Abstract
The invention relates to a device for covering a cargo space () of a motor vehicle, said cargo space being bordered by an outwardly pivotable vehicle lid (), in particular a trunk lid, said device comprising an extractable roller blind device () which can be driven at least in the retraction direction and which forms a roller blind web () which extends over an area in its extracted state between a first end () of the roller blind and a second end () of the roller blind, and first and second positioning means () arranged in the vehicle for positioning the first and/or second ends () of the roller blind(s) by means of which the roller blind web () can be extracted into a covering position in which the roller blind web () extends essentially horizontally over the cargo space (). To be able to bring the roller blind web easily out of the covering position into a position that facilitates access to the cargo space, according to the present invention, the first positioning means () are arranged separately from the vehicle lid () and the second positioning means () are arranged on the vehicle lid () so that the second end () of the roller blind is jointly pivotable due to the outward pivoting (A) of the vehicle lid () to bring the roller blind web () out of the covering position and into an inclined position.
