  • Publication number: 20190118722
    Abstract: Protective device for an interior section of a vehicle, including a housing accommodating a bearing shaft for a windable structure which at least partially covers the interior section. Outer face ends of two housing side parts are each fixable in a vehicle-fixed holder, wherein at least one of the housing side parts is movable relative to a housing central part axially in relation to a housing longitudinal axis between a release position and a locking position. The at least one housing side part is movable by a spring force from the release position to the locking position. The at least one housing side part is associated with a damping device configured such that, during a movement of the housing side part by spring force, the damping device exerts a damping force on the housing side part counteracting the spring force.
