摘要:
A vehicle roof with a cutout to accept a cover and a method for its manufacture including, according to a preferred embodiment, the use of a rubber gasket surrounding an edge of the body panel so as to cover attachment elements securing a frame of angular cross-section with an adjoining body panel defining the cutouts. The gasket includes, according to preferred arrangements, teeth for securely retaining the gasket upon the edge of the body panel and flocking and/or an air chamber to enable sealing engagement with the removable cover.

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.

Control apparatus is provided for an electromechanically operated closure panel such as used for sun roofs of automobiles and the like. The control apparatus includes a reversible electric motor drivingly connected to move the closure panel between a closed position and respective slidably retracted and pivoted open positions. In order to accommodate for the differences in relative movement between the electric motor and the closure panel during movement between the closed position and the tilted position, as compared to the movement between the closed position and the slidably retracted position, the invention provides a control mechanism for controlling the speed of the electric motor so as to reduce the same during tilting movement of the closure panel.
摘要:
A vehicle roof with a roof opening and a removable cover for closing the opening of the type wherein the cover is attachable to a roof frame in the vicinity of its forward edge by means of a releasable swivel connection about an axis running at right angles to a lengthwise axis of the vehicle roof and having a rear edge pivotable out of the roof plane, upward and outward, by means of a tilting device that is releasable from the cover is improved by the provision of a safety device for releasing the tilting device from the cover only when the cover is in its closed position. In accordance with a preferred embodiment the safety device includes an unlocking element for releasing the tilting device from the cover which is constructed in the range so as only to be accessible when the cover is closed. In the closed position the unlocking element can be operated by means of a coin or like object so as to be shifted from an engaged or disengaged position.

A sliding roof panel arrangement for opening and closing an opening in the roof of a motor vehicle is provided with a crash protection construction for preventing the unintentional closing of an open sliding cover due to the influence of high inertial forces as occur from strong deceleration during a collision. In accordance with a first embodiment, a flyweight is pivotally connected to the sliding cover and is arranged so as to engage a notched bar mounted on a fixed roof portion under the influence of said high inertial forces. According to a modified embodiment, a safety belt arrangement is secured to the sliding cover at one end and is wound upon an automatic blocking roll-up mechanism secured to a fixed roof portion at its other end.
摘要:
An automobile sliding roof structure in which a transparent sliding roof panel is associated with an independently retractable opaque canopy panel and where the vertical gap between the roof panel and the roof frame is covered by a U-shaped shutter, moving with the roof panel, but not pivoting with the latter, and by a transverse stationary shutter at the rear of the opening, while skirt portions extending downwardly from the roof panel frame close the gaps between the two shutter elements and the roof panel.
摘要:
Vehicle roof, particularly for passenger vehicles, connected to whose roof there are side panels forming roof struts. The connection areas between the roof panel and side panels are downwardly offset and are respectively covered by a molded strip. The roof has a roof opening which extends approximately up to the connecting areas. A tiltable cover which can be moved rearwardly is provided for selectively closing and at least partially uncovering of the roof opening. The outer edge of the cover in its closed position is pressed against a cover gasket from above. The gasket at the side of the roof opening, at least supplements the respective molding strip by replacing the molding strips in the area of the roof opening, or by extending along the side of the molding strip facing the roof opening, or by forming a portion of the molding strip itself.
摘要:
A motor vehicle roof arrangement having a cover that can be slid and/or tilted out with respect to an opening in the roof. The cover is movable by means of an electric motor through at least one incompressible driving cable. The electric motor is mounted at a front side of the opening in the roof on a stationary part of the roof, and by means of a secondary drive wheel of an intermediate drive, drives a pinion that is engaged in the driving cable. The pinion is arranged in a front rain groove of a roof frame essentially on the center longitudinal axis of the roof of the motor vehicle. The intermediate drive is located in a gear housing to which the electric motor is flanged to form a drive unit. A secondary drive gear of the intermediate drive is detachably connected with a shaft of the pinion by mating internal and external gear elements. The drive unit comprising the electric motor and the intermediate drive can be exchanged for a hand crank having gear elements that correspond is shape to gear elements of the secondary drive gear without modification to the remainder of the roof arrangement.
摘要:
A vehicle roof provided with an opening closable by a cover and a frame of substantially U-shaped cross section extending along the edge of the roof opening. One side of the substantially U-shaped frame is higher than the other side thereof, and the higher side extends outside of the vehicle in the form of a flange for covering the edge of the vehicle roof defining the opening. A clamping arrangement for pressing the flange against the outer surface of the roof is provided, near the higher side, inside of the vehicle. To facilitate the installation of such a vehicle cover, especially in the case of a used vehicle, the clamping arrangement comprises a plurality of retaining plates which are pressed against the vehicle roof by screws. When the screws have been loosened, the retaining plates can be pivoted so that the frame can be introduced from outside of the vehicle into the roof opening without removing the retaining plates and screws.
摘要:
A vehicle sunroof with a cover closing a roof hatch, said cover being slidable rearward under the roof to open the roof hatch, and having two laterally directed, lengthwise displaceable brake rods, as well as two first guide parts running lengthwise of the vehicle along both sides of the cover. A roof frame extends rearward on both sides of the roof hatch, to which frame second guide parts, complementary to the first guide parts, are fastened, said parts meshing with the first guide parts and locating them in the vertical direction. In order to facilitate manufacture and installation of a vehicle sunroof of this type, provision is made for the roof frame to have a sloping surface on each side, opposite the ends of the brake rods in each intermediate open position, and an approximately horizontal support surface abutting said areas laterally and externally, for coacting with the brake rods despite variations in their lengthwise adjustment.
