| 发明名称 | Mechanism for latching a vehicle convertible top | ||
| 摘要 | A mechanism for latching a convertible top to a vehicle header includes a screw, and a screw receiver sized such that the screw is threadable to the screw receiver. The mechanism also includes a drive motor operable to rotate either the screw or the screw receiver to thread the screw into the receiver. The other one of the screw and the screw receiver is nonrotatable. The screw and the screw receiver are each configured to be operatively connectable to a different one of the convertible top and the vehicle header such that the convertible top is latched to the vehicle header when the screw is threaded to the receiver. The latching occurs via the threads as the screw moves with the convertible top to the closed position. | ||
