Abstract

A cargo space cover for vehicles including a roller blind which is fixated with a first edge at a winding shaft and which includes a tension rod at a second edge that is remote from the winding shaft; a winding shaft drive which acts against a pull out movement of the roller blind and which moves the roller blind from a pulled out position into a pulled in position; and a support device which cooperates with the tension rod and by which the roller blind is movable into an intermediary position that releases a vehicle cargo space at least partially, wherein a positioning drive is provided in addition to the winding shaft drive, wherein the positioning drive moves the tension rod which moves the roller blind into at least one intermediary position.

Claims

1. A cargo space cover for vehicles, comprising:

a roller blind which is fixated with a first edge of the roller blind at a winding shaft and which includes a tension rod at a second edge which is remote from the winding shaft;

a winding shaft drive which acts against a pull out movement of the roller blind and which moves the roller blind from a pulled out position into a pulled in position; and

a support device which cooperates with the tension rod and by which the roller bond is movable into an intermediary position that releases a vehicle cargo space at least partially,

wherein a positioning drive is provided in addition to the winding shaft drive, and

wherein the positioning drive moves the tension rod which moves the roller blind into at least one intermediary position,

wherein the support device is a support profile that is arranged at a vehicle body,

wherein at least one end of the tension rod engages the support profile,

wherein the support profile includes a lower profile groove end and an upper profile groove end,

wherein the support profile includes a first seat for the tension rod,

wherein the tension rod is retained in a cover position within the first seat and against the winding shaft drive, and

wherein the support profile includes a second seat for the tension rod and wherein the tension rod is supported in the second seat against the winding shaft drive in the intermediary position of the tension rod between the lower profile groove end and the upper profile groove end.

2. The cargo space cover according to claim 1,

wherein a slide is arranged in the support profile,

wherein the slide supports the tension rod against the winding shaft drive, and

wherein the positioning drive moves the slide which moves the roller blind into the intermediary position.

3. A cargo space cover for vehicles, comprising:

a roller blind which is fixated with a first edge of the roller blind at a winding shaft and which includes a tension rod at a second edge which is remote from the winding shaft;

a winding shaft drive which acts against a pull out movement of the roller blind and which moves the roller blind from a pulled out position into a pulled in position; and

a support device which cooperates with the tension rod and by which the roller blind is movable into an intermediary position that releases a vehicle cargo space at least partially,

wherein the support device is a support profile that is arranged at a vehicle body,

wherein at least one end of the tension rod engages the support profile,

wherein the support profile includes at least one inlet through which the at least one end of the tension rod is insertable into the support profile or removable from the support,

wherein the profile forms a stop,

wherein the stop is arranged opposite to the inlet

wherein the stop provides a tactile marking of the inlet,

wherein the tension rod is manually movable within the support profile.
