A convertible top having a top cover and a cover linkage adjustable between a closed position and a storage position and which has a linkage arrangement on each of its two sides linkage arrangement pivotably mounted on a respective main bearing, which is fixed to the vehicle, via a main multi-joint arrangement comprising two main links, a rear bow realized as a panel bow mounted on each of the bilaterally arranged linkage arrangements via a rear link arrangement. The two bilaterally arranged rear link arrangements can each be actuated by a drive lever, which drives the respective rear link arrangement starting from the closed position in a first opening phase while the main multi-joint arrangement is static and drives the respective rear link arrangement in the opposite direction of the respective main multi-joint arrangement in a second opening phase.
A top of a convertible vehicle, comprising a top cover and a top linkage which is adjustable between a closed position covering a vehicle interior and a storage position uncovering the vehicle interior toward the top and which has a linkage arrangement on each of its two sides with respect to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the top, each linkage arrangement being pivotably mounted on a respective main bearing, which is fixed to the vehicle, via a main multi-joint arrangement comprising two main links, a rear bow realized as a panel bow being mounted on each of the bilaterally arranged linkage arrangements via a rear link arrangement, said rear bow being arranged at the rear when the top linkage is in the closed position and extending in the transverse direction of the top, wherein the two bilaterally arranged rear link arrangements are each actuable by a drive lever which drives the respective rear link arrangement in a first opening phase starting from the closed position while the main multi-joint arrangement is static and which drives the respective rear link arrangement in the opposite direction of the respective main multi-joint arrangement in a second opening phase, and wherein the top linkage comprises at least four panel bows.
A top of a convertible vehicle, comprising a top cover and a top linkage which are adjustable between a closed position covering a vehicle interior and a storage position uncovering the vehicle interior toward the top and which has a linkage arrangement on each of its two sides with respect to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the top, each linkage arrangement being pivotably mounted on a respective main bearing, which is fixed to the vehicle, via a main multi-joint arrangement comprising two main links, the two main links of the main multi-joint arrangement being articulated to a center roof link to which two front links are articulated on which a front bow is mounted, wherein a center bow realized as a panel bow is mounted on the two front links, and wherein the top linkage comprises at least four panel bows.
A top of a convertible vehicle, comprising a top cover and a top linkage which are adjustable between a closed position covering a vehicle interior and a storage position uncovering the vehicle interior toward the top and which has a linkage arrangement on each of its two sides with respect to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the top, each linkage arrangement being pivotably mounted on a respective main bearing, which is fixed to the vehicle, via a main multi-joint arrangement comprising two main links, the two main links of the main multi-joint arrangement being articulated to a center roof link to which two front links are articulated on which a front bow is mounted, and a coupling rod being articulated to one of the main links the front links are pivotable in relation to the center roof link, wherein a transverse bow realized as a panel bow is articulated to the coupling rod on each of its two sides via two joint arrangements, and wherein the top linkage comprises at least four panel bows.
