A shading blind for a roof window of a motor vehicle having two guide rails, a roller blind element which has two lateral, flexible guide structures with which it is guided in the guide rails, and a receiving space for the roller blind element, the roller blind element being adjustable between an extended position in which it is largely located outside the receiving space, and a retracted position in which it is largely located in the receiving space, wherein the receiving space has a length which is approximately half of the adjustment path between the extended and the retracted positions, the height of the receiving space is such that when the roller blind element is deflected in the receiving space by approximately 180&#xb0;, the guide structures are only elastically deformed and a rear edge of the roller blind element is permanently attached in the receiving space.

A sliding roof system includes at least one guide rail, a carriage that is shiftable in the guide rail, and a cover support which together with a cover can be adjusted by shifting the carriage between a closed position, a lifted venting position, and a lowered open position. The cover support is provided with studs that engage in the carriage. The carriage is located outside a contour of the cover as seen in a top view of the sliding roof system.

Sliding roof system

A sliding roof system includes at least one cover, two guide rails, and first and second carriages that are movable in the two guide rails. The sliding roof system also includes first and second holding parts that are each coupled with one of the first and second carriages and that are each coupled with a rear edge of the cover. The first and second holding parts can be shifted between a first position in which there is a first clearance between the first and second holding parts, and a second position in which there is a second clearance between the first and second holding parts that is larger than the first clearance.

A mechanism for a sun roof has at least one guide rail, a lifting slide that can be moved along the guide rail, and a guide slide that can be locked in the guide rail in an initial position. The guide slide can be moved in the guide rail once the guide slide is unlocked. A cover holder is coupled to the lifting slide and the guide slide in such a way that the cover can be moved between a closed position and an opened position.

A window blind for a sliding roof system having a flexible material and two guide elements extending along the longitudinal edges of the flexible material. The guide elements engage in a guide associated with a corresponding longitudinal edge. The guide element is a flat strip that is fastened to a longitudinal edge of the flexible material so that it can be wound up together with the window blind.

The invention relates to a window blind for a sliding roof system includes a flexible material and two flat spiral springs that extend along the longitudinal edges of the window blind. The flat spiral springs tend to contract into a spiral shape, winding the flexible material into a coil.

A sunshade system for a motor vehicle has two guide rails, a front crossbar and a rear crossbar that extend between the two guide rails and are guided therein, and a flexible sunshade that is fastened to the front and rear crossbars and is guided between the two guide rails.

Sunshade system for a motor vehicle

A sunshade assembly for a vehicle roof has a window shade that is movable along guide rails toward the front and rear of the vehicle. Drive elements are connected to a front edge of the window shade, and rotatable tension wheels are mounted to the guide rail and coupled with the drive elements to pull taut a front portion of the window shade disposed between the front edge and the tension wheels.

A roller blind system for a vehicle roof includes a rotatable coiling body and a roller blind that is attached at one end to the coiling body and at the other end to a vehicle portion in a stationary manner. The coiling body is shiftable in a translational motion, allowing the roller blind to uncoil and coil up while minimizing frictional forces on the roller blind.

An air deflector for a vehicle roof has a first holding element attached to the vehicle roof, a second holding element that is movable between a lowered position and a raised position, a flexible deflector element secured to the two holding elements, and at least one flexible positioning element that pushes the deflector element in a predetermined direction when the first holding element is moved from the raised to the lowered position. The positioning element urges the deflector element into the predetermined direction to prevent the deflector element from interfering with other vehicle components.

A vehicle roof module is interlocked releasably yet securely directly with the body frame (), which encompasses an upper body opening, or indirectly with a frame covering () which is fastened to the frame. The interlocking elements () are only accessible from the vehicle interior in order to release the interlock and also only after previously elastically bending over a portion of the inner shell () of the roof module, which covers the locking elements (). The roof module can be easily assembled, dissassembled and also replaced and thus has properties of a hardtop.

Vehicle roof module

A sliding roof for a motor vehicle comprises a shiftable cover arranged for opening and closing a vehicle roof and at least one electrical light source attached to the cover.

Sliding roof for a motor vehicle

A frame is provided for a vehicle sliding sunroof or slide-and-tilt sunroof, essentially comprising a plastic injection molded front member with molded on corner areas and two metal side members fixed by way of the corner areas, guide tubes being incorporated into the front member and adjoining guide channels being arranged in the side members, which together and affording compressive rigidity carry drive cables For movements of a cover in relation to a roof opening of the roof structure. The associated guide tubes and the guide channels do not come into contact with one another, but are isolated from one another by intervals, which are spanned by connectors, so that vibrations of the guide tubes originating from the cable drive system cannot be transmitted to the metal side members. The ends of the guide tubes and the inlet ends of the guide channels separated at an interval therefrom, together with the hollow space spanning the ends are of special stepless design in order to prevent noises during drive cable displacements.

Frame for a vehicle sliding sunroof or slide-and-tilt sunroof

A vehicle roof module is proposed, consisting of a transparent roof skin, constituting the outer shell of a sandwich structure, and of an inner shell of the sandwich structure, the special feature thereof being that the inner shell is molded in the manner of a frame and is provided only in the edge area of the outer shell, thereby forming a panoramic transparent surface, a sun-blind being arranged beneath the transparent surface, which is held on the inner shell by elements foamed into the frame-type inner shell.

Modular vehicle roof

A sandwich structure includes a deep-drawn outer skin and a plastic layer foamed onto the inner side of the outer skin. The plastic layer provides a decorative plastic film on its upper surface and a frame at its outer edge. An encircling canting about the plastic layer retains a sheathing that is provided over the entire flat area of the outer skin to increase the modulus of elasticity of the plastic layer.
