A roller blind arrangement for a motor vehicle for shading a transparent vehicle section having a roller blind web which can be wound up to form a roller blind winding and is guided at its lateral edges in relation to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the roller blind in each case in a guide rail, as well as a drive device having a drive pinion which drives two driving means each of which is guided in a guide track of one of the guide rails. The driving means are each designed as a toothed belt which has an essentially rectangular cross section and comprises a toothing on at least one side, the teeth of said toothing extending at least approximately perpendicular to the plane of the unwound roller blind web between a lower side of the toothed belt and an upper side of the toothed belt.

A retractable trailer enclosure system includes a flexible cover, rotatable winding spindle moveable by way of a spindle guide assembly. The spindle guide assembly includes a drive assembly actuable to rotate the spindle, a shuttle assembly mounting a spindle end and a guide track assembly which guides the shuttle assembly in reciprocal movement along both a vertical cover deployment/retraction path, and laterally along a spindle storage path.

An open roof construction for a vehicle comprises a rollo assembly. The rollo assembly comprises a rollo screen and a winding shaft for the rollo screen which is rotatable around a stationary axis of rotation. The rollo screen firstly extends in a first direction, next around a reversal member and finally back in an opposite second direction and ends at a rollo screen edge which is attached to a stationary member. The rollo screen has two longitudinal edges which, when the rollo screen is wound off, are brought into engagement with holding members. The longitudinal edges of the rollo screen each comprise a hooking member insertable into a holding groove and hook behind a narrow entrance thereof. A reversal member is provided with a device acting on at least one of the hooking member and holding groove to enable the hooking member to enter and exit the holding groove

A roof module includes: a roof panel; a pair of guide rails mounted on an inner surface of the roof panel and extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle; a shade sheet guided by the guide rails; a winding device supported by the guide rails and configured to wind up the shade sheet and a drive source configured to drive the shade sheet in an unwinding direction and a winding direction. The winding device and the drive source are arranged in a concentrated manner on a rear end side of the guide rails, and no cross member connecting the guide rails is provided on a front end side of the guide rails.

A vehicle shade apparatus is provided on a roof of a vehicle. The vehicle shade apparatus includes: a shade; a winding member that winds the shade; a spool member attached to the winding member so as to rotate coaxially and integrally with the winding member; a string that has one end fixed to the spool member and is wound around the spool member; a drive device that pulls the string to rotate the spool member and the winding member in a winding direction of the shade; and a position adjustment mechanism that enables adjustment of a fixing position of the string in the spool member in a circumferential direction of the winding member.

A roof module includes: a roof panel; a pair of guide rails mounted on an inner surface of the roof panel and extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle; a shade sheet guided by the guide rails; a winding device supported by the guide rails and configured to wind up the shade sheet and a drive source configured to drive the shade sheet in an unwinding direction and a winding direction. The winding device and the drive source are arranged in a concentrated manner on a rear end side of the guide rails, and no cross member connecting the guide rails is provided on a front end side of the guide rails.

The present invention relates to a self-propelled earth working machine (10) for removing material and/or changing a density of ground material and/or changing a ground surface (AO) and/or applying material onto a ground area (U), the earth working machine (10) comprising: a machine frame (12), a traveling gear (22) supporting the machine frame (12), a working apparatus (32) for earth working, a power source (39) for supplying power to at least one functional module, comprising the working apparatus (32) and a travel drive, the earth working machine (10) comprising an operator's platform (24) having a canopy (44) having a variable canopy area (54).
The invention provides for the canopy area (54) to be variable in the longitudinal machine direction (L).
