's hands and knees. This is new in the art of design of tiny houses with low ceiling sleeping lofts, as previously all lofts required the user to go from a ladder or stairway to a hands and knees crawling position to get to and from the sleeping mattress.

  • Patent number: 9914342
    Abstract: Shading device for a transparent surface part of a motor vehicle having a flexible shading structure, two non-parallel lateral guide arrangements fixed with respect to the vehicle and having a dimensionally stable pull-out profile displaceable in parallel fashion by in each case one guide carriage in the respective lateral guide arrangement via a drive device, lateral shading structure sections protruding, in a manner dependent on the displacement travel of the shading structure, into lateral receiving spaces fixed with respect to the vehicle. To the lateral shading structure sections, there are fastened in each case two support bodies spaced apart from one another in the pulling-out direction of the shading structure and the thickness of which is greater than a thickness of the respective shading structure sections. The support bodies are guided in transversely supported fashion with play in complementary support channel sections of the receiving spaces.

  • Publication number: 20170355248
    Abstract: A protection device for a vehicle interior compartment including a flexible planar structure displaceable between a pulled-out protective position and a rest position. The planar structure is connected to a dimensionally stable pull-out profile, which profile is mounted for longitudinal displacement on each of its opposite sides in a respective guiding structure fixed to the vehicle. A respective cable pull is installed in each guiding structure, each cable pull engaging on a respective one of sliding bodies slidingly mounted in the guiding structure. The sliding body is connected to the pull-out profile such that a torque introduced into the pull-out profile by the cable pull on the sliding body and a counter-torque introduced into the pull-out profile by the planar structure are configured, relative to a longitudinal axis of the pull-out profile extending transversely to the pull-out direction, such that the sliding bodies and the pull-out profile are held in equilibrium during a displacement move.

  • Publication number: 20170349034
    Abstract: Protection device for a vehicle interior compartment including a flexible planar structure held on a roller blind shaft windable and unwindable between a pulled-out protective position and a compactly stored rest position. The planar structure is connected to a dimensionally stable pull-out profile on a face end region that is in front in the pull-out direction, which profile is guided for longitudinal displacement on each of its opposite sides in a respective guiding structure disposed fixed to the vehicle in the ready-for-use condition. At least one supporting structure is provided for rotatable bearing of the roller blind shaft, wherein the lateral guiding structures are connected to the supporting structure and are pivotably arranged on the supporting structure for an assembly position. Securing elements for releasable fixation of the guiding structures in their assembly position, pivoted towards the supporting structure, are provided on the supporting structure.

  • Patent number: 9764624
    Abstract: Shading device for a transparent surface part of a motor vehicle having a shading structure, two non-parallel lateral guide arrangements fixed with respect to the vehicle and flanking a displacement travel of the shading structure on opposite sides, and a pull-out profile which, at opposite face sides, is displaceable by in each case one guide carriage, lateral shading structure sections protruding, in a manner dependent on the displacement travel of the shading structure, into lateral receiving spaces fixed with respect to the vehicle and assigned to the guide arrangements. Each lateral guide arrangement and the associated receiving space are integrated in one housing structure fixed with respect to the vehicle and having a guide slot for the passage of the guide carriage from the pull-out profile to a drive device the guide slot running along the displacement travel of the shading structure and opening toward the latter.

  • Patent number: 9725044
    Abstract: A protective device for a vehicle interior including a flexible structure held on a winding shaft and mounted for movement between a rest position, wound-up on the winding shaft, and a pulled-out protective position. Guiding members are provided in an end face region, which members are connectable to a drive system having a drive motor and a drive transmission connected to the guiding members in order to cause synchronous displacement of both guiding members. The drive transmission includes a revolving pull drive mechanism on one side, which drive mechanism is connected to one guiding member and is driven by the drive motor. The other guiding member is displaceable by a push-pull cord capable of translational movement, which cord is coupled to the revolving pull drive mechanism.

  • Patent number: 9511733
    Abstract: Protective device with a flexible sheet-like structure movable between a compactly stored position and at least one two-dimensionally extended functional position and which is provided, on an end region thereof with a dimensionally stable extension profile which, at opposite ends, has retaining profile sections mounted so as to be displaceable telescopically to a limited extent in the extension profile and acted upon outwardly in the longitudinal direction of the extension profile by a spring arrangement. Each retaining profile section is assigned a second spring arrangement which acts on the retaining profile section in the opposite direction to the first spring arrangement. The retaining profile section, in an unloaded non-operational position, is held on the extension profile in a central position, from which the retaining profile section can be shifted inward or outward in opposite longitudinal directions relative to the extension profile.
