Abstract

A window shade for motor vehicles has a window shade web material 14 which is designed for being adapted during retraction and extension to the shape of the window, namely in respect to the width dimensions and/or in respect to the curvature. To this end, the window shade web material 14 is made either from a window shade web which can be expanded or stretched in the transverse direction, or from two or more non-expandable window shade webs 15 and 16 which, in the extended state, approximate the shape of the respective window in the desired manner. An additional mounting frame 65 can be used in all cases, in which the elements which are parts of the window shade are arranged, or stored, in order to create a component in this way, which can be installed as a whole in the vehicle on the assembly line.
