Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a closed position or an opening in which the slats are pivoted on an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and close the roof opening by abutting each other without any gaps. The roof of a motor vehicle is provided with a series of slats that can be placed in an outward pivoting position.

In this type of known automobile roof ('$, National Patent No. 46
No. 8.048), the pivot axis of the vane is fixed.

The object of the invention is to construct a motor vehicle roof of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the roof opening can be completely opened, as in the case of conventional sliding roofs.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the vanes in the outwardly pivoted position can also be moved and brought together in the area of the leading edge of the roof opening. That is,
In the case of the automobile roof according to the invention, the pivot axes of the vanes other than the frontmost vane can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. In the assembled state, the slats free at least the woody part of the roof opening. In this case, the collected bundle of slats serves as a windbreak. That is, according to the automobile roof according to the invention, the functions conventionally achieved by the combination of a sliding roof and a windbreak (for example, West German Publication No. 2,644,848) can be achieved relatively easily.

A windshield glass that can be slid vertically within a guide provided on the upper longitudinal beam of the side wall of the vehicle, and is movable in the vertical direction of the vehicle relative to the vehicle body, and is placed in a position to deflect the wind when the canopy is opened. A canopy for an observation car with a canopy installed at the height of the canopy is already known (West German Patent No. 578,111). However, in this case the roof opening is closed by a separate canopy beyond the windshield.

The windshields cannot be placed in a position where they abut each other and close the roof opening. When closing the canopy, the windshield is slid together and stored in the front fixed hood.

For reasons of stability, it is expedient if the slats are guided in guide rails fixed to the roof and extending on both sides of the roof opening, such that they are slidable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the guide rails. .

In a further development of the invention, the slats are furthermore slidable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the guide grooves which extend on both sides of the roof opening and are movable for pivoting the slats. , is a guide. In this case, the engagement points between each vane and the guide rail and guide groove are eccentric with respect to each other. As a result, the structure of the vane rotating mechanism is particularly simple.

It is expedient if the guide rail forms a control groove, which is connected to the slat and into which the horizontally extending sliding jaw shaft engages. Alternatively, the sliding jaw shaft can be fixed to the vane plate and rotatably and slidably supported directly on the control fi''.

on both sides of the vane, each engaging with the corresponding guide groove;
It is advantageous to provide a pivoting lever which is advantageously spherical and has a free end. If the guide groove M is formed from a rotatable shaped body at the bend of the shaft parallel to the axis, a method for determining the M direction that is easy to draw can be obtained. However, in principle it is also possible to linearly slide the guide groove in a direction perpendicular to the grain.

In order to move the slats, two motors connected to a common drive pinion are used in a manner known in conventional sliding roofs.
A wooden pressure-resistant drive cable can be provided. In this case, on both sides of the roof opening there are linkages serving to pivot the pivotable form in question, each operatively connected to a drive cable so as to slide in the sliding direction of the foot and slats. It is expedient to provide a flexible guide slide. Both sides of the rearmost vane can each be connected to a sliding slide which can be slid to some extent in the sliding direction of the vane relative to the corresponding guide slide. Assemble the guide slide and sliding slider.
so as to be able to move in the sliding direction of the vane, via a drive joint which performs a movement that is structurally equivalent to the sliding movement of the guide slider required to pivot the vane between the closed position and the outwardly pivoted position. It is advantageous if they are interconnected.

If each vane except the rearmost vane is configured so that it is driven by the respective rear vane during sliding, the number of required drive elements is particularly reduced.

In this case, it may be expedient to connect the vanes to one another, preferably by means of flexible and/or longitudinally extensible connecting elements. Preferably, a stop is provided which determines the final position of the pivot axis of the vane during relative movement of the vane, so that the vane precisely assumes a predetermined position relative to the roof opening when pivoted into the closed position. The stopper comprises, in particular, a disc concentric with the pivot axis of the vane plate and having a different diameter for each vane plate, and a guide rail with a control groove on the other side and a correspondingly variable diameter plate. It can be formed from a disc and a cooperating control groove.

The invention will now be described with reference to preferred practical Mli examples shown in the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, the fixed roof part (Hj has four vanes u21.a:s, 04) and a roof opening Ql which can be closed by αG). The number of slats is, of course, not limited to four, but can be adapted to the requirements in question and the dimensions of the roof opening. Feather plates (2) to a9 are closed round 11/? They then abut against each other without any gaps to achieve the necessary sealing of the roof.

The structure of the slats and associated guide and drive elements is the same on both sides of the slats, so below only the structure of one side will be described.
