Abstract

Vehicle roof arrangement can have displaceable sliding member, activation element having a mechanical coupling element, locationally fixed construction element in relation to the guide rail and has a coupling element pocket, and an elastic element mounted to be locationally fixed in relation to the guide rail. In a first state the elastic element protrudes into the pocket. In a second state the elastic element is guided out of the pocket. In a first movement section of the sliding member the elastic element by the sliding member is transferable from the first state to the second state. In an adjacent second movement section an introduction of the coupling element into the pocket is controllable, and the activation element is blocked in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. In an adjacent third movement section the elastic element is again transferable to the first state, and the coupling element is blocked.

Dependent claims

An arrangement comprising a cover for a vehicle roof, said arrangement having

a sliding member which is displaceable in a guide rail in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle by means of a drive;
an activation element having a mechanical coupling element;
a construction element that is locationally fixed in relation to the guide rail, a pocket which in the shaping thereof is adapted to the mechanical coupling element being formed in said construction element;
and
an elastic element that is mounted so as to be locationally fixed in relation to the guide rail;
wherein
in a first state the elastic element by way of a locking region protrudes into the pocket;
in a second state the locking region is guided out of the pocket;
such that, starting from a closed position of the cover, when the sliding member is being displaced in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle,
in a first movement section of the sliding member the elastic element by means of the sliding member is transferable from the first state to the second state;
in an adjacent second movement section of the sliding member an introduction of the mechanical coupling element into the pocket is controllable such that a displacement of the activation element is blocked at least in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle;
and
in an adjacent third movement section of the sliding member the elastic element is transferable from the second state to the first state, and a movement of the coupling element out of the pocket is blocked.
