Patent number: 6715525Abstract: A separation device for a motor vehicle, with a flexible flat shaped article, which is held on a winding shaft located in a box housing between a rolled-in rest position and a pulled-out protective position which is rigidly connected to the vehicle with holding devices, in a manner so it can be rolled in and rolled out, where a return spring arrangement applies pressure in the roll-in direction onto the winding shaft. According to the invention, the return spring arrangement is formed by a series or parallel connection of a stronger wound spring and a weaker convenience spring, where the switching is designed in such a manner that, between the rolled-up rest position and a first pull-out position, the stronger roll-up force is applied, and, from the first pull-out position on, for a limited time, a smaller roll-up force is applied, for the transfer into the suspended protective position, and in that the wound spring is associated with a damping element.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2001Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: BOS GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6595567Abstract: A separating device (13) includes a separating net or a separating grid (14) of a flexible material. On two edges (16, 17) of the separating net (14) that run parallel to one another, in each case a stiffening strut (19, 21) is provided. One of the two stiffening struts (19) serves for the anchoring of the separating device underneath the vehicle roof while the other stiffening strut (21) is anchored at a distance from the roof lining, for example on the (rear) seat back or on the floor of the load compartment. The two stiffening struts (19, 21) contain in each case a hinge (30). In this manner the separating device (13) can be folded up along its width and thereupon rolled-up. A packing device (96, 97) in the form of a pocket provided on the separating device (13) serves for securing of the folded separating device (13) in the packed position.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2001Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: BOS GmbH & Co.
