An actuation arrangement for hinged components of vehicle tops, particularly convertible top hoops or covers for convertible tops, whereby the hinged components are pivotably mounted on the vehicle on at least one main bearing and whereby the actuation arrangement has at least one direct or indirect rotary drive engaging thereon with an indirectly or directly driven rotary shaft. The rotary shaft (W) of the rotary drive (D) is structurally integrated into the main bearing (H) of the hinged component (S, K) of the vehicle top system whereby the main bearing (H) is provided with a receiving or bearing structure (2) for the rotary shaft (W) of the rotary drive (D) to create a simple construction, which produces a constant moment while requiring a small mounting space and having a low weight and which is possibly suited for any swing angle in principle.
An actuation arrangement for hinged components of vehicle tops, particularly convertible top hoops or covers for convertible tops whereby said hinged components are pivotably mounted on the vehicle on at least one main bearing and which actuation arrangement has at least one direct or indirect rotary drive engaging thereon with an indirectly or directly driven rotary shaft, characterized in that the rotary shaft (W) of the rotary drive (D) is structurally integrated into the main bearing (H) of the hinged component (S, K) of the vehicle top system whereby said main bearing (H) is provided with a receiving or bearing structure (2) for the rotary shaft (W) of the rotary drive (D).
An actuation arrangement according to 13, wherein said cover (9) is formed by the main bearing (H) or components of the main bearing.
