  • Patent number: 6796599
    Abstract: For closing the outlet slit of a window shade in a rear window shelf of a motor vehicle, a winding shaft of the rear window shade is seated in a window shade support which is movable in relation to the underside of the rear window shelf. By reason of such arrangement, it is possible either to use the window shade support itself for closing the slit when the window shade web is in the retracted position, or the winding shaft can be moved to close to the slit.

  • Patent number: 6776211
    Abstract: A window shade for motor vehicles has a window shade web material 14 which is designed for being adapted during retraction and extension to the shape of the window, namely in respect to the width dimensions and/or in respect to the curvature. To this end, the window shade web material 14 is made either from a window shade web which can be expanded or stretched in the transverse direction, or from two or more non-expandable window shade webs 15 and 16 which, in the extended state, approximate the shape of the respective window in the desired manner. An additional mounting frame 65 can be used in all cases, in which the elements which are parts of the window shade are arranged, or stored, in order to create a component in this way, which can be installed as a whole in the vehicle on the assembly line.

  • Publication number: 20040066059
    Abstract: A windup window shade is provided with windup window shade means which, in the extracted state, make possible different degrees of opacity at the window. To this end, the two window shade web can either be wound on separate windup shafts and spread out in the same direction from the same starting point, or the two window shade webs have been connected with each other and, after having been extended, are moved in the manner of a film in front of the window. Two windup shafts are employed in both cases, wherein in the one case the two windup shafts are located directly next to each other, while in the other case the windup shafts are separated from each other during the extension of the shade.

  • Patent number: 6715525
    Abstract: A separation device for a motor vehicle, with a flexible flat shaped article, which is held on a winding shaft located in a box housing between a rolled-in rest position and a pulled-out protective position which is rigidly connected to the vehicle with holding devices, in a manner so it can be rolled in and rolled out, where a return spring arrangement applies pressure in the roll-in direction onto the winding shaft. According to the invention, the return spring arrangement is formed by a series or parallel connection of a stronger wound spring and a weaker convenience spring, where the switching is designed in such a manner that, between the rolled-up rest position and a first pull-out position, the stronger roll-up force is applied, and, from the first pull-out position on, for a limited time, a smaller roll-up force is applied, for the transfer into the suspended protective position, and in that the wound spring is associated with a damping element.

  • Patent number: 6598929
    Abstract: A windup window shade for motor vehicles has a rotatably seated windup shaft, on which a window shade web is fastened by an edge. The other edge is fastened on a traction rod, whose ends are guided in guide rails. The distance between the guide rails changes very greatly, viewed in the direction of movement of the window shade web, because of which the length of the traction rod can be changed in a telescope-like manner. It is composed of a center element and two end elements, wherein it is provided with the aid of a centering device that the center element always remains centered in respect to the end elements.

  • Patent number: 6547307
    Abstract: A windup window shade has a windup shaft and a window shade web fastened on it. The window shade web is provided with a traction rod, which is moved at both ends by means of drive members along the guide rails. A compensating device is provided to compensate assembly tolerances or shape tolerances, which assures that too great tensions extending parallel with the windup shaft do not occur in the window shade web, which would lead to obliquely extending waves in the extended window shade web.
