Problems solved by technology

However, in doing so, there is inherent risk of unintentional detachment of the coupling member from the housing of the guide rail, which could lead to an unmonitored actuation of the deployment lever

Embodiment Construction

[0034] figure 1 In the figure, a roof module 10 is shown, which can be used as an openable vehicle roof in a passenger car and can be connected to the design structure of the passenger car via a peripheral edge.

[0035] The canopy module 10 comprises a frame-like opaque fixed canopy section 12 surrounding a canopy part 14 which can be covered by a first transparent fixed canopy element 16 and a cover element 18 opposite to each other. Where the fixed roof section 12 is immovable and forms a further fixed roof section, the cover element 18 is movable in the longitudinal direction of the roof and is a component of a sliding roof system designed as a spoiler roof. A roof opening 20 delimited at the rear by the fixed roof element 16 and at the front and sides by the fixed roof section 12 can be selectively closed or at least partially released by the cover element 18 . In order to release the roof opening 20, the cover element 18 is unfolded by its rear edge arranged next to the...

Abstract

An openable vehicle roof is proposed, comprising a cover element (18) which is provided on both sides in each case with respect to a vertical longitudinal centre plane of the roof with adjustment kinematics (22A, 22B) by means of which said cover element is adjustable between a closed position closing a roof opening (20) and an opening position at least partially opening up the roof opening (20).The adjustment kinematics (22A, 22B) each comprise a first kinematic element and a second kinematic element which is connected to a coupling rod (76) which is releasably coupleable via a coupling member (78) to the first kinematic element and is adjustable between a coupling position and a decoupling position in which the coupling member (78) is accommodated by a locking recess (84) of the guide rail (24). The coupling member (78) is held in its decoupling position in the locking recess (84) of the guide rail (24) by a spring-elastic securing element which is adjustable by means of an adjusting element of the adjustment kinematics (22A, 22B) between a securing position and a release position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an openable vehicle roof having the features of the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] Such vehicles are known in practice and present, for example, so-called spoiler roofs with a sliding roof arrangement, wherein a cover element movable in the longitudinal direction of the roof can be positioned relative to the fixed roof area via its rear edge. The segments deploy upwards to open the roof opening and are movable over the fixed roof section toward the rear of the vehicle. The cover element is coupled on both sides with respect to the vertical longitudinal center plane of the roof to a displacement kinematic mechanism, by means of which the cover element can be in a closed position for closing the roof opening and for at least partially opening the roof opening Shifting between open positions in which the cover element is positioned above the fixed roof section. The displacement kinematics respectively compri...
