Sliding roof device for automobiles

摘要

A sliding roof device for a vehicle having a roof with an opening being disposed therein and including a sliding roof operatively positioned to close the opening in the roof of the vehicle, the sliding roof having an upper face and a lower face. A roof frame is provided with frame side guide rails which are mounted on the roof frame. Slide stays are secured to the lower face of the sliding roof. Moving members are attached to the slide stays and are operatively positioned to be movable back and forth along the frame side guide rails wherein upwardly tilting a rear portion of the sliding roof and displacing the sliding roof to a roof back position with the moving members being guided along the frame side guide rails varies the angle of inclination of the sliding roof relative to said frame side guide rails. In addition, an elastic member is operatively positioned between the sliding roof and the roof frame and is compressed by the sliding roof when the roof is fully opened to push and bias the sliding roof upwardly.
