  • Rear-window roller blind without residual open gap
    Patent number: 7396067
    Abstract: A rear window roller blind for motor vehicles which has a pull rod assembly with a contoured plate. The contoured plate is used to close the segmented residual gap between the straight pull rod assembly and the curved top edge of the rear window. In order for the contoured plate to lie flush with a rear shelf below the rear window when the roller blind is in a retracted position, it is pivotable about a longitudinal axis of the pull rod assembly during movement of the pull rod between its retracted and extended positions. Such rotational movement is controlled by the contour of guide rails within which the pull rod is guided during such pull out movement.
