Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a motor vehicle, which comprises a roof which is at least partially transparent. Background Art

[0002] A motor vehicle of this type is known from DE 101 40 239 A1, which has a sunshade device for placement beneath a transparent roof area of ​​the motor vehicle, the sunshade device comprising a winding shaft which is embodied in such a way that it can be moved on lateral guides and displaced between a particularly lowered rear storage position and at least one functional position below the transparent roof area which is spaced apart from the storage position.

[0003] From DE 601 24 162 T2 a device for covering at least one window pane and / or at least one opening of a motor vehicle is known, wherein a covering fabric web is used, which can be moved between a folded position and an unfolded position and comprises at least one supporting and / or retaining rod which assumes a given shape of the fabric web when the fabric web is unfolded. The rod or rods are separated from the fabric web at least when the fabric web is folded.

[0004] From WO 2006 / 079 332 A1 a darkening device for a light-tight window comprising a textile web is known, the darkening device being mounted so that it can be moved between a storage position and a deployed position. The darkening device also comprises a transverse reinforcement which is fixedly connected to the textile web and can slide between two guide rails arranged on either side of the darkening area.

[0005] DE 196 49 118 A1 discloses a cladding and insulating curtain for cut-out openings in the body of a motor vehicle covered internally with cladding, comprising a panel mounted so that it can slide with two lateral edges in two sliding guides associated with each other and connected to the body. The panel is made of a plurality of sheets and has a flexible coating serving as cladding and insulation on the inner side opposite the body. The panel can also be rolled up around an axis using a rolling device.

[0006] A sliding roof for a motor vehicle which is equipped with a transverse panel is known from WO 90 / 00986 A1.

[0007] DE 102 30 444 A1 discloses a sliding window for closing a body opening of a motor vehicle, which has a rod element which is connected to a roller blind with an inserted sealing device and can be moved along parallel lateral guides and rolled up or unrolled from a drum by a motorized rotary drive to open and close the sliding window.

[0008] A disadvantage of motor vehicles with shading devices known from the prior art is that, in particular for large glass surfaces, the darkening they provide is often considered inadequate by the user. Utility Model Content

[0009] The invention therefore focuses on the problem of providing a screening arrangement for a motor vehicle of this type which allows comfortable, large-area screening and shielding of the interior of the motor vehicle from the surroundings.

[0010] According to the utility model, a motor vehicle is provided, which includes an at least partially transparent roof and a shielding device for darkening the at least partially transparent roof, wherein the at least partially transparent roof extends continuously and curvedly between a B-pillar and a storage space behind the B-pillar in the driving direction, and the shielding device includes a shielding part, which is laterally guided in a rail system along the roof contour and supported by a laterally extending bow, and a receiving box is provided, in which the shielding part can be rolled up together with the bow in a non-use position.

[0011] The utility model is based on the following general concept: a shielding device is provided in a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle has a continuously curved and at least partially transparent roof between the B-pillar and a storage space (e.g. a luggage compartment) behind the B-pillar in the driving direction, by means of which the entire curved and transparent roof can be darkened and thus achieve the maximum possible darkening effect or shielding effect. The shielding device comprises a shielding part and a receiving box, the shielding part is guided laterally in a rail system along the roof contour and supported by a laterally extending bow, and the shielding part can be rolled up in the receiving box together with the bow in a non-use position. The motor vehicle according to the utility model has the great advantage that the entire roof can be darkened by means of the shielding device according to the utility model, which in particular makes it possible to prevent unwanted light from passing through the transparent roof. If no shielding is required, the shielding part can be rolled up in the receiving box together with the bow, so as to be stored in a visually attractive and space-optimized manner. In its use position, the shielding part of the shielding device can extend at least to the vicinity of the B-pillar, which allows large-area darkening of the at least partially transparent roof extending between the B-pillar and the luggage compartment behind the B-pillar in the direction of travel.

