Device for converting open motor vehicles into closed ones

Description

[0001] Device for converting open motor vehicles into closed ones. Devices for converting open motor vehicles are already known. in closed and vice versa, in which vertical elements serving to guide the glass panes are located in recesses in the doors and side walls. The metal framework is attached and hinged to the upper end of these metal guide rails, which, in the folded-up position, support the glass panes. lead above the sinkholes.

[0002] The invention relates to a device of this type and consists in the fact that the doors colliding at the stop side Guide rails have laterally projecting strips that lie against the corresponding sides of the adjacent guide rails, while the two guide rails belonging to the door, which meet at other points of the car body, are oriented in the same direction. has back rails between which the back of the adjoining guide rail belonging to the side wall of the carriage box engages.

[0003] Another feature of the invention is that spring-loaded bolts are articulated to the guide rails on short lever arms. are guided in the formwork and serve to secure the guide rails in the folded-up bearing.

[0004] The drawing illustrates an embodiment of the invention in application to a vehicle with a movable convertible top. equipped car body.

[0005] Fig. i is a side view of the car body with the roof closed, Fig. z with the roof open.

[0006] Fig. 3 is a front view of one of the carriage doors with the rails folded up to guide the glass pane.

[0007] Fig. ,l is, a vertical cross-section through the door according to Fig. 3.

[0008] Fig. 5 is a horizontal cross-section along line AA, Fig. 6 along line BB and Fig. ; along line CC in Fig. 3.

[0009] The vehicle box illustrated by Figs. i and z, designed in the usual way, is equipped with equipped with a movable convertible top b, which can be raised as shown in Fig. i or folded back as shown in Fig. 2.

[0010] The doors 1, 2 located on both sides of the car body and the intermediate body wall 3 are fitted with ordinary glass panes. c equipped with, which can be raised and lowered by any means. The rear wall section of the car body can be by a The glass pane can be extended towards the center of the vehicle and swivelle, then serving as a protective screen; or it can be in a similar way to the doors. and wall sections 1, 3, 2 shall be fitted with a retractable window.

[0011] Each door 1, 2 and each box wall section 3 is provided with a liftable and lowerable glass pane. Each of these window panes c is located in a recess formed by the inner and outer door or wall paneling, which is bordered on the narrow sides by two The vertical formwork bars f, f' are bounded, their cross-sectional shape being shown in Fig. 7. Each of these formwork bars is located on the side facing the sinking. The side is provided with a groove g (Fig. 4, y) in which the frame of the window pane c slides. At the upper end of each formwork member f, f' there are two flaps h, between which the upper window guide rails i,!' are hingedly mounted.

[0012] The cross-sectional shape of these guide rails i, i' can be seen from Figs. 5, 6, which also show the grooves j in which the Window pane c slides.

[0013] According to the invention, the guide rails i, i' which meet at the stop faces of the doors have laterally projecting Strips. k, which lie against the corresponding sides of the adjacent guide rails. From those at other points on the car body In contrast, the guide rails belonging to the door have two parallel back rails (Fig. 5), between which the The back of the adjoining guide rail i" belonging to the side wall of the car body engages.

[0014] Another feature of the invention is that spring-loaded bolts m are attached to the guide rails i, i', i" on short lever arms 11. are hinged, which are guided in holes n1 of projections n of the form irons f, f' and are used to secure the guide rails in the folded-up position Serve in a suitable location.

[0015] Two horizontal cover strips t are provided on the upper part of each door or wall paneling, which are connected by joints f' can oscillate and are secured against overshoot by stops t".

[0016] The upper end of the guide rails i, i', i" engages in suitable recesses of the frame of the convertible top b, thereby creating a rigid The connection between the individual parts is ensured. The grooves f guide the glass pane and allow it to be raised and lowered. by means of any devices. In the case of raised glass panes, the cover strips t form the necessary seal between the casings and the discs.

[0017] The device for opening the door consists of a swing arm o, which is mounted in a support p attached to the door frame. This swing arm o is a rod g articulated, the lower end of which is articulated to one of the ends of a two-armed lever r. At The other end of this two-armed lever r is connected to another rod g', which is attached at its upper end to a lever s, which acts on the door lock s'.

Claims

[0018] PATENT CLAIMS: i. Device for converting open motor vehicles into closed ones and vice versa, in which in sinks Vertical iron profiles, serving to guide the glass panes, are arranged along the doors and side walls and attached to the upper end of these The metal plates are hinged to guide the glass panes above the recesses when folded up, characterized in this way. that the guide rails abutting at the door stop side (i, !) have laterally projecting strips (k) which lie against the corresponding sides of the adjacent guide rails, while at the other points of the car body the intersecting guide rails, which have two parallel back rails belonging to the door, between which the back of the the abutting guide rail (,i") belonging to the side wall of the car body engages. e.g., the device according to claim i, characterized in that... spring-loaded bolts (in) are pivoted on the guide rails on short lever arms (l') and are guided in projections (n) of the formwork irons ( / ,F) and to secure the guide rails in the folded-up position.
