Embodiment Construction

[0034] First refer to figure 1 , a roof window structure comprising a roof opening 1 (closed here) which is arranged in a fixed roof part 2 . A movable roof 3 is used to selectively open and close said roof opening 1 . The manner of movement of the movable top cover 3 is well known and therefore will not be explained below.

[0035] The wind deflector 4 is placed on the front edge of the roof opening 1, and in the embodiment shown, the wind deflector 4 can be in the extended position ( Figure 4 and Figure 7 ) and retracted position ( figure 1 ) to move between. In the retracted position of the wind deflector 4 the movable roof 3 can be moved into a position closing said roof opening 1 .

[0036] A known operating device, such as a spring device 5, may be provided to move the wind deflector 4 from the retracted position towards the extended position. For example, in an embodiment of the invention, the wind deflector 4 can be depressed by the movable top cover 3 to its r...

Abstract

An open roof construction for a vehicle comprises a roof opening which is provided in a stationary roof part of the vehicle, a movable panel for selectively opening and closing said roof opening, and a wind deflector positioned at the frontal edge of the roof opening, which wind deflector is provided with an upper frame member and a flexible member attached with one edge to said upper frame member. The upper frame member is substantially rigid and the flexible member is attached to said upper frame member through a tensioning means for keeping the flexible member taut over its entire width.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates firstly to a roof window structure comprising: a roof opening provided in a fixed roof portion; a movable roof for selectively opening and closing said a roof opening; and a windshield positioned at the front edge of the roof opening, the windshield being provided with an upper frame element and a flexible element connected to one edge of the upper frame element. Background technique [0002] A wind deflector provided in such a roof window structure is a device that generally projects upwardly along the leading edge of the roof opening. When the vehicle is moving forward, the wind deflector deflects air that would otherwise create disturbing noises when the movable roof is in the open position of said roof opening. [0003] More recent types of roof window constructions include a wind deflector that is at least partially fabricated from some flexible material, thus reducing the overall weight of the wind deflector. In ad...
