This restricts headroom for the occupants.
  • the linkage parts and joints are disturbing in the opening in the field of view, and there is a risk of trapping between closing arms of this linkage parts.
  • a considerable amount of panels in the rear roof unit and the upstream roof part must be provided in order to avoid, at least when the roof is closed, that the linkage parts are visible.

Since the upstream roof part anyway in a stored position opposite to the rear roof part is oriented and arched, is available for the swiveled C-pillars enough space without the thickness of the stored roof package would have to increase. In particular, the C-pillars can be pivoted into the cavity between counter-curved roof parts.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un véhicule cabriolet (1) comprenant une unité toit arrière (3) comportant une lunette arrière (6), et un élément toit (4) placé en amont de l'unité (3) dans le sens de la marche lorsque le toit est en position fermée. Lors de l'ouverture du toit, l'unité toit arrière (3) bascule vers l'arrière et l'élément toit amont (4) se rabat sur l'unité toit arrière (3). Lorsque le toit (2) est fermé, au moins une unité toit avant (5) prolonge l'élément toit amont (4) dans le sens de marche (F), l'unité toit avant (5) étant mobile par rapport à l'élément toit amont (4) lorsque le toit est ouvert. L'invention est caractérisée en ce que l'élément toit amont (4) se rabat sur l'unité toit arrière (3) à l'aide d'au moins un arbre rotatif (A) qui est associé à l'unité toit arrière et dont la rotation est convertie en déplacement de l'élément toit amont (4) et de l'unité toit avant (5) respectivement autour d'au moins un axe perpendiculaire au véhicule (1).
