Abstract
A roller blind for opening and closing the opening of a compartment, a storage box, a control console or similar enclosure, in particular for use in motor vehicles, is disclosed. At least one support element and at least one elastic layer disposed on the support element are included. Each support element has a curvature in its longitudinal direction with a deflection in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the opening to be closed by the roller blind. A method for the production of a roller blind is also disclosed.
Claims25
A roller blind for movably opening and closing an enclosure defining an enclosure opening in a motor vehicle, the enclosure opening defining an opening plane, the roller blind having a plurality of support elements disposed parallel to each other at approximately equal distances from each other, each support element having an upper side and a lower side;
- at least one layer made of elastic material disposed on the upper side of and connecting the support elements to each other and overlying the support elements, whereby a continuously closed outer surface is obtained, and a padding is disposed on the support elements below the at least one layer made of elastic material, wherein the upper side of each support element has a first curvature in a longitudinal direction and the lower side of each support element has a second curvature, with the first curvature and the second curvature extending in a direction away from the opening plane and outwardly from the enclosure opening, each support element comprising a tab at each end thereof, each tab constructed and arranged to slidably engage a corresponding guide in each of two opposing side walls of the enclosure.
A roller blind for movably opening and closing an enclosure defining an opening in a motor vehicle, the roller blind comprising:
- a plurality of support elements, each support element having an outwardly facing surface and an inwardly facing surface, the outwardly facing surface having a first curvature in a longitudinal direction and the inwardly facing surface having a second curvature in a longitudinal direction, the first curvature and the second curvature each extending in a direction away from the opening and outwardly from the enclosure;
- a layer made of elastic material disposed on the plurality of support elements to connect the plurality of support elements together;
- and
- padding disposed on the at least one support element below the layer of elastic material.
A roller blind for movably opening and closing an enclosure defining an opening in a motor vehicle, the roller blind comprising:
- a plurality of support elements, each support element having an outwardly facing surface and an inwardly facing surface, the outwardly facing surface having a first curvature in a longitudinal direction and the inwardly facing surface having a second curvature in a longitudinal direction, the first curvature and the second curvature each extending in a direction away from the opening and outwardly from the enclosure;
- a layer made of elastic material disposed on the plurality of support elements to connect the plurality of support elements together;
- and
- padding disposed on the support elements below the layer of elastic material, and wherein the roller blind is disposed in an armrest region of the motor vehicle.
