  • Patent number: 9227486
    Abstract: The invention proposes a shading arrangement having a first look-through region and a second look-through region, having a first shading unit for the first look-through region and a second shading unit for the second look-through region, wherein the two shading units include one shading element, respectively, on which a drive means either directly or indirectly acts on both sides, respectively at a lateral guide rail in relation to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the roof. On both sides, in relation to the vertical longitudinal center plane of the roof, one coupling tube is arranged, respectively, said coupling tube connecting the guide rails of the two shading units to one another, which are respectively arranged on one side of the vertical longitudinal center plane, and guiding the drive means of the second shading unit, which is driven by the drive means of the first shading unit.

  • Publication number: 20080258508
    Abstract: The invention relates to a extendable wind deflector for a sliding roof of a motor vehicle, which comprises a wind deflector profile (15) provided with at least one air guiding wall (16). Said profile is open along the longitudinal extension thereof in at least one area which is oriented away from the air guiding wall (16) and comprises a sealing device (29) along the longitudinal extension thereof which co-operates with the roof section (8) of the vehicle body in at least one operational position. The at least one open area of the wind deflector profile (15) is covered by means of a covering device (25), such that a wind deflector (10) is obtained with a profile which is closed in the cross-section.
