Publication number: 20040066059Abstract: A windup window shade is provided with windup window shade means 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2003Publication date: April 8, 2004Applicant: BOS GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6715525Abstract: A separation device for a motor vehicle, with a flexible flat shaped article, which is held on a winding shaft located in a box housing between a rolled-in rest position and a pulled-out protective position which is rigidly connected to the vehicle with holding devices, in a manner so it can be rolled in and rolled out, where a return spring arrangement applies pressure in the roll-in direction onto the winding shaft. According to the invention, the return spring arrangement is formed by a series or parallel connection of a stronger wound spring and a weaker convenience spring, where the switching is designed in such a manner that, between the rolled-up rest position and a first pull-out position, the stronger roll-up force is applied, and, from the first pull-out position on, for a limited time, a smaller roll-up force is applied, for the transfer into the suspended protective position, and in that the wound spring is associated with a damping element.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2001Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: BOS GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20030085007Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2002Publication date: May 8, 2003Applicant: BOS GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6557616Abstract: A rear windowpane roll-up blind is reeled out with the aid of actuating levers 9, 11. The actuating levers 9, 11 are the sole elements which carry the pull rod 13 of the roll-up blind 5. In order to prevent a damaging of the heating wires on the inside of the rear window pane 4, guide rollers 56 are rotatably supported on the outer ends of the pull rod 13. Mechanisms 42 70 are provided which allow the guide rollers 56 to yield under spring tension so that the force with which the rollers 56 are pressed on the pane 4 is held within a prescribed range regardless of installation and vehicle body tolerances.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2001Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Assignee: BOS GmbH & Co.
