Abstract:
1. Shade arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising: at least one shade length and at least one roller tube for taking-up and unrolling the shade length, at least one flexible, flat guide strip connected to the shade length and having an inherently flat shape and extending along each of opposite side edge regions of the shade length in a drawing direction of the shade, and a guide at each side of the shade length for guiding a respective said guide strip in its inherently flat shape; wherein the guide contains a guide channel in which the respective guide strip is guided and which has an exit gap through which the shade length emerges from the guide, wherein the height of the exit gap of the guide channel is greater than the combined height of the guide strip, wherein the shade length is attached to an edge of the guide strip in a manner causing an inherent tension of the shade length to apply a torque to the edge of the guide strip that pulls the end of the guide strip against facing surfaces of the guide channel in a manner preventing the guide strip from emerging from the exit gap, and wherein the flat shape of the guide strip is maintained as it travels within the guide channel and as it travels from within the guide channel to and from the at least one roller tube wherein the edge of the guide strip to which the shade length is attached is an outermost edge that is closest to said exit gap, wherein a rib projects substantially perpendicular to the drawing direction into the guide channel in the vicinity of said exit gap, wherein a step is provided at an inner area of the guide channel away from the exit gap and projecting in a direction opposed to the rib, wherein the guide strip is disposed between the rib and the step, and wherein said torque causes the guides strip to be supported against the rib and the step.
