    Abstract: A roof system comprises a panel movable between closed and open positions. An operating mechanism comprises front and rear devices. A slide moves the panel both in vertical and horizontal directions via the front and rear devices. At least one of the front and rear devices comprises a lever connected to the slide or the stationary rail through a second pivot pin. A first guide cam is at least partly in engagement with either a stationary guide and/or a curve in the slide. The slide includes a first and second slide part are pivotally connected to each other. One of the slide parts, that is pivotally and slidably connected to said lever, includes a cam engaging a guide curve in the stationary guide rail to force said one slide part to pivot with respect to the other slide part during at least a part of the sliding movement of the slide.

    Abstract: A roof system includes a closure panel that opens a roof opening in which it is positioned partially above a portion of a roof. An operating mechanism includes a front device having a lever for moving the front edge of the panel in a vertical direction. The lever is pivotally connected to a driving slide that has a cam partly in engagement with a stationary guide curve and is in engagement with the panel through a pin-curve assembly. A curve of the pin-curve assembly has a guiding curve extending allowing a corresponding pin to slide along it to move the front of the panel at least in vertical direction when the lever is driven by the driving slide. A locking curve extends mainly vertically when a pin is positioned in the locking curve in order to allow the driving slide to slide the panel in longitudinal direction.

    Abstract: A rollo assembly comprises a flexible rollo screen, a rotatable winding shaft to which a first end of the rollo screen is attached for being wound on or off said winding shaft and two opposite longitudinal guides extending in a longitudinal direction perpendicularly to the winding shaft for guiding opposite sides of the rollo screen. The rollo screen further is provided with longitudinally spaced elongate stiffeners extending substantially in a transverse direction in parallel to the winding shaft between the opposite sides of the rollo screen and attached to the flexible rollo screen, which stiffeners are biased for assuming a curved shape in said transverse direction. Each stiffener comprises two stiffener parts which comprise facing edges and wherein each stiffener further comprises a hinge member extending in said transverse direction and joining said facing edges.

    Abstract: A roof closure assembly for a vehicle includes a frame configured to be fixed to the vehicle roof and having an upper and lower side. A movable closure for a roof opening is movably supported by a movable support mechanism on the frame. An operating device includes at least one drive motor, at least a guide rail including the movable support mechanism for the closure and an elongate connecting member attached to the movable support mechanism and in engagement with the drive motor to enable the drive motor to drive the closure to move between a closed position closing the roof opening and an open position opening the roof opening at least partly. The frame comprises a through-hole providing communication between the upper and lower side of the frame. The drive motor is mounted to a lower side of a motor support such that the drive motor is accessible through the through-hole.

    Abstract: An open roof construction for a vehicle having an opening in the fixed roof includes an operating mechanism for a closure element and comprises a driving slide, slidably guided in the guide rail, a front support attached to the closure element, a support lever having a front end and a rear end and which is slidably connected to a panel track of the closure element by a rear sliding member. The support lever is in engagement with said rear guide track by a middle sliding member. The driving slide is configured to drive the support lever at least along part of path of movement of the closure element. The support lever is constructed such that, in an open position of the closure element, the rear sliding member at the rear end of the support lever extends above the fixed roof behind the roof opening.

    Abstract: A sliding support arrangement for supporting a slidable element in a closure of a roof assembly for a vehicle with respect to mutually orthogonal X, Y and Z directions, comprising at least a guide rail extending substantially in the X-direction. The slidable element carries a slide shoe engaging the guide rail and supporting the slidable element at least in the Z-direction. The slide shoe includes a first part fixed to the slidable element and a relatively movable second part. The second part is supported by the first part mainly through a spring urging the slide shoe parts in engagement with walls of the guide rail. The spring exerts a force which is directed at a non-perpendicular angle to at least one wall of the guide rail.

    Abstract: A sunshade assembly includes a flexible sunscreen and two opposed longitudinal guides for guiding longitudinal edges of the sunscreen. A rotatable winding shaft winds and unwinds the sunscreen. An operating beam is connected to the opposite transversal edge of the sunscreen. Two drive cables are connected to opposite ends of the operating beam. Two positioning members move with the operating beam. Each positioning member extends into a corresponding one of the opposed longitudinal guides. Each of the opposed longitudinal edges of the sunscreen near the opposite transversal edge is provided with a wing folded inward in a direction away from the respective positioning member, so that the wing and the respective positioning member are on opposite sides of the sunscreen. The wing accessible to the respective positioning member from the opposite side of the flexible sunscreen in order to engage the respective positioning member.

    Abstract: A roof closure assembly for a vehicle having a roof opening, comprises a stationary part and a closure. A wind deflector arrangement includes an elongated wind deflector body having two ends which are connected to arm assemblies movably coupled to the stationary part and engagable by the closure in order to move the wind deflector body when the closure moves near a closed position. Each arm assembly comprises an arm connected between the wind deflector body and the stationary part, the arm being movably connected with respect to the stationary part and being biased by a first spring in a substantially rearward direction. An auxiliary arm is connected between the arm and the stationary part whereby the auxiliary arm is movably connected with respect to the stationary part. The auxiliary arm is biased with respect to the stationary part by a second spring into a substantially forward direction.

    Abstract: An open roof construction for a vehicle comprises a rollo assembly. The rollo assembly comprises a rollo screen and a winding shaft for the rollo screen which is rotatable around a stationary axis of rotation. The rollo screen firstly extends in a first direction, next around a reversal member and finally back in an opposite second direction and ends at a rollo screen edge which is attached to a stationary member. The rollo screen has two longitudinal edges which, when the rollo screen is wound off, are brought into engagement with holding members. The longitudinal edges of the rollo screen each comprise a hooking member insertable into a holding groove and hook behind a narrow entrance thereof. A reversal member is provided with a device acting on at least one of the hooking member and holding groove to enable the hooking member to enter and exit the holding groove.
