A blind for a motor-vehicle rear window has a support, a roller rotatable in the support about a roller axis, and a motor mounted on the support and connected to the roller for rotating same about its axis. A flexible shade has one edge attached to the bar and an opposite edge attached to the roller. a pair of one-piece arms have outer ends slidable along the guide bar and inner ends spaced apart along the roller axis and pivoted on the support about respective arm axes transverse to the roller axis. Respective springs braced between the inner arm ends and the support urge the arms about the respective axes in a direction moving the outer arm ends away from the support.

Blind for motor-vehicle rear window

A cover for a motor-vehicle storage space has a winder fixed at an inner end of the space and a cover sheet secured in the winder, having an outer edge, and displaceable between a position wound up at the winder and a position extending from the winder above the space with its free edge at an opposite outer end of the space. A pair of like spaced apart guides flank the space and each extend from the inner end to the outer end. Respective entrainment elements are displaceable along the guides between the inner and outer ends and are each connected to the outer edge. Respective drive motors are connected to the entrainment elements for displacing the entrainment elements outward from the inner end to the outer end and inward from the outer end to the inner end. At least one of the motors is of variable speed. Respective speed sensors associated with the drives produce outputs corresponding to the displacement speeds of the respective entrainment elements and a controller connected to the sensors and to the one variable-speed motor compares the outputs of the sensors and varies an output speed of the one variable-speed motor so the entrainment elements move synchronously.
