• the network is connected on the one hand in the region of a front edge region of a roof opening with the vehicle roof and on the other hand with a substantially U-shaped bracket, the two free legs each form a so-called Ausstellarm, with its end of the vehicle rear end facing in the region of a roof-fixed guide rail is hinged pivotally.
• the Ausstellarme serve to adjust the Ab ⁇ weiserelements between a lowered rest position and a configured ⁇ presented, at least partially tensioned operating position.
• BESTATIGUNGSKOPIE Network formed deflector element in the operating position has a very steep or almost vertical angle of attack, which nachtei ⁇ lig effect in terms of the resulting during the journey of the motor vehicle noise.
• a wind deflector of an apparent vehicle roof which comprises a deflector element, which is formed from a flexible film.
• the film is adjustable by means of extension arms in Radio Tel ⁇ ment.
• the Ausstellarme have at their rear end in each case a slot in which a roof-solid pin is guided, about the axis of the respective extension arm is pivotable. When lowering the wind deflector, the extension arms are moved in the direction of the rear of the vehicle.
• DE 102 48 864 B3 discloses a wind deflector for an openable vehicle roof, which has an exposed wind deflector blade which is fastened to lateral extension arms.
• the extension arms are mounted with their rear ends on a ver ⁇ slidably mounted in the region of roof-mounted guide rails pivot axis and displaceable over a pin-slide track arrangement when lowering to the rear.
• the track has the shape of a curve whose apex lies behind.
• the core of the invention is thus that the Ausstellarmen in addition to a pivoting movement and a translational movement is enforced gene.
• the articulation of the extension arms is not roofproof. Kir ⁇ more, the pivot points of the opening arms are changeable.
• an optimized position of the extension arms for the rest position of the deflector element and, on the other hand, a noise and function-optimized angle of attack of the deflector element can be selected.
• the angle of attack of the deflector element is dependent on the amount of displacement of the opening arms in their pivoting movement.
• the exhibitable deflector element may consist of any flexible, flat material.
• the wind deflector according to the invention is suitable for use with a deflector element designed as a fine-meshed net, which can be installed, for example, in the case of large glass roofs or the like.
• a deflector element designed as a fine-meshed net which can be installed, for example, in the case of large glass roofs or the like.
• the actuation of the extension arms of the wind deflector according to the invention is expediently carried out by means of the cover element of the disclosed vehicle roof.
• the cover element acts with the top of the Ausstellar- me together so that it locks the issuing of the deflector element with the roof closed and releases the preferably in the Aus ⁇ adjusting direction biased opening arms with the roof open.
• the lid member runs on the opening arms, so that they are pivoted back into their retracted position of rest.
• the extension arms of the wind deflector according to the invention may be part of a substantially U-shaped, integrally manufactured carrier for the deflector element. It is also conceivable, of course, that the opening arms represent separate components that may support the deflector element only in lateral edge areas. A connection between the two laterally arranged Ausstellarmen is then possibly not erforder ⁇ Lich.
• the retraction device respectively assigned to the extension arms is formed by a mechanical positive control which, when swung out, forms a linear translatory movement in the direction of the vehicle rear end and a linear translatory movement in the direction of pivoting Imposes vehicle front.
• a mechanical positive control which, when swung out, forms a linear translatory movement in the direction of the vehicle rear end and a linear translatory movement in the direction of pivoting Imposes vehicle front.
• the return device designed as a mechanical positive control, comprises a lever which is deflected at one end in a central region of the respective extension arm and at its other end.
• the extension arms which each have a variable point of articulation at their rear ends in the area of a roof-fixed guide rail, experience an offset in the direction of the vehicle rear in the course of their deployment movement by the respective associated lever.
• the retraction device comprises a slide track.
• the ball rail serves to guide a guide element, in particular a pin, formed on the respective extension arm, so that the extension arm is forced in the direction of the vehicle rear in the course of its deployment movement.
• the adjusting arms can each also be designed as a slide track on which a roof-mounted guide element engages.
• a guide device for guiding along the respectively associated roof-fixed guide rail for the stay arms of the wind deflector according to the invention. This ensures that the articulation point of the respective extension arm always has a defined position.
• the guide device is realized, for example, by a substantially horizontally aligned slot in which a guide member connected to the respective extension arm, such as a bolt, engages.
• Windabwei ⁇ sers An embodiment of an inventively designed Windabwei ⁇ sers is shown schematically simplified in the drawing and will be explained in more detail in the following description. It shows

• Fig. 3 is an interior view of the area shown in Fig. 2; and
• FIG. 4 shows an external view of a region of the wind deflector which surrounds the retraction device.
• a wind deflector 10 is shown, which is arranged in the region of the front edge of a roof opening 12 of an otherwise unspecified darge presented motor vehicle.
• the roof opening 12 is selectively closable or at least partially apparent by means of a cover element (not shown here in greater detail).
• the wind deflector 10 is mirror-symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal center plane of the motor vehicle and will therefore be explained below only with reference to its left-hand subarea.
• the roof opening 12 is bounded on both sides by a guide rail 14, which is part of a roof frame.
• a base 16 In the front region of the guide rails 14 is in each case a base 16 made ⁇ forms, which is part of the wind deflector 10 and for supporting a substantially U-shaped carrier profile 18 which connects the two loveds ⁇ rails 14 to each other and on which an exhibitable Abweisere ⁇ Lement 20 is suspended, which consists of a fine-meshed network and fixed at its edge facing away from the carrier profile 18 is fixed roof.
