Embodiment Construction

[0098] Currently, Not designed to be equipped with a retractable top. In fact, several features of Jeeps, especially those made in recent years, make it more difficult to adapt a top to a Jeep. Since Jeep has switched from a roll bar design to a roll bar design for rear passenger protection, the retractable top must pass over the roll bar at approximately a right angle. Also, because the top must be on the outside of the roll frame, the roll frame makes the mounting area available for the retractable top extremely narrow. The location of the roll cage and the configuration of the Jeep also make it extremely difficult to attach to the floor of the vehicle in recent models. In addition, it is difficult to form an airtight seal on the sides of a jeep. These challenges also arise in other open-top vehicles, such as the Hummer H1 and other open-top vehicles. Examples of retractable tops described here include innovations that allow retractable tops to fit narrow profiles, inno...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a retractable top for a vehicle having an open top, the vehicle having four doors, the retractable top comprising left and right rear roll bars, the left and right a rear roll bar protruding vertically from the rear floor above the vertical wall, said roll bar protruding forward to couple with a transverse roll bar to form a roll frame, said retractable top comprising three Two attached supports in the horizontal sides. The retractable canopy includes a linkage arm attached to the support, the linkage arm being configured to move from a retracted position to an extended position, the linkage arm comprising a first tapered interconnecting the arcuate arm of the eyelet, the first tapered interconnect eyelet being shaped to receive and recess the first connector such that the end of the first connector is aligned with the first end of the arcuate arm The surface is flush. The retractable canopy includes cover material that covers the open top when the canopy is extended.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is a continuation-in-part of US Patent Application 13 / 021,611 filed February 4, 2011, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] A retractable top for an open vehicle relates to a vehicle for a modern vehicle with a passenger compartment and an open rear compartment or the folding top of other vehicles. Background technique [0004] Existing in the prior art for the retractable top; however, the current design is somewhat limited and does not fit current Jeeps and other vehicles. There is no such design that accommodates left and right roll bars that connect forward from the side panels to a center roof roll bar called a roll bar. The new roll bar configuration of more modern Jeeps provides less room for a retractable top than previous Jeeps. Jeep does not currently make retractable tops, nor is it designed to accommodate retractable tops. Contents of th...
