Description

Verdeck für ein Cabriolet-Fahrzeug mit Querspriegel Soft top for a convertible vehicle with a transverse bow
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verdeck für ein Cabriolet-Fahrzeug, umfassend die Merkmale des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruchs 1. The invention relates to a convertible top for a convertible vehicle, comprising the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.
Ein derartiges Verdeck, das als Faltverdeck ausgebildet ist, ist aus der Druckschrift DE 102009024490 B4 bekannt und umfasst ein Verdeckgestänge, mittels dessen ein Verdeckbezug, der aus einem faltbaren Material gefertigt ist, zwischen einer einen Fahrzeuginnenraum überspannenden Verdeckstellung und einer den Fahrzeuginnenraum nach oben freigebenden Ablagestellung verstellbar ist, in der das Verdeck heckseitig von dem Fahrzeuginnenraum in einem Verdeckkasten bzw. einem Verdeckablageraum angeordnet ist. Der Verdeckablageraum ist mit einem Verdeckkastendeckel versehen, der zum Verstellen des Verdecks aus einer Schließstellung in eine Öffnungsstellung gebracht werden kann. Das Verdeckgestänge umfasst bezogen auf eine vertikale Verdecklängsmittelebene beidseits jeweils eine Lenkeranordnung, die an einem jeweiligen fahrzeugfesten Hauptlager gelagert ist und ein Hauptmehrgelenk mit einem ersten Hauptlenker und einem zweiten Hauptlenker umfasst. Um den Verdeckstoff in Fahrzeuglängsrichtung zu spannen, weist das Verdeckgestänge einen heckseitigen Spannbügel auf, der den Verdeckbezug in der Verdeckstellung heckseitig begrenzt und der mit seinen beiden seitlichen Enden jeweils an einem der Hauptlager schwenkbar gelagert ist. In der Verdeckstellung liegt der Spannbügel auf dem Verdeckkastendeckel auf. Zum Öffnen des Verdeckkastendeckels wird der Spannbügel in Bugrichtung nach oben verschwenkt.Such a top, which is designed as a folding top, is known from the document DE 102009024490 B4 and comprises a top linkage, by means of which a top cover made of a foldable material, between a top position spanning a vehicle interior and a storage position releasing the vehicle interior upwards is adjustable, in which the top is arranged at the rear of the vehicle interior in a top compartment or a top storage space. The storage space for the top is provided with a top compartment cover, which can be brought from a closed position into an open position in order to adjust the top. In relation to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the top, the top linkage comprises a link arrangement on both sides, which is mounted on a respective main bearing fixed to the vehicle and comprises a main multi-joint with a first main link and a second main link. In order to tension the top material in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the top linkage has a rear-side clamping bracket which delimits the top cloth in the top position at the rear and which is pivotably mounted with its two lateral ends on one of the main bearings. When the top is in the position, the clamping bracket rests on the top compartment lid. To open the convertible top compartment lid, the clamping bracket is pivoted upwards in the direction of the bow.
Des Weiteren umfasst das Verdeckgestänge einen als Eckspriegel ausgebildeten Querspriegel, der einen Übergang zwischen einem den Fahrzeuginnenraum oben begrenzenden Dachabschnitt und einem eine Heckscheibe aufnehmenden Heckabschnitt des Verdecks definiert. Der Eckspriegel ist an dem Spannbügel gelagert. Bei dem vorstehend beschriebenen Verdeck besteht das Problem, dass der Eckspriegel bei einem Anheben des Spannbügels zum Verlagern eines Verdeckkastendeckels zwischen einer Öffnungsstellung und einer Schließstellung im Kopfkreis eines Fahrzeuginsassen angeordnet ist. Dies beeinträchtigt die Möglichkeiten, das Verdeck auch im voll belegten Zustand des Fahrzeuginnenraums zu betätigen, ohne die Fahrzeuginsassen zu beeinträchtigen. Zudem kann es aufgrund der Lage des Eckspriegels zu Überdehnungen des Verdeckbezugs kommen, so dass das Risiko einer Beschädigung desselben besteht.Furthermore, the top linkage comprises a cross bow designed as a corner bow, which defines a transition between a roof section delimiting the vehicle interior at the top and a rear section of the top accommodating a rear window. The corner bow is mounted on the clamping bracket. In the case of the top described above, there is the problem that the corner bow is arranged in the head circle of a vehicle occupant when the clamping bracket is raised to move a top compartment cover between an open position and a closed position. This impairs the ability to operate the convertible top even when the vehicle interior is fully occupied, without affecting the vehicle occupants. In addition, due to the position of the corner bow, the top cover can be overstretched, so that there is a risk of damage to the top cover.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verdeck der einleitend genannten Gattung zu schaffen, durch das im Vergleich zu dem oben beschriebenen Verdeck der Insassenkomfort erhöht ist und gleichzeitig das Risiko einer Beschädigung des Verdeckbezugs reduziert ist. The invention is based on the object of creating a top of the type mentioned in the introduction, through which the comfort of the occupants is increased in comparison to the top described above and at the same time the risk of damage to the top cover is reduced.
Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß durch das Verdeck mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the folding top having the features of patent claim 1 .
Das Verdeck nach der Erfindung, das ein Faltverdeck darstellt, hat also ein Verdeckgestänge, bei dem ein Querspriegel, der insbesondere einen Eckspriegel bildet, durch die Betätigung eines heckseitigen Spannbügels gegenüber den Hauptlagem angehoben werden kann, und zwar dadurch, dass die beidseits angeordneten Hublenker, an denen der Querspriegel gelagert ist, betätigt werden. Dadurch ist es möglich, den Spannbüge] zur Betätigung eines Deckels eines Verdeckablageraums, in dem das Verdeck in seiner Ablagestellung abgelegt ist, so anzuheben, dass der Eckspriegel ebenfalls verschwenkt wird, hierbei aber außerhalb eines Kopfkreises von gegebenenfalls im Fond des Fahrzeuginnenraums sitzenden Fahrzeuginsassen bleibt. Dies bedeutet, dass der Querspriegel die Bewegungsfreiheit der Fahrzeuginsassen auch während der Betätigung des Verdecks nicht in störender Weise einschränkt. Die Betätigung der Hublenker wird allein durch das Verschwenken des Spannbügels ausgelöst. Zudem kann durch das Anheben des Querspriegels etwaigen Stoffspannungen entgegengewirkt werden, die zu einer übermäßigen Beanspruchung des Verdeckbezugs führen könnten. The top according to the invention, which represents a folding top, has a top linkage in which a transverse bow, which in particular forms a corner bow, can be raised by actuating a rear-side clamping bracket in relation to the main bearings, namely in that the lifting links arranged on both sides, on which the cross bow is mounted, can be actuated. This makes it possible to lift the clamping bracket for actuating a cover of a convertible top storage space, in which the convertible top is stored in its storage position, in such a way that the corner bow is also pivoted, but remains outside a head circle of vehicle occupants who may be sitting in the rear of the vehicle interior. This means that the transverse bow does not restrict the freedom of movement of the vehicle occupants in a disruptive manner, even when the convertible top is being operated. The actuation of the lifting link is triggered solely by pivoting the clamping bracket. In addition, by raising the transverse bow, any tension in the fabric that could lead to excessive stress on the soft top cover can be counteracted.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Verdecks nach der Erfindung sind die Hublenker jeweils über einen Stelllenker angetrieben, der vorzugsweise wiederum an den Spannbügel angelenkt ist. In diesem Falle erfolgt also der Antrieb des Querspriegels beidseits jeweils durch einen sogenannten Zweischlag, der aus dem betreffenden Hublenker und dem betreffenden Stelllenker gebildet ist. Das Verschwenken des Spannbügels leitet über die Stelllenker ein Antriebsmoment in die Hublenker ein. In a preferred embodiment of the top according to the invention, the lifting links are each driven via an adjusting link, which in turn is preferably articulated to the clamping bracket. In this case, the transverse bow is driven on both sides in each case by a so-called two-stroke, which is formed from the lifting link in question and the adjusting link in question. The pivoting of the clamping bracket introduces a drive torque into the lifting link via the adjusting link.
