Abstract
A roller shade assembly for motor vehicle applications. For covering an interior compartment area of a motor vehicle. The assembly of this invention is mounted in such a manner that the flexible shade panel is extended in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, or in the 'cross-body' direction. This orientation eliminates the requirement that the roller tube assembly be removable from the vehicle to avoid obstructing the cargo compartment when large items are placed in it or when the cargo compartment is enlarged by folding forward a rear seat back. The configuration further enables the shade to be extended and retracted either from the rear vehicle cargo door or from within the vehicle.