[0012] In another advantageous embodiment of the motor vehicle according to the invention, the shielding part comprises a fabric web or a plastic web connected to the bow. Both fabric webs and plastic webs can be used in almost unlimited embodiments, and the use of natural materials can provide, for example, a sustainable and environmentally friendly touch. Plastic webs in particular enable extremely effective shielding or darkening; in particular if they are opaque or almost opaque.

[0013] In an alternative embodiment of the motor vehicle according to the invention, the shielding part comprises a sheet, wherein the bow is a component of the sheet or forms the sheet. Such a shielding part is thus designed in the manner of a roller blind, which allows a particularly opaque darkening of the at least partially transparent roof, preferably over the entire area.

[0014] In another advantageous embodiment of the motor vehicle according to the invention, the bow consists of spring steel. Such spring steel enables the shielding part to be self-tensioned, in particular if the shielding part is connected to the corresponding bow in a tensioning manner. Of course, struts or tie rods can also be used as an alternative to such a bow. Angular profiles or hollow profiles are also conceivable, since these profiles can particularly reliably reinforce the shielding part due to their higher bending torque.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the motor vehicle according to the invention, the rail system comprises two rails that are curved along the roof contour. The individual bows are guided with their respective longitudinal ends in these rails, in particular in a noise-decoupled manner, which enables not only smooth but also quiet opening and closing of the screening device. The two rails of the rail system can be recessed along the roof contour on the sides of the transparent roof in the lining of the roof and / or in the lateral rounding of the roof and / or in the longitudinal roof frame.

[0016] In another advantageous embodiment of the motor vehicle according to the invention, the bows are straight or curved. The advantage of the straight configuration of the individual bows is that they can be rolled up very compactly, whereas curved bows, in particular if they have the same curvature / shape as the curved and at least partially transparent roof, can be guided very close under the transparent roof or sunroof, which makes it possible to increase the freedom of the head and thus the comfort. Thus, bows can also be used which can be rolled up straight and can only be elastically bent under pretension (by pretensioning between the rails).

[0017] In a particularly preferred embodiment of the motor vehicle according to the invention, the motor vehicle is configured as an off-road sports car. In particular, in such off-road sports cars, there are rear seats that are comfortable for passengers under the transparent roof, which is why the shielding device provided according to the invention is also used here to provide direct sun protection for the passengers sitting in the rear seats.

[0018] The at least partially transparent roof advantageously comprises a darkened area and also comprises a clear view area behind the darkened area in the driving direction, and the shielding device can easily darken both the clear view area and the darkened area. The transparency of the darkened area can be significantly reduced or become opaque.

[0019] In another advantageous embodiment of the motor vehicle according to the invention, the side windows and / or the triangular windows in the side doors are darkened. The shielding device and the darkened side windows or the darkened triangular windows can create particularly protected privacy for individuals sitting in the back seat. Such darkened side windows also make it impossible or difficult to accidentally see through the motor vehicle, which also makes it possible to transport objects on the rear bench seat in a way that prevents them from being seen.

[0020] The shielding part is advantageously configured as an acoustic decoupling element. This at least reduces the acoustic reflections on the at least partially transparent roof, which can significantly improve the acoustic experience at the rear of the motor vehicle. This can in principle be achieved by using relatively heavy knitted, woven or nonwoven fabrics with a high grammage.

[0021] Other important features and advantages of the present invention will appear from the accompanying drawings and the related description of the drawings with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] It should be understood that the above-mentioned features and the features to be explained below can be used not only in the respectively specified combination, but also in other combinations or alone without departing from the scope of the present invention. The above-mentioned components and the components of the higher-level units (such as devices, equipment or arrangements) to be mentioned below (which are individually marked) may constitute individual parts or components of the unit, or may be an integral area or part of the unit, even if shown otherwise in the drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] Preferred exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings and are explained in further detail in the following description, wherein the same reference numerals indicate the same, similar or functionally identical components.

