Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a roof for a special protective vehicle according to claim 1. Furthermore, this invention also relates to a special protective vehicle having such a roof. Background Technology

[0002] DE10049581A1 discloses an armor frame for bridging the transition area between a first armor member and a second armor member of an armored vehicle, wherein at least one layer of armor has at least one first protrusion, the first protrusion extending parallel to the edge of the first armor member in the armor frame mounted state, and the second or first armor member is a top or side armor member made of aramid fiber material. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The objective of this invention is to provide a roof for a special-protection vehicle and a special-protection vehicle, which can significantly improve safety against external attacks and the comfort of the special-protection vehicle.

[0004] This task is accomplished according to the invention by a roof for a special-protection vehicle having the features of claim 1 and a special-protection vehicle having the features of claim 10. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims and the specification.

[0005] A first aspect of the invention relates to a roof for a special-protection motor vehicle. This roof may be particularly referred to as a top. The special-protection motor vehicle is, for example, a passenger car.

[0006] The aforementioned special-protection motor vehicle can be understood in particular as a special-protection vehicle, which can be especially referred to as a safety vehicle. The special-protection motor vehicle preferably has at least one integrated armored component to protect the occupants or cargo of the special-protection motor vehicle from external attacks.

[0007] The special protective vehicle has at least one first structural member, which has at least one first opening. In other words, the first structural member has at least one cutout, which may be specifically referred to as a first cutout. The opening may be understood as a through opening.

[0008] The structural member is preferably at least partially, particularly primarily, or entirely made of metal. The first structural member is, for example, constructed as a body component of the special protective vehicle—especially a self-supporting vehicle—body. The body can be specifically referred to as a motor vehicle body. In other words, the first structural member is, for example, part of the motor vehicle body.

[0009] The structural member is, for example, at least substantially constructed as a plate. For example, the structural member—particularly indirectly or directly—is connected to the roof's—particularly separately constructed—top frame. The top frame, for example, has at least two transverse elements and at least two longitudinal elements. For example, the first structural member extends at least partially, particularly primarily, or entirely between the transverse elements in the transverse direction of the special protective vehicle. For example, the first structural member extends at least partially, particularly primarily, or entirely between the longitudinal elements in the longitudinal direction of the special protective vehicle. The corresponding longitudinal elements can be understood in particular as corresponding longitudinal beams, which may be referred to, for example, as top rails. The corresponding transverse elements can be understood in particular as corresponding crossbeams, which may be referred to in particular as top crossbeams. Alternatively, it may be specified that the first structural member is constructed as part of the top frame, particularly as part of the top frame.

[0010] The first opening—particularly completely—is covered by a first glass element of the roof. In other words, the roof has a first glass element—particularly constructed separately from the first structural member—that completely closes the first opening. The glass element is, in particular, at least partially, primarily, or entirely made of glass. The glass element may have at least one glass layer. This means that the glass element may have one or more glass layers—particularly constructed separately from each other. Because the roof has at least the first glass element, the roof may be specifically referred to as a glass roof, such as a panoramic glass roof.

[0011] The roof has at least one second structural member—particularly in the installation state where the roof is mounted in the special protective vehicle—arranged below the first structural member in the vehicle height direction, and particularly separately constructed from the first structural member. In other words, particularly in the installation state where the roof is mounted in the special protective vehicle, the second structural member extends at least partially, particularly mainly, or completely below the first structural member in the vehicle height direction. This means that the second structural member is at least partially, mainly, or completely covered by the first structural member in the vehicle height direction.

[0012] The second structural member is preferably at least partially, particularly primarily, or entirely made of metal. For example, the second structural member is constructed as a vehicle body component. In other words, the second structural member is part of the body of the special-protection vehicle. Preferably, the second structural member defines the interior space of the special-protection vehicle at least upward—especially directly—in the vehicle height direction. The interior space (which may be particularly referred to as the vehicle interior space) can be understood in particular as passenger space or passenger compartment. The second structural member is, for example, at least substantially constructed as a plate.

