Some time ago i wrote a function for this, i hope it's helpfull for you:
(not realy tested, be careful!)
create type start_end as (t1 timestamptz, t2 timestamptz);
create or replace function time_intersect (timestamptz, timestamptz, timestamptz, timestamptz) returns start_end as $$
declare
_s1 alias for $1;
_e1 alias for $2;
_s2 alias for $3;
_e2 alias for $4;
_start timestamptz;
_end timestamptz;
_return start_end;
begin
if _s1 < _s2 then
_start := _s2;
else
_start := _s1;
end if;
if _e1 < _e2 then
_end := _e1;
else
_end := _e2;
end if;
if _start < _end then
_return.t1 := _start;
_return.t2 := _end;
else
_return.t1 := NULL;
_return.t2 := NULL;
end if;
return _return;
end
$$ language plpgsql;
test=# set datestyle=german;
SET
test=*# select time_intersect('10.01.2007'::date, '20.01.2007'::date, '13.01.2007'::date, '21.01.2007'::date);
time_intersect
-------------------------------------------------------

test=*# select *, t2-t1 from time_intersect('10.01.2007'::date, '20.01.2007'::date, '13.01.2007'::date, '21.01.2007'::date);
t1 | t2 | ?column?
-------------------------+-------------------------+----------
13.01.2007 00:00:00 CET | 20.01.2007 00:00:00 CET | @ 7 days