Bei einer speziellen Ausführungsform des Verdecks nach der Erfindung sind die Hublenker jeweils mit drei Gelenkpunkten versehen, nämlich mit einem ersten Gelenkpunkt, über den sie jeweils an den Querspriegel bzw. einen betreffenden Lagerbügel des Querspriegels angelenkt sind, einem zweiten Gelenkpunkt, über den sie jeweils an den betreffenden Stelllenker angelenkt sind, und einem dritten Gelenkpunkt, über den sie jeweils an einem der betreffenden Hauptlenker gelagert sind und der zwischen dem ersten Gelenkpunkt und dem zweiten Gelenkpunkt angeordnet ist. Die Hublenker sind also jeweils wippenartig an einem der Hauptlenker gelagert und nach Art von Dreiecklenkern ausgebildet. In a special embodiment of the top according to the invention, the lifting links are each provided with three pivot points, namely with a first pivot point via which they are each pivoted to the transverse bow or a relevant bearing bracket of the transverse bow, a second pivot point via which they are each are articulated to the control arm concerned, and a third articulation point, via which they are each mounted on one of the main arm concerned and which is arranged between the first articulation point and the second articulation point. The lifting links are each mounted like a rocker on one of the main links and are designed in the manner of triangular links.
Das Verdeck nach der Erfindung, das ein Spannbügelverdeck ist, ist vorzugsweise so ausgebildet, dass der Spannbügel beidseits jeweils über einen Spannbügelgelenkpunkt an einen der betreffenden Hauptlenker angelenkt ist. In diesem Falle ist also der Spannbügel direkt an den Hauptlenkem gelagert. Denkbar ist es aber auch, dass der Spannbügel mit einem Absenkhebel verbunden ist, so dass er zwar einerseits zum Verstellen eines Verdeckkastendeckels angehoben werden kann, jedoch andererseits auch zum Ablegen des Verdecks in den Verdeckablageraum abgesenkt werden kann. The hood according to the invention, which is a tension bow hood, is preferably designed in such a way that the tension bow is articulated on both sides via a tension bow articulation point to one of the relevant main links. In this case, the clamping bracket is mounted directly on the main links. However, it is also conceivable for the clamping bracket to be connected to a lowering lever, so that it can be raised to adjust a convertible top compartment lid, but can also be lowered to store the convertible top in the convertible top storage space.
Wie oben bereits erwähnt, ist der Querspriegel, der mittels des Spannbügels über die Hublenker betätigbar ist, vorzugsweise ein Eckspriegel. Ein Eckspriegel bildet an einem Faltverdeck einen Querspriegel, der einen Übergang zwischen einem Dachabschnitt, der den Fahrzeuginnenraum überdeckt, und einem Heckabschnitt definiert, in dem insbesondere ein Heckfenster angeordnet ist und der ausgehend von dem Dachabschnitt in Heckrichtung abfällt. Der Übergang zwischen dem Dachabschnitt und dem Heckabschnitt kann fließend sein, d. h, es muss kein abrupter Übergang ausgebildet sein. As already mentioned above, the transverse bow, which can be actuated by means of the clamping bow via the lifting link, is preferably a corner bow. A corner bow forms a transverse bow on a folding top, which defines a transition between a roof section that covers the vehicle interior and a rear section in which a rear window is arranged in particular and which slopes down from the roof section in the rear direction. The transition between the roof section and the rear section can be fluid, i. h, no abrupt transition need be formed.
Die Erfindung hat auch ein Cabriolet-Fahrzeug zum Gegenstand, das ein Verdeck der vorstehend beschriebenen Art umfasst. Ein Ausftihrungsbeispiel eines Verdecks nach der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung schematisch vereinfacht dargestellt und wird in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert. Es zeigt: The subject of the invention is also a convertible vehicle comprising a hood of the type described above. An exemplary embodiment of a folding top according to the invention is shown schematically simplified in the drawing and is explained in more detail in the following description. It shows:

In the drawing, a convertible vehicle 10 is shown, which is provided with a folding top 12, which is covered between a top position shown with reference to Figures 1, 2 and 5, in which a vehicle interior 14 of the convertible vehicle, and based on the figures 4 and 7 shown storage position adjustable is, in which it is stored in a rear-side convertible top storage space 16 of the convertible vehicle 10 . The top storage space 16 is provided with a top compartment cover, not shown here, which can be brought into an open position to adjust the folding top 12 from the top position into the storage position or from the storage position into the top position. In the top position of the folding top 12 and in the stowed position of the folding top 12, the storage space 16 for the top is closed by means of the top compartment lid, ie it assumes its closed position.
