Definitions

  • the folding top of car convertibles and roadsters should be as easy to close and open as possible. In the open state, it should take up as little space as possible, because the storage space for the convertible top depends on the space available in the trunk.
  • a roof frame construction which is quite cheap in terms of technical effort and operation, consists of dividing the side roof frame into several pieces that are connected to one another by hinges. This hinge connection is particularly advantageous in the case of kinematic concealments of convertibles if each of the two side roof frames is divided into four pieces.
  • the roof would fold up like a leporello, the portion of the top which is adjacent to the windshield in the closed state lying on top of the stack when the top is open, and in such a way that the outside of the roof also points outward .
  • the convertible top section when the convertible top section is folded up, it automatically protects the parts underneath it of the roof lining or the inside of the roof, which is relatively sensitive to contamination.
  • kinematic roofs in which the roof frame has only three sections are unfavorable.
  • the foremost section adjacent to the windshield, with the headliner side facing outward reaches the folded-up convertible top package.
  • Contamination of the headlining in the front area corresponding to the foremost section of the kinematic roof is inevitable.
  • This section of the headlining will definitely change color faster than the rest of the area.
  • an unsightly streak on the headlining will soon be visible. This pollution will thereby encouraging or accelerating that the user fails to pull the tarpaulin over the convertible top package when the convertible top is open, because this is an additional work measure.
  • Such three-part roofs are naturally used in vehicles with a short roof, as is the case for compact vehicles or roadsters.
  • the use of the parallelogram handlebar arrangement for connecting the foremost frame piece avoids the folding movement that otherwise inevitably occurs when opening.
  • the foremost section of the kinematic convertible top is rather moved over the middle piece with the aid of the parallelogram link arrangement, the outside of the roof remaining outside even when the convertible top package is put down, and thus the areas of the headliner underneath, namely in particular also the headliner area of the middle section , protects. Because this middle area is folded up because of the very simple hinge-like connection between the middle and the rear frame piece when opening with the roof or sky side.
  • the front section which moves over it when opened, covers the exposed part of the headlining and protects it against dirt, even if the user does not pull a special protective cover or tarpaulin over the open top.
  • connection of the individual frame pieces the other is particularly stable if both the parallelogram link arrangement and the hinge-like connections have only one degree of freedom.
  • the opening and closing of the convertible top is considerably simplified if there is a control device which, when there is a relative movement between the rear frame piece and the middle frame piece, brings about a movement between the middle frame piece and the front frame piece.
  • a control device can consist of at least one control lever, preferably two control levers, one control lever being assigned to a roof side. This avoids a skewed asymmetrical actuation of the convertible top when opening and closing.
  • the control lever is expediently rotatably connected to the central frame piece and it actuates the front frame piece belonging to the relevant side via a link device.
  • control lever is advantageously positively coupled to the movement of the rear frame piece. This can be achieved by the control lever being designed as a two-armed lever and projecting beyond the articulation point on the middle frame piece, its projecting end being hinged to the body.
  • the parallelogram link arrangement advantageously consists of two links pivoting essentially parallel to one another. Such an arrangement reduces the risk of stiffness due to tilting.
  • the rear or lower edge of the cover is attached to a bow which is hinged to the body, it is possible to pivot the bow from the outside of the area of the rear shelf to make it accessible. This is particularly particularly advantageous in the case of compact convertibles if additional storage space is provided behind the storage area of the convertible top.
  • the storage space provided for the convertible top can also be used as a luggage rack when the convertible top is closed.
  • a further simplification of the kinematic convertible top can be achieved if the roll bar which is often present in convertibles at the same time functions as a bow. When closed, the cover is stretched over the roll bar, which pushes the cover outwards.
  • a rod-shaped stiffening element can be used in the convertible top at this point, which keeps the convertible top open laterally due to its inherent rigidity. Lateral collapse of the cover in the area of the roll bar is thereby avoided.
  • FIG. 2 shows the frame of the kinematic convertible top of the car according to FIG. 1 in an intermediate position, with the cover omitted, in a perspective view from the same direction as FIG. 1 and 3 and 4 different positions of the frame of the kinematic convertible top of the car according to FIG. 1, in a side view.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically a body for a convertible coupe.
  • the body has a front area 1 with wheel cutouts 2 for front wheels, a passenger compartment 3 adjoining the front area 1 and a rear area 4. In the transition between the passenger compartment 3 and the rear area 4 there are wheel cutouts 5 for rear wheels at the bottom.
  • the body contains a door cutout, the front end of which is delimited by an A pillar 5 and the rear end by a B pillar 6.
  • the A-pillar 5 continues upwards 1 in the area of a windshield 7, while the B-pillar stops at the level of the parapet, ie below the window edge.
