Abstract
A wind deflector (5) for a motor vehicle with roof or a convertible top which can be transferred to a stowage space. The wind deflector (5) is pivotally supported on a cross beam (4) which extends over the front windshield (3), and it can be pivoted by a drive (13) which also actuates a detachable interlock of the convertible top (2) on the cross beam (4), depending on the position of the raising mechanism (18) which is actuated by the drive means (13) for the wind deflector (5), a locking device (11) is coupled to the drive (13) or is uncoupled from it.
Claims23
Arrangement for a motor vehicle with a convertible top which can be transferred to a stowage space, comprising:
- a cross beam which extends over the front windshield;
- a wind deflector pivotally supported on said cross beam;
- a raising mechanism for raising and lowering the wind defector;
- a disengageable lock mechanism for securing at least a portion of the convertible top on the cross beam;
- a drive device connected for actuating the wind deflector raising mechanism and the disengageable lock mechanism;
- wherein the lock mechanism is coupled and uncoupled from the drive device depending on the position of the raising mechanism which is actuated by the drive device.
Motor vehicle wind deflector arrangement comprising a wind deflector which is pivotally supported on and is raisable by a drive device;
- wherein the drive device has a raising mechanism with a movable carriage that is movably supported on a bearing profile rail and has a raising lever which couples the carriage to the wind deflector and sets the position of the wind deflector depending on the position of the carriage;
- and wherein the drive device also actuates a detachable locking mechanism for a convertible top which is located on a windshield cross beam.
Motor vehicle wind deflector arrangement, comprising a wind deflector which is pivotally supported on and is raisable by a drive device;
- wherein the drive device has a raising mechanism with a movable carriage that is movably supported on a bearing profile rail and has a raising lever which couples the carriage to the wind deflector and sets the position of the wind deflector depending on the position of the carriage;
- wherein one of the raising lever on the carriage and a bearing rod which is connected to the carriage is supported between two compression springs which are supported on one of the carriage and the bearing rod;
- and wherein, in the closed position of the wind deflector, driving force acts spring-elastically via one of the compression springs on a support of the raising lever.