[0013] The second structural member has at least one second opening—partially, particularly primarily, or completely below the first opening in the vehicle height direction, especially in its mounted state on the roof of the special protective vehicle. In other words, the second structural member has at least one second cutout that extends at least partially below the first cutout in the vehicle height direction. This means that the second opening is arranged at least partially, particularly primarily, or completely below the first opening in the vehicle height direction.

[0014] The second opening is covered—particularly completely—by at least one second glass element constructed separately from the first glass element. In other words, the second opening—particularly completely—is closed by the second glass element. At least by means of the second glass element, the special-protection vehicle—particularly in the top region—is protected or can be protected from explosions, gunfire, and / or similar threats. In other words, the second glass element is constructed or configured to protect personnel, components, and / or cargo of the special-protection vehicle located behind it—particularly below it in the vehicle's height direction. In particular, the second glass element is constructed to protect the interior space from explosions, gunfire, and / or similar threats.

[0015] Therefore, the integrated armor of the special protective vehicle is at least partially formed from the second glass element. The special protective vehicle may have other protective elements, particularly armor elements, constructed separately from the second glass element.

[0016] The second glass element can be particularly referred to as safety glass. The second glass element is preferably constructed as composite safety glass, which can also be referred to as safety composite glass. The second glass element is, for example, constructed as a composite glass having two or more glass sheets, particularly flat glass sheets, which are, for example, stacked on top of each other and bonded together, for example, by a tear-resistant and / or highly elastic film, particularly laminated together. In other words, the second glass element has, for example, multiple glass layers. Furthermore, the second glass element can be particularly understood as armored glass, which can particularly be referred to as bulletproof or shot-resistant glass and / or blast-resistant glass.

[0017] The term "explosion" can be understood, for example, as an explosion or blast caused by explosives. For instance, the explosion could be caused by or resulting from a hand grenade. The term "shooting" can be understood, in particular, as firing a firearm at the specially protected vehicle.

[0018] This invention is based in particular on the following understanding and consideration: Because the roof has the glass element, vehicle occupants within the accommodating space can observe the surrounding environment of the specially protected vehicle from the interior space through the roof—especially through the glass element—particularly the portion of the surrounding environment located above the specially protected vehicle in the vehicle's height direction. Furthermore, the glass element allows a particularly large amount of light to enter the vehicle's interior space. Thus, the comfort of the specially protected vehicle—especially for the vehicle occupants—is particularly enhanced. Because the roof has the second glass element, the roof, constructed as a glass top, provides protection against shooting and / or blasts. The second glass element, particularly referred to as protective glass, is designed such that protection against shooting and / or blasts exists in the top region of the specially protected vehicle, particularly in the area referred to as the glass top region. Thus, the safety of the specially protected vehicle—especially against external attacks—is particularly enhanced. The structure of the second glass element, particularly referred to as a glass structure—especially a layered structure—can be designed such that it can be integrated into the vehicle at different levels of protection against blasts—especially against grenades—and / or shooting. Overall, it can be seen that, with the help of the roof according to the invention, a glass roof, especially a panoramic glass roof, made of armored glass, for safety vehicles can be provided.

[0019] In a further design, the second glass element is specified to be thicker than the first glass element. In other words, the wall thickness of the second glass element is greater than that of the first glass element. This means that the first glass element has a first thickness or a first wall thickness, while the second glass element has a second thickness or a second wall thickness, wherein the second thickness or second wall thickness is greater than the first thickness or the first wall thickness. Therefore, the safety of the personnel-protected vehicle can be particularly improved. In particular, safety against explosions, fire, and / or similar threats can be particularly improved. Furthermore, protection against explosions, fire, and / or similar threats is achieved, at least primarily and especially entirely, by the second glass element. Thus, the exterior appearance of the roof—especially that of the special-protected vehicle—can be designed, for example, to be equivalent to that of unarmored vehicles, i.e., non-special-protected vehicles. Furthermore, the manufacturing cost of, for example, the special-protected vehicle can be kept particularly low.

[0020] In a further design, it is specified that the first glass element does not contain safety glass. This means that the first glass element is not safety glass, especially not composite safety glass. Therefore, a glass sheet, particularly referred to as a series glass, can be used as the first glass element, which can be used in unarmored vehicles. This means that the first glass element can be constructed as a series glass. Thus, the roof can be visually designed to be equivalent to the roof of an unarmored vehicle. Alternatively or additionally, at least the first glass element and other components, such as the roof, can be used across structural variations for both special-protection and unarmored vehicles. Thus, the manufacturing cost of the special-protection vehicle can be kept particularly low.

