Roll-up blind with stowable guiding members for the window of a vehicle

Abstract

A roll-up window blind ( ) for automobile rear windows panes ( ) has two actuating levers ( ) with which the pullrod ( ) is moved in the direction of reeling-out or reeling-in of the blind material ( ). The levers ( ) are borne in such manner that, in the reeled-out state, the pullrod ( ) is pressed with a tension force against the rear window pane ( ). In order to avoid any damage to the heating wires, the pullrod ( ) is provided on its ends with guide elements ( ), which are mounted movably on the pullrod ( ). With the blind ( ) reeled out, they project over the outer contour of the pullrod ( ) and, as they themselves come to lie on the rear window pane ( ), they hold the pullrod ( ) at a distance from the rear window pane ( ). On reeling-in they are retracted behind the outer contours of the pullrod ( ), so that they can be retracted into the slot ( ) from which the blind material emerges, and, namely, without recesses for the guide elements being necessary on the slot edges ( ).
