摘要:
Vehicle roof with a series of plates for selectively closing and at least partially opening a roof opening in a fixed roof surface. The plates abut one another in the closed position and form a flat interlocking system of plates within which each plate is guided on each side on two guide points, that are spaced from each other in a sliding direction, along a guiding device that is connected with the fixed roof surface so that, when the plates are displaced, the flat interlocking system of plates performs a translatory movement during which the interlocking system is separated in a plate-by-plate manner when the roof is opened and is reestablished when the roof is closed. At least the forward guide points of the plates interact with the same guideway, and both guide points of the plates are maintained in engagement with the guiding devices over their entire path of displacement. The guiding devices are constructed and arranged with respect to the fixed roof surface so that the plates, when the roof is opened, dip under the fixed roof part at a rear end of the roof opening.

A process for the production of a cover unit with a seal for vehicle roofs in which a cover part, such as a glass cover part, a cover support and a profile part, having a replacement seal receptacle are inserted in a mold having an upper part and a lower part. The profile part is spaced from the cover part and the support leaving edge gaps which are filled by introducing an elastomer therein to connect this assembly to a cover unit. The profile part is attached and aligned, in a preferred embodiment, by attaching projections on the upper part and/or lower part of the mold depending on its position in the production of the cover unit. A peripheral seal can be molded on the profile part.This peripheral seal can be removed from the profile part, so that the seal receptacle of the profile part can be used to insert a replacement seal. Also, a resulting cover unit for vehicle roofs comprises a cover part, a cover support and a profile part with a replacement seal receptacle and an, optionally, molded-on peripheral seal. The cover part and cover support are connected to the profile part by an elastomer to form a cover unit.
摘要:
A frame arrangement for a vehicle roof that has a roof opening that is closable by a displaceable cover panel that, along with driving and guiding components thereof, is supported on a frame bounding the roof opening which has only the function of a support, i.e., does not form a necessary part of a fully functional installation unit, comprising a guide insert and a covering. The guide insert and the covering form the tracks for a slidable guide element and the cable guide channels for actuating cables, which interact with an appropriately suitable actuation device for displacing the cover panel. The guide insert can be made of plastic or metal, and the covering is advantageously divided into a front side section and side sections. These sections of the covering can be uniformly produced of plastic or metal or individual sections can be produced of plastic and others, in turn, of metal. Also, the guide insert as well as the covering can be produced entirely of plastic. Further, the guide insert can also form a guide for a sliding internal headliner panel.

A wind deflector arrangement for a motor vehicle roof of the type having a roof cutout closeable by a rigid sliding cover is provided. The wind deflector is mounted along its forward edge of the roof cutout and pivotable and about an axis located transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. Lever arms are provided at each lateral side of the sliding cover and extend from a pivot connection at the sliding cover to a frame part surrounding the roof cutout. A spring is provided which biases the wind deflector to pivot about the transverse axis. In order to minimize the lateral dimensions of the wind deflector arrangement, the lever arms are disposed directly underneath guide shoes for the sliding cover. The forward portion of the guide frame for the guide shoes of the sliding cover is cut away in the position above these lever arms so that the guide shoe rides on the lever arm to close the wind deflector when the sliding cover is moved to the closed position.

The invention relates to a sliding and lifting roof for motor vehicles with a cover (1) which selectively closes or at least partially exposes a roof opening (11) formed in a fixed part (8) of the vehicle roof, and with a movable gutter (4) which in the closed position of the cover engages under the rear edges of the cover (1) and a part of the fixed roof to the rear of the roof opening (11). The gutter (4) is joined by at least one elastic connection arm (5) to parts of the cover or a cover reinforcing part (3) at a distance from the rear edge (2) of the cover. In the closed position of the cover, the gutter is pressed against the underside of the cover (1) and the fixed roof part (8) by a prestressing of the connection arms (5). To ensure simple installation and provide reliable operation of the gutter (4), the connection arms (5) are made of an elastically flexible construction and are held by form-fit on the cover parts or cover reinforcing part (3).

According to the invention, the frame arrangement is provided with a guide part, which is set on the frame and which contains guide channels for the actuating cables and forms an upper sliding surface of the lateral tracks for the guide element. Advantageously, the guide part is constructed of a U shape that extends over the side parts and the front side of the frame. Preferably, this guide part is produced of plastic, while the frame consists of a sheet metal part.
摘要:
Preassembled installation unit for sliding and lifting roofs of motor vehicles of the type wherein a fixed roof surface has a roof opening that is openable and closable by a cover, the opening being surrounded in front and on the sides by a frame, which extends behind the roof opening under the fixed roof surface. The installation unit is provided with track forming side guide rails along which front and rear sliders can move, side cover supports which are connected to the front sliders and, by pivoting elements, to the rear sliders, drive cables that engage the rear sliders and can be brought to engage a drive, and guide channels for the drive cables which, in area of the front edge of the roof opening, are formed by guide pipes and on the sides, by cable channels. The frame is a part of the installation unit. The guide rails are integrated with the tracks and cable channels in the side frame parts. The guide pipes are connected to the front area of the frame. The guide rails and cable channels are covered by cover rails incorporating forward and lateral stops to enable performance testing of the unit without the cover or a dummy cover.

Sliding and lifting roof for vehicles with a cover for closing an opening in a fixed roof surface, the cover being selectively liftable so as to raise its rear edge above the fixed roof surface or, after lowering of its rear edge, rearwardly slidable below the fixed roof surface. A sliding liner panel is provided that is slidable jointly with the cover and, at least partially, is also liftable together with the cover. For covering up of a gap between each lateral edge of the liftable liner panel part and a guide part which participates in the sliding movement but not in the lifting movement of the cover, there is provided a flexible screen. The screen is led around the lateral edge of the liftable liner panel part and is held taut in every position of the liner panel part.
摘要:
Sliding and lifting roof for vehicles, having a cover, which in its closed position closes a roof opening, which cover is guided on guide tracks parallel to the side edges of the roof opening, connected with an actuating member by way of a lifting mechanism which is adjustable in a direction relative to the displacement of the cover, and which can be raised above the fixed roof surface by displacing the actuating member, or can be slidably displaced after lowering below the fixed roof surface. The lifting mechanism has a sliding retaining bracket and a lifting lever, that are relatively displaceable by the actuating member. The lifting lever, at one end, is connected with the cover and at an opposite end is pivotably supported about a shaft and is longitudinally and slidably guided by a limited distance in the direction of cover displacement, with respect to the sliding retaining bracket. Furtermore, the sliding retaining bracket has an elongated cam surface and an elongated guide track that define a fixed path of movement for the lifting lever in conjunction with follower rollers carried by the lifting lever which travel along the length of the cam surface and guide track, the cam surface and guide track being provided, at least in part, along the length of a finger-shaped bracket element of the retaining bracket.
