Abstract:
A motor vehicle (5) is disclosed having a roof structure comprised of a front roof member (6) and a rear member (4) which together form a cover for a passenger compartment (1) of the motor vehicle (5) when both of the roof members (4, 6) are in respective raised positions. When both of the roof members (4, 6) are lowered into stowed positions to form a convertible vehicle, a flap (7, 107) is deployed on each side of the motor vehicle (5) to bridge a gap between the stowed front roof member (6) and an upper edge of an outer rear panel (9).
Abstract:
A retractable hardtop assembly is provided for a vehicle. A retractable hardtop assembly includes a front section that is connected by a linkage to a vehicle and a rearward portion that is connected by a separate linkage to a decklid of the vehicle. A package shelf/tonneau is secured by a linkage to the back section of the linkage. The package shelf/tonneau is moved from a package/ shelf position below the rearward portion of the roof to a tonneau position above the retractable roof when the retractable roof is disposed in the storage compartment. The package shelf/tonneau is moved between the front portion of the roof and rearward portion of the roof during the extension and retraction cycles. The package shelf/tonneau may be rotated 360° as it is moved between the package shelf and tonneau positions.
Abstract:
The roof (2) includes an opaque front part (3) and a transparent rear part (4) and is pivotally supported by two rear lateral supports (6) about a transverse axis (A). The boot lid (8) has a central recess (8b) in which the roof (2) is housed when it is pivoted backwards into the open position.
Abstract:
A convertible vehicle (10) is disclosed, which has a rigid roof panel (28) configured to pivot 180° over itself into an open position in which it overlies a trunk lid (46). The trunk lid (46) supports a rear-hinged cover panel (52) that is configured to close down over the open roof panel (28) to hide it from view. The pivot axis (80) of the trunk lid (46) is disassociated from the pivot axis (38) of the roof panel (28), such that the trunk lid (46) can be pivoted about its axis whilst ensuring that the leading edge (58) of the cover panel (52) will not hit the rear backlight (20) of the passenger compartment (14) when the trunk space (16) is accessed.
Abstract:
Ein Cabriolet-Fahrzeug (1) mit einem zu seiner Öffnung insgesamt beweglichen Dach (2), das einen gegenüber einem umgebenden Dachbereich (5) in einer ansonsten geschlossenen Dachstellung beweglichen Schiebedachteil (4) umfasst, wird so ausgebildet, dass der Schiebedachteil (4) zur Einstellung der vollständigen Offenstellung des Daches (2) automatisch aus einer während der Dachbewegung kollisionsverhindernden geöffneten Stellung in eine Zwischenstellung rücküberführbar ist.
Abstract:
An actuation mechanism (10) is disclosed for a stowable front roof panel (11) comprising a first support assembly (12a, 12b; 15, 16a, 16b, 17 and 18) to provide vertical movement of the roof panel 11 and a second sliding support structure (13a, 13b, 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b, 30, 31a, 31b, 33a, 33b and 34a, 34b) to provide horizontal movement of the front roof panel (11). The first support assembly includes first and second upwardly extending supports (12a, 12b) and a transverse tubular cross member (15) that in combination form an inverted U-shaped roll over protection member (110). The roll over protection member (110) is used to provide roll over protection to the occupants of the motor vehicle (1) in the event of a vehicle roll over.
Abstract:
Ein Cabriolet-Fahrzeug (1) mit einem zumindest bereichsweise mit einem flexiblen Bezug (6) versehenen Dach (3), das einen vorderen Dachbereich (9) umfaßt der in gleicher Orientierung wie imgeschlossenen Zustand in einer Karosserieausnehmung (14) ablegbar ist, die rückwärtig von einer Kante (15) der Karosserie (4) begrenzt ist, wird so ausgebildet, daß die Außenfläche (10) des vorderen Dachbereichs (9) gegenüber weiter hinten liegenden und mit Bezug (6) versehenen Bereichen (8) getrennt ist und die rückwärtige Kante (13) des vorderen Dachbereichs (9) an den Verlauf der die Karosserieausnehmung (14) rückwärtig begrenzenden Kante (15) der Karosserie (4) angepaßt ist.
Abstract:
Le véhicule (2) comporte une paroi de fond (26) ayant en coupe longitudinale une forme générale de C, située en avant d'un volume (V3) balayé par la partie de toit arrière (4). La paroi (26) s'étend depuis la région inférieure avant (13) du coffre (16), d'abord vers l'arrière, puis vers le haut, puis au moins partiellement vers l'avant jusqu'à prendre appui sur la poutre de raidissement supérieure (50). La paroi de fond (26) s'étend entre deux parois latérales (27) auxquelles elle est fixée pour former un réceptacle (51) délimitant un premier volume central utile (V1a) accessible depuis l'intérieur de l'habitacle (25).
