ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle which has a luggage space visible through a hatchback type opening and formed between spaced sidewalls of the vehicle, an easily removable security curtain and support mechanism for the luggage space which is adapted to cover articles within the luggage space in overlying relation thereto. The security curtain includes an elongated strip of flexible material having a width generally equal to the distance between the spaced vehicle walls and with an end edge thereof attached to a rotatable support roller so that the curtain may be wrapped around the roller when in a retracted or stored operative position. The ends of the support roller are attached to the vehicle sidewall and supported thereby by means of cap members on the ends of the roller support in a manner permitting relative rotation therebetween. Each cap member includes an axially outwardly protruding nose portion which is received within a vertical channel of an associated receiving or mounting means which is attached to the vehicle sidewalls. At least one of the end cap members is biased by a spring, internal to the roller support, to permit yieldable inward and outward axial movement which movement facilitates insertion and removal of the nose within the channel.
