The control and locking skid 106 also moves its engagement slider during its displacement movement 107 along the swivel control link 108 the swivel drive unit 63 , wherein the engagement slider 107 initially in the linearly extending front section 114 the swivel control link 108 - in coordination with the position of the Z-lock slider 109 in the bar scenery 110 - Still no pivoting movement of the swivel drive unit 63 and then via a subsequent first deflection section 118 the swivel control link 108 in which the swivel drive unit 63 and thus the release lever 39 is pivoted, a straight intermediate section 119 achieved, the one pivot position of the swivel drive unit 63 is assigned to the release lever 39 holds in a ventilation swivel position, in which he will be on the lid transverse guide 59 outwardly displaced guide engaging part 41 the lid 2 stops in its exposed ventilation position. The intermediate section 119 provides a longer flat support surface for the engagement slider 107 , in its function as a roof-side supporting part of the issued lid 2 over the release lever 39 and the swivel control link 108 can safely support.

The deployment lever drive carriage 98 has still not engaged with the continue fixed coupling carriage 96 next to this moves, so the release lever 39 remains fixed in its X position.

The helmsman 30 of the drive carriage 26 located in the front upper horizontal section 32 the control gate 31 of the cover slide carrier 14 moved backwards. Because this horizontal section 32 the control gate 31 Slightly lower in its course, has the helmsman 30 the lid slide carrier 14 accordingly raised slightly. Here are the two cover glides 20 and 24 except for the intermediate paragraph 37 the lift guide 36 the two cover guide tracks 21 and 25 moves and support the thereby in the area of the cover slide carrier 14 slightly raised lid 2 in its ventilation position on the enlarged support surface on the intermediate paragraph 37 the lift guide 36 safe off.

For adjusting the lid 2 from its ventilation position towards an open position, in which he crosses the adjacent roof area 5 or the adjacent rear lid 6 has been moved (shown by the movement from the position of the 13 . 14 and 21 about a in 22 illustrated intermediate position in the position of 15 . 16 and 23 ) are the drive carriage 26 and the deployment lever drive carriage 98 moving at different speeds. 22 shows the drive carriage 26 in a position where the still connected control rod hook 103 with a latch hook 112 opposite latch shoulder 120 in the direction of movement just before a latch recess 121 in the guide rail 9 is arranged. The control and locking skid 106 moves with his engagement glider 107 in a second deflection section 122 the swivel control link 108 the swivel drive unit 63 and thereby pivots the release lever 39 in the in 22 shown position in which his leadership intervention part 41 in the corner transition area between the lid transverse guide 59 and the longitudinal roof guide 60 has moved. The drive carriage 26 has with his helmsman 30 during its relative movement in the control gate 31 the vertical driving section 33 the control gate 31 reached and in driving engagement the lid slide carrier 14 displaced in the x direction, while the two cover glides 20 and 24 in the rising lift guide 36 to the upper level of the outer and inner lid guideways 21 respectively. 25 have been raised while the lid slide carrier 14 with the lid 2 raised accordingly. The longitudinal displacement of the lid 2 is in 22 in the area of the rear cover guide 40 by the further movement of the guiding intervention part 41 from the lid transverse guide 59 to the lid longitudinal guide 60 towards the x-direction still resting lever 39 recognizable.

The 15 . 16 and 23 show the positions of the storage facilities 8th and 10 with completely raised swivel lever 39 , The drive carriage 26 has starting from the position of 22 the docked control rod hook 103 with his tie shoulder 120 into the latch recess 121 the guide rail 9 shifted, with the control rod hook 103 his latch hook 112 from the latch recess 113 of the drive carriage 26 has removed and now on the engagement of the locking shoulder 120 on the guide rail 9 is held fixed. On this last longitudinal travel of the control rod hook 103 has the control and locking skid 106 his engagement glider 107 from the second deflection section 122 the swivel control link 108 the swivel drive unit 63 in a linear end section 123 moved and the coupled pivot bearing unit 43 the release lever 39 in his in 15 . 16 and 23 shown pivoted fully pivoted position, in which the guide engaging part 41 now on the longitudinal roof guide 60 is engaged.