[0024] The accompanying drawings schematically show:

[0025] Figure 1 is an interior view of a motor vehicle according to the invention in the rear seat area,

[0026] Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view through a motor vehicle according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] according to Figure 1 and 2 According to the invention, a motor vehicle 1, which is configured as an off-road sports car, comprises a continuously curved and at least partially transparent roof 2 between a B-pillar 3 and a storage space 5 behind the B-pillar in the direction of travel 4. The roof 2 can be made largely of glass and comprises a darkened area 6 and a clear viewing area 7 (see also FIG. Figure 2The roof 2 is curved in the region of the darkened region 6 and the clear view region 7, for example as a so-called helicopter window. The darkened region 6 and the clear view region 7 can be constructed as a single piece or as one piece, but can also be constructed as multiple parts. The darkened region 6 can be darkened using tinted glass or a film.

[0028] In order to give the person sitting in the back seat 8 a corresponding sense of freedom and a so-called cocoon effect, a shielding device 9 is provided for darkening the at least partially transparent roof 2, which has a shielding part 12 which is guided laterally along the roof contour 10 in a rail system and supported by a laterally extending bow 11. The shielding part 12 can be stowed in a space-saving manner in a receiving box 13 together with the bow 11 in the non-use state or non-use position (see Figure 2 ). The receiving box 13 is located behind the rear seat 8 in the driving direction 4.

[0029] The shielding device 9 according to the utility model is configured so that it can shade or darken the clear view area 7 and (if necessary) the darkened area 6 of the transparent roof 2, thereby protecting the person sitting on the back seat 8 from direct sunlight. Since the shielding part 12 can extend to the B-pillar 3 or at least extend to the vicinity of the B-pillar 3 in the pulled-out state, even if the roof 2 is closed, opening the shielding device 9 can also produce the feeling of a convertible, and the extended shielding element 12 can achieve a protected and cocoon-like sitting position on the back seat 8. In order to further support this cocoon effect, the side windows 14 and / or the triangular windows 15 can also be darkened. This can be achieved by, for example, appropriately colored side windows 14a or colored triangular windows 15a and / or by using a film.

[0030] The shielding part 12 can comprise a fabric or plastic web 16 which is connected to the bow 11 and is extremely flexible and can therefore be easily rolled up. Alternatively, it is of course also conceivable that the shielding part 12 comprises a plate, in which case the bow 11 is an integral part of the plate or forms the plate. This makes it possible to create a rolling blind effect.

[0031] The bow 11 can also be made of spring steel or alternatively be configured as a pull rod, which enables the shielding part 12 to be opened automatically. Figure 2As can be seen in the figure, the shielding device 9 or its shielding part 12 has a curved course in the longitudinal direction in the use state, wherein the lateral curvature of the shielding part 12 can also be realized by the curved bow 9. The curved shape of the bow 11 allows the shielding element 12 to be guided directly along the roof 2, that is, at a distance of a few millimeters from the at least partially transparent roof 2, so that the head freedom of the person sitting on the back seat 8 is not restricted or only restricted insignificantly. Alternatively, the bow 11 can also be straight, which enables a particularly compact arrangement in the receiving box 13.

[0032] The motor vehicle 1 is preferably designed as an off-road sports car and therefore provides space for four persons, ie also for at least two persons on the rear seat 8, which can be designed as a rear bench seat. In particular for a body shape of this type, in which the roof line slopes downward toward the rear as in a coupé, the curved bow 11 is ideal for increasing the freedom of the head. The shielding device 9 provided according to the invention makes it possible to prevent light from inadvertently penetrating the transparent roof 2, in particular the clear viewing area 7, so that, for example, even a person sitting on the rear seat 8 will not have any problems viewing the vehicle display 17 or a laptop on his lap.

[0033] In summary, the at least partially transparent roof 2 allows an open-top driving experience of the motor vehicle 1 according to the invention when the shielding device 9 is open, while closing the shielding device 9 allows glare-free working and absolute privacy on the rear seat 8 .
