Abstract
A vehicle roof which can be adjusted between a closed position and an opening position has an adjusting device and at least one side window which during the transfer between the closed and opening position can be pivoted via a rotational joint by an actuating element. The actuating element is coupled on one side to the side window at a distance from the side-window rotational axis and is connected on its opposite side to an element of the adjusting device.
Claims10
A vehicle roof adjustable between a closed position and an opening position, comprising an adjusting device configured to act on the vehicle roof and at least one side window pivotally connected to the vehicle roof via a rotational joint pivotable about a rotational axis of the rotational joint by an actuating element during transfer between the closed and opening positions, wherein the actuating element is operatively coupled on one side to the side window at a distance from the rotational axis and is operatively connected on an opposite side thereof to a component of the adjusting device, and the rotational joint of the side window is mounted pivotably on a main link of the adjusting device, which main link is part of a four-bar linkage consisting of the main link, upper and rear parts comprising the vehicle roof and a main bearing.
A vehicle roof adjustable between a closed position and an opening position, comprising an adjusting device configured to act on the vehicle roof and at least one side window pivotally connected to the vehicle roof via a rotational joint pivotable about a rotational axis of the rotational joint by an actuating element during transfer between the closed and opening positions, wherein the actuating element is operatively coupled on one side to the side window at a distance from the rotational axis and is operatively connected on an opposite side thereof to a component of the adjusting device, wherein the actuating element is movable only in a translational manner with regard to the side window.
A vehicle roof adjustable between a closed position and an opening position, comprising an adjusting device configured to act on the vehicle roof and at least one side window pivotally connected to the vehicle roof via a rotational joint pivotable about a rotational axis of the rotational joint by an actuating element during transfer between the closed and opening positions, wherein the actuating element is operatively coupled on one side to the side window at a distance from the rotational axis and is operatively connected on an opposite side thereof to a component of the adjusting device, wherein the rotational joint forms, together with a connecting-link cylinder, an integral component having a circumferential surface with a connecting-link path in which the actuating element engages in a positive-locking, sliding manner.