The deployment lever drive carriage 98 has reached a position in which he is on the pivot lever 115 of the coupling carriage 96 has coupled and this case from its fixation on the guide rail 9 has solved. The coupling takes place by engagement of the deployment lever drive carriage 98 on a protruding driver 124 of the pivot lever 115 , As it progresses, the deployment lever drive carriage pulls 98 the pivot lever 115 about the driver 124 in the direction of movement. The engagement part slides 116 via a guide surface inclined in the direction of movement 125 at the recess 117 and is from the inclined guide surface 125 from the recess 117 the guide rail 9 pressed. The deployment lever drive carriage 98 can now the coupled pivoting lever 115 and over the coupling carriage 96 also the control and adjustment 47 with the release lever 39 Adjust in x-direction.

To further open the lid 2 becomes the drive carriage 26 by means of the drive cable 28 along the front guide rail 9 relocated (see 17 and 24 ). His helmsman 30 pulls in his engagement on the vertical driving section 33 the lid slide carrier 14 and with it the lid 2 to the rear, with the lid slide carrier 14 continue over the two cover glides 20 and 24 at the cover guideways 21 and 25 is slidably supported. The drive carriage 26 is from the control rod hook 103 and from that the control and locking skid 106 disconnected powertrain decoupled. The dormant Control and locking skid 106 holds the swivel drive unit 63 and the pivot bearing unit 43 in the swivel end position, in which the release lever 39 is held in its raised or swung-out support position.

The deployment lever drive carriage 98 displaced during its further adjustment movement (see 18 and 19 ) the coupled release lever 39 from the pivot bearing unit 43 over the rear bearing 69 on the rear guide rail 11 , The two gliders grip 49 and 50 of the release lever 39 in the lower and the upper guide 53 respectively. 54 and guide him along the rear guide rail 11 , A cover strip 126 that the gap 127 between the page margin 55 the opposite the front lid 2 narrower rear lid 6 and the roof side frame 82 covers (see 7 ), is from the release lever 39 Swinging up while moving along the rear guide rail 11 emotional. Due to its U-shaped bulge, the release lever can 39 through the very narrow gap 127 move inward next to a shoulder 128 of the roof side frame 82 runs, located on the roof side frame 82 continuously along the front lid 2 and the rear lid 6 extends. A power support over the release lever 39 is possible on a direct route in as vertical a plane as possible.

When closing the lid 2 the described processes and movements take place in the opposite sequence.

The vehicle roof according to the invention thus has an optimized opening behavior. The front lid 2 can be used to largely expose the roof opening 3 be moved very far to the rear, with the deployment lever 39 gets by with a shorter path relative to the cover path. The release lever 39 can be adapted in its design so that it passes through a very narrow gap 127 at the side edge 55 the rear lid 6 can be performed and still support the lid 2 can be done with favorable force curve.

The two-armed support of the cover slide carrier 14 on the front guide rail 9 allows a compact arrangement with the guided between the support drive carriage 26 and the internal engagement of the drive carriage 26 into the control gate 31 of the cover slide carrier 14 , An attachment of the lid 2 can be directly at the front end of the lid slide carrier 14 take place, whereby an optimal support is ensured.

The front and the rear bearing mechanism can each be combined with differently constructed bearing mechanisms. The combination described represents only a preferred embodiment. Thus, the front bearing mechanism with the two-arm supported lid slide carrier 14 and the drive carriage guided therebetween 26 be combined with a rear storage facility as z. B. in the aforementioned DE 10 2008 046 331 A1 is described.

The individual features disclosed in the description and on the basis of the exemplary embodiment can be combined with the subject matter of the invention in its general form in any technically expedient arrangements and configurations.
