Abstract
The application relates to a windscreen for a convertible with an approximately U-shaped roll bar pivotable about a transverse axis of the vehicle into an approximately horizontal position of rest. The windscreen has a first part pivotable upwards behind a front seat row and a second part horizontally covering the space behind the seat row approximately level with the belt line of the vehicle. The two windscreen parts are connected pivotably to one another with the first part resting on the second part in its position of rest. In order to ensure especially simple actuation the roll bar, movable by means of a convenient drive mechanism, is utilized to shift the first part of the windscreen into its directed operating position.

A windscreen arrangement for a convertible vehicle having a seat row, comprising an approximately U-shaped roll bar arranged behind the seat row and pivotable about a transverse axis of the vehicle into an approximately horizontal position of rest, a first part pivotable upwards behind the seat row and a second part horizontally covering a space behind the seat row approximately level with a belt line of the vehicle, the two parts being connected pivotably to one another and the first part resting on the second part in the horizontal position of rest, the first part being configured to be brought within proximity to the seat row by raising the roll bar and by pivoting the first part toward the seat row to remain in an engaged position via securing means after lowering the roll bar.
A windscreen arrangement for a convertible vehicle having a seat row, comprising an approximately U-shaped roll bar pivotable about a transverse axis of the vehicle into an approximately horizontal position of rest, comprising a first part pivotable upwards behind the seat row into a swung-out operating position and a second part horizontally covering a space behind the seat row approximately level with a belt line of the vehicle, the two parts being connected pivotably to one another and the first part resting on the second part in the horizontal position of rest, and a releasable catch device operatively associated with the vehicle and comprising means for retaining the first part in its swung-out operating position during return movement of the roll bar to the horizontal position of rest,
- whereby the first part is configured to be brought within proximity to the seat row and into operative connection with the releasable catch device by raising the roll bar and by pivoting the first part toward the seat row to remain in the swung-out operating position after lowering the roll bar.
A windscreen arrangement for a convertible vehicle having a seat row, comprising an approximately U-shaped roll bar pivotable about a transverse axis of the vehicle into an approximately horizontal position of rest, a first part pivotable upwards behind the seat row selectively by raising the roll bar and by pivoting the first part toward the seat row to remain in an engaged position via securing means after lowering the roll bar, a second part horizontally covering a space behind the seat row approximately level with a belt line of the vehicle, the two parts being connected pivotably to one another, and means for securing the second part to the roll bar so as to be selectively pivotable upwards together with the roll bar.
