Patent ID: 8905116

Claim:
A roller blind system for shading a rear window of a motor vehicle, comprising: a flexible fabric sheet movable between a stowed condition and a functioning condition in a pull-out direction, a pull-out profile provided at a distal end of the fabric sheet, and two guide rails that are located at both sides of the fabric sheet when in the functioning condition, and which run, at least in part, non-parallel to one another, whereby the pull-out profile incorporates two sliding sections at respective opposite ends thereof, each of which sliding section engages with a guide rail, the pull-out profile incorporates a covering face that is directed in the pull-out direction when in the stowed condition and which serves to cover an outlet slot for the fabric sheet, and the pull-out profile is constructed so as to have a variable length, for which purpose the pull-out profile comprises a main segment bonded to the distal end of the fabric sheet and two end segments movable with respect to the main segment in a direction transverse to the pull-out direction, whereby the covering face comprises a main covering face section on the main segment and side covering face sections on the end segments, the main segment having a cross-section, taken transverse to a longitudinal extent of the main segment, defining a peripherally closed receiving pocket, the end segments and their respective side covering face sections being inserted into the receiving pocket when a length of the pull-out profile is reduced, the roller blind system further including a guide arrangement disposed to maintain the side covering face sections of the respective end segments in a spaced-apart manner from said main segment, such that the side covering face sections do not contact the main segment.
