Die Hauptsäulenelemente oder andere Teile des Faltverdecks, die in der Offenlage ebenfalls etwa horizontal angeordnet sind können einen solchen Freiraum lassen, dass längliche Gegenstände zwischen den Hauptsäulenelementen und/oder den anderen Teilen des Faltverdecks angeordnet werden können. Vorzugsweise weist das Faltverdeck einen Verdeckstoff auf, der vorne an dem vordersten Querspriegel und hinten an einem Spannbügel befestigt ist, der über zwei ein Übertotpunktgelenk bildende Spannstangen verstellbar sein kann, von denen beispielsweise eine Spannstange über einen Hydraulikzylinder verstellbar ist. Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist der bei geschlossenem Faltverdeck untere Hebel des Viergelenks über ein weiteres Viergelenk mit zwei Schwenkhebeln verstellbar, von denen vorzugsweise ein Schwenkhebel durch das untere Hauptsäulenelement gebildet ist. Dabei kann der andere Schwenkhebel des weiteren Viergelenks jeweils um eine Querachse schwenkbar einerseits an dem unteren Hebel des Viergelenks und andererseits an der Fahrzeugkarosserie oder an einer an der Fahrzeugkarosserie angeordneten Konsole angelenkt sein. Die beiden Dachrahmenteile und die beiden Hauptsäulenelemente können jeweils ein Dichtungselement bilden oder tragen, wobei die Dichtungselemente vorzugsweise bei geschlossenem Faltverdeck jeweils stirnseitig, beispielsweise bündig aneinander angrenzen und mit einem unteren oder zusätzlich hinteren Längsrand an wenigstens einem zugeordneten oberen Randbereich einer Seitenscheibe dichtend anliegen.After this the upper main pillar element with the lower main pillar element connecting hinge mechanism is a four-bar linkage with two levers, can When opening of the folding top, the two main column elements on top of each other particularly space-saving in the rear open position of the folding top be adjusted, in which the main column elements are approximately horizontal are arranged. The main pillar elements or other parts of the folding top, which also in the open position arranged approximately horizontally can have such a free space leave that elongated objects between the main pillar elements and / or the other parts of the folding top can be arranged. Preferably the folding top has a top cloth, the front of the front Crossbar and rear is attached to a tension bar, the over two an over-center joint forming tension rods can be adjustable, of which, for example a tension rod over a hydraulic cylinder is adjustable. In a particularly preferred Embodiment is the lower lever when the folding top is closed of the four-bar joint Another four-bar linkage with two pivoting levers adjustable, from which preferably a pivot lever through the lower main pillar element is formed. In this case, the other pivot lever of the other four-bar linkage pivotable about a transverse axis on the one hand on the lower lever the four-joint and the other on the vehicle body or be hinged to a console arranged on the vehicle body. The two roof frame parts and the two main pillar elements can each forming or carrying a sealing element, wherein the sealing elements preferably with the folding top closed in each case on the front side, for example, flush adjoin one another and with a lower or additionally rear longitudinal edge at least one associated upper edge region of a side window lie sealingly.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel werden beim Öffnen des Faltverdecks das vordere und hintere Dachrahmenteil sowie das obere und untere Hauptsäulenelement in eine jeweils etwa horizontale Lage übereinander kompakt angeordnet und nach hinten verstellt. Befindet sich in der hinteren Offenlage des Faltverdecks das obere Hauptsäulenelement in Fahrzeugquerrichtung seitlich neben dem unteren Haupt säulenelement, so erhält man eine besonders packageoptimierte Ablage des Faltverdecks und seiner in Schließlage mit seitlichen Fensterscheiben zusammen wirkenden Dichtungselemente.at the embodiment when opening of the folding top the front and rear roof frame part as well as the upper and lower main column element arranged in a respective approximately horizontal position over each other compact and adjusted to the rear. Located in the rear open position of the folding top, the upper main pillar element in the vehicle transverse direction laterally next to the lower main column element, we obtain a especially package optimized storage of the folding top and its in closed position with side windows cooperating sealing elements.
Das vordere Dachrahmenteil kann auch in einer von dem Ausführungsbeispiel abweichenden Weise mit dem hinteren Dachrahmenteil beispielsweise über ein zwei Schwenkteile aufweisendes Dachviergelenk verbunden sein. In diesem Fall ist vorzugsweise das vordere Dachrahmenteil beim Öffnen des Faltverdecks über oder unter das hintere Dachrahmenteil verstellbar und das hintere Dachrahmenteil sowie das vordere Dachrahmenteil verbleiben beim Öffnen des Faltverdecks in einer etwa horizontalen Lage. Die bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel in dem Kulissenhebel vorgesehene Kulissenausnehmung kann auch an der Fahrzeugkarosserie oder an einem daran befestigten oder abgestützten Bauteil vorgesehen sein, wobei in diesem Fall der in die Kulissenausnehmung eingreifende Bolzen dann von dem Kulissenhebel absteht. Das obere Hauptsäulenelement kann so über ein Viergelenk mit dem unteren Hauptsäulenelement verbunden sein, dass in der Offenlage des Faltverdecks das obere Hauptsäulenelement über oder unter dem unteren Hauptsäulenelement angeordnet ist. Das Faltverdeck ermöglicht größere Seitenscheiben, verbessert das Packmaß in Fahrzeuglängsrichtung und ermöglicht eine Optimierung der Schulterbreite des geschlossenen Faltverdecks. Das Faltverdeck kann wie bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel einen Verdeckstoff oder bei einer anderen Ausführung keinen Verdeckstoff, sondern feste Dachteile aufweisen. Beispielsweise kann der vorderste Querspriegel zu einem vorderen Dachteil vergrößert und mit den vorderen Dachrahmenteilen verbunden sein. Die beiden hinteren Dachrahmenteile können über ein hinteres festes Dachteil querverbunden sein. Die Heckscheibe kann in einem festen Heckteil angeordnet sein.The Front roof frame part may also be in one of the embodiment deviating way with the rear roof frame part, for example via a be connected to two pivoting parts having roof pivot. In In this case, preferably, the front roof frame part when opening the Folding top over or under the rear roof frame part adjustable and the rear Roof frame part and the front roof frame part remain when opening the Folding hood in an approximately horizontal position. The in the embodiment provided in the crank lever link recess can also the vehicle body or on a component attached or supported thereon be, in which case the intervening in the sliding recess Bolt then protrudes from the crank lever. The upper main pillar element so over a four-bar linkage may be connected to the lower main pillar element, that in the open position of the folding top, the upper main column element over or under the lower main column element is arranged. The folding top allows larger side windows, improved the pack size in the vehicle longitudinal direction and allows an optimization of the shoulder width of the closed folding top. The folding top can, as in the embodiment, a top cloth or in another embodiment have no top fabric, but solid roof parts. For example can the frontmost crossbeam enlarged to a front roof part and be connected to the front roof frame parts. The two back Roof frame parts can over a to be cross-linked behind the fixed roof part. The rear window can be arranged in a fixed tail section.
