Abstract

Roller blind sheet for a protective device of a vehicle interior compartment, including a flexible structure which is displaceable between a pulled-out protective position and compactly stored rest position in a vehicle interior. The structure is associated with lateral reinforcing metal tapes on opposite longitudinal sides thereof, and in the assembled state the tapes are guided in vehicle-related, lengthwise shiftable guiding rails. On the longitudinal sides of the structure, thin connecting strands made of metal are fixed, which are welded to the respective metal tape using a plurality of welding spots spaced along the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal sides.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. Roller blind sheet for a protective device of a vehicle interior compartment, comprising a flexible structure which is displaceable between a pulled-out protective position and a compactly stored rest position in a vehicle interior, wherein the structure is associated with lateral reinforcing tapes on opposite longitudinal sides thereof, and in an assembled state said reinforcing tapes are each guided in a respective guiding rail to be lengthwise shiftable, wherein the reinforcing tapes are metal tapes,
wherein on each longitudinal side of the structure a respective connecting strand made of metal is fixed, which is welded to the respective reinforcing tape using a plurality of welding spots spaced along a longitudinal direction of the longitudinal sides.

2. Roller blind sheet according to claim 1 , wherein each reinforcing tape is associated with the respective connecting strand, wherein the reinforcing tape and the connecting strand are arranged on opposite surface sides of the structure and connected to each other across and through a material thickness of the structure.

3. Roller blind sheet according to claim 1 , wherein each connecting strand is designed as a metal string which is connected to the structure by textile weaves and laid out along the respective longitudinal side of the structure.

4. Roller blind sheet according to claim 1 , wherein at least one row of holes extending in the longitudinal direction is provided in the structure, which holes are traversed by one of the respective connecting strands and the respective connecting strand is connected to a respective one of the reinforcing tapes by corresponding welding spots through and across said holes.

5. Roller blind sheet according to claim 4 , wherein the connecting strands and the reinforcing tapes are made of steel.

6. Roller blind sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the structure is a textile fabric in the form of a woven or knitted fabric, or in the form of a single-layer or multi-layer film sheet.

7. Roller blind sheet according to claim 6 , wherein the connecting strands are incorporated into the woven or knitted fabric by textile techniques.