Das Faltverdeck 12 umfasst einen Verdeckbezug 18, welcher mittels eines Verdeckgestänges 20 aufspannbar ist und der sich in Verdecklängsrichtung zwischen einem Frontspriegel 22 und einem heckseitigen Spannbügel 24 erstreckt, der den Verdeckbezug 18 in der Verdeckstellung in Fahrzeuglängsrichtung unter Spannung hält und auf dem Verdeckkastendeckel aufliegt. Zwischen dem Frontspriegel 22 und dem Spannbügel 24 läuft der Verdeckbezug 18 über vier Querspriegel 26, 28, 30 und 32, wobei der Querspriegel 32 einen sogenannten Eckspriegel bildet, der einen Übergang zwischen einem Dachabschnitt, der oberhalb des Fahrzeuginnenraums 14 liegt, und einem Heckabschnitt definiert, der in Richtung Fahrzeugheck bis zu dem Spannbügel 24 abfällt und eine Heckscheibe 34 aufnimmt. Der Eckspriegel ist der Querspriegel, der in Fahrzeugbugrichtung auf die Heckscheibe 34 folgt. The folding top 12 comprises a top cover 18, which can be stretched by means of a top linkage 20 and which extends in the longitudinal direction of the top between a front bow 22 and a rear clamping bracket 24, which keeps the top cover 18 under tension in the top position in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and rests on the top compartment lid. The top cover 18 runs between the front bow 22 and the tension bracket 24 over four cross bows 26, 28, 30 and 32, with the cross bow 32 forming a so-called corner bow, which defines a transition between a roof section, which lies above the vehicle interior 14, and a rear section , which drops towards the rear of the vehicle up to the clamping bracket 24 and a rear window 34 receives. The corner bow is the transverse bow that follows the rear window 34 in the direction of the front of the vehicle.
Das Verdeckgestänge 20 umfasst bezogen auf eine vertikale Verdecklängsmittelebene beidseits jeweils eine Lenkeranordnung 36, welche an einem jeweiligen karosseriefesten Hauptlager 38 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Der Frontspriegel 22, die Querspriegel 26, 28,The top linkage 20 comprises a link arrangement 36 on both sides, based on a vertical longitudinal center plane of the top, which is pivotably mounted on a respective main bearing 38 fixed to the body. The front bow 22, the cross bows 26, 28,
30 und 32 und der Spannbügel 24 erstrecken sich zwischen den beidseits angeordneten Lenkeranordnungen 36. 30 and 32 and the clamping bracket 24 extend between the link assemblies 36 arranged on both sides.
In der Zeichnung ist der Übersichtlichkeit halber lediglich die bezogen auf die Vorwärtsfahrtrichtung des betreffenden Fahrzeugs links angeordnete Lenkeranordnung 36 dargestellt. Die rechts angeordnete Lenkeranordnung ist spiegelsymmetrisch zu dieser ausgebildet und ergibt sich mithin zwanglos aus der nachstehenden Beschreibung.For the sake of clarity, the drawing only shows the link arrangement 36 which is arranged on the left in relation to the forward direction of travel of the vehicle in question. The link arrangement arranged on the right is mirror-symmetrical to the latter and is therefore evident from the following description.
Die beidseits angeordneten Lenkeranordnungen 36 weisen jeweils ein Hauptmehrgelenk 40 auf, das zwei Hauptlenker 42 und 44 umfasst, die jeweils schwenkbar an dem betreffenden Hauptlager 38 gelagert sind. Der Hauptlenker 42 ist eine sogenannte Hauptsäule, an der ein Dichtungselement 46 einer aus mehreren miteinander fluchtenden Dichtungselementen gebildeten Dichtungsanordnung 48 befestigt ist, die das Faltverdeck 12 seitlich begrenzt und die sich entlang eines oberen Rands eines seitlichen Fensterausschnitts in Dachlängsrichtung erstreckt (vgl. Figur 1). An den Hauptlenker 42 ist über einen Gelenkpunkt 62 ein Dichtungslenker 64 angelenkt, an dem ein Dichtungsteil 65 der Dichtungsanordnung 48 befestigt ist. Mit seinem dem Gelenkpunkt 62 abgewandten Ende ist der Dichtungslenker 64 über ein Kugelgelenk 66 mit einem Koppellenker 68 verbunden, der über ein Kugelgelenk 70 an den Spannbügel 24 angelenkt ist.The link assemblies 36 arranged on both sides each have a main multi-joint 40, which comprises two main links 42 and 44, each of which can be pivoted on the relevant main bearing 38 are mounted. The main link 42 is a so-called main pillar, to which a sealing element 46 of a sealing arrangement 48 formed from a plurality of mutually aligned sealing elements is fastened, which delimits the folding top 12 laterally and which extends along an upper edge of a lateral window cutout in the longitudinal direction of the roof (cf. Figure 1). . A sealing link 64 is articulated to the main link 42 via a pivot point 62, to which a sealing part 65 of the sealing arrangement 48 is fastened. The end of the sealing link 64 facing away from the pivot point 62 is connected via a ball joint 66 to a coupling link 68 which is articulated to the clamping bracket 24 via a ball joint 70 .
