The invention relates to a frame, comprising, on each of its two sides relative to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the roof, a respective longitudinal beam made of sheet metal and at least one transverse beam made of sheet metal and connecting the two longitudinal beams to each other. The longitudinal beams and the at least one transverse beam are connected to each other via joint lines made of polyurethane foam. Moreover, a method for producing the frame is proposed.

Frame of a vehicle roof and production thereof

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.

Roller blind arrangement having driving means for laterally guiding a roller blind web

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.

Roller blind arrangement having lateral guidance

A vehicle roller blind arrangement, with a roller blind web that can be wound or unwound in an extension direction, a band-shaped guide element that extends along the extension direction and is guidable in a guide rail, which can be coupled fixedly to a vehicle, in such a manner that said guide element extends parallel to the roller blind web, and a band element that extends along the extension direction and is arranged between the roller blind web and the guide element and, on a first longitudinal side, is coupled fixedly to the roller blind web and, on a second longitudinal side, is coupled fixedly to the guide element. The band element has a T-shaped or Y-shaped cross section, is formed of a different material from the roller blind web, and has a smaller material thickness than the roller blind web. In addition, the invention relates to correspondingly configured subassemblies and roof arrangements.

Vehicle roller blind arrangement, subassembly with a vehicle roller blind arrangement, and roof arrangement

A wind deflector for a partially releasable opening of a roof of a motor vehicle, which can be closed by means of a mobile roof part, said opening comprising a glass element forming an edge of the roof opening and/or part of the roof, a connection element which is fixed to an edge section of the glass element, facing the interior of the motor vehicle, a detachable element which can be detached from the glass element, and a clampable deflector element which is fixed to the detachable element with one of the edge sections thereof and to the connection element with the other edge section thereof.

Wind deflector in the field of motor vehicles

A guide device for a movable roof element of an openable vehicle roof with a guide sliding block connected to the roof element and with a guide unit which has two guide surfaces which route the guide sliding block between themselves and which are pointed in opposite directions, one of the guide surfaces being held on the guide unit to be able to move relative to the guide sliding block and being pretensioned relative to the other guide surface by a spring mechanism, the spring mechanism having at least two spring elements which are located in a parallel connection on the guide unit. Preferably, the component which contains the slide surface is supported by the first spring element on the first support site of the guide unit and by the second spring element on the second support site of the guide unit.
