A raising roof system (10) for a vehicle (60) comprising a frame affixable, in use, to the periphery of an aperture in the vehicle's (60) roof, a raising roof (32) moveable between a lowered position and a raised position having an upper surface and a periphery arranged to seat against the frame (12) when in the lowered position, and a raising/lowering mechanism interposed between the frame (80) and the raising roof (32), wherein the raising/lowering mechanism comprises at least one scissor-lift mechanism interposed between the frame (80) and the roof (32) and a linear actuator (50) acting substantially vertically between the frame and the roof (32). The main advantage of the invention is that the force exerted by the linear actuator (50) is applied directly to the roof (30), against the direction of gravity. Thus, a smaller and/or less powerful linear actuator (50) is required to safely and/or effectively raise and lower the roof (30). |
