Motor vehicle roof

摘要

A ratchet wheel and abutment pin arrangement is provided for limiting movement of a movable roof panel member as it travels between a closed position and respective raised tilted and lowered slidably retracted positions. The ratchet wheel is provided with a guide slot at one axial end face for receiving the abutment pin during sliding movement of the roof panel member and with a further guide slot for the pin member at the opposite axial end face of the ratchet wheel for guiding the abutment pin member during tilting movement of the roof member. These guide slots are interconnected with one another at an overlapping passage to accommodate axial displacement of the pin member from one slot section to the other slot section, said overlapping passage also exhibiting abutment end surfaces corresponding to the closed position of the roof member.