[0021] In a further design embodiment, it is specified that, particularly with regard to the first and second structural members, the special-protection vehicle—especially the vehicle's interior space—is protected from explosions, gunfire, and / or similar threats by means of the second structural member. In other words, the second structural member is constructed or configured to protect the personnel and / or components and / or cargo of the special-protection vehicle located behind it—especially below it in the vehicle's height direction. Therefore, the integrated armor of the special-protection vehicle is formed, for example, at least partially, by the second structural member. Thus, the safety of the special-protection vehicle against external attacks—especially against explosions, gunfire, and / or similar threats—can be particularly enhanced. The second structural member is, for example, at least partially, especially primarily, or entirely, made of armor steel.

[0022] For example, the first structural member is not equipped with armor and, in particular, is not made of armor steel. This means that the first structural member, for example, does not contain armored components, and especially does not contain armor steel. Therefore, the external appearance of the roof of the specially protected vehicle can be designed to be the same as the roof of an unarmored vehicle. Furthermore, the first structural member can be used across structural variations, i.e., in both the specially protected vehicle and unarmored vehicles, thereby keeping the manufacturing cost of the specially protected vehicle particularly low.

[0023] A further design specifies that the structural members—particularly in the vehicle height direction—are spaced apart from each other. In other words, the roof has at least one intermediate space—particularly referred to as a hollow space—that is defined or formed upwards in the vehicle height direction by the first structural member—particularly directly—and downwards in the vehicle height direction by the second structural member—particularly directly—. Thus, the structural members are, for example, not coupled to each other, particularly not directly, which can have a positive impact on the vibration performance of the structural members and / or their safety against shooting, explosions, and / or similar threats.

[0024] For example, the intermediate space is at least partially, particularly primarily, or completely filled by the second glass element. In other words, the second glass element extends at least partially within the intermediate space. This allows for a significant increase in the thickness of the second glass element, thereby particularly enhancing the security of the special-protection vehicle against external attacks. Alternatively or additionally, the intermediate space can be filled to varying degrees to accommodate different levels of protection required by the special-protection vehicle. Therefore, the degree to which the intermediate space is filled by the glass element can vary depending on different structural variations of the special-protection vehicle to reflect different levels of protection. Consequently, different structural variations or different levels of protection of the special-protection vehicle can be implemented with particularly low cost. In particular, the manufacturing cost for one or more special-protection vehicles can remain particularly low.

[0025] In a further design, the glass elements are specified to be—particularly directly—abut each other. In other words, the glass elements are in direct contact. This means that the intermediate space is completely filled by the second glass element, at least in the vehicle height direction. Consequently, the thickness of the second glass element can be significantly increased, thereby substantially enhancing the safety of the specially protected vehicle against external attacks.

[0026] Alternatively, the glass elements are spaced apart from each other in the vehicle height direction. This allows for—particularly direct—decoupling of the glass elements, which can positively impact the vibration performance of the roof and / or the protection provided by the roof. Alternatively or additionally, the second glass element can be designed to be particularly thin, thereby keeping the weight of the roof exceptionally low.

[0027] In a further design embodiment, the second glass element has at least one support area, by means of which the second glass element—particularly in its installation state on the roof of the special protective vehicle—is at least indirectly, or for example directly, supported on or able to be supported on, particularly held or able to be held on, the second structural member in the vehicle height direction. In other words, at least in the support area, the second glass element—particularly with respect to the vehicle height direction—is either directly or via another structural element resting against the second structural member. By supporting the second glass element on the second structural member, the second glass element can be particularly securely fixed in the roof, particularly particularly securely attached to the second structural member. Thus, the mechanical load-bearing capacity of the second glass element—particularly the attachment of the second glass element to the second structural member—can be particularly increased, thereby particularly enhancing the safety of the roof.

