The base unit is also provided with coupling devices, wherein guide tubes for thrust elements originate at these coupling devices and lead to a driving motor. The coupling device contains a channel into which a plug-type pin of a corresponding guide rail that is rigidly connected to a side trim section of the motor vehicle can be inserted. The guide groove extends through the plug-type pin such that the pull bar can be arbitrarily moved back and forth between the guide rail and the coupling device after the installation when the roller blind web is respectively retracted and pulled out.

Abstract: A window roller blind for motor vehicles having a guide rail arrangement that also forms an interior panel of the vehicle. The interior panel has a gap that forms a guide groove for guiding movement of the window blind between open and closed positions of the vehicle. The guide groove is undercut by being formed with a slot and a larger sized chamber behind interior panel parts. The chamber is defined either partly or completely within a rail fixed to rear sides of the interior panel parts.

Abstract: A holding bar of a safety net separating a luggage compartment from a passenger compartment of an automobile vehicle has a tubular body from which holding members project at its end to engage in brackets close to the roof of the vehicle. Within the tube, the holders have enlarged ends which apply compression force to respective deformation bodies braced against constrictions of the tube so that the kinetic energy of a crash is converted to axial decompression deformation of those bodies. The bodies may be injection molded onto the shanks or can be formed of a plurality of parts and clipped together therearound.

Abstract: A window shade arrangement for motor vehicles that includes plastic injection molded guide rails designed such that they may be formed with injection tools that do not require moveable cores for forming guide grooves therein. In one embodiment, the guide rail includes an outer part (41) formed with a guide groove and a support part (42) made from less deformable material than the outer part for preventing widening of and deforming of the guide groove during usage. In another embodiment, the first and second molded parts are interconnectable to define the guide groove.

Abstract: A window shade for motor vehicles has a pull rod arrangement which, by means of actuating elements running through the guide rails, is moved in a positive manner away from the winding shaft as toward it. To this end, a positively acting coupling is provided between the pull rod arrangement and the respective actuating element.

Abstract: Protective device for a luggage area of the vehicle. A protective device with at least one holder for the seat, at least one flexible flat structure that can be moved into at least one withdrawn functional position and into a compact resting position in the holder is prior art. According to the invention, the holder is held on a mounting system that can be moved so that the holder can be changed into at least two different positions within the vehicle. Use for station wagons.

Abstract: A windup window shade is provided with windup window shade mechanism which, in the extracted state, make possible different degrees of opacity at the window. To this end, the two window shade web can either be wound on separate windup shafts and spread out in the same direction from the same starting point, or the two window shade webs have been connected with each other and, after having been extended, are moved in the manner of a film in front of the window. Two windup shafts are employed in both cases, wherein in the one case the two windup shafts are located directly next to each other, while in the other case the windup shafts are separated from each other during the extension of the shade.

Abstract: A window roller blind (5) or a partition net is provided that is extendable and retractable with the aid of actuating elements (14, 15) that swing about axes that extends at a right angle to a winding shaft (18) on which material (8) is wound up. The actuating elements (14, 15) are stiff relative to a bending plane that extends at a right angle to the planes defined by the spread-out roller blind strip (8) or the partition net. Each of the actuating elements (14, 15) includes an angular gear (22, 23) with an output shaft that carries and rotates with the respective actuating element (14, 15). The output shaft (32, 34) of the respective angular gear (22, 23) forms at the same time the bearing axis of the actuating element (14, 15). The two angular gears (22, 23) are either driven by separate motors (29, 33), or their input shafts are mechanically coupled one with the other and are jointly driven by a single electric motor (29).

Abstract: A loading compartment comprising a loading compartment base (2), in addition to two opposing lateral walls (3) is known in prior art. According to the invention, at least one lateral wall (3) comprising at least one dimensionally stable functional module (4a-4d) is provided. Said module is detachably mounted to the bodywork and has an open or closed receiving compartment for at least one functional element (5a-5d). The invention can used in estate vehicles.

Abstract: A louver for a louver blind curtain comprising two parts which can be moved in a telescope-like manner with respect to each other. By means of a rubber traction device, the louver parts are subjected to pre-tension in the direction toward the shortened position of the louver. The louver curtain comprises a multitude of louvers whose length can be automatically changed and which are guided at both ends on guide tracks. The connection between the louver and each guide track is achieved by a respective slider, where the slider is provided at one end of the louvers with a drive, to change the angular position of the louvers. In addition, those sliders which travel the longest distance during the opening and the closing of the curtain are provided with screwed spindle drives.

Abstract: For closing the outlet slit of a window shade in a rear window shelf of a motor vehicle, a winding shaft of the rear window shade is seated in a window shade support which is movable in relation to the underside of the rear window shelf. By reason of such arrangement, it is possible either to use the window shade support itself for closing the slit when the window shade web is in the retracted position, or the winding shaft can be moved to close to the slit.

Receiving tracks are provided in a cargo space floor, which tracts are associated with securing means for the suitcases, corresponding securing elements are provided on the suitcases, which can be engaged with positive lock with securing means in the cargo space, and actuation means are provided, in the cargo space or on the suitcase, for the manual separation of the securing means and the securing elements from each other, for use, for example, in station wagons.

Abstract: A window shade for motor vehicles has a window shade web material 14 which is designed for being adapted during retraction and extension to the shape of the window, namely in respect to the width dimensions and/or in respect to the curvature. To this end, the window shade web material 14 is made either from a window shade web which can be expanded or stretched in the transverse direction, or from two or more non-expandable window shade webs 15 and 16 which, in the extended state, approximate the shape of the respective window in the desired manner. An additional mounting frame 65 can be used in all cases, in which the elements which are parts of the window shade are arranged, or stored, in order to create a component in this way, which can be installed as a whole in the vehicle on the assembly line.
