Abstract

Shading device for a vehicle interior including a flexible shading structure displaceable between a compactly stored rest position and a deployed shading position and which is provided with a pull-out profile on an end region. The pull-out profile has a central portion and on opposite end sides of the central portion has telescopic shiftable guiding portions which are displaceable in vehicle-related guidances. A shield is disposed on the central portion and is mounted to be movable relative to the central portion between a rest condition and a functional condition, and a forced control device is provided for displacement of the shield in at least one direction between the rest condition and the functional condition to displace the shield in response to a shifting movement of at least one guiding portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A shading device for a vehicle interior, comprising a flexible shading structure displaceable between a compactly stored rest position and a deployed shading position, and a pull-out profile provided on a face end region of the flexible shading structure that is in front in a deployment direction, the pull-out profile having a central portion and telescopic shiftable guiding portions on opposite end sides of the central portion, the telescopic shiftable guiding portions being displaceable in vehicle-related guidances, wherein a shield is disposed on the central portion, the shield being mounted to be movable relative to the central portion between a rest condition and a functional condition, and a forced control device displaces the shield in at least one direction between the rest condition and the functional condition in response to a shifting movement of at least one of the guiding portions.

2. The shading device according to claim 1 , wherein the shield is pivotably mounted on the central portion.

3. The shading device according to claim 1 , wherein a return spring arrangement is assigned to the shield and exerting a permanent spring load on the shield towards the rest condition.

4. The shading device according to claim 1 , wherein a peripheral contour of the shield is matched to a vehicle-related boundary contour of a vehicle interior section in the region of the shading position of the shading structure in such a manner that the peripheral contour in the functional condition of the shield is aligned essentially flush with the vehicle-related boundary contour.

5. The shading device according to claim 1 , wherein the forced control device includes complementary mechanical control contours on the at least one of the guiding portions and on the shield, the control contours cooperate during a displacement movement of the pull-out profile between the rest position and the shading position.

6. The shading device according to claim 5 , wherein the control contours on the at least one of the guiding portions and on the shield are slidably displaceable in relation to each other.

7. The shading device according to claim 6 , wherein the control contours of the at least one of the guiding portions comprises a ramp surface in a face end region thereof that faces an opposite one of the guiding portions.

8. The shading device according to claim 7 , wherein control contours of the shield comprises at least one control cam which protrudes into a trajectory of the at least one of the guiding portions and is provided with a sliding contour that is matched to the ramp surface.

9. The shading device according to claim 1 , wherein the pull-out profile includes the forced control device and the forced control device has at least one control element movably mounted on the pull-out profile, the at least one control element being contactable with the shield for transferring the shield to the functional condition, the rest condition, or both the functional condition and the rest condition.

10. The shading device according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one control element is mounted on the central portion for linear movement transversely to a shifting movement of at least one guiding portion.

11. The shading device according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one control element is pivotably mounted on the guiding portion or the central portion.

12. The shading device according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one guiding portion and the at least one control element have mutually complementary control contours which contact one another for displacement movements of the control element and the guiding portion.

13. A shading device for a vehicle interior, comprising:
a flexible shading structure displaceable between a compactly stored rest position and a deployed shading position;
a pull-out profile provided on a face end region of the flexible shading structure that is in front in a deployment direction, the pull-out profile having a central portion and telescopic guiding portions on opposite end sides of the central portion, the telescopic guiding portions being telescopically received by the central portion, the telescopic guiding portions being displaceable in vehicle-related guides as the flexible shading structure is displaced between the compactly stored rest position and the deployed shading position;
a shield disposed on the central portion of the pull-out profile, the shield being mounted to be movable relative to the central portion between a rest condition and a functional condition; and
a forced control device displaces the shield in at least one direction between the rest condition and the functional condition in response to telescopic movement of at least one of the telescopic guiding portions in a direction transverse to the deployment direction of the flexible shading structure.

14. The shading structure according to claim 13 , wherein the telescopic guiding portions are each telescopically received within the central portion of the pull-out profile.

15. The shading device according to claim 13 , wherein the shield is pivotably mounted on the central portion.

16. The shading device according to claim 13 , wherein a return spring arrangement is assigned to the shield and exerting a permanent spring load on the shield towards the rest condition.

17. The shading device according to claim 13 , wherein the forced control device interacts with a ramp on the at least one of the telescopic guide portions to push the shield to functional condition.
