<p>A crank device for driving a movable part of a vehicle, such as a closing element of an open roof construction, comprises a driving pinion, which is operatively connected with the movable part, and which is rotatably supported by a stationary part. A crank arm comprising a hub is connected with the driving pinion when the closing element is being driven. Locking means comprising a stop element rotate along with the driving pinion in a fixed relation. A locking element automatically engages the stop element of the locking means in at least one predetermined position of said movable part so as to lock the driving engagement of said movable part in said predetermined position. A control element for the locking element functions to return the locking element from the locked position to the unlocked driving position. The control element and the locking element are movable at at least substantially right angles with respect to each other, and they comprise a right-angled transmission for transmitting the movement through said at least substantially right angle. The locking means comprise a limiting element, which mates with a stop on the stationary part for the purpose of limiting the rotation of the locking means. <IMAGE></p> |
