Protection device for the passenger compartment of a vehicle

Protection device for a vehicle interior compartment, comprising a flexible planar structure which is displaceable between a pulled-out protective position and a rest position, wherein the planar structure is connected to a dimensionally stable pull-out profile on a face end region that is in front in the pull-out direction, which profile is mounted for longitudinal displacement on each of its opposite sides in a respective guiding structure disposed fixed to the vehicle in the ready-for-use condition, wherein a respective cable pull is installed in each guiding structure, each cable pull engaging on a respective one of sliding bodies slidingly mounted in the guiding structure, which sliding body is connected to the pull-out profile such that a torque introduced into the pull-out profile by a point of application of the cable pull on the sliding body and a counter-torque introduced into the pull-out profile by the planar structure are configured, relative to a longitudinal axis of the pull-out profile extending transversely to the pull-out direction, such that the sliding bodies and the pull-out profile are held in equilibrium during a displacement move.