[0028] In a further design embodiment, the second glass element is specified to have at least one support region, for example referred to as another support region, through which the second glass element—particularly in its installation state on the roof of the special protective vehicle—is at least indirectly, for example directly, supported or able to be supported, particularly held, or held to the second structural member in the lateral direction of the vehicle. In other words, at least in the other support region, the second glass element is abutted against the second structural member either directly or via another structural member in the lateral direction of the vehicle. By supporting the second glass element on the second structural member, the second glass element can be particularly securely fixed in the roof, particularly particularly securely attached to the second structural member. Thus, the mechanical load-bearing capacity of the second glass element—particularly the attachment of the second glass element to the second structural member—can be particularly increased, thereby particularly enhancing the safety of the roof.

[0029] In a further design embodiment, the second opening is specified to be larger than the first opening. In other words, the second cut is larger than the first cut. This significantly improves the field of vision for vehicle occupants observing their surroundings from the interior space through the roof, particularly through the glass element. Furthermore, a greater amount of light can enter the interior space through the glass element, thereby significantly increasing the brightness within the interior space. Therefore, the comfort of the specially protected vehicle is significantly improved. Because the second opening is larger than the first opening, the effect of the first opening or the top of the first glass, i.e., the field of vision and / or light incidence for the occupants, is not obstructed by the second structural member. Specifically, the second opening extends further outward in the vehicle's lateral direction—particularly on both sides—than the first opening, and / or the second opening extends further forward or rearward in the vehicle's longitudinal direction—particularly on both sides—than the first opening. In other words, the width of the second opening extending in the vehicle's lateral direction is greater than the width of the first opening extending in the vehicle's lateral direction, and / or the length of the second opening extending in the vehicle's longitudinal direction is greater than the length of the first opening extending in the vehicle's longitudinal direction.

[0030] Alternatively or additionally, for example, it is specified that the second opening is smaller than the first opening. In other words, the second cut is, for example, smaller than the first cut. This can particularly enhance the mechanical load-bearing capacity of the second structural member, thereby significantly improving the safety of the roof against external attacks, especially against shooting, explosions, and / or similar threats. Specifically, the first opening extends further outward in the vehicle's lateral direction, for example, on both sides, than the second opening, and / or the first opening extends further forward or rearward in the vehicle's longitudinal direction, particularly on both sides, than the second opening. In other words, the width of the first opening extending in the vehicle's lateral direction is greater than the width of the second opening extending in the vehicle's lateral direction, and / or the length of the first opening extending in the vehicle's longitudinal direction is greater than the length of the second opening extending in the vehicle's longitudinal direction.

[0031] A second aspect of the invention relates to a special protective vehicle having a roof according to the first aspect of the invention. The advantages and advantageous designs of the first aspect of the invention should be considered as advantages and advantageous designs of the second aspect of the invention, and vice versa.

[0032] Other features of the invention are derived from the claims, the drawings, and the description of the drawings. The features and combinations of features mentioned above in the description, as well as the features and combinations of features mentioned below in the description of the drawings and / or shown only in the drawings, can be used not only in the corresponding combinations given, but also in other combinations or alone. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to a preferred embodiment and the accompanying drawings. The drawings show:

[0034] Figure 1 A schematic top view of a special protective vehicle according to the invention is shown, the special protective vehicle having a roof according to the invention; and

[0035] Figure 2 A schematic and perspective partial sectional view showing the top area of ​​a special protective vehicle; and

[0036] Figure 3 A schematic partial cross-sectional view of a special protective motor vehicle according to the invention, having a roof according to the invention; and

[0037] Figure 4 A schematic partial cross-sectional view of a special protective motor vehicle according to the invention, having a roof according to the invention, is shown according to another embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0038] In the accompanying drawings, elements that are identical or have the same function are given the same reference numerals.

[0039] Figure 1 A schematic partial view from above shows a special protective vehicle 1. The special protective vehicle 1 has a roof 2. Therefore, Figure 1 A schematic top view of the roof 2 is shown in particular.

