Abstract: In a retaining net arrangement the lower edge (16) of the retaining net (13) is fixed in the vehicle with two anchoring elements (24). To the anchoring elements (24) there belong two non-extensible tension elements which are held in the suspended state under a corresponding pre-stressing state by pre-stressing elements. An automatically acting clamping device leads both the pre-stressing forces for the tensioning of the retaining net into the car body (7) and also the increased forces which arise when an object is flung against the retaining net (13).

Abstract: A roll-up window blind (5) for automobile rear windows panes (4) has two actuating levers (9, 11) with which the pullrod (13) is moved in the direction of reeling-out or reeling-in of the blind material (12). The levers (9, 11) are borne in such manner that, in the reeled-out state, the pullrod (13) is pressed with a tension force against the rear window pane (4). In order to avoid any damage to the heating wires, the pullrod (13) is provided on its ends with guide elements (41), which are mounted movably on the pullrod (13). With the blind (5) reeled out, they project over the outer contour of the pullrod (13) and, as they themselves come to lie on the rear window pane (4), they hold the pullrod (13) at a distance from the rear window pane (4). On reeling-in they are retracted behind the outer contours of the pullrod (13), so that they can be retracted into the slot (7) from which the blind material emerges, and, namely, without recesses for the guide elements being necessary on the slot edges (22).

Abstract: A stowage device in the form of a storage receiving net is attached at a vehicle storage space. A supporting structure is associated with an open side of the receiving net, to spread the open side in a functional position that exposes the interior of the pocket.

Abstract: A stowage apparatus for a cargo area of a motor vehicle has a cargo area floor equipped with at least one recess. At least one insert frame fits into the at least one recess of the cargo area floor and can be fastened on the vehicle by an attachment mechanism. The present stowage apparatus is particularly suitable for passenger cars.

Abstract: A safety net apparatus for preventing objects from being flung from a luggage compartment into the passenger space of a motor vehicle. The apparatus includes a safety net which can be pulled out and used at different pull out lengths from a winding shaft rotatably supported within a housing of the apparatus. The winding shaft includes a blocking device adapted for blocking rotation of the winding shaft as a consequence of an object being flung into the safety net for preventing further unwinding of the safety net from the winding shaft as a consequence of the forces acting on the net. Alternative blocking devices are disclosed which can be either manually operated, or which can be operated in response to acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle, acceleration in the rotary speed of the winding shaft, or transverse forces acting on the winding shaft.

Abstract: A cargo space covering is provided which has axially movable lateral housing parts for the fastening in vehicle-fixed holding devices. A locking device is assigned to at least one lateral housing part, which locking device, when the locking position of the lateral housing part is reached, can be changed from an inoperative position into an operative position in which the locking device exercises an additional retaining force onto the lateral housing part relative to the longitudinal axis of the housing which supplements the spring force.

Abstract: Cassette housings are provided for receiving safety nets for separating a cargo space in lateral vehicle-fixed receiving devices radially to the longitudinal axis of the housing. At least one fixing element is applied to the housing and connects the housing in a force-transmitting manner with a vehicle-fixed plane spaced with respect to the receiving devices.

Abstract: A protective device for an interior of a motor vehicle having flexible flat structure stretched in a rigid frame. The frame is mounted to move between a resting position and a protective position.

Abstract: A cargo space partition is provided between a rear compartment and a cargo space of a station wagon interior, including a retractable safety net mounted at a rear bench seat in front of the cargo space. Tilt-out elements are assigned to the side edges on both sides of the safety net, which tilt-out elements are movably arranged between an inoperative position and a tilt-out position which at least partially closes the respective free spaces at side edges of the safety net. In the tilt-out position the tilt-out elements project laterally to the outside in the mounting plane of the safety net and can be locked in the respective end positions, to thereby close the otherwise free spaces through which cargo could be thrown.

