Problems solved by technology

However, due to structural constraints (the so-called "assembly height" is limited), the height of the bend cannot be as high as required
This means that the pin and the bend may not engage properly during closing of the panel, and as a result, the panel cannot be locked in its closed position
It should be clear that this will result in a potentially dangerous situation

Embodiment Construction

[0016] First refer to figure 1 , the open roof structure portion of a vehicle is shown schematically in cross-sectional view and in an open position. Indicated by dashed lines is the structural roof part 1 which is connected (in a manner not shown in detail) to a fixed roof part (not shown here). In a manner known per se, but not shown, an open roof is provided in the fixed roof part of the vehicle and can be opened and closed by means of a panel 2 (only schematically indicated by dotted lines). The panel 2 can be slid and tilted to open and close the open roof by means of an operating mechanism, not shown here but known per se to those skilled in the art.

[0017] Panel 2 is provided with guide pin 3 (this guide pin can be directly or indirectly connected with panel, for example, as figure 1 shown, connected via bracket 4). The structural roof part 1 is provided with a bend 5 for guiding the guide pin 3 . The function of the assembly of the guide pin 3 and the bend 5 is t...

Abstract

An open roof construction for a vehicle comprises a stationary roof part, a roof opening provided therein and a panel which is slideable for opening and closing said roof opening. The panel and stationary roof part are provided with a pin and curve assembly for guiding and locking the panel in its closing position. The curve is provided with an extension part projecting from the curve for engaging the arriving pin and leading it into the curve, said extension part being movable between an extended position when the panel is in its opening position and a collapsed position when the panel is in its closing position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an open roof structure for a vehicle comprising a fixed roof part, a roof opening provided therein and a panel slidable for opening and closing said roof opening, wherein the panel is provided with the fixed roof part There is a pin and bend assembly to guide and lock the panel in its closed position. Background technique [0002] Recently, the panels used for open roof structures involving the above type have increased considerably in size. This results in a corresponding increase in wind and vibration loads on the panel and, therefore, on the pin and bend assembly. In order for the pin to fit securely with the bend, ie to ensure that the pin reliably engages the bend when the panel is moved towards its closed position under any circumstances, the bend should have a sufficient height. However, due to structural constraints (the so-called "assembly height" is limited), the height of the bend cannot be as high as desired. Thi...