  • the passenger compartment 3 is covered by a kinematic or folding top 8, the reference 9 of which can be seen in FIG. 1, while FIG. 2 shows the frame 11 belonging to the folding top 8 in a highly schematic manner. It is shown in perspective in FIG. 2 in an intermediate position between the fully open and the fully closed position.
  • the cover 9 of the kinematic convertible top 8 extends from the upper edge of the windshield 7 to a rear lower edge 12, which shows the position of the parapet in the rear area 4.
  • a cutout of the cover 9 contains a rear window 13 made of an elastic, transparent material.
  • the cover 9 extends to the upper edges of side windows 14 and 15.
  • the frame 11 includes two side roof frames 16 and 17, which are identical in mirror symmetry. It is therefore sufficient to describe one of the two roof frames 16 and 17 in detail. The explanation applies accordingly for the other roof frame 16, 17, the components of which are provided with the same reference numerals.
  • the frame 11 is provided for a convertible top 8 with an odd number of sections, in the special case with three sections. Accordingly, the roof frame 16, like the roof frame 17, is composed of three frame pieces 18, 19 and 21. When the roof 8 is closed, these roof frames 16 and 17 each run above the upper edges of the side windows 14 and 15.
  • a fitting 22 is fastened in the body approximately above the rear wheel cutout 5, to which the rear frame piece 18 is hinged with a hinge 23.
  • the axis of rotation of the hinge 23 is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
  • the rear frame piece 18 is a curved strut which roughly follows the contour of the rear window edge of the rear side window 15.
  • the rear frame piece 18 is rotatably connected to the middle frame piece 19 via a hinge 24, which is axially parallel to the hinge 23.
  • this middle frame piece 19 runs above the upper window edge of the rear side window 15 and the front side window 14.
  • the middle frame piece 19 is consequently considerably more elongated than the rear frame piece 18.
  • the middle frame piece 19 At a corresponding distance from the upper edge of the windshield 7 ends the middle frame piece 19 at a stop 25 which cooperates with a closed top 8 with a complementary stop 26 of the front frame piece 21.
  • the front frame portion 21 is bemes ⁇ sen that it runs from the central frame member 19 up to the upper edge of the windshield. 7
  • the middle frame piece 19 and the front frame piece 21 are by means of a parallelogram link arrangement 27 connected with each other.
  • This parallelogram link arrangement 27 comprises a front parallelogram link 28 and a rear parallelogram link 29.
  • These parallelogram links 28, 29 have approximately the same length and they are connected at their lower end with hinges 31 and 32 so as to be rotatable with the central frame piece 16.
  • the axes of these hinges 31 and 32 are parallel to the axes of the hinges 24 and 23.
  • the upper ends of the links are hinged to the front frame piece 21 with the aid of further hinges 33 and 34 which are axially parallel to the aforementioned hinges.
  • the length of the handlebars 28 and 29 and the position of the hinges 31, 32 on the middle Rahraen Zealand 19 as well as the position of the hinges 33 and 34 on the front frame piece 21 are dimensioned so that the front frame piece 21 in extension of the middle when the top is closed Frame piece 19 extends while the stop 26 abuts the stop 25.
  • These two stops 25 and 26 are set somewhat obliquely in such a way that during the closing movement the front frame piece 21 coming from above finds a stop on the stop 25 which blocks a downward movement.
  • the links 28 and 29 are otherwise mounted so that the front frame piece 21 can move through an area located above the frame piece 19, i.e.
  • the hinge 33 does not entirely describe a semicircle, which is located approximately half above the central frame piece 19.
  • the hinge 34 likewise describes a semicircle above the central frame piece 19, but this semicircle is offset backwards in relation to the former in the direction of the rear end of the frame piece 19.
  • a two-armed control lever 35 is provided. Without this control lever 35, each of the frame pieces 18, 19 and 21 could be moved separately without changing the position of the other frame pieces.
  • the control lever 35 is a strut which follows the contour of the frame piece 18 and is hinged to the fitting 22 fixed to the body by means of a hinge 36. From here, the control lever 35 runs approximately parallel to the frame piece 18 up to the middle frame piece 19. On the middle frame piece 19 it is hinged between the hinge 32 and the hinge 24 by means of a hinge 37. This creates a kind of parallelogram handlebar, which serves to prevent the middle frame piece 19 from folding down as soon as the roof frame 16 - and correspondingly applies to the roof frame 17 - no longer rests on the upper edge of the windshield 7.
  • the control lever 35 runs between the side window 15 and the frame piece 18.
  • the control lever 35 is extended upwards beyond the hinge 37 and there forms a section 38 which is connected to the rear link 29 via a link guide 39.
  • the link guide 39 comprises an elongated hole 41 which extends in the handlebar 29 in its longitudinal direction and a pin 42 which projects into the elongated hole 41 and which represents the complementary link block.
