Abstract: The self-winding blind includes a fabric having a free edge fitted with a pull-bar and including a first segment parallel to the winding axis and at least one second segment inclined relative to said axis towards the housing. The pull-bar is constituted by a portion fixed to the first segment, and at least one portion hinged to the fixed portion in order to pivot about an axis substantially perpendicular to the plane containing the wound-out fabric. A flexible cord associated with a resilient tension member links the corner between the second segment and the side edge to the pull-bar by extending through a guide support disposed at the free end of the hinged portion.

Abstract: A motor-driven blind for a curved back window of a motor vehicle. A winder roller has an end of a cloth fixed thereto and the other end fixed to a pull-bar. Two arms are hinged at ends to the pull-bar and hinged at the other ends to carriages slidable in slideway which is substantially parallel to the axis of the winder roller. A drive device synchronously moves the carriages, and hence the ends of the arm in opposite directions in the slideway to thereby deploy the cloth. The pull-bar is elastically deformable in a direction perpendicular to the cloth.

Abstract: A motorized roller blind comprises a housing in which at least one roller member is rotatably mounted, and a strip of material forming the blind member which is fixed to the roller member at one end and to a pull bar at the other end. Actuating means comprise first and second links each having a first end pivotally fixed to the pull bar in the vicinity of a respective end thereof, and a second end pivotally fixed to a coupling member which is itself fixed to a respective end of a rack drive member adapted to be displaced by a drive pinion drive by a motor.
