Abstract

A motor-driven blind for a curved back window of a motor vehicle. A winder roller has an end of a cloth fixed thereto and the other end fixed to a pull-bar. Two arms are hinged at ends to the pull-bar and hinged at the other ends to carriages slidable in slideway which is substantially parallel to the axis of the winder roller. A drive device synchronously moves the carriages, and hence the ends of the arm in opposite directions in the slideway to thereby deploy the cloth. The pull-bar is elastically deformable in a direction perpendicular to the cloth.