[0040] The special protective vehicle 1 has—especially a self-supporting—body 3. In this embodiment, the body 3 has a first sidewall 4 and a second sidewall 5 spaced apart from the first sidewall 4 in the vehicle's transverse direction 6. The first sidewall 4 is arranged on a first side of the special protective vehicle 1, while the second sidewall 5 is arranged on a second side of the special protective vehicle 1 that is different from—especially opposite—the first side. Thus, for example, the first sidewall 4 is arranged on the left side of the special protective vehicle 1, while the second sidewall 5 is arranged, for example, on the right side of the special protective vehicle 1. That is, the first sidewall 4 is constructed, for example, as a left sidewall 4, while the second sidewall 5 is constructed, for example, as a right sidewall 5. The corresponding sidewalls 4 and 5 can be understood in particular as corresponding side frames.

[0041] The roof 2 has at least one first structural member 7. In this embodiment, the first structural member 7 extends in the lateral direction 6 of the vehicle between the sidewalls 4 and 5, particularly from the first sidewall 4 to the second sidewall 5. For example, the first structural member 7—particularly at least indirectly or directly—is connected to the sidewalls 4 and 5.

[0042] In this embodiment, in the longitudinal direction 8 of the special protective vehicle 1, the windshield 9—particularly at least indirectly or directly—is forward-facing adjacent to the first structural member 7. For example, the roof 2 has at least one top structural element 10 constructed separately from the first structural member 7, which, for example, in the longitudinal direction 8—particularly at least indirectly or directly—is rearward-facing adjacent to the first structural member 7. For example, the rear window 11 in the longitudinal direction 8—particularly at least indirectly or directly—is rearward-facing adjacent to the first structural member 7 and / or the top structural element 10.

[0043] Preferably, the first structural member 7 has at least one outer side 15 pointing outward in the vehicle height direction 14. In other words, the outer side—especially the outer surface—of the roof 2 is formed at least partially, especially mainly, or completely by the outer side 15 of the first structural member 7. Thus, the roof 2 is, for example, at least partially, especially mainly, or completely defined outward or upward in the vehicle height direction 14 by the first structural member 7. Therefore, the first structural member 7 is configured, for example, as the outermost structural element of the roof in the vehicle height direction 14.

[0044] To particularly enhance the comfort of the special protective vehicle 1, the first structural member 7 is provided with at least one first opening 12, which is directly covered or closed by a first glass element 13. Specifically, the glass element 13 is at least partially disposed within the first opening 12.

[0045] Figure 2 A schematic and perspective partial cross-sectional view shows the special protective vehicle 1 in the top area, especially the roof 2. Figure 3 The special protective vehicle 1, and especially the roof 2, is shown from the rear in a schematic partial cross-sectional view.

[0046] In order to particularly improve the safety of the special protective vehicle against external attacks and to particularly improve the comfort of the special protective vehicle 1, it is specified that the roof 2 has at least one armored second structural member 16 arranged in the vehicle height direction 14 below the first structural member 7—particularly constructed separately from the first structural member 7—the second structural member has at least one second opening 17 extending at least partially, particularly mainly or completely below the first opening 12 in the vehicle height direction 14. Figure 2 The second opening 17 is not shown in the diagram. Figure 3 The second opening 17 is shown. The second opening 17 is covered or closed by a second glass element 18—particularly arranged below the first glass element 13 in the vehicle height direction 14—which is separately constructed from the first glass element 13. By means of the second glass element, the interior space 19 of the special protective vehicle 1 is protected or can be protected from explosions, gunfire, and / or similar threats. In other words, the glass elements 13 and 18 are arranged—particularly directly—overlapping each other. Therefore, the second glass element 18 is at least partially, particularly mainly, or completely covered upwards by the first glass element 13 in the vehicle height direction 14. The second glass element 18 can be particularly understood as safety glass or armored glass.

[0047] Through the glass elements, vehicle occupants within the interior space 19 can observe the surrounding environment of the special-protection vehicle 1, and / or light can enter the interior space 19 through the glass elements 13 and 18, thereby significantly improving the comfort of the special-protection vehicle 1. Simultaneously, through the second glass element 18—especially armored—the safety of the special-protection vehicle 1 against external attacks is significantly enhanced.

[0048] In a further design embodiment, the second glass element 18 is specified to be thicker than the first glass element 13. The wall thickness of the second glass element 18, particularly referred to as its thickness, is, for example, at least 10 mm, and particularly at least 20, 50, 60, or 70 mm.

