Patent number: 7900987Abstract: A covering system for a rear storage space of a vehicle, with two guide rails running parallel and arranged on both sides of the rear storage space, includes a largely dimensionally stable closing surface element which has guide devices on both sides. The guide devices are arranged movably within the guide rails and make it possible for the largely dimensionally stable closing surface element to be movable along the guide rails between a lower and an upper end position. At least one pivoting section of the closing surface element is designed such that it can be pivoted downward at least in the upper end position.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2008Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Bos GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7731461Abstract: A load-bearing rail is provided for the cargo space of a motor vehicle, which is used for accommodating a load-bearing eyelet that can be guided therein in a movable and lockable manner. To provide a load-bearing rail for the cargo space of a motor vehicle, which may assume additional functions in order to both keep the weight low and to reduce the number of parts and thus to lower the cost of production, the load-bearing rail is provided with a bracket, which sticks out laterally and which serves as a support for a floor of the cargo space.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2006Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignees: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, BOS GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7316440Abstract: A protective device for a motor vehicle luggage area has a flexible flat article, which is movably mounted between a compact, deposited protection position and at least one extracted protection position. There are at least two parallel, spaced functional shafts to which the flat article is connected. The position of the flat article is detected and a controller, as a function of the detected position, controls the functional shafts in such a way that the flat article in a first, roughly horizontally extracted protection position has a first, light-proof surface structural portion and in a second, vertically extracted protection position a second, light-transmitting surface structural portion.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2006Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: BOS GmbH & Co KGInventors: Herbert Walter, Werner P.
