Embodiment Construction

[0042] In the following, the invention will be illustrated by non-limiting examples. Details of two or more embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0043] figure 1 A part of a vehicle 2 with a sunroof arrangement 4 is shown schematically. figure 2 Shown removed from vehicle to see figure 1 The sunroof device with hidden details in 4. In this example, the sunroof device 4 is openable.

[0044] The vehicle 2 has a longitudinal direction x, a transverse direction y and a height direction z. The sunroof arrangement 4 comprises a sunroof 5 having a first panel 6 and a second panel 8, the panels 6, 8 may be at least partially transparent. The first panel 6 is slidable under or above the second panel 8 in a rearward direction along the longitudinal direction x of the vehicle 2 to provide an opening (not shown) in the roof of the vehicle 2 . During the sliding movement, the first panel 6 is guided by a first portion of the side rail 12, which will be described further be...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a side track (12) for a vehicular sun roof (5) comprising a first portion (14) having a longitudinal extension for supporting the sun roof (5), and a second portion (16) extending side by side, and connected to, at least a part of the first portion (14), wherein at least a part of the second portion (16) is arranged to pivot in relation to the first portion (14) in order to absorb impact energy from a colliding object. The invention further relates to a sun roof arrangement and a vehicle comprising the side track.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a side rail for a vehicle sunroof. The present disclosure also relates to a sunroof arrangement comprising the side rail and to a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] Vehicles, such as cars, may be provided with a sun roof. The term sunroof as used herein includes sunroofs, panoramic sunroofs or moon roofs. Typically at each lateral side of the sunroof there are side rails supporting the sunroof. The sunroof is openable, for example, by having at least one movable panel that slides over or under the roof of the vehicle to open the sunroof. The panels are then movable in side rails forming guides for the sliding movement of the movable panels so that the movable panels can slide longitudinally relative to the vehicle. Optionally, the sunroof may not be openable. The side rails are mechanically stabilized in order to be able to support the skylight. [0003] Under adverse conditions, for example, in the cas...
