ABSTRACT:
A cover for a motor-vehicle storage space has a winder fixed at an inner end of the space and a cover sheet secured in the winder, having an outer edge, and displaceable between a position wound up at the winder and a position extending from the winder above the space with its free edge at an opposite outer end of the space. A pair of like spaced apart guides flank the space and each extend from the inner end to the outer end. Respective entrainment elements are displaceable along the guides between the inner and outer ends and are each connected to the outer edge. Respective drive motors are connected to the entrainment elements for displacing the entrainment elements outward from the inner end to the outer end and inward from the outer end to the inner end. At least one of the motors is of variable speed. Respective speed sensors associated with the drives produce outputs corresponding to the displacement speeds of the respective entrainment elements and a controller connected to the sensors and to the one variable-speed motor compares the outputs of the sensors and varies an output speed of the one variable-speed motor so the entrainment elements move synchronously.
