  • Publication number: 20190047381
    Abstract: Shading system having at least one flexible planar structure mounted such that it can be wound onto at least one winding shaft between a wound-on position of rest and at least one at least partially extended functional position and unwound therefrom. A plurality of strip sections extend in parallel with respect to one another and have different translucency values. A control device changes the translucency of the planar structure through spatial displacement of the planar structure. Two flexible planar structures are provided and are displaceable in parallel or transversely. Each planar structure is provided with strip sections which run longitudinally or transversely and have different translucency values. The control device acts mechanically on at least one planar structure and has at least one manually-operated actuator element.

  • Patent number: 9132718
    Abstract: A shading device for a glass surface region of a motor vehicle having a flexible shading formation movably supported between a rest position compactly stored in a vehicle interior and a tensioned shading position. The shading device includes a dimensionally stable draw-out profile member movable by a linearly movable lifting rod into the shading position or the rest position. A drive unit for lifting or lowering the lifting rod is associated with the lifting rod. The draw-out profile member has a support receiving member, which is closed upwards in the lifting direction and which is open downwards, for receiving and releasing the lifting rod in accordance with the movement direction of the lifting rod. A locking device is associated with the draw-out profile member and secures the draw-out profile member in the shading position so as to be fixed to a vehicle.
