Abstract: A shading blind for a roof window of a motor vehicle having two guide rails, a roller blind element which has two lateral, flexible guide structures with which it is guided in the guide rails, and a receiving space for the roller blind element, the roller blind element being adjustable between an extended position in which it is largely located outside the receiving space, and a retracted position in which it is largely located in the receiving space, wherein the receiving space has a length which is approximately half of the adjustment path between the extended and the retracted positions, the height of the receiving space is such that when the roller blind element is deflected in the receiving space by approximately 180°, the guide structures are only elastically deformed and a rear edge of the roller blind element is permanently attached in the receiving space.

Abstract: A sun-protection roller blind for a motor vehicle, with a flat roller blind body and two guide bands which extend along two edges of the roller blind body, in which the guide bands are made of plastic and the roller blind body is welded to the guide bands. A sliding roof system with two guide rails in which the guide bands of such a sun-protection roller blind are received. A method for producing such a sun-protection roller blind, in which the roller blind body is thermally welded to the guide bands by means of ultrasound or by means of a stamp.

Abstract: A shading blind for a roof window of a motor vehicle is disclosed, having two guide rails, a roller blind element which has two lateral, flexible guide structures with which it is guided in the guide rails, and a receiving space for the roller blind element, the roller blind element being adjustable between an extended position in which it is largely located outside the receiving space, and a retracted position in which it is largely located in the receiving space, wherein the receiving space, measured in the adjustment direction of the roller blind element, has a length which is approximately half of the adjustment path between the extended and the retracted positions, the height of the receiving space, measured perpendicularly to the plane of the roller blind element located between the guide rails, is such that when the roller blind element is deflected in the receiving space by approximately 180°, the guide structures are only elastically deformed and a rear edge of the roller blind element is permanently

Abstract: A sliding roof system includes at least one guide rail, a carriage that is shiftable in the guide rail, and a cover support which together with a cover can be adjusted by shifting the carriage between a closed position, a lifted venting position, and a lowered open position. The cover support is provided with studs that engage in the carriage. The carriage is located outside a contour of the cover as seen in a top view of the sliding roof system.

Abstract: A sliding roof system includes a cover adapted to be moved rearwardly above a roof element, a guide rail, and a front raising mechanism that raises a front edge of the cover outwardly. A rear raising mechanism raises a rear edge of the cover outwardly, and is coupled with the front raising mechanism.

Abstract: The invention relates to a raising mechanism for a sliding roof, comprising a guide rail, a pair of levers, and a carriage. Each lever has a guide rail side end and a cover side end, and the levers are pivotally coupled with each other through a joining axle. During traversing movement, the carriage exerts a vertical force on the joining axle and lifts the joining axle, in order to thereby move the pair of levers to a raised position. The invention further relates to a vehicle roof with such a raising mechanism.

Abstract: A sliding roof system includes at least one cover, two guide rails, and first and second carriages that are movable in the two guide rails. The sliding roof system also includes first and second holding parts that are each coupled with one of the first and second carriages and that are each coupled with a rear edge of the cover. The first and second holding parts can be shifted between a first position in which there is a first clearance between the first and second holding parts, and a second position in which there is a second clearance between the first and second holding parts that is larger than the first clearance.

Abstract: An assembly includes a vehicle folding top that can cover or expose a roof opening, and a roller blind that is arranged beneath the folding top when in a closed condition. The roller blind can fully or partly cover the roof opening exposed by the folding top.

Abstract: A mechanism for a sun roof has at least one guide rail, a lifting slide that can be moved along the guide rail, and a guide slide that can be locked in the guide rail in an initial position. The guide slide can be moved in the guide rail once the guide slide is unlocked. A cover holder is coupled to the lifting slide and the guide slide in such a way that the cover can be moved between a closed position and an opened position.

Abstract: A window blind for a sliding roof system having a flexible material and two guide elements extending along the longitudinal edges of the flexible material. The guide elements engage in a guide associated with a corresponding longitudinal edge. The guide element is a flat strip that is fastened to a longitudinal edge of the flexible material so that it can be wound up together with the window blind.

Abstract: The invention relates to a window blind for a sliding roof system includes a flexible material and two flat spiral springs that extend along the longitudinal edges of the window blind. The flat spiral springs tend to contract into a spiral shape, winding the flexible material into a coil.

Abstract: A sunshade system for a motor vehicle has two guide rails, a front crossbar and a rear crossbar that extend between the two guide rails and are guided therein, and a flexible sunshade that is fastened to the front and rear crossbars and is guided between the two guide rails.

Abstract: A sunshade assembly for a vehicle roof has a window shade that is movable along guide rails toward the front and rear of the vehicle. Drive elements are connected to a front edge of the window shade, and rotatable tension wheels are mounted to the guide rail and coupled with the drive elements to pull taut a front portion of the window shade disposed between the front edge and the tension wheels.

Abstract: A cover for a sliding roof system includes first and second guiding elements that are mounted to opposite sides of the cover in such a manner that their mutual distance is variable, and first and second pivot arbors that are formed on the cover so as to have a fixed distance between them. The cover also includes first and second adjusting elements. The first adjusting element is coupled to the first guiding element and mounted to the cover such that the first adjusting element can be rotated about the first pivot arbor. The second adjusting element is coupled to the second guiding element and mounted to the cover such that the second adjusting element can be rotated about the second pivot arbor. A first traction member is coupled to the first and second adjusting elements on one side of the respective first and second pivot arbors, and a second traction member is coupled to the first and second adjusting elements on an opposite side of the respective first and second pivot arbors.

Abstract: A roller blind system for a vehicle roof includes a rotatable coiling body and a roller blind that is attached at one end to the coiling body and at the other end to a vehicle portion in a stationary manner. The coiling body is shiftable in a translational motion, allowing the roller blind to uncoil and coil up while minimizing frictional forces on the roller blind.

Abstract: The invention relates to a guide rail for a window blind of a sliding roof system. The guide rail includes a retaining portion that attaches the guide rail to a vehicle. The guide rail also includes a guide portion that receives the window blind, and a resilient connecting portion which is arranged between the retaining portion and the guide portion.

Abstract: An air deflector for a vehicle roof has a first holding element attached to the vehicle roof, a second holding element that is movable between a lowered position and a raised position, a flexible deflector element secured to the two holding elements, and at least one flexible positioning element that pushes the deflector element in a predetermined direction when the first holding element is moved from the raised to the lowered position. The positioning element urges the deflector element into the predetermined direction to prevent the deflector element from interfering with other vehicle components.
