Abstract

The folding roof is for a cabriolet vehicle. It comprises a steel sheet top (1) attached by a hinge (2) to a rear window section (3). The rear window is made of glass and the entire roof folds away flat to be concealed by the boot cover (4). USE/ADVANTAGE - Folding roof made of hard top materials which has a good aesthetic appearance and is easily stowed away.

Description

Das Stoffdach eines Cabrios ist angesichts des sonst verwendetem Stahlblechs oder hochwertigem Kunststoffs und aller sonstigen bekannten Nachteile von Anfang an ein Anachronismus.The fabric roof of a convertible is given the otherwise used Sheet steel or high quality plastic and all other known disadvantages from the beginning anachronism.

Es gibt deshalb auch entfernbare Stahl- oder Kunststoffdächer, die sich allerdings nur im geschlossenen Zustand mitführen lassen oder wegen ihrer Unförmigkeit nur auf Kosten des Kofferraums oder der ästhetischen Form des ganzen Autos realisiert wurden.There are therefore also removable steel or plastic roofs that can only be carried in the closed state or because of their deformity only at the expense of the trunk or the aesthetic shape of the whole car.

Die nachstehend beschriebene Konstruktion vermeidet all diese Nachteile, sie ermöglicht ein mitführbares festes Dach, das den Kofferraum und die äußere Form nur geringfügig beeinträchtigt. Voraussetzung ist lediglich, daß bei der sogenannten Stufenheck­ version, das Dach (der Dachhimmel), die Heckscheibe und der Koffer­ raumdeckel sehr flach und etwa gleich lang sind. Skizze 1.The construction described below avoids all of these Disadvantages, it enables a portable roof that can be carried Trunk and the outer shape only slightly affected. The only requirement is that in the so-called notchback version, the roof (the headlining), the rear window and the suitcase room covers are very flat and about the same length. Sketch 1.

Im einzelnen kann diese Konstruktion mit folgenden Hauptfunktionen und Teilen beschrieben werden:In particular, this construction can have the following main functions and parts are described:

  • 1. Der Kofferraumdeckel ist nicht wie in der Regel in der Nähe des Heckfensters angeschlagen, sondern seitlich am hinteren Kotflügel, und zwar je nach Rechts- oder Linksverkehr links oder rechts (also jeweils auf der Fahrerseite). Er öffnet also seitlich statt nach hinten. Skizze 2.1. The trunk lid is not usually near the Rear window hinged, but on the side of the rear fender, depending on the right or left traffic left or right (i.e. on the driver side). So it opens from the side instead of backwards. Sketch 2.
  • 2. Die Heckscheibe ist nicht mehr fest mit der Karosserie verbunden, sondern beweglich, d. h. sie hat einen Drehpunkt etwa dort wo gewöhn­ lich der Kofferraumdeckel angeschlagen war, wobei sie sich von der Schräglage bis in die Waagrechte nach hinten drehen läßt. Gleichzeitig ist sie mit einem inneren verdecktem Scharnier mit dem Dach (Dachhimmel) verbunden, nimmt dieses in die Waagrechte mit. Der Drehpunkt ist dabei so angeordnet, daß sich beide (also Heckscheibe und Dachhimmel) möglichst ohne Zwischenraum genau an die Unterseite des dann geschlossenen Kofferraumdeckels anlegen. Skizze 3.2. The rear window is no longer firmly attached to the body, but mobile, d. H. it has a fulcrum around where usual Lich the trunk lid was struck, whereby it from the inclination can be turned back to the horizontal. At the same time, it has an inner concealed hinge connected to the roof (headlining), takes it horizontally With. The fulcrum is arranged so that both (i.e. Rear window and headlining) with as little space as possible put on the underside of the then closed trunk lid. Sketch 3.
  • 3. Die beiden seitlichen Dachverstrebungen (meist sog. C-Säulen) ein­ schließlich der hinteren Seitenscheibe werden analog der vor­ deren Seitenscheiben in die Türrahmen, in die Kotflügel hinter die Radkästen versenkt. Je nach Platzverhältnissen können die hinteren Seitenscheiben auch separat von Dachseitenteilen in die Kotflügel vor den Radkästen versenkt werden. Diese Seitenteile können gleichzeitig als3. The two side roof struts (usually so-called C-pillars) finally the rear side window will be analogous to that in front their side windows in the door frames, in the fenders behind the wheel arches sunk. Depending on the space available, the rear side windows also separate from roof side panels in the Fenders can be sunk in front of the wheel arches. These side panels can at the same time as
  • 4. Überrollbügel verwendet werden, wenn sie sensorgesteuert, bei zu erwartendem Überschlag entsprechend schnell aus der Versenkung herausschnellen. (Zusätzliche Überrollbügel an den Rücklehnen der Sitze werden dadurch nicht ausgeschlossen.)4. Roll bars are used when sensor controlled, too expected rollover accordingly quickly from the sinking snap out. (Additional roll bars on the backrests the seats are not excluded.)

Wenn auf die Notsitze beim Fahren im offenen Zustand verzichtet wird, ist alternativ eine Konstruktion wie nachfolgend beschrieben möglich:If the emergency seats are dispensed with when driving in the open state is alternatively a construction as described below possible:

  • 1a Der Kofferraumdeckel bleibt wie ursprünglich angeschlagen, also bleibt nach vorn zu öffnen.1a The trunk lid remains as originally struck, so remains open to the front.
  • 2a Die Drehachse der Heckscheibe ist in seitlichen Schienen ge­ führt, die es möglich machen, daß das Verdeck während der Dreh­ ung gleichzeitig bis an die Rücklehnen der Vordersitze geführt wird. Das Dach liegt jetzt vor dem wieder kürzeren Kofferraum.2a The axis of rotation of the rear window is in lateral rails leads, which make it possible that the top during the shoot at the same time as far as the backrests of the front seats becomes. The roof is now in front of the shorter trunk.
  • 3a wie 3 unverändert.3a as 3 unchanged.
  • 4a wie 4 unverändert.4a as 4 unchanged.
