Abstract
A side window roll-up shade for a passenger car has bearing arrangement on both ends. One of the two bearing arrangements is provided with a threaded stem that extends over only a short distance of the wind-up shaft and which is anchored either in the wind-up shaft or the car body. Therefore, the assembly is limited to those parts responsible for axial movement on the associated wind-up shaft end.
Claims17
A side window roll-up shade assembly for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a roll-up shade;
- a pull-rod fixed to a first edge of the roll-up shade;
- a wind-up shaft, the wind-up shaft being fixed to a second end of the roll-up shade and having first and second ends;
- a spring motor for biasing the wind-up shaft in a wind-up direction;
- a first wind-up shaft bearing arrangement for supporting the first end of the wind-up such that the wind-up shaft can perform rotational and translational movements;
- and
- a second wind-up shaft bearing arrangement for supporting the second of the wind-up shaft such that the wind-up shaft can perform rotational and translational movements;
- wherein the first or the second wind-up shaft bearing arrangement has a threaded stem and a threaded bore engageable with the threaded stem for enabling the wind-up shaft to make a translational movement as the wind-up shaft rotates about its longitudinal axis.
