Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a shading device. This device comprises a pivot mounted shading element and an actuator element for turning the shading element in a rotary movement. The actuator element comprises a first and a second end and is fixed to a base with the first end. The actuator element is able to reversibly bend its shape in response to environmental parameters, wherein the second end bends towards the shading element in a bending movement. The shading element and the actuator element are arranged in such a way that the bending movement results in an interaction of the elements, achieving the rotary movement of the shading element.
