    Abstract: To allow receiving rain water by moving a drip member upward and downward in a substantially horizontal direction with a tilting motion of a roof panel, a drip mechanism has a drip member including a trough in an upper surface and covering the entire length of a lower side of a rear edge of a roof panel; left and right movable bodies disposed on guiderails in left and right side portions of a frame; a lifting unit connecting the drip member to the left and right movable bodies that allows the drip member to move upward and downward; and an interlocking member connecting the drip member with the roof panel. In the lifting unit, front and rear link members connect the drip member with the movable body and a member urging, in a rising direction, portions of these front and rear link members and on the drip member-connected side.

    Abstract: A roof module for connection to a motor vehicle having a transparent solid roof portion, which forms a see-through roof area and which is immobile relative to the vehicle body when the roof module is in the installed position, and/or a roof opening system having a mobile lid element, by means of which a roof opening can be opened or closed at will, and a closed roof skin, which forms the see-through roof area and/or is adjacent to the roof opening and forms a roof cover outside of the see-through roof area and/or the roof opening. At least one sensor module can be provided having at least one environment sensor for detecting a vehicle environment and is disposed outside of the see-through roof area and/or the roof opening and is covered by the roof skin.

    Abstract: An openable vehicle roof having a solid roof element, a roof opening and roof opening system having a cover element openable by displacement kinematics. The solid roof having a weatherstrip arrangement at its front edge and its lateral edges disposed on either side of a vertical longitudinal center roof plane, the front edge of the cover element abutting a transverse leg of the weatherstrip arrangement when the cover element is in the closed position, and the displacement kinematics having a kinematic unit on either side of the vertical longitudinal center roof plane, each kinematic unit having a raising lever which slides on a respective longitudinal leg of the weatherstrip arrangement when the cover element is being displaced in the longitudinal roof direction. The longitudinal legs of the weatherstrip arrangement are each connected to the transverse leg via a corner piece made of an elastomer blended with a low-friction additive.

    Abstract: A locking device for a top of a convertible vehicle is proposed, comprising a locking support (22), a locking hook (28), which can be shifted in a translational and rotational manner so as to be displaced between a release position and a locked position, and a driving mechanism for the locking hook (28), said driving mechanism comprising a driving motor (64) and driving a slide (36) movable on the locking support (22). The slide (36) is connected to a driving section of the locking hook (28) via a pull-link arrangement (46) in such a manner that the locking hook (28) undergoes a pivoting movement when the slide (36) is moved. The locking support (22) has an insert having a guiding track for a guiding element which is arranged on the pull-link arrangement (46) or on the locking hook (28), and the guiding track defines a pivot position of the locking hook (28) with respect to the locking support (22).

    Inventor: Philipp ECK

    Abstract: The invention provides a method for checking a semiconductor switch for a fault, wherein the semiconductor switch is driven with a PWM signal with a variable duty cycle. To the benefit of determining faults on the semiconductor switch reliably and cost-effectively, it is provided that if the semiconductor switch is operated with a duty cycle of 100% or 0%, the current measurement of the overall system is evaluated, while if the semiconductor switch is operated with a duty cycle of between 0% and 100%, the generated voltage pulses across the semiconductor switch are evaluated.
