Retractable roof for a vehicle comprising a transmitting movement device

Abstract

A retractable roof for a vehicle comprising at least one front roof element (4) and one rear roof element (3), these at least two elements being mobile between a covering position in which they cover the passenger compartment of the vehicle and a storage position in which they are folded away in the rear boot of the vehicle, the roof also comprising two pivoting arms (1, 2) mounted such as to pivot around axles of rotation (9, 10) on the rear roof element (3) between a longitudinal position in which they extend between the front end of the rear element (3) and the rear of the windscreen on either side and all along the front roof element (4), and a transverse position in which they overlap each other transversally in relation to the plane of symmetry of the vehicle. It comprises a device (11) for transmitting the movement from the rear roof element (3) to the pivoting arms (1, 2), the said transmission device (11) being arranged such as to enable, in a reversible manner, the movement of the pivoting arms (1, 2) between their longitudinal and transverse positions during the movement of the rear roof element between their covering and storage positions.
