A protective device including a flexible fabric shiftable longitudinally between different functional positions, and provided on opposite side edges with respective stiffening strips guided in a manner shiftable longitudinally in vehicle-mounted guide tracks. A pull-out profile extends transversely with respect to the longitudinal shifting direction of the fabric and is connected to an end region thereof. The pull-out profile is guided in the vehicle-mounted guide tracks by guide elements, and each stiffening strip is fastened on the end side to a respective guide element. Each stiffening strip has at least three receptacles provided one behind another in the longitudinal shifting direction, and the guide element is assigned at least three profiling portions spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal shifting direction and projecting into the receptacles in a form-fitting manner transversely with respect to the longitudinal shifting direction.

Protective device for a vehicle interior

The invention relates to a method for attaching guide means () to a flexible sheet (), preferably as part of a shading system for a vehicle, and to a device provided therefor. Holding regions (), spaced apart from one another in a Y-direction, of a flexible sheet () extending in an X-direction and a Y-direction are spaced apart from one another by being acted upon with a predetermined pretensioning force (F) acting in the Y-direction, with the result that a pretension state is achieved. Subsequently, in a further processing state which corresponds to the pretension state or to a pretension state relieved by the amount of a predetermined relief distance (S) in the Y-direction with respect to the pretension state, guide means () extending parallel to one another in the X-direction and spaced apart from one another in the Y-direction are fastened to the sheet ().
