Publication number: 20170355248Abstract: A protection device for a vehicle interior compartment including a flexible planar structure displaceable between a pulled-out protective position and a rest position. The planar structure is connected to a dimensionally stable pull-out profile, which profile is mounted for longitudinal displacement on each of its opposite sides in a respective guiding structure fixed to the vehicle. A respective cable pull is installed in each guiding structure, each cable pull engaging on a respective one of sliding bodies slidingly mounted in the guiding structure. The sliding body is connected to the pull-out profile such that a torque introduced into the pull-out profile by the cable pull on the sliding body and a counter-torque introduced into the pull-out profile by the planar structure are configured, relative to a longitudinal axis of the pull-out profile extending transversely to the pull-out direction, such that the sliding bodies and the pull-out profile are held in equilibrium during a displacement move.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2015Publication date: December 14, 2017Inventors: Herbert WALTER, Huan TRAN, Matthias MAIER
