  • Patent number: 9987992
    Abstract: A blind for closing a storage compartment in a motor vehicle is provided. The blind has slats arranged on rod-shaped guide elements which are slidably guided in guideways. According to the invention, each slat covers two guide elements and is attached to one of the guide elements and rests on the other guide element. The invention enables slats to be long in a sliding direction of the blind while the guideways have a small radius of curvature.

  • Patent number: 9925926
    Abstract: A blind for closing a storage compartment in a central console of a motor vehicle is provided. The blind has rod-shaped guide elements which are slidably guided in lateral grooves. Slats are clipped onto the guide elements, which slats project laterally and become wider in a longitudinal direction of the blind, so that in a closed position of the blind they completely cover an intermediate space between two obliquely diverging side walls of the central console.
