<p>An opening roof for a vehicle having an opening (2) in the fixed roof (1), comprises a frame (6) to be mounted around the opening, a flexible cover (3) for selectively closing or exposing the opening, a control beam (4) attached to the front side of the cover (3) and being guided with its lateral ends in guide rails (5) extending along each side of the opening (2) in longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and latch means for holding the control beam (4) in a forward position when the opening roof is closed. Said latch means includes at least a latch member (13) which is operative between the control beam (4) and the frame (6). Drive means (7-9) are coupled to the control beam (4) in order to slide it for opening and closing the opening roof, whereas a transmission mechanism (10-12) between the latch member (13) and the drive means (7-9) ensures to tighten the control beam (4) into the forward position with a greater driving force during its last closing movement. <IMAGE></p> |
