Abstract

A blind for closing a storage compartment in a central console of a motor vehicle is provided. The blind has rod-shaped guide elements which are slidably guided in lateral grooves. Slats are clipped onto the guide elements, which slats project laterally and become wider in a longitudinal direction of the blind, so that in a closed position of the blind they completely cover an intermediate space between two obliquely diverging side walls of the central console.

Claims (21)

1. A blind for closing an opening, the blind comprising:

slats; and

guideways which are arranged in notional, mutually parallel planes and effect slidable guidance of the slats, the slats being spaced apart from the guideways, wherein the slats cover the guideways,

wherein the slats are of different widths.

2. The blind according to claim 1 , wherein the slats become wider in a longitudinal direction of the blind.

3. The blind according to claim 1 , wherein the blind has guide elements which are slidably guided with the guideways and are articulatedly or flexibly connected to one another and on which the slats are arranged.

4. The blind according to claim 2 , wherein the guideways have grooves, and in the grooves the guide elements have a resilient element perpendicular to a sliding direction of the blind.

5. The blind according to claim 3 , wherein the guide elements are connected to one another by flexible tongues.

6. The blind according to claim 3 , wherein the guide elements are connected to one another by tension means.

7. The blind according to claim 5 , wherein the guide elements are connected to one another by tension means.

8. A blind for closing an opening, the blind comprising:

slats; and

guideways which are arranged in notional, mutually parallel planes and effect slidable guidance of the slats, the slats being spaced apart from the guideways, wherein the slats cover the guideways,

wherein the slats become wider in a longitudinal direction of the blind.

9. The blind according to claim 8 , wherein the blind has guide elements which are slidably guided with the guideways and are articulatedly or flexibly connected to one another and on which the slats are arranged.

10. The blind according to claim 8 , wherein the guideways have grooves, and in the grooves the guide elements have a resilient element perpendicular to a sliding direction of the blind.

11. A blind for closing an opening, the blind comprising:

slats; and

guideways which are arranged in notional, mutually parallel planes and effect slidable guidance of the slats, the slats being spaced apart from the guideways, wherein the slats cover the guideways,

wherein the blind has guide elements which are slidably guided with the guideways and are articulatedly or flexibly connected to one another and on which the slats are arranged,

wherein the guide elements are connected to one another by flexible tongues and tension means.
