Claim:
1. A protective device for a vehicle interior, comprising: a winding shaft; a flexible covering structure mounted on said winding shaft for movement between a rest position in which said flexible covering structure is wound around said winding shaft and at least one extended protective position in which said flexible covering structure is partially unwound from said winding shaft, said flexible covering structure having first and second laterally-spaced sides oriented transversely to said winding shaft and an end region oriented transversely to said first and second sides, said end region being spaced remotely from said winding shaft when said flexible covering structure is disposed in said at least one extended protective position; a first guiding member fixed to said first side of said flexible covering structure adjacent said end region thereof and a second guiding member fixed to said second side of said flexible covering structure adjacent to said end region thereof; and a drive system comprising a drive motor and a drive transmission arrangement operatively connecting said drive motor to said first and second guiding members to cause synchronous displacement thereof, said drive transmission arrangement including a revolving pull drive mechanism connected to said first guiding member, said drive motor being drivingly connected to said revolving pull drive mechanism, both said drive motor and said revolving pull drive mechanism being disposed closely adjacent to said first side of said flexible covering structure and closer to said first side than to said second side, said drive transmission arrangement further including a push-pull element guidingly mounted for movement along a translational path leading to said second guide member, said second guide member being connected to and displaceably movable by said push-pull element, said push-pull element being coupled to said revolving pull drive mechanism.
