Problems solved by technology

However, with adjustment structures of the type described above, there is the difficulty of arranging the deployment springs in such a way that the springs are not only active during the entire phase of the adjustment movement of the wind deflector system, but are also accommodated in an aesthetically pleasing manner, i.e. they are hidden

Embodiment Construction

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1 , formed in a solid roof surface 10 of the vehicle roof is a roof opening 12 which may be selectively closed by a cover 14 or which may be at least partially released or opened. The cover 14 is held laterally in a frame 16 surrounding the roof opening. At the front edge of the roof opening 12 there is provided a wind deflector system in a retracted rest position and / or behind an outer shell formed by a front roof rail 28 . The deployed working position varies between and is adjustable in the upwardly deployed working position, which is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 . Such a wind deflector system can be adjusted by the lid 14 into a rest position when the lid is closed, which is not shown in detail here. For this purpose, during the closing operation, the cover 14 can be moved from the top to the cross brace 20 of the wind deflector system 18 and pressed down on said cross brace or a transversely arranged rod (not shown) is arranged on the cross brace 20, Wh...

Abstract

The invention relates to a wind repelling system (18) for a vehicle, comprising a cross strut which is movable between a retracted neutral position and a deployed operating position, at least one adjusting lever arrangement (22) that is disposed between the cross strut (20) and a basic structure (26) while being provided with a deployment lever (32) and preferably an auxiliary guiding element (48). The deployment lever (32) and the auxiliary guiding element (48) are each hingedly connected to the cross strut (20) via sliding / swivel joints (34, 52), each of which is loaded by a deployment spring (42, 54) in order to deploy the wind repelling system. The deployment lever (32) is hingedly connected to the basic structure (26) via a swivel joint (36) to which a lifting spring (56) is allocated. The lifting spring (56) raises the deployment lever (32) from a position in which the deployment lever (32) rests on the basic structure (26) to such an extent that the deployment springs (42, 54) can become effective.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wind deflector system according to the preamble of claim 1 , which is adjustable between a retracted rest position and an extended operative position. Background technique [0002] To divert airflow over the roof when driving a vehicle, to reduce wind noise when driving a vehicle with an open sunroof and to dampen the passenger perception of the often annoying "popping" vibration noise with the sunroof open, For example, such a wind deflector structure is provided at the front edge of a roof opening which can be locked by means of a sliding cover or a similar lockable roof opening. [0003] Other uses of windscreening systems involving similar designs are for impact barriers in convertible vehicles, where a windscreen (windscreen ). A wind deflector structure of this type is known from DE 102 39 197 A1, especially FIG. 3 . The structure includes cross braces, which are adjustable between a retracted rest position and an ex...
