Definitions
- the present invention relates to a retractable vehicle roof, and more particularly such a roof comprising at least one front roof element, one rear roof element and two rigid side roof elements, which can be moved between a position in which they cover the passenger compartment of the vehicle and a position in which they are stored in the rear trunk of the vehicle, drive means being provided for folding down the side roof elements substantially perpendicular to the plane of symmetry of the vehicle around a substantially vertical axis of rotation.
- Such a retractable roof makes it possible to transform a vehicle of the sedan or coupe type into a vehicle of the convertible type.
- the present invention aims to overcome these difficulties.
- the subject of the invention is a retractable vehicle roof, comprising at least one front roof element, one rear roof element and two rigid lateral roof elements which can be moved between a position in which they cover the passenger compartment of the vehicle. and a position in which they are stored in the rear boot of the vehicle, drive means being provided for folding the side roof elements substantially perpendicular to the plane of symmetry of the vehicle around a substantially vertical axis of rotation, characterized by the that said drive means comprise a support plate mounted on said rear roof element and a drive plate integral with one of the side roof elements rotatably mounted on said support plate around said axis of rotation, the one of said plates carrying a finger engaged in a groove of the other plate, motor means being provided for d place said finger in relation to the plate which door so as to cause rotation of said side roof element with respect to said rear roof element by interaction of said finger with said groove.
- the plate which carries the finger may be limited to means for moving and guiding the finger.
- said groove is formed in the drive plate.
- said finger is arranged to be moved in translation substantially rectilinear.
- said finger can be driven by a nut guided in translation and mounted on a threaded rotary shaft driven by an electric motor.
- the said finger is driven by a cooperating rack moved by an electric motor.
- said electric motor is mounted in said rear roof element.
- said electric motor is mounted in said side roof element.
- Said motor means can be arranged to drive means for locking at least one roof element.
- said locking means may comprise at least one thrust pin driven by a nut guided in translation and mounted on a threaded rotary shaft driven by said electric motor.
- the roof according to the invention may also include slides arranged to cooperate with rollers integral with said roof elements, said locking means comprising ramps of said rack arranged to block said rollers on said slides.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a device according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a top view of another embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a side view in section of a retractable roof according to the invention corresponding to the embodiment of FIG. 2.
- a support plate 3 is fixed to the rear roof element 1.
- a drive plate 4 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 3 about an axis 5.
- a groove 6 forming a cam is formed in the drive plate 4.
- An electric motor 7 is also mounted in the rear element 1.
- a rod 8 is mounted on the motor output shaft, this rod having a threaded end 9.
- the threaded end 9 of the rod 8 is engaged in a nut 10 guided in rectilinear translation in a housing of the support plate 3.
- a finger 11 is integral with the nut 9 and can therefore be moved in translation by the motor 7 in the direction of the arrow 12.
- the finger 11 is engaged in the groove 8 so that the movement of the finger 11 causes a rotation of the drive plate 4 relative to the support plate 3.
- An arm 13 is mounted integral with the plate 4.
- the arm 13 carries the side roof element 2.
- the motor 7 can bring the element 2 from its covering position to its storage position, and vice versa.
- the motor 7 has a second outlet driving a rod 14.
- the end 15 of the rod 14 is threaded and cooperates with a nut 16 guided in translation.
- a pushing finger 17 is integral with the nut 16.
- roof locking means of any suitable type are actuated by the finger 17 pushing.
- the finger 20 engaged in the groove 21 is moved by a rack 22 actuated by an electric motor 23 housed in the side roof element 24.
- the driving of the motor 23 therefore causes, as before, the rotation of the element 24 around the axis 5.
- the element 24 is shown in FIG. 2 in its covering position and in its storage position.
- the front roof elements 25 and 26 are sliding in slides 27 and 28 of the lateral element 24, by means of rollers 29 and 30.
- the rack 22 has ramps 31 capable of locking the rollers 29 and 30.
- the end of the rack 22 cooperates with a hook 32 for locking on the top of the vehicle windshield.
- the rack 22 When the rack 22 is driven, it begins by unlocking the roof elements. The start of the groove 21 being rectilinear, the lateral element remains fixed. The front roof elements are then slid into the storage position, and the finger causes the rotation of the lateral element.
