Abstract
The invention relates to a laminar masking device, particularly for use in/on vehicles, comprising a plurality of surface sections mutually flexible with common bending axes, which are transferable alternately into two required bending positions and are retained therein. In order that the masking device may be particularly well adapted in the structural context to existing space conditions, it is flexible only at an obtuse angle at each bending axis located between two adjacent surface sections. A plurality of mutually aligned surface sections of the masking device are constructed as narrow connecting strips, and all the surface sections of the masking device are retained in the required mutual bending position by self-locking at the bending axes.