Die Hauptlenker 42 und 44 sind jeweils zur Ausbildung eines Viergelenks mit einem Dachlenker 50 verbunden, welcher wiederum über eine Gelenkanordnung 52 mit einem Frontlenker 54 verbunden ist, an dem der Frontspriegel 22 gelagert ist. Zum Verstellen des Frontlenkers 54 gegenüber dem Dachlenker 50 ist ein Koppellenker 56 vorgesehen, der über einen Gelenkpunkt 58 an den Hauptlenker 44 angelenkt ist. The main links 42 and 44 are each connected to form a four-bar linkage with a roof link 50, which in turn is connected via a joint arrangement 52 to a front link 54 on which the front bow 22 is mounted. To adjust the front link 54 relative to the roof link 50 , a coupling link 56 is provided, which is articulated to the main link 44 via a pivot point 58 .
Der Spannbügel 24 ist bezogen auf die Verdecklängsmittelebene beidseits jeweils über einen Gelenkpunkt 60 an den betreffenden Hauptlenker 44 angelenkt. Um den Spannbügel 24 zwischen seiner in Figur 2 dargestellten Spannstellung und seiner in Figur 3 dargestellten Hubstellung verschwenken zu können, weisen die beidseits angeordneten Lenkeranordnungen 36 jeweils eine Spannstangenanordnung 72 auf, die sich zwischen dem Hauptlenker 44 und dem Spannbügel 24 erstreckt und zwei gelenkig miteinander verbundene Spannstangen 74 und 76 umfasst, von denen die Spannstange 74 an den Hauptlenker 44 angelenkt ist und die Spannstange 76 an den Spannbügel 24 angelenkt ist. Zum Antrieb ist die Spannstange 74 mit einem Hydraulikzylinder 78 verbunden, der sich mit seinem der Spannstange 74 abgewandten Ende an der anderen Spannstange 76 abstützt. Die Heckscheibe 34 ist beidseits jeweils über eine Lenkereinheit 80 an den Spannstangenanordnungen 72 gelagert. In relation to the longitudinal center plane of the top, the clamping bracket 24 is articulated on both sides via a pivot point 60 to the relevant main link 44 . In order to be able to pivot the clamp 24 between its clamped position shown in FIG. 2 and its lifted position shown in FIG Includes tie rods 74 and 76, of which the tie rod 74 is articulated to the main link 44 and the tie rod 76 is articulated to the clamping bracket 24. For driving purposes, the tie rod 74 is connected to a hydraulic cylinder 78 which is supported on the other tie rod 76 with its end remote from the tie rod 74 . The rear window 34 is mounted on both sides via a link unit 80 on the tie rod arrangements 72 .
Um den als Eckspriegel ausgebildeten Querspriegel 32 beim Verstellen des Spannbügels 24 aus der abgelegten Spannstellung in die angehobene Hubstellung ebenfalls anheben und damit aus dem Kopfkreis eines gegebenenfalls im Fahrzeuginnenraum 14 sitzenden Fahrzeuginsassen zu bringen, ist der Querspriegel 32 beidseits jeweils über einen Lagerbügel 82 in einem Gelenkpunkt 84 an einem Hublenker 86 gelagert, welcher wiederum über einen Gelenkpunkt 88 schwenkbar an dem betreffenden Hauptlenker 44 gelagert ist. Auf der dem Gelenkpunkt 84 abgewandten Seite des Gelenkpunkts 88 ist der Hublenker 86 in einem Gelenkpunkt 90 mit einem Stelllenker 92 verbunden, der in einem Gelenkpunkt 94 an den Spannbügel 24 angelenkt ist. In order to also lift the cross bow 32 designed as a corner bow when adjusting the tension bow 24 from the stowed clamped position to the raised lifting position and thus to bring it out of the head circle of a vehicle occupant who may be sitting in the vehicle interior 14, the cross bow 32 is on both sides via a bearing bow 82 in a hinge point 84 mounted on a lifting link 86, which is in turn mounted pivotably via a pivot point 88 on the relevant main link 44 . On the side of the pivot point 88 facing away from the pivot point 84 , the lifting link 86 is connected at a pivot point 90 to an adjusting link 92 which is articulated to the clamping bracket 24 at a pivot point 94 .