Abstract: A luggage compartment cover for a motor vehicle has a bearing shaft extending between two bucket-shaped side parts, which supports a flat structure that can be rolled and unrolled, such as a concealing cover. At least one of the side parts is axially movable with respect to a bearing axis of the bearing shaft between a release position, in which the side part is released from a mount which is integral with the vehicle, and a locking position, in which the side part is locked in the mount which is integral with the vehicle. At least one side part has a releasable lock for locking the side part in the release position. In another embodiment, the luggage compartment cover has a locking device which locks a side part axially relative to the bearing shaft and which is unlockable with an actuating button. In another embodiment, the luggage compartment cover has a releasable lock which is constructed in the manner of a ballpoint pen lock.

Abstract: A roller cover for covering the baggage space of station wagons has an elongated housing in which the winding shaft of the cover is rotatably supported and which, in the driven-in state, receives a web for covering the space. The housing of the cover is provided with cup-shaped end caps which are spring-biased outwardly from the main body of the housing, so that the housing with the winding shaft centers itself in the auto body. For the locking of the cover in the vehicle, locking sliders are guided slidably in the end caps and are biased into locking positions by springs supported in the end cap so that the holding force of the locking members is independent of the auto body tolerances.

Abstract: To ensure that a cross element forming an attachment tube or rod (18) extending across the back portion of a motor vehicle, can absorb energy if an object impinges against a net (14) suspended from the attachment rod or tube, a tubular insert element (24) is located in a chamber formed in the end of the cross element, to which a kinetic energy absorbent deformation structure is coupled. The deformation structure may be another tubular body (25), for example a plastic injection-molded part. A shaft (36) having a coupling end for attachment to a holding bracket for coupling the cross element to the vehicle is formed with radially projecting ears (46) which, upon impingement of an object against the net, will cause the shaft to withdraw into the deformation body (25), causing deformation thereof and thereby absorbing kinetic energy. A spring (41), under normal conditions, holds the shaft in one of two extreme positions.

Abstract: A cover for the access opening of a motor vehicle. The cover has a web by which the access opening is to be closed. On the sides of the access opening are attached guide rails in which the struts attached to the web travel back and forth. In order to remove or reinstall easily the web from the vehicle, there are receiving pieces which cooperate with the guide rails to receive the ends of the struts when the web is retracted. To prevent an inadvertent separation of the struts and roller web from the receiving means when the cover is removed from the guide rails, there are blocking arrangements which prevent the struts from leaving the receiving pieces unless the receiving pieces are attached to the guide rails.

Abstract: The safety net is adapted to be mounted in a motor vehicle such as a stationwagon, van or the like, to separate a passenger compartment in the motor vehicle from a cargo compartment and prevent injury to passengers in the passenger compartment upon abrupt deceleration of the vehicle, for example due to a frontal collision or the like, by preventing flying objects such as suitcases (9) from reaching the passenger compartment. To prevent tearing of the net if the body of the vehicle is deformed so that the net, stretched between the roof and the backseat or bottom of the cargo compartment, is excessively stressed, the net is formed with a tear prevention arrangement which includes a net size expansion compensation arrangement (17) in the form of a fold, for example a zig-zag fold, seamed into the net and held in position by a frangible, stitched seam line (31, 34), which can tear upon substantial stresses placed on the net.

Abstract: To provide a removable cover, especially for a luggage or trunk space of a motor vehicle, a pair of essentially parallel spaced guide rails (9, 11) are secured to the side walls of the vehicle at a level preferably about the height of the back seat of the vehicle and in a common plane which extends across the space. The cover element is formed by a flexible web (15) which is coupled to and supported by a plurality of struts slidable in the guide rails. The guide rails terminate in, or are formed by a holder or retention section which is adapted to receive a receptor element (17), against which the struts can be pushed, with the web then being gathered in folds. The receptor element is removable from the holder or retention section, and a spring (62) thereon holds the gathered web and the struts in position in the receptor element.
