Removable roofing system comprising a compensation device

Abstract

Removable roofing system comprising a motor inserted inside a drum (2), a cord, a compensation device (4), two rigging rails (5a, 5b), at least one guide arch (6a) and removable roofing, the at least one guide arch (6a) being connected to the cord and to the removable roofing, and being designed so that each of its ends slides in a rigging rail (5a, 5b), the cord passing along each rigging rail (5a, 5b) and through the compensation device (4) and being connected at its two ends to the drum (2) so that the rotating of the drum (2) by the motor causes the cord to move in a direction dependent on the direction of rotation of the drum (2), deploying or retracting the removable roofing by moving the at least one guide arch (6a), each rigging rail (5a, 5b) being equipped with at least one end pulley (21a, 21b) and with at least two corner-block deflecting pulleys (20a, 20b, 23a, 23b) which are designed to guide the cord from the compensation device towards the at least one end pulley (21a, 21b), and the compensation device (4) is designed to automatically compensate for variations in cord tension.
