Embodiment Construction

[0023] A first embodiment of a sunroof device 10 according to the present invention will now be explained with reference to the drawings.

[0024] FIG. 1 shows a top view of a sunroof arrangement 10 attached to a roof 11 of a vehicle 1 . FIG. 2 shows an exploded perspective view of the front of the sunroof device 10 .

[0025] Each direction indicated by an arrow in the drawings indicates front, left and right with respect to the vehicle 1 . Since the sunroof device 10 basically has a symmetrical structure in the left-right direction of the vehicle 1, the same number is used in each of the left and right sides of the sunroof device 10, and different numbers are used only when it is necessary to explain the left and right sides. The difference in construction between the right and the use.

[0026] An opening portion 13 indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1 is provided on the roof 11 of the vehicle 1 . A pair of guide rails 14 are arranged at the opening portion 13, pa...

Abstract

A sunroof apparatus with an opening portion includes a movable panel(18), a supporting mechanism(21) supporting the movable panel, an actuating device(50) generating an actuating force for actuating the movable panel, a transmitting mechanism (25,26)transmitting the actuating force, the transmitting mechanism having a rack belt(31,32) made of resin and engaging with an actuating gear(56) of the actuating device and a guiding member(27a,27b,28a,28b) guiding the rack belt so as to be slidable, wherein the rack belt includes a plurality of longitudinally disposed and alternately spaced rack teeth(35) and grooves(35a), each of the grooves being provided with a protruding portion(78) bridging two adjacent rack teeth at a mid portion of each groove, and a core wire(37) embedded within the protruding portion of the rack belt so as to extend in a longitudinal direction of the rack belt.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sunroof arrangement. In particular, the present invention relates to the construction of a rack belt of a device for transmitting driving force. Background technique [0002] A known sunroof device that drives a movable panel to open / close an opening portion provided on a roof of a vehicle includes a driving device and a transmission mechanism for transmitting a driving force generated by the driving device to a supporting mechanism of the movable panel. . [0003] More specifically, the sunroof device disclosed in JP2001-130261A includes a gear transmission cable as a transmission mechanism. A gear drive cable consists of a cable section and a gear section, both of which are made of metal. The gear portion is continuously provided on the outer peripheral surface of the gear transmission cable so as to extend helically in the longitudinal direction thereof. The gear drive cables are guided by and inside metal guides with ...
