  • Patent number: 10035407
    Abstract: A drive mechanism for vehicle movable panels having a first slide mechanism having a rod and a sled with a tilt lever, the rod being coupled with the tilt lever for pivoting the tilt lever in a first state and the rod being decoupled from the tilt lever in a second state such that the tilt lever is movable relative to the rod and relative to the guide rail along the first direction, the sled comprising a holding element. In a first position the holding element is locked to the guide rail such that the sled is latched relative to the guide rail and in a second position the sled is movable relative to the guide rail to transmit a movement of the sled along the first direction to a second slide mechanism and the holding element holds the tilt lever, when the rod is decoupled from the tilt lever.

  • Publication number: 20090008045
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a shading device (1) of a light-permeable window, which comprises a canvas (10), which is movably mounted for displacement, and at least one transverse reinforcement (50), which is connected fixedly to the canvas (10). The invention is worthy of note in so far as each transverse reinforcement (50) has an inner receptacle (51) which, firstly, is open in the longitudinal direction via a gap (52), the width of which is smaller than that of the abovementioned inner receptacle (51), and, secondly, is suitable for accommodating a fold of the canvas (11), which fold is arranged in the transverse direction starting from the canvas (10) and is provided with a thickened part (12), the cross section of which is larger than the width of the abovementioned gap (12).
