Wind protection device on an openable roof portion of a motor vehicle

摘要

Wind protection device on an openable roof portion of a motor vehicle having a curved wind deflection member on which a flexible wind protection structure is retained and which has at least one lateral wind deflection arm which can be displaced by means of a guiding mechanism in the vertical direction and in the longitudinal direction of the openable roof portion in such a manner that the curved wind deflection member can be displaced between a lower rest position and an upwardly deployed operating position in which the wind protection structure is set up. The guiding mechanism includes a resilient unit in order to support the movement of the curved wind deflection member into the operating position thereof. The guiding mechanism also has a linear force guide having a curved guiding path, along which the curved wind deflection member is displaced in the longitudinal and vertical direction relative to the roof portion.

1. A wind protection device on a roof portion of a motor vehicle having a curved wind deflection member on which a flexible wind protection structure is retained and which has at least one lateral wind deflection arm which can be displaced by a guiding mechanism in a vertical direction and in a longitudinal direction of the roof portion in such a manner that the curved wind deflection member can be displaced between a lower rest position and an upwardly deployed operating position in which the wind protection structure is set up, wherein the guiding mechanism comprises a resilient unit in order to support movement of the curved wind deflection member into the operating position thereof, wherein the guiding mechanism for the wind deflection arm has a linear force guide having a curved guiding path along which the curved wind deflection member can be displaced in the longitudinal and vertical direction relative to the roof portion, and wherein the linear force guide is formed by an arcuately curved slotted guide and at least one guiding member, the at least one guiding member can be arcuately slid within and relative to, but not rotated relative to, the slotted guide, wherein the at least one guiding member is rigidly connected to the wind deflection arm and in a corresponding manner the slotted guide is arranged in a stationary manner with respect to the roof portion, wherein the slotted guide has a substantially horizontal orientation.
