  • Patent number: 11897545
    Abstract: Vehicle body roof region and method for fastening a roof surface part to a roof body structure. A vehicle body roof region having a roof body structure and having a roof surface part which is fixedly connected to the roof body structure and which is designed as a glass roof part, which is provided to be adhesively bonded to the roof body structure, is known. According to the invention a mechanical adjusting device which is arranged between the glass roof part and the roof body structure is provided, said adjusting device being ready, after the glass roof part is positioned and before the adhesive bonding has cured, to permit an adjustment of the glass roof part relative to an outer skin of the roof body structure before the adhesive bonding has cured. Use in passenger motor vehicles.

  • Patent number: 9004146
    Abstract: A roller blind device for a motor vehicle having a flexible roller blind sheet held windably and unwindably on a roller blind shaft, a dimensionally stable pulling-out section assigned to the roller blind sheet at an end area which is at the front in the pulling-out direction, at least one pulling/pushing apparatus continuously rotating and in operative connection with the roller blind shaft and to which the pulling-out section is fastened, and having lateral guide section arrays in which lateral edges of the roller blind sheet are guided. The pulling/pushing apparatus is guided in a guide track integrated in the guide section array and transversely movable together with the guide section array for setting of the function position, in particular before initial operation.

  • Patent number: 8881789
    Abstract: A roller assembly for a motor vehicle having a winding shaft, a flexible fabric sheet which when in a stowed condition is wound onto the winding shaft and which can be unwound from the winding shaft in a longitudinal direction in order to reach a functioning position and which has sliding elements on its side edges, two guide rails extending in the longitudinal direction to guide the sliding elements, and a frame, whereby the guide rails are fastened on the frame so that they can be permanently fixed with a desired spacing. A rigid guide tube for a drive chain guided within the guide tube runs from the frame to the guide rail or to a feed-in piece mounted thereon, and a first fixing device is provided to fix the guide tube in a fixed location with respect to the frame in variable positions in the transverse direction.

  • Patent number: 8833843
    Abstract: A sunroof unit for a motor vehicle having a vehicle window arranged in the vehicle roof area and having at least one roller blind system below the vehicle window for partially covering the vehicle window, wherein the roller blind system has two guide rails aligned in the vehicle longitudinal direction and a flexible planar structure guided in lateral areas by the guide rails. The guide rails are fixed with regard to their distance from one another in a front end area and/or in a rear end area only indirectly by the vehicle window. The guide rails are each fastened using a fixing device to the vehicle window, and at least one fixing device is designed as a variable fixing device to permit a positive fixing of the respective guide rail relative to the vehicle window in one of several discrete relative positions with respect to a vehicle transverse direction.
