Roof assembly for road vehicle and road vehicle comprising such a roof assembly

A roof assembly for a road vehicle, the road vehicle comprising a cabin, the roof assembly comprising:

• a roof panel, configured to cover the cabin;
• a roof hatch, mounted on the roof panel and openable for allowing a person to go through the roof panel via the opened roof hatch;
• a front deflector, configured to be slidably moveable between a forward position, in which the front deflector covers the roof hatch, and a backward position, in which the front deflector does not cover the roof hatch, the front deflector comprising at least one magnetic part;
• and
• at least one locking assembly, the at least one locking assembly being configured to move the front deflector between its forward and backward positions and to lock the front deflector in the forward and backward positions, the at least one locking assembly comprising:
• a housing;
• a magnetic connector, located inside the housing, wherein the magnetic connector is moveable relative to the housing along a forward direction, between a backward position and a forward position, the forward position being in the forward direction relative to the backward position, wherein the magnetic connector is configured to be magnetically coupled with one of the at least one magnetic part of the front deflector so that the front deflector is in its forward position when the magnetic connector is in its forward position and so that the front deflector is in its backward position when the magnetic connector is in its backward position;
• a first spring, exerting a force on the magnetic connector relative to the housing along a backward direction opposed to the forward direction, the force tending to move the magnetic connector in the backward direction towards its backward position;
• and
• an actuator, located at least partially inside the housing, configured to exert a force on the magnetic connector relative to the housing along the forward direction for moving the magnetic connector in the forward direction against the force exerted by the first spring, and configured to be actuated so as to drive the magnetic connector between its forward and backward positions.
