Roof assembly for a vehicle

摘要

A roof assembly for a vehicle roof opening comprises a pair of guide rails extending in a non-parallel way and at a distance from each other. At least one closure element is adjustable in order to at least cover and at least partly open the opening. At least one pair of sliding elements opposite of each other on each of opposite sides of the closure element is provided for slidably engaging in the respective guide rail. The sliding elements are slidably connected to the closure element in a substantially lateral direction. A biasing device is used for biasing the sliding elements relative to the closure element in a substantially lateral direction by being attached to the closure element on one end and being operatively connected to each pair of opposite sliding elements on the other end with interposition of a synchronizing device equalizing the movements of the sliding elements.

1. A roof assembly for a vehicle having a roof opening in its roof, comprising:
a pair of guide rails extending at least in part in a non-parallel generally longitudinal way and at a distance from each other; at least one closure element , being adjustable in order to at least cover and at least partly open the opening in said vehicle roof, said closure element having two opposite sides adjacent to the guide rails; at least one pair of sliding elements opposite of each other disposed on each of said sides of the closure element so as to engage in the respective guide rail , said sliding elements being slidably connected to the closure element in a substantially lateral direction generally orthogonal to the longitudinal direction; and a biasing device comprising a spring coupled to the sliding elements and configured so as to bias the sliding elements relative to the closure element each in a substantially lateral direction, wherein the biasing device is attached to the closure element on one end and is operatively connected to said at least one pair of opposite sliding elements on the other end with interposition of a synchronizing device comprising pull elements operatively biased by the spring, the pull elements connected to and configured to equalize the movements of the sliding elements.
