Flexible sun protection film

The innovation relates to a flexible sun protection film that can be used on crank, sliding or pivoting windows, preferably on vehicles, without tools can be attached and removed again.

Such sun protection films are on the market in various forms. That can be on the one hand be tinted, transparent plastic films; but more often you will find foils that are made of finer Perforations are made transparent, but almost direct sunlight into the vehicle interior completely prevent.

As these sun protection films are used when retrofitting the different window shapes and window dimensions have to be adapted, their attachable and detachable fastening is a particular problem. The most common type of attachment is attachment using suction cups directly on the pane; to do this, however, the disc must be clean. The innovation is based on the task of creating a type of fastening that ensures that the film can be easily attached and removed and should do without any tools. It should also have an absolutely secure attachment for once dirty windows or similar - offer.

According to the innovation, this object is achieved in that the film has a profile strip on one end side or at least two profile strip sections to attach / detach the film to the having free window edge.

The profile can be attached directly to the end of the film be arranged by gluing, riveting, sewing, etc. In this case it will be putting on and taking off the film released by the profile part cooperating with the window edge.

The profile can also be designed so that it can be clamped to the film end side and - in one particularly preferred embodiment - so that this clamping can be released and reclosed at any time is designed. This ensures that the profile may remain on the edge of the window can and only the film is peeled off; on the other hand, however, the profile with the clamped to it can also be used Foil can be removed or attached.

The profile can preferably consist of a U-shaped base part, on one of which is U-leg. the clamping device for the film is arranged. In this case the inside dimension should be CFD of the base part be the same or slightly larger than the window thickness at the web. If the U-legs then slightly against each other are designed to run, there is a jamming when placed on the window edge.

A particularly preferred embodiment of the innovation results when the clamping device has two webs formed at a distance (A) from one another on the U-leg whose free ends have a significantly smaller distance (B) from one another than the distance (A) and that the film by means of a clamping part, for example a clamping cylinder / a clamping ball in between

the webs formed space can be clamped. Such a design allows effortless attachment and removing the film on the profile.

In order to achieve a good clamping effect, the outer dimension (C) of the clamping part should be approximately the inner distance (D) correspond to the webs approximately in the web center.

The clamping part can by means of a bendable resp. flexible connection to be attached to the leg. The connection can be a web with Breaking edges are provided for turning and the length of which depends on the position of the clamping part in the jammed State is matched. Such a sun protection film with a fastening profile according to the innovation has the advantage over the advantages already described above that the Foil can be tailored by the user to his special circumstances. Because he is easily able to attach or remove the profile. Furthermore, of course, a such a film is attached when the window position is changed (crank down, pivot, move) remain, including the profile of the movement of the window with a secure hold of the film without further ado.

In the drawing, exemplary embodiments of the innovation are shown. Based on these exemplary embodiments the characteristics of the innovation are described in more detail below.

It shows:

FIG. 1 shows a flexible sun protection film in the state fastened to a window of a vehicle with a profile strip;

Figure 2 a sun protection film, which by means of three profile strip sections on the window edge of a Vehicle is attached and

FIG. 3 shows a cross section of a specially designed profile for attaching a flexible sun protection film.

FIG. 1 shows the side area of a car with partial representation of the front window and in particular the rear window, which acts as a crank window is trained. A profile strip (1) is clamped to the upper, free edge of the crank winder (which is drawn in a slightly turned down position) in turn, a flexible sun protection film (2) (on the interior side of the car) is attached. The sun protection film (2) can be attached at the bottom with two known suction cups.

Figure 2 shows another embodiment, this is particularly useful when the free edge of the Disc is strongly curved or profiled differently. In this case, no continuous profile strip is used but the attachment is carried out by means of three profile strip sections (3), on which in turn the sun protection film (4) is attached.

The attachment of the sun protection film (2, 4) can - how already shown in the introduction to the description - can be done in different ways: gluing, riveting, Sewing etc.

The exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3 shows a type of fastening which offers considerable advantages over non-detachable fastening. In this case, a substantially U-shape is formed for clamping onto the window edge designed base part (5) used in the area

• «• 7. j

of the web C6) has approximately an internal dimension CF) which is the same or only slightly larger than the window thickness. The legs (7, 8) of the U-base part I

(5) run away from the web (6) towards one another. at the production of this profile part from a flexible material that has a certain resilience

Φ Attaching this profile to the window a sufficient

corresponding clamping effect is achieved, which ensures a secure fixing i

protective film guaranteed.

On one leg of the U-shaped base part (53 are at a distance (A) from one another webs (10) and (11) are formed, which also towards their free ends are designed to converge, so that at the free ends there is a significantly small distance (B) sets as the basic distance (A) on the leg (8). Furthermore, a web (12) is formed on the leg (8), which is provided with breaking edges (13) and (14) for turning. At the free end of this web (12) is a cylindrical one Clamping part (15) molded on. The length of the web (12), the distance between the clamping part (15) and the leg (8) of the U-shaped base part (5) and the position (X) on the leg (8) are coordinated so that the clamping part (15) when inserting into the cavity (H) formed by the webs (10, 11) a defined, on both web inner edges adjoining position. In this position, the flexible film (2 or 4) is securely clamped. on the other hand it can be released and removed at any time by pulling out the clamping part (15).

With the construction according to the innovation it is possible either to use the entire sun protection film with the profile to remove or only the sun protection film leaving the profile in its on the window

to be removed from the clamped position and to be attached again later. The base part of the profile is designed in its web area so that it can easily be introduced into the mostly flexible window leading edges of the motor vehicle,
so that the motor vehicle can be parked closed with the sun protection film attached.
