Abstract

A functional unit for a vehicle interior has a dimensionally stable functional profile including two mutually opposite end regions which are arranged in a longitudinally movable manner along profiled guide structures arranged in the vehicle interior. Provision is made for each end region to be provided with at least one rolling element, which is mounted on the end region in a manner such that it can rotate about at least one axis of rotation such that, during a longitudinal movement of the end region, the rolling element rolls along at least one surface region of the associated profiled guide structure. The functional unit is used for loading-space coverings in passenger vehicles.
