Abstract: An assembly for a vehicle roof cover, wherein the cover can be moved from a closed position for closing a roof opening into an open position for at least partially releasing the roof opening. The assembly may have: a cover carrier for carrying the cover, a positionally fixed guide rail, and a carriage mounted so as to be displaceable in the guide rail along an opening direction. The cover carrier has a positionally fixed slotted guide to which the carriage may be coupled in the closed position, such that a deployment of the cover along a vertical direction (Z direction) is blocked in the closed position. The cover carrier has a locking apparatus configured so that a movement of the cover carrier along the vertical direction (Z direction) is limited in the closed position.

Abstract: A method for actuating an electric motor with a motor control signal with an application-specific frequency, which signal is provided by an electronic motor control unit, wherein the electric motor is used in a vehicle roof for activating a component of this roof while being connected to a region of the roof. Embodiments provide that the electric motor can be actuated by the motor control unit with an additional signal whose frequency and amplitude are suitable for causing the region of the vehicle roof to which said electric motor is connected to oscillate in order to generate sound.

Abstract: A vehicle comprising: an occupant cabin; a retractable roof configured to move between a deployed configuration where the roof covers the occupant cabin and a retracted configuration; a housing configured to house the retractable roof when the roof is in the retracted configuration; a moveable cover configured to close the housing and move between a closed configuration where the moveable cover closes the housing and an open configuration to permit the retractable roof to move between the deployed configuration and the retracted configuration; a first electric motor coupled to the retractable roof to be capable of imparting motion to the retractable roof so that, when the first electric motor is activated, the first electric motor causes the retractable roof to move between the deployed configuration and the retracted configuration; a second electric motor coupled to the moveable cover to be capable of imparting motion to the movable cover so that, when the second electric motor is activated, the second electric motor causes the moveable cover to move between the closed configuration and the open configuration; and a control unit configured to control the activation of the first and second electric motors so that, during the movement of the retractable roof between the deployed configuration and the retracted configuration, the moveable cover moves partially simultaneously, with the retractable roof, between the closed configuration and open configuration.

Abstract: A convertible vehicle top, having a top cover and a top linkage displaceable between a closed position, and a storage position, the top linkage having a link assembly on either side of a vertical longitudinal center plane of the top, each link assembly having two main links pivotably mounted on a main bearing attachable to a vehicle body and which form a multi-bar linkage together with a roof middle link, and the top linkage having transverse bows via which the two link assemblies are connected. The link assemblies may each have a fabric deflection lever which is pivoted into a straightened position by the top cover when the top is in the closed position and which is pivoted into a bent position in such a manner that the top cover is deflected around the free end of the deflection lever when the top is in the storage position.

Abstract: A top for a convertible vehicle, the top having a top linkage displaceable between a cover and storage position, and which may have a front bow forming a front edge of the top when the top is in the cover position and accommodating a front lock by which the front bow can be fastened to a front header of the vehicle when the top is in the cover position, and the top having a headliner, the front bow having an upper bow shell to which a drive of the front lock is attached and whose upper side is covered by a top cover. The front bow may have a lower bow shell extending at least largely across the width of the front bow in the transverse direction of the top and whose underside is fully covered by the headliner and defines the shape of the headliner with its entire surface.

Abstract: A sensor arrangement of a motor vehicle, the sensor arrangement having a sensor element emitting electromagnetic radiation in a measuring direction to determine a measurement signal, and a cover element disposed in front of the sensor element in the measuring direction and being an injection-molded plastic part permeable to the electro-magnetic radiation and having an outer side facing a vehicle environment and an inner side facing the sensor element, and a heating means comprising conductor tracks. The conductor tracks can be applied to a film formed to the inner side of the cover element during production of the cover element by injection-molding, the film with the conductor tracks thus forming an insert of the injection-molded cover element, the conductor tracks being located on the side of the film facing away from the sensor element.
