Vehicular flexible roof-covering sheet with motorised drive - has alternative control for sheet movement between intermediate and folded positions while vehicle is in motion

摘要

The flexible hood is guided by an arrangement of rails so that in the folded condition with the opening uncovered, the fabric is furled around three transverse stays near a lower end region of the rear window. The movement between the different positions is performed by a motor (8) driving a toothed wheel via a redn. gear. The vertical movement is controlled (11c) automatically when the vehicle is stationary. ADVANTAGE - Behaviour of drive differs between moving and stationary vehicles, preventing overload of mechanism if vehicle is started during its operation.