Das vorstehend beschriebene Faltverdeck 12 arbeitet in nachfolgend beschriebener Weise. The convertible top 12 described above operates in the manner described below.
Um das Faltverdeck 12 ausgehend von der in den Figuren 1, 2 und 5 dargestellten Verdeckstellung in seine in den Figuren 4, 7 und 9 dargestellte Ablagestellung zu bringen, wird zunächst der Spannbügel 24 durch Betätigung der Hydraulikzylinder 78 in seine in den Figuren 3, 6 und 8 dargestellte Hubstellung gebracht. Der Hydraulikzylinder wirkt hierbei auf die Spannstangen 74 und 76 der jeweiligen Spannstangenanordnung 72, so dass diese aus einer Strecksteilung in eine Knickstellung gebracht werden. Gleichzeitig wird durch den über den Koppellenker 68 an den Spannbügel 24 angelenkten Dichtungslenker 64 ein Dichtungselement 65 der Dichtungsanordnung 48 gegenüber dem Dichtungselement 46 angestellt. In order to bring the folding top 12 from the top position shown in Figures 1, 2 and 5 into its stowed position shown in Figures 4, 7 and 9, first the clamping bracket 24 is moved into its position shown in Figures 3, 6 by actuating the hydraulic cylinder 78 and 8 shown lifting position brought. The hydraulic cylinder acts on the tie rods 74 and 76 of the respective tie rod arrangement 72 so that these are brought from a stretched position into a buckling position. At the same time, a sealing element 65 of the sealing arrangement 48 is set in relation to the sealing element 46 by the sealing link 64 articulated on the clamping bracket 24 via the coupling link 68 .
Der Spannbügel 24 leitet bei seinem Verschwenken um die durch die Gelenkpunkte 60 definierte Schwenkachse über die Stelllenker 92 ein Verstellmoment in die betreffenden Hublenker 86 ein, so dass diese bezogen auf die in Figur 8 dargestellte Anordnung im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt werden, wodurch der in den Gelenkpunkten 84 angebundene Eckspriegel 32 eine Hubbewegung erfährt. Damit wird der Eckspriegel 32 mit hinreichendem Abstand zu einem Kopf eines etwaigen Fahrzeuginsassen gegenüber den Hauptlagern 38 verschwenkt (vgl. Figur 8). When it is pivoted about the pivot axis defined by pivot points 60, tension bracket 24 introduces an adjusting torque into the relevant lifting link 86 via adjusting link 92, so that these are pivoted clockwise in relation to the arrangement shown in Figure 8, as a result of which the in pivot points 84 connected Eckspriegel 32 undergoes a lifting movement. The corner bow 32 is thus pivoted at a sufficient distance from a head of any vehicle occupant in relation to the main bearings 38 (cf. FIG. 8).
Wenn nach dem Verstellen des Spannbügels 24 in seine Hubstellung der Verdeckkastendeckel in seine Öffnungsstellung gebracht wurde, kann der Spannbügel 24 wieder abgesenkt und das Faltverdeck 12 als Ganzes in dem Verdeckkasten abgelegt werden, woraufhin der Verdeckkastendeckel in seine Schließstellung verstellt werden kann.When the folding top compartment lid has been brought into its open position after the tensioning bracket 24 has been moved to its raised position, the tensioning bracket 24 can be lowered again and the folding top 12 can be placed in its entirety in the folding top compartment, whereupon the folding top compartment lid can be moved into its closed position.
Das Verstellen des Faltverdecks 12 aus der Ablagestellung in die Verdeckstellung erfolgt in analog umgekehrter Weise. Bezugszeichenliste The folding top 12 is adjusted from the storage position to the top position in a similarly reverse manner. reference list
