Abstract: A cargo shade attachment for retaining a cargo shade having a non-compressible roller tube with end caps thereon. The cargo shade attachment includes a pocket connected to an interior panel in a cargo area of a vehicle, a slidable plunger having a surface for engaging the end cap being mounted within the pocket, and a biasing device for urging the plunger toward a center line of the vehicle such that the plunger exerts a compressive force on the end cap of the cargo shade thereby retaining the cargo shade.

Abstract: A vehicle security shade adapted for use within the interior compartment of a motor vehicle and having a shade which can be extended to enclose the vehicle compartment area. The shade assembly is removably attached to the motor vehicle interior by using one or more end piece assemblies having a telescoping end piece. The end piece is biased to an outer position through the use of a compression spring. The end piece engages with a socket or other mounting feature of the motor vehicle interior trim. The axially moveable end piece includes a blocking means which allows the end piece to move under the influence of the compression spring to its outer position but is blocked from returning from its inner position until an actuator is manually operated. The positive mechanical blocking of inward movement of the end piece is provided at a plurality of relative extended positions of the end piece.
