Vehicle sliding roof

摘要

In the case of a vehicle sliding roof composed of a panel 13 which closes in its frontmost position an opening 1 in the vehicle roof 2, the rear edge of which can be adjusted in height and which outside the roof opening 1 can be displaced into various positions on one side of the vehicle roof 2, the panel 13 being supported in the vicinity of its front edge 14 on at least one front support 16, which can be moved forwards and backwards in the longitudinal direction A of the vehicle along a guide rail, and on at least one rear support 36 arranged behind the front support and having a rear height-adjusting element, and being slidingly guided in relation to the height-adjusting element in the vehicle longitudinal direction A, and of at least one actuating element 4 for displacing the panel 13 and adjusting the height thereof, precise guiding and a predeterminable variability of the panel-inclination angle, in particular during the opening and closing movement, is ensured by simple means in that the guide rail can be pivoted by means of the height-adjusting element about a horizontal transverse axis 15, the guide rail preferably being a driving spindle forming the actuating element 4, in particular with an external worm thread. In principle, the panel can be displaced, however, also by a Bowden cable or the like. However, it is preferred for the pivotable guide rail to assume a dual function, namely the supporting and guiding function, on the one hand, and the driving function ...
