Abstract:
A roll-up window blind for window panes of motor vehicles comprising:a rotatable winding shaft; a blind material having parallel first and second edges with the first end being fastened to the winding shaft, the blind material being movable between a retracted and an extended position; a first drive mechanism for rotating the winding shaft in a direction corresponding to moving the blind material toward the retracted position; a pull rod fastened to the second edge of the blind material; an actuating element supported by a bearing and having an associated second drive arrangement for moving the actuating element from a first position, in which the pull rod is adjacent the winding shaft to a second position, in which the pull rod is farther away from the winding shaft than in the first position; two guide elements which are spaced from each other and are mounted on the pull rod in order to guide the pull rod on the window pane as the blind material moves between the retracted and extended positions; and a yield mechanism for each guide element which allows the associated guide element to yield in a direction perpendicular with respect to the window pane wherein each yield mechanism includes a mounting assembly which supports the respective guide element on the pull rod.
