  • Drive arrangement
    Patent number: 9428956
    Abstract: A drive arrangement (1) for actuating a roller sun blind (21) of a motor vehicle has an actuation rod (2) with external thread (3) and a hollow cylinder (4) with internal thread (5). The actuation rod (2) is arranged coaxially in the hollow cylinder (4). The external thread (3) of the actuation rod (2) meshes with the internal thread (5) of the hollow cylinder (4). Thus, relative rotation of actuation rod (2) and hollow cylinder (4) displaces the actuation rod (2) axially relative to the hollow cylinder (4). The actuation rod (2) is guided in non-rotatable fashion, and the hollow cylinder (4) can be rotated by a drive (6).