[0049] Preferably, the first glass element 13 does not contain safety glass. Therefore, the first glass element 13 is, for example, a series of particularly non-armored glass. Thus, a glass top made of armored glass can be achieved, which is covered with a series of glass.

[0050] In a further design embodiment, the special-protection vehicle 1 is specified to be protected, or capable of being protected, from explosions, gunfire, and / or similar threats by means of the second structural member 16. Therefore, the second structural member 16 is, for example, constructed of armor steel.

[0051] Preferably, the first structural member 7 is not made of armor steel, i.e., it does not contain armor steel. Therefore, a series of structural members for the roof 2, particularly referred to as series body members, can be used as the first structural member 7.

[0052] It can be seen that, through the series of glass and / or through the series of structural components, the number of general-purpose parts across structural variations can be particularly increased, thereby keeping the manufacturing cost, especially the manufacturing expense, of the special protective vehicle 1 particularly low.

[0053] In this embodiment, the structural members 7 and 16 are preferably spaced apart from each other, particularly at least partially, in the vehicle height direction 14. Therefore, at least one intermediate space 20 extends between the structural members 7 and 16, which is at least partially—particularly directly—bound upward in the vehicle height direction 14 by the first structural member 7 and at least partially—particularly directly—bound downward in the vehicle height direction 14 by the second structural member 16. The intermediate space 20 is, for example, at least partially, particularly mainly, or completely filled, by the second glass element 18, i.e., filled with the second glass element 18, at least in the vehicle height direction 14. Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the glass elements 13, 18—particularly directly—are abutted against each other. Alternatively, the glass elements 13, 18 may be spaced apart from each other in the vehicle height direction 14.

[0054] It can be specified that the second glass element 18 may be arranged at least partially above the second structural member 16 in the vehicle height direction 14. This means that the second glass element 18 extends at least partially above the second structural member 16 in the vehicle height direction 14.

[0055] Furthermore, it can be specified that the second glass element 18 extends at least partially downward in the vehicle height direction compared to the second opening 17, and in particular the second structural member 16. In other words, the second glass element 18 is arranged at least partially below the second opening 17, and in particular the second structural member 16, in the vehicle height direction 14. This allows for a significant increase in the thickness of the second glass element 18, particularly by extending, for example, from above the second opening 17 through the second opening 17 and down below it in the vehicle height direction 14. Consequently, the mechanical load-bearing capacity of the second glass element 18 can be significantly improved, thereby enhancing the safety of the specially protected vehicle against external attacks.

[0056] exist Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the second glass element 18 has at least one support region 21 through which the second glass element 18 is at least indirectly supported downwards on the second structural member 16 in the vehicle height direction 14. In this embodiment, the second glass element 18 is supported downwards on the second structural member 16 in the vehicle height direction 14 on both sides about the vehicle lateral direction 6. Therefore, a first support region 21a and a second support region 21b spaced apart from the first support region 21a in the vehicle lateral direction 6 are provided, wherein the second glass element 18 is at least indirectly supported downwards on the second structural member 16 in the vehicle height direction 14 through the respective support regions 21a, 21b.

[0057] In a further design embodiment, the second glass element 18 has at least one support region 22, through which the second glass element 18 is at least indirectly supported outwardly on the second structural member 16 in the vehicle lateral direction 6. In this embodiment, the second glass element 18 is supported on the second structural member 16 on both sides in the vehicle lateral direction 6. Therefore, a third support region 22a and a fourth support region 22b spaced apart from the third support region 22a in the vehicle lateral direction 6 are provided, wherein the second glass element 18 is at least indirectly supported outwardly on the second structural member 16 in the vehicle lateral direction 6 through the corresponding support regions 22a, 22b.

[0058] For example, at least one retaining device 24 is provided, by which the second glass element 18—particularly by means of the supporting regions 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b—is supported downward in the vehicle height direction 14 and / or outward in the vehicle lateral direction 6—particularly directly—on the second structural member 16. Figure 3In the illustrated embodiment, a first holding device 24a is provided, through which the second glass element 18 is supported downward in the vehicle height direction 14 and outward—particularly directly—in the vehicle lateral direction 6 by means of the support areas 21a, 21b. Furthermore, a second holding device 24b, spaced apart from the first holding device 24a in the vehicle lateral direction 6, is provided, through which the second glass element 18 is supported downward in the vehicle height direction 14 and outward—particularly directly—in the vehicle lateral direction 6 by means of the support areas 22a, 22b. Preferably, the second glass element 18 is held on the second structural member 16 by corresponding holding devices 24a, 24b. In this embodiment, the corresponding holding devices 24a, 24b are configured in an angular shape to support the second glass element 18 by the corresponding support areas 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b.

