Abstract

A shading arrangement of a transparent roof section of a passenger car, having a flat shading element displaceable between a shading position and an uncovering position and having a lower side facing towards a vehicle interior and an upper side facing towards a vehicle environment. An indirect illuminating device can be provided which illuminates the shading element from the upper side and/or the lower side. The shading element can have a lighting effect material that interacts with the illuminating device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A shading arrangement of a transparent roof section of a passenger car, comprising: an areal shading element which is displaceable between a shading position and an uncovering position and comprises a lower side facing towards a vehicle interior and an upper side facing towards a vehicle environment, wherein an indirect illuminating device is provided, and the shading element comprises a light effect material which interacts with the illuminating device, the indirect illuminating device illuminating the shading element from the upper side and/or the lower side, wherein the lighting effect material is made of a phosphorescent and/or fluorescent material which is arranged at the lower side and/or the upper side of the shading element or the lighting effect material is formed by phosphorescent and/or fluorescent thread or the lighting effect material is made of a reflective material or the lighting effect material comprises a diffusor material.

2. The shading arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the phosphorescent and/or fluorescent material is an imprinted paste.

3. The shading arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective material is made of reflective thread.

4. The shading arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the shading element comprises a textile web that is a roller blind web.

5. The shading arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the textile web is illuminated from the upper side and is formed as a spacer fabric which is provided with the phosphorescent and/or fluorescent material on the upper side.

6. The shading arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the illuminating device is integrated into a tension bow of the textile web.

7. A shading arrangement of a transparent roof section of a passenger car, comprising: an areal shading element which is a sliding headliner and which can be displaced between a shading position and an uncovering position and which comprises a lower side facing a vehicle interior and an upper side facing a vehicle environment, wherein an indirect illuminating device is provided which is integrated into a rigid and areal carrier body of the sliding headliner, and in that a lighting effect material is arranged on the carrier body and interacts with the illuminating device, wherein the lighting effect material is made of a phosphorescent and/or fluorescent material which is arranged at the lower side and/or the upper side of the shading element or the lighting effect material is made of phosphorescent and/or fluorescent thread, or the lighting effect material is made of a reflective material.

8. The shading arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the phosphorescent and/or fluorescent material is an imprinted paste.

9. The shading arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the reflective material is made of reflective thread.

10. The shading arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the shading element comprises a textile web.

11. The shading arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the shading element is guided in lateral guide tracks and the illuminating device is arranged at the guide tracks.

12. The shading arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the illuminating device comprises LEDs.

13. The shading arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the illuminating device comprises a light conductor.

14. The shading arrangement according to claim 13 , wherein the light conductor comprises at least one LED arranged at at least one end of the light conductor.
