Abstract: The invention relates to a blind assembly comprising a blind web (11) which is provided with one respective flexible, flat guide strip (10) along both lateral edge areas. Said guide strip (10) is guided inside a guide along the direction of extension of the blind in order to stretch the blind web. The base of the guide strip (10) is guided parallel to adjacent areas of the blind web. The inventive blind assembly further comprises at least one blind coupling with which at least one of the guide strips engages in a removable, positive manner via an entraining element (12) and via which the guide strip can be extended along with the blind web.

Abstract: A shade arrangement for a motor vehicle with at least one shade length and at least one roller tube for taking-up and unrolling the shade length, each side edge of the shade length having at least one flexible, flat guide strip which extends along the drawing direction of the shade and is guided in a guide. The guide contains a connecting link in which the guide strip is guided, and which has an exit gap through which the shade length emerges from the guide, the guide strip being guided such that its base surface is guided essentially parallel to the adjacent region of the shade length. The shaping and dimensioning of the exit gap and guide strip are such that the guide strip cannot emerge from the guide by itself. The shade length is connected to the roller tube via at least one constant force spring.

Abstract: The invention relates to a winding shaft for a roller blind device with a winding tube (2) and a torsional tensioning device (7) that, with a first end (7a), is coupled to the winding tube (2) in a manner that enables it to rotate in relation thereto. The torsional tensioning device (7), at least with a second end, is coupled to the winding tube (20 so that it is rotationally fixed and axially displaceable in relation thereto.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roller blind arrangement comprising at least one roller blind web (10) and at least one winding tube (12) for winding and unwinding said roller blind web (10), which comprises side edge areas and at least one guiding element (18) which is used for guiding along said side edge areas extending in the direction of the roller blind extension guided in a guide (20). The guiding element(s) are rigidly fixed to the side edge areas of the blind web (10) by means of at least one first seam (30) in such a way that a slipping with respect to said roller blind web (10) is defined.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle roof (10) comprising at least one at least partially transparent roof part (14) that can be moved in order to at least partly open a roof opening (17), and a blind (20) which allows the movable roof part (14) to be covered from below at least in the closed position of the roof part (14). Said blind (20) is equipped with a blind web (22), an extensible hoop that is arranged at the front edge of the blind web (22), and a blind shaft (26) for winding up the blind web (22). The extensible hoop (24) is coupled to an electric driving motor via a dog so as to displace the extensible hoop along a guide. In order to make the vehicle roof more comfortable to operate, the extensible hoop (24) is removably coupled to a dog which is connected to the driving motor such that the blind (20) can be operated with the aid of the driving motor and can be displaced manually without being coupled to the driving motor.

Abstract: Uncontrolled take-up of a shade and often unexpected noise development are perceived as disturbing by the operator. Therefore, it is provided that a shade arrangement with a length of shade material (10) and a take-up roll (12) to which the length of shade material is attached and which is pretensioned by spring force in the take-up direction of the length of shade, has a pressure volume (46) coupled to the free end (16) of the length of shade material (10) such that, when the length of shade material is unrolled from the take-up shaft (12), a pressure is built up in the pressure volume which, when the length of shade material is released from a position in which it is at least partially unrolled from the take-up roll, the take-up motion of the length of shade is braked.

Abstract: A blind assembly for a motor vehicle, comprising a blind web that is extensible or movable in a longitudinal direction, and two guides that run in the longitudinal direction of the blind web and are located at a distance from each other in a transverse direction of the blind web. The blind web can be guided between the guides. The blind assembly further comprises expanding means which are part of the blind web or are connected thereto. The expanding means can be expanded at least in the transverse direction of the blind web or allow the blind web to be stretched in the transverse direction. The expanding means are provided with at least two components. At least one first component is elastic in the transverse direction of the blind web while at least one second component is non-elastic in the transverse direction of the blind web.

Abstract: A shade arrangement for a motor vehicle with a shade which has a shade material (10) one end of which is attached to a take-up tube (12) which is supported on a take-up shaft (14), and the other end of which is connected to a pull (16). Furthermore, with a motor I provided within the take-up tube for turning the take-up shaft. The shade arrangement also has at least one flexible drive element (20, 26) which is not directly connected to the take-up shaft and is connected to the pull such that rotation of the take-up shaft in the unwinding direction of a shade material leads to a force being applied by the drive element on the pull to move it. The motor is a tube motor which is extends within the take-up tube.

Abstract: A cover shade for a transparent roof element, window or the like, especially for motor vehicles, has a fabric shade (14) that is windable on and off of a winding shaft (12), a draw bar (16) at a free end of the fabric shade and which is movable in open and closing directions of the shade, a draw cable arrangement (20) which acts in the closing direction and which engages the draw bar, and a winding shaft reset spring which is tensioned when the shade is closed. The draw cable arrangement (20) has a draw cable (22) which runs from a fixed point (24) located in front of the draw bar (16) in the closing direction (18), via a deflection roller (26) located near one end of the bar, then via a second deflection roller (28) located near the other end of the bar, to an adjustable point (30) of application of the drawing force in front of the draw bar (16).
