Abstract
A folding top compartment lid, in particular a folding top compartment lid with an integrated engine bay lid, is pivoted into an open position and into a closed position by a so-called four-bar hinge arrangement. An actuating device is articulatedly connected to a rear and a front setting-out lever of the four-bar hinge mechanism, which actuating device is coupled to a locking device which contains locking hooks. The actuating device with the setting-out levers can be activated by a hydraulic cylinder so as to pivot into the open and closed positions in such a way that the folding top compartment lid can be moved from the locked closed position into an unlocked open position and back from the open position into the closed position.
Claims11
A folding top compartment lid for a rear-end folding top compartment for holding a stowed folding top of a cabriolet vehicle, the folding top compartment lid comprising:
- a body-side bearing blocking having a bearing point;
- a holding support with locking pins;
- four-bar hinge mechanisms, one of said four-bar hinge mechanisms disposed on each side of the folding top compartment lid for adjusting the folding top compartment lid into an unlocked open position and into a locked closed position, said four-bar hinge mechanisms disposed between said body-side bearing block and said holding support for the folding top compartment lid, said four-bar hinge mechanisms each having a rear setting out lever and a front setting out lever;
- a coupling rod;
- a locking device having two locking hooks pivotably disposed one behind the other on said body-side bearing block and connected to one another by means of said coupling rod so as to be movable synchronously or in a superposable fashion, and said locking hooks, in the locked closed position, disposed corresponding to said locking pins on said holding support, said locking hooks including a rear locking hook having a guide pin;
- a hydraulic actuating cylinder;
- and
- an actuating device articulatedly connected to said rear and front setting-out levers of said four-bar hinge mechanism, said actuating device coupled to said locking device, said actuating device with said rear and front setting-out levers being activated by said hydraulic actuating cylinder so as to pivot into the unlocked open and locked closed positions in such a way that the folding top compartment lid can be moved from the locked closed position into the unlocked open position and back from the unlocked open position into the locked closed position, said actuating device further having an angle lever and an actuating lever connected to said angle lever, said angle lever mounted on said bearing block at said bearing point, said angle lever of said actuating device having a curved slotted-guide track for said guide pin on said rear locking hook.
A folding top compartment lid for a rear-end folding top compartment for holding a stowed folding top of a cabriolet vehicle, the folding top compartment lid comprising:

- a locking device having locking hooks, said locking hooks include a rear locking hook having a guide pin;
- a hydraulic actuating cylinder;
- and
- an actuating device articulatedly connected to said rear and front setting-out levers of said four-bar hinge mechanism, said actuating device coupled to said locking device, said actuating device with said rear and front setting-out levers being activated by said hydraulic actuating cylinder so as to pivot into the unlocked open and locked closed positions in such a way that the folding top compartment lid can be moved from the locked closed position into the unlocked open position and back from the unlocked open position into the locked closed position, said actuating device further having an angle lever with a curved slotted-guide track for said guide pin on said rear locking hook.
