Abstract: A spring motor having a pot shaped housing in which a flat spiral spring is housed. The flat spiral spring is connected at one outer end to the pot-shaped housing while the inner end is coupled to a shaft or axle. To prevent radial vibrations of individual spring layers when the spring motor is wound or unwound, a damping plate is housed in the pot-shaped housing and held in pressed engagement with a side edge of the flat spiral spring. This spring motor can be combined with the wind-up shaft of roller-blind arrangements for motor vehicles, including fixed roller blinds, storage-area covers, or separating screens.

Abstract: A roll-up sunroof shade is provided that includes two guide rails running along the sides of the shade sheet. The shade sheet is cut wider than corresponds to the clear distance between the guide rails. While being pulled out, the shade sheet is forced by an appropriate geometry at the inlet end of the guide rails to form a tube-like loop around a piping member that moves along with it. Due to the wrapping of the piping member, the shade sheet is held in place perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the guide rail.

Abstract: A roller blind arrangement has a hollow tubular winding shaft holding a flexible sheet, and a winding spring which is placed in a spring receptacle section. A first end of the winding spring is rotationally affixed to the winding shaft. A second end is fixed to a holding section rotatable about a main axis of the winding shaft. The winding spring has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the spring receptacle section. The radial mobility of the winding spring is delimited by an inner wall of the spring receptacle section. The winding spring, in a relaxed state, is longer than the spring receptacle section such that the winding spring, in a compressed and untwisted state in which it is compressed approximately to the length of the spring receptacle section, bears substantially over its entire length against the inner wall of the spring receptacle section.

Abstract: Two drive gears are provided as an extension of the guide rails for driving a roll-up window shade for a motor vehicle. The drive gears are coupled to the winding shaft in a rotationally elastic manner. The driving is carried out via a geared motor, which acts either on the gears or on the winding shaft. The positioning of the drive gears as an extension of the guide rails avoids the guide tubes used in prior art arrangements. Thus, the friction losses found in the prior art, which consume up to 80% of the drive force, are avoided. Furthermore, manufacturing is simplified because the connection tubes having a complicated shape are not needed.
