Definitions

  • the invention relates to a convertible top for a convertible vehicle, comprising the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the clamping bracket rests on the top compartment lid.
  • the clamping bracket is pivoted upwards in the direction of the bow.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the top cover can be overstretched, so that there is a risk of damage to the top cover.
  • 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.
  • this object is achieved by the folding top having the features of patent claim 1 .
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • any tension in the fabric that could lead to excessive stress on the soft top cover can be counteracted.
  • the lifting links are each driven via an adjusting link, which in turn is preferably articulated to the clamping bracket.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the clamping bracket is mounted directly on the main links.
  • the clamping bracket 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.
  • 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.
  • 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:
  • FIG. 1 shows a highly schematic side view of a convertible vehicle with a top according to the invention in its top position
  • FIG. 2 shows a side view of a top linkage of the top according to FIG. 1 in the top position
  • FIG. 3 shows a side view of the top linkage corresponding to FIG. 2, but in an intermediate position with the clamping bracket raised;
  • FIG. 4 shows a side view of the top linkage in its storage position;
  • FIG. 5 shows an inside view of the top linkage in the top position
  • FIG. 6 shows an inside view of the top linkage in the intermediate position
  • FIG. 7 shows an interior view of the top linkage in the storage position
