Shading device for a vehicle interior including a flexible shading structure displaceable between a compactly stored rest position and a deployed shading position and which is provided with a pull-out profile on an end region. The pull-out profile has a central portion and on opposite end sides of the central portion has telescopic shiftable guiding portions which are displaceable in vehicle-related guidances. A shield is disposed on the central portion and is mounted to be movable relative to the central portion between a rest condition and a functional condition, and a forced control device is provided for displacement of the shield in at least one direction between the rest condition and the functional condition to displace the shield in response to a shifting movement of at least one guiding portion.

Shading device for a vehicle interior

A retractable cover system includes a frame that provides an opening and includes laterally spaced apart guide rails and includes a drive system. A flexible cover has laterally opposing edge portions with intermittent retainers received in the guide rails. The retainers are configured to slide relative to the guide rails between first and second positions within the opening in response to actuation of the drive system. Multiple spaced apart bows extend laterally between guide rails. The bows provide a laterally and outwardly extending arc that maintains tension on the flexible cover laterally between the retainers.

Automated soft tonneau cover

A retractable cover system includes a frame that provides an opening and a drive system. A flexible cover is configured to slide relative to the frame between first and second positions within the opening in response to actuation of the drive system. Multiple spaced apart bows are configured to slide relative to the frame and relative to the flexible cover.

A retractable cover system includes a frame that provides an opening. A drive system includes a motor operatively connected to a main roller through a first drive element. A resilient member is interconnected between the motor and a second drive element. The main roller is connected to one of the first and second drive elements. A flexible cover is mounted to the main roller and is configured to slide relative to the frame between first and second positions within the opening in response to actuation of the drive system.

Protective device with a flexible sheet-like structure movable between a compactly stored position and at least one two-dimensionally extended functional position and which is provided, on an end region thereof with a dimensionally stable extension profile which, at opposite ends, has retaining profile sections mounted so as to be displaceable telescopically to a limited extent in the extension profile and acted upon outwardly in the longitudinal direction of the extension profile by a spring arrangement. Each retaining profile section is assigned a second spring arrangement which acts on the retaining profile section in the opposite direction to the first spring arrangement. The retaining profile section, in an unloaded non-operational position, is held on the extension profile in a central position, from which the retaining profile section can be shifted inward or outward in opposite longitudinal directions relative to the extension profile.

Protective device for a compartment section of a motor vehicle

A restraint device for a vehicle interior has a flexible planar structure movably mounted between a rest position and an extended function position and that is provided at its end area with a dimensionally stable pulling-out section, and the restraint device has at least one roof-side holder in which the pulling-out section is detachably fixed by at least one complementary securing section in the extended function position of the planar structure. The roof-side holder includes a receptacle and a stationary locking pawl arrangement mechanically matched to a movement distance of the at least one securing section during transfer from the rest position to the function position. The securing section during its upward travel presses the locking pawl arrangement into the release position, and the securing section enters the receptacle and the locking pawl arrangement automatically moves back into its locking position as soon as the securing section has entered the receptacle.
