A shading device for a window of a motor vehicle with a sheet-like structure which is held on a winding shaft so as to be able to be wound up and unwound between a wound-up inoperative position and a stretched protective position. The winding shaft is mounted rotatably in a vehicle-mounted receiving space closable by a closing part mounted pivotably between a closed position and an opening position. The sheet-like structure is provided with a pull-out profile shiftable parallel along the window by a drive system. The closing part is controlled by a control mechanism between two different opening positions, of which a first opening position opens up an opening permitting passage of the pull-out profile, and a second opening position opens up a reduced opening selected to be of a size sufficient in order to permit the sheet-like structure to pass through without contact.

A roller blind for shading a transparent vehicle section having a roller blind web which can be wound up to form a roller blind reel and which is guided in a guide rail at each of its lateral edges on either side of a longitudinal center plane of the roller blind, and two driving means, each of which is guided in a guide track of one of the guide rails. Each driving means is formed by a toothed belt which has a substantially rectangular cross-section and a toothing on at least one side whose teeth run at least approximately parallel to the plane of the unwound roller blind web in the transverse direction of the respective guide rail, the roller blind web being pressed between the toothed belt underside having the toothing and a bottom of the guide track and being deflected in the guide track by the toothed belt.

Shading device for a transparent surface part of a motor vehicle having a flexible shading structure, two non-parallel lateral guide arrangements fixed with respect to the vehicle and having a dimensionally stable pull-out profile displaceable in parallel fashion by in each case one guide carriage in the respective lateral guide arrangement via a drive device, lateral shading structure sections protruding, in a manner dependent on the displacement travel of the shading structure, into lateral receiving spaces fixed with respect to the vehicle. To the lateral shading structure sections, there are fastened in each case two support bodies spaced apart from one another in the pulling-out direction of the shading structure and the thickness of which is greater than a thickness of the respective shading structure sections. The support bodies are guided in transversely supported fashion with play in complementary support channel sections of the receiving spaces.

A shading device for a rear window arrangement of a motor vehicle having a shading structure arranged so as to be shiftable relative to the rear window arrangement between a compactly stored inoperative position and an extended shading position, and with a dimensionally stable extension profile arranged on an end region, at the front in the extension direction, of the shading structure, the extension profile being guided so as to be shiftable in parallel in vehicle-mounted, lateral guide arrangements. The extension profile having two different visible contours positionable into different functional positions by rotation about a longitudinal axis of the extension profile, is known. The extension profile is mounted on opposite end sides by respective ball and socket joint so as to be pivotable about the longitudinal axis relative to lateral guide elements guided in the lateral guide arrangements.

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 shading device includes a shading curtain and a drawing device. The shading curtain includes a first and second shading layer that have at least two types of light transmission areas with different light transmission properties. The drawing device includes a first and second drawing member. The first drawing member is connected with the first shading layer and is configured to draw the first shading layer. The second drawing member is connected with the second shading layer and is configured to draw the second shading layer. The first and second drawing members are movable relative to each other between a first relative position and a second relative position. The first and the second shading layers parallelly move relative to each other. In the first relative position, the shading curtain has a first light transmission property, and in the second relative position, the shading curtain has a second light transmission property.

A protection device for a vehicle interior having a flexible planar formation movable between stored rest and tensioned protection positions. The formation is provided at a front end region in a tensioning direction with a dimensionally stable draw-out profile member guided between the rest and protection positions by at least one guide arrangement. The draw-out profile member includes a longitudinal compensator to compensate for deviations between movement directions of the guide arrangement and the draw-out profile member. The guide arrangement has at least one linearly guided carrier element, and the draw-out profile member includes an undercut compensation groove which extends in the longitudinal direction of the draw-out profile member and which is open towards the carrier. The carrier comprises a longitudinally displaceable sliding or rolling element which is retained in a positive-locking manner in the receiving groove in the opening direction of the compensation groove.
