The invention relates to a sunroof for a motor vehicle »
5

Sunroofs are offered as additional equipment for motor vehicles, especially in the warm season of the year To get fresh air supply to the passenger compartment. In clear weather, however, with the sunroof open, one often has to direct sunlight of the vehicle occupants in the front seats be accepted when the sun is high. For this reason it is in during the warm season of the year which the sunroof itself is used most often, often necessary, ztt close the sunroof so that the vehicle occupants sit on the front seats in the shade.

The present invention aims to create a sunroof fen, in which, even in the open state, no undesirably large amounts of direct sunlight on the vehicle occupants is obtained.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a sliding roof according to claim 1.

In the sunroof according to the invention you still have one good air permeability, while the individual wires or threads of the fabric or net are so exposed to the sun reduce so that this is not perceived as unpleasant.

Advantageous further developments of the invention are set out in the subclaims specified.

The development of the invention according to claim 3 is in view to a simple attachment of the fabric or net, in terms of an attractive appearance and in terms of

advantageous for undesirable noise generation. An inherently stiff fabric or network is to be understood as such become / which can still be easily bent / but is clearly different from an ideally flexible / none Flexural stiffness exhibiting normal tissue differs.

The development of the invention according to claim 4 is with regard to a complete release of the sunroof opening and a simple subsequent reattachment of the tissue or mesh is advantageous. This means that maintenance or repair work on the sunroof can be carried out as usual, and long objects through the sunroof opening can be transported protruding to the outside. Another advantage of the development according to claim 4 is that that one can easily interchange fabrics or nets with different light transmittance.

The development of the invention according to claim 6 is in particular with regard to retrofitting of the invention Sun protection on existing sunroofs is an advantage.

With the development of the invention according to claim 7, an increase in the shadow effect with unchanged air permeability is achieved obtain.

With the development of the invention according to claim 8, it is possible to use plastic as the material for the fabric or net to use materials that are naturally colorless or transparent.

The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawing. In this show:

Figure 1: a vertical section through the sliding roof a motor vehicle;

FIG. 2: an enlarged partial section through a modified one Sunroof sun protection; and

Figure 3: a partial section through a further modified sunroof sun protection.

In Figure 1 is at 10 a part of the sheet metal roof of a motor vehicle designated. The sheet metal roof 10 has in the area of a Sunroof opening 12 has a depending flange 14 with a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from above. Of the Flange 14 is un-

.15 broken to a sliding roof body 16 between the open position shown in Figure 1 and one the To move the sunroof opening 12 closing position. Details of the leadership of the roof body 16 are not shown in FIG.

On the lower end of the flange 14 is made of plastic Injection-molded frame-shaped visor body 18 firmly attached, which at the same time for holding and covering the edges of a Plastic car sky 20 is used.

In the visor body 18 Kl <* tthaken are protruding downward 22 embedded. These work together with Velcro loops 24 which protrude upward from a Velcro strip 26. The Velcro tape 26 has a rectangular shape when viewed from above and is aligned with the visor body 18.

On the side of the Velcro tape 26 lying at the bottom in FIG. 1, a net 28 is sewn, which is made of colored nylon threads is woven, the mesh size of the net is about 2 mm and the diameter of the nylon threads is about 0.3 mm.

Chemical equipment corresponding to network 28 is required a compared to normal fabrics or nets increased flexural rigidity set so that the fabric under slacks only slightly or slightly under its own weight. It is therefore not necessary to particularly tension the net 28, in order to achieve a smooth, continuous network surface, which is an essentially continuous continuation of the carriage headliner 20 represents.

It can be seen that in the sliding roof described above, the vehicle occupants sitting under the sliding roof opening 12 are protected against direct sunlight, but still ensure a good air supply through the sunroof is. Because of the Velcro, the net 28 can easily be attached to and removed from the sunroof opening 12 be removed.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, parts are those above have already been explained with reference to FIG. 1, again provided with the same reference numerals. The Velcro hooks 22 are now parts of a further Velcro tape 29, which has a layer 30 of self-adhesive adhesive are glued from the inside against the roof of the car.

In the further modified sun protection according to FIG. 3, the net 28 is folded in a zigzag shape and with the transverse edges on a rectangular frame 32, e.g. glued or welded. The frame 32 has seen in plan the same geometry as the visor body 18 according to Figure 1. The side of the frame 32 which is at the top in Figure 3 carries the Velcro 26.

Due to the inherent rigidity of the network 28, it remains in the zigzag shape shown in FIG obtained by plastic deformation. For additional