  • a lever could also be used, which is arranged between the control lever 35 and the rear link 29.
  • the arrangement in the area of the roof frame 17 is mirror-image insofar as the mirror-symmetrical link arrangement 27 as well as the mirror-symmetrical control lever 35 and the mirror-symmetrical fitting 22 are present there.
  • all of the hinges mentioned, which connect the roof frame sections 18, 19 and 21 to one another or to the links 28, 29 and the control lever 35, are axially parallel to one another and the axes of the left sides are aligned with the axes of the right side of the frame 11.
  • the two front frame pieces 21 are rigidly connected to one another on the left and the right side by means of a crossbar 43.
  • This bow 43 carries at the same time the locking members, namely in a known design, which serve to lock the open roof 8 on the upper edge of the windshield 7.
  • Another bow 44 immovably connects the two front frame pieces 21 in the vicinity of their closer hinge 34.
  • the area of the handlebar arrangement 39 in the frame pieces 19 is free of bows. These middle frame pieces 19 are only rigidly connected to one another again in the vicinity of the hinge 24 below by means of a bow 45.
  • a further bow 46 is hinged to a roll bar 47 with the aid of hinges 48.
  • the roll bar 47 is rigidly anchored in the body.
  • the convertible top 8 has a last or lower bow 49 at the level of the parapet is also hinged to the fitting 22 with the aid of hinges 51.
  • the frame 11 in the practically designed shape of the top 8 is expediently embedded between the outer waterproof cover 9 and a headliner, which cannot be seen in the figures.
  • at least the cover 9 is connected in a known manner at suitable points to the bars and the roof frames 16, 17;
  • the anchoring points for attaching reference 9 are not illustrated for the sake of clarity, since they are not necessary for understanding the invention and would only overload the drawings with details.
  • the roll bar 47 is used as a bow to stiffen the convertible top 8, namely the upper, transverse part of the roll bar 47. Since this is located within the two roof frames 16 and 17, the opening and closing movement of the convertible top 8 is not obstructed, its transverse part is shorter than the bow or the required width of the convertible top 8.
  • a rod-shaped stiffening member is provided on the cover 9 52 attached, which is indicated in Fig. 1 by dashed lines. When the convertible top is closed, the rod-shaped stiffening member 52 lies on the transverse part of the roll bar 47 and thus supports the parts of the cover 9 projecting laterally beyond the roll bar 47.
  • 3 and 4 show a side view of the left side of the frame 11, the frame pieces 18, 19 and 21 and the associated lever, in different open positions.
  • the two frame pieces 19, 21 essentially follow the contour of the upper edge of the two side windows 14 and 15.
  • the hinge 24 is located or the hinge 37.
  • the control lever 35 and the rear frame piece 18 follow the corresponding window edge of the rear side window 15 set back its outer contour.
  • the cover 9 is held taut between the bow 43 and the bow 49, starting from the windshield 7, first by the bow 43, then the bow 44, and subsequently by the bow 45 in the transverse direction.
  • the next bracing is the Strak 52, which rests on the roll bar 47.
  • the bow 46 which is hinged to the roll bar 47 and finally at the level of the parapet along the contour line 12 by the bow 49.
  • the articulated hinge bow 49 can be raised relative to the parapet of the rear area 4 by opening corresponding locking elements (not shown) on the inside. This makes the room in the area of the "parcel shelf" accessible from the outside. In this area the convertible top is housed in a convertible. Due to the movable attachment of the bow 49, this storage space for the convertible top 8 is accessible from the outside and can be used as a separate stowage or luggage compartment with the convertible top 8 closed, which can be easily reached from the outside.
  • the locking members are opened, which connect the bow 43 to the upper edge of the windshield 7 in a form-fitting manner. Then the convertible top 8 can be held on this bow 43 and moved rearward in the direction of its storage space.
  • the two frame pieces 18 and 19 fold together on the hinge 24, preventing the middle frame piece 19 from falling off the lower part of the control lever 35, which acts like a parallelogram handlebar.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show a view of the left side of the vehicle - swivels the rear frame piece 18 clockwise around its hinge 23. A movement parallel or in the same direction to this the control lever 35 also does in its lower region, but around the hinge 36. This return movement of the rear frame piece 18 leads to a flap-like closing movement between the frame piece 18 and the frame piece 19.
  • the second link 28 essentially forces a parallel displacement of the front frame piece 21 with respect to the middle frame piece 19, so that its underside does not stop pointing downwards, while the front frame piece 21 extends from a position in extension the frame piece 19 is transferred to a position above the frame piece 19.
  • 3 and 4 show how the frame piece 21 moves increasingly over the frame piece 19 when the top 8 is opened.
