Abstract
A fastening arrangement for a movable part especially a folding top or a roof of a motor vehicle. The arrangement includes a rotary latch which serves for securing a fastening pin of the movable part and is rotatable by means of an actuating device for a blocking and release of the fastening pin which can be retained by means of a detent pawl. In the locked position of the fastening, the detent pawl rests in an undercut principal notch of the rotary latch. High frictional forces and disturbing noises therefore are avoided during the unlocking operation. The rotary latch is rotatable through a specific angle oppositely to the blocking direction of the detent pawl by means of a control device activatable by the actuating device.
Claims4
Fastening arrangement for a movable part such as a folding top or a roof of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a rotary latch which serves for securing a fastening pin of the movable part,
- an actuating device for rotating the rotary latch for a selective blocking and release of the fastening pin by the rotary latch,
- a detent pawl engageable with the rotary latch, said detent pawl being rotatable oppositely to the blocking direction of the detent pawl, and,
- a lever mechanism which can be activated by the actuating device and which positively guides the rotational movement, including a rotation opposite to the locking direction of the detent pawl, of the rotary latch during the operating of opening and locking the movable part.
