Abstract: A shade arrangement for a motor vehicle with at least one shade length and at least one roller tube for taking-up and unrolling the shade length, each side edge of the shade length having at least one flexible, flat guide strip which extends along the drawing direction of the shade and is guided in a guide. The guide contains a connecting link in which the guide strip is guided, and which has an exit gap through which the shade length emerges from the guide, the guide strip being guided such that its base surface is guided essentially parallel to the adjacent region of the shade length. The shaping and dimensioning of the exit gap and guide strip are such that the guide strip cannot emerge from the guide by itself. The shade length is connected to the roller tube via at least one constant force spring.

Abstract: This invention relates to a shade arrangement for a motor vehicle with at least two shades having lengths of shade material (10a, 10b), which are located next to one another and to one end of which a respective pull (14a, 14b) is attached. Both of the lengths of shade material (10a, 10b) are drawn out and taken up in the same direction at their opposite end from/onto a common roller tube (12) which is pretensioned in the take-up direction.

Abstract: This arrangement relates to an operating and control means for a shade arrangement, especially for a vehicle roof with a transparent roof surface, the shade arrangement comprising at least one shade with a shade roller and a shade fabric which can be unrolled therefrom by means of an electric actuator against the forms of a return spring assigned to the shade roller, and the shade roller with entrainment of the shade fabric being movable in side guide rails in order to move the shade surface formed by the unrolled shade fabric. As claimed in the invention, the operating means for this shade arrangement comprises a first switch arrangement (56) for setting the size of the shading surface formed by the shade fabric by taking up and unrolling the shade fabric, and a second switch arrangement (58) for moving the shading surface as a whole without changing its size.

Abstract: A motor vehicle roof with an at least partially transparent roof section (10) and a shade arrangement (12) located underneath the transparent roof section. In one of three embodiments, with two take-up shafts (16, 18) located in succession in the lengthwise direction of the roof and a length of shade (14) which extends in between, and the front end of the length of shade can be taken up onto the front take-up shaft and the back end onto the rear take-up shaft, the two take-up shafts each being pre-tensioned in the take-up direction, the two take-up shafts being movable along one laterally arranged guide in the lengthwise direction of the roof, and there being a common drive (70, 72, 74, 76) in order to move the take-up shafts (16, 18) in opposite directions toward one another in the lengthwise direction of the roof.

Abstract: Uncontrolled take-up of a shade and often unexpected noise development are perceived as disturbing by the operator. Therefore, it is provided that a shade arrangement with a length of shade material (10) and a take-up roll (12) to which the length of shade material is attached and which is pretensioned by spring force in the take-up direction of the length of shade, has a pressure volume (46) coupled to the free end (16) of the length of shade material (10) such that, when the length of shade material is unrolled from the take-up shaft (12), a pressure is built up in the pressure volume which, when the length of shade material is released from a position in which it is at least partially unrolled from the take-up roll, the take-up motion of the length of shade is braked.

Abstract: A shade arrangement for a motor vehicle with a shade which has a shade material (10) one end of which is attached to a take-up tube (12) which is supported on a take-up shaft (14), and the other end of which is connected to a pull (16). Furthermore, with a motor I provided within the take-up tube for turning the take-up shaft. The shade arrangement also has at least one flexible drive element (20, 26) which is not directly connected to the take-up shaft and is connected to the pull such that rotation of the take-up shaft in the unwinding direction of a shade material leads to a force being applied by the drive element on the pull to move it. The motor is a tube motor which is extends within the take-up tube.

Abstract: This invention relates to a shade system for a motor vehicle roof, with at least one first (12) and one second shade arrangement (10) which are arranged offset to one another in the lengthwise direction of the roof and each have a take-up shaft (14, 16), a length of shade (18, 20) which proceeding from its one end can be taken up thereon, and a pull (22, 24) which acts on the free end of the length of shade, and at least one compressively stiff drive cable (26, 28) which is driven by a drive (30, 32) and which is securely coupled at a first location (34, 36) to the pull (24) of the first shade arrangement (12).

Abstract: A sunshade for a motor vehicle roof (2) with a shade screen (5) which can be wound onto a winding rod (6) and which is located underneath the roof, the opposing side edges of the shade screen are movably guided in the direction of shade motion on guide rails (7) and are held in the transverse direction with pre-tensioning of the shade screen (5). To produce pretension in the transverse direction without tensioning elements or bars which are permanently attached to the shade screen and which would hinder rewinding, it is provided that the engagement elements, which are guided on the guide rails (7), can be coupled to the side edges of the length (5) of shade when it is unwound to keep the length (5) of shade pre-tensioned in the transverse direction, so that the sunshade (4) located under an arched vehicle roof (2) can follow the arch of the roof, but can be disengaged for the shade screen (5) as it is wound onto the winding rod so as to enable the shade screen to be wound more compactly.