[0059] exist Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the second glass element 18 has a constant wall thickness. This significantly improves the mechanical load-bearing capacity of the second glass element 18.

[0060] Figure 4 A schematic partial cross-sectional view of a special protective vehicle 1, particularly the roof 2, in the top region according to another embodiment is shown from the rear. In this other embodiment, the second glass element 18 is supported downward in the vehicle height direction 14 by corresponding support regions 21a, 21b on the second structural member 16, particularly on the corresponding flange region 25 of the second structural member.

[0061] exist Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the second opening 17 is specified to be larger than the first opening 12. Alternatively, the second opening 17 may be specified to be smaller than the first opening 12, which is... Figure 3 As exemplarily shown in the figure.

[0062] For example, the length of the first structural member 7 extending in the longitudinal direction 8 of the vehicle is at least 50%, particularly at least 70%, 80%, or 90%, of the length of the roof 2 extending in the longitudinal direction 8 of the vehicle. For example, the width of the first structural member 7 extending in the transverse direction 6 of the vehicle is at least 80%, particularly at least 90%, or 95%, of the width of the roof 2 extending in the transverse direction 6 of the vehicle. In particular, the first structural member 7 and, in particular, the second structural member 16 extend over the entire width of the roof 2. For example, the length of the first and / or second openings 12, 17 extending in the longitudinal direction 8 of the vehicle is at least 40%, particularly at least 50%, 60%, or 70%, of the length of the roof 2 extending in the longitudinal direction 8 of the vehicle. For example, the width of the first and / or second openings 12, 17 extending in the transverse direction 6 of the vehicle is at least 50%, particularly at least 60%, 70%, or 80%, of the width of the roof 2 extending in the transverse direction 6 of the vehicle. Therefore, the corresponding openings 12, 17 and especially the corresponding glass elements 13, 18 can be designed in a particularly large way so that the roof 2 can be constructed as a panoramic roof, especially a panoramic glass roof.

[0063] like Figure 2 As exemplarily shown, it may be specified that, particularly within the intermediate space 20, at least one additional structural element 23 is arranged in the vehicle height direction 14 between the first structural member 7 and the second structural member 16, particularly the second glass element 18, said additional structural element being, for example, a structural member of the roof 2.

[0064] The roof 2 is configured, for example, as a sliding roof and / or a retractable roof. For instance, the roof 2 has at least one covering element constructed separately from the glass elements 13, 18 and, in particular, separately from the structural members 7, 16. The covering element is preferably movably supported between a closed position and at least one open position—particularly relative to the glass elements 13, 18 and / or relative to the structural members 7, 16. In the closed position, the first opening 12 and / or the second opening 17—particularly the first and / or the second glass elements 13, 18—are preferably completely covered by the covering element. In the open position, the first and / or the second opening 12, 17—particularly the first and / or the second glass elements 13, 18—are at least partially, particularly primarily, or completely released by the covering element. Alternatively or additionally, at least one of the glass elements 13, 18 can—particularly specifically—switch or change between a transparent state and an opaque state. In the transparent state, vehicle occupants within the interior space 19 can observe the surrounding environment of the special protective vehicle 1 through the corresponding glass elements 13 and 18. Therefore, in the transparent state, at least one of the glass elements 13 and 18 is transparent. In the opaque state, at least one of the glass elements 13 and 18 is opaque, i.e., not transparent. Therefore, in the opaque state, vehicle occupants within the interior space cannot observe the surrounding environment through the glass elements 13 and 18.

[0065] Alternatively, the roof 2 may not be constructed as a sliding roof and / or a pop-up roof. This means that the roof 2 may not contain the sliding roof and / or pop-up roof. Therefore, the roof 2 can be described as a simple glass roof.
