Problems solved by technology

However, this results in a distance between the guide block and the movable panel such that in the closed position of the panel the guide block (and the corresponding end part of the stationary guide rail, i.e. the retainer) protrudes considerably downwards towards the cab of the vehicle, Thus on the one hand a lower position of the underlining of the roof of the vehicle is required and on the other hand there is a real risk of injury in the event of an accident

Embodiment Construction

[0024] refer to figure 1 , showing that the vehicle includes an openable sunroof structure. The openable sunroof structure mainly comprises a stationary top 1 in which a top opening 2 is defined. The movable panel 3 for opening and closing said top opening 2 is provided with two guide blocks 4 arranged close to the front edge 5 of the movable panel. Said guide blocks 4 cooperate with two stationary guide rails 6 arranged along opposite longitudinal edges 7 of the top opening.

[0025] The majority of the movable panel 3 can be made of glass or a corresponding material.

[0026] The manner in which the panel 3 is moved between its open and closed positions and the mechanisms which can be employed thereby are well known in the art and therefore need not be described in any detail here. It is only to be noted that the cooperation between the guide blocks 4 and the stationary rails 6 can be achieved by means of mechanisms whose operation results in the desired movement of the p...

Abstract

An open roof construction for a vehicle is provided, comprising a stationary roof (1), a roof opening (2) provided therein, a movable panel (3) for opening and closing said roof opening and two stationary guides (6) positioned along opposite longitudinal edges (7) of the roof opening for guiding two guide shoes (4) provided close to the forward edge (5) of the movable panel. The guides each comprise at least a vertically extending guide part (18) for a guiding cooperation with a corresponding vertically extending guide shoe part. The guide shoes are attached to the movable panel in a substantially vertically and horizontally adjustable manner by means of substantially transversally extending adjustment screws (9). In a position of the movable panel fully closing the roof opening the adjustment screws are covered by the stationary guides as seen in a transverse direction. The vertically extending guide parts of the stationary guides are provided with openings for, in said position, allowing access to the adjustment screws by means of an appropriate tool.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an openable sunroof structure for a vehicle, comprising: a stationary roof, a roof opening provided in the stationary roof, a movable panel for opening and closing said roof opening and a two stationary guide rails disposed on opposite longitudinal edges of the movable panel, said stationary guide rails being used to guide two guide blocks disposed near the front edge of said movable panel, said guide rails each comprising at least one guide member extending in a vertical direction, for guiding cooperation with corresponding vertically extending portions of guide blocks, wherein said guide blocks are attached in a substantially vertically and horizontally adjustable manner by means of substantially transversely extending adjustment screws to the removable panel. Background technique [0002] Before discussing the prior art, note that the terms "vertical", "horizontal" and "transverse" in a conventional manner denote ve...
