Abstract: A sunshade assembly includes a flexible sunscreen, a rotatable winding shaft for winding and unwinding the sunscreen and two opposed guides for cooperation with two opposed longitudinal edges of the sunscreen. Each guide extends longitudinally in a curved manner in a plane which substantially is perpendicular to the sunscreen and in parallel to the respective longitudinal edge of the sunscreen. Longitudinal edge sections of the sunscreen are less stretchable than the remainder of the sunscreen and are tensioned in the longitudinal direction of the sunscreen.

Abstract: An assembly for covering an opening comprises a movable cover having a first flexible cover part that can be wound on or off a winding tube, a second rigid cover part attached to the first cover part at the end of latter remote from the winding tube and a third flexible cover part attached to the second cover part at the end of latter remote from the first cover part, wherein the free end of the third cover part extends around a reversing member which is movable by a first driving member, which free end is connected to a second driving member, and wherein the ratio between the winding velocity V1 of the winding tube, and thus the first and second cover parts, the driving velocity V2 of the first driving member and the driving velocity V3 of the second driving member is such, that V1+V3=2 V2, whereas V3>V2>V1>0.

Abstract: In a winding mechanism for a sun screen comprising a winding tube which is rotatable about a central axis for winding and unwinding the sun screen and driving means for said winding tube, the central axis is curved and the winding tube is flexible. A possible use of such a winding mechanism is in an open roof construction of a vehicle.
