Further Advantages, features and details of the invention will become apparent the following description, with reference to the drawing various embodiments described in detail are. Show it:
1 a perspective view of a passenger car obliquely from behind with a Faltdachanordnung in the closed position;
2 a similar representation as in 1 without top cloth, to make visible a top frame arranged underneath;
3 a similar representation as in 2 when folding or folding the roof frame;
4 a similar representation as in the 2 and 3 with the top frame in a storage position or a storage position similar position and
5 a perspective view of the top cloth of the folding roof assembly 1 ,
In the 1 to 4 is part of a passenger car 1 with a body 2 , which is also referred to as a supporting structure, and a rear area 3 presented in different views and states. In the 1 and 2 you see an A-pillar 4 Part of a windshield frame 5 is that of an upper cowl 6 having. At the passenger car 1 It is, for example, a convertible or a sports coupe with an open body or a roadster.
From the stern area 3 of the passenger car 1 extends a Faltdachanordnung 10 to the cowl 6 of the windshield frame 5 , The folding roof arrangement 10 includes a top cloth 12 standing on a roof frame 14 is stretched. The top cloth 12 can be one-piece, or, as shown, multipart with a main cover 15 and an additional reference 16 be executed. The additional cover 16 includes a rear window 18 and can, for example, by a seam, fixed to the main cover 15 be connected.
The roof frame 14 includes a roof frame 20 with a front roof frame part 22 , and two lateral roof frame parts 24 . 25 , The front roof frame part 22 is, for example, with the help of conventional closures, on the upper cowl 6 fixable. The lateral roof frame parts 24 . 25 define an opening for a side window (not shown). By curved lines 26 . 27 . 28 . 29 Edges are indicated by clamping elements 31 . 32 . 33 . 34 be produced under the top cloth 12 are spanned.
In 2 is the top frame 14 shown in the clamped state without top cloth. This clamped state is also used as the closed position of the folding roof arrangement 10 designated. In 2 you can see that the lateral roof frame part 24 , as well as the lateral roof frame part 25 , two lateral roof frame sections 41 . 42 includes, which curved to different degrees in extension of the A-pillar 4 extend. At a junction 43 is the front end of the roof frame section 41 fixed to the front roof frame part 22 connected, how to get in 3 sees.
At another junction 44 are the two roof frame sections 41 . 42 hinged together. The articulated connection at the junction 44 is designed so that the two roof frame sections 41 . 42 can be pivoted about a pivot axis, which is indicated by a cross and extends substantially in the vehicle transverse direction.
At another junction 45 is the roof frame section 42 to a side support structure of the passenger car 1 hinged. The connection point 45 is designed so that the roof frame section 42 is pivotable about a pivot axis, which is indicated by a cross and extends substantially in the vehicle transverse direction.
The front ends of the clamping elements 31 to 34 are at junctions 51 . 52 . 53 . 54 to the front roof frame part 22 hinged. The connection points 51 to 54 are spaced apart in the vehicle transverse direction and allow pivoting of the hinged ends of the clamping elements 31 to 34 about swivel axes 55 . 56 . 57 . 58 which is essentially in a Z direction of the passenger car 1 extend. If the vehicle longitudinal direction is referred to as the X direction and the vehicle transverse direction as the Y direction, then the Z direction is perpendicular to the X axis and the Y axis. The pivot axes 55 to 58 are preferably arranged slightly inclined to the Z-axis.
The rear ends of the clamping elements 31 . 32 are at a common connection point 63 rear left to the support structure 2 in the rear area 3 hinged. Analog are the clamping elements 33 and 34 at a common connection point 62 rear right to the support structure 2 in the rear area 3 hinged. The connection points 61 . 62 are designed so that a pivoting of the hinged ends of the clamping elements about pivot axes 63 . 64 is possible. The pivot axes 63 . 64 are slightly inclined to the Z axis of the passenger car 1 arranged.
Between the lateral roof frame parts 24 . 25 extends a corner hoop 70 that the tensioning elements 31 to 34 in the closed position of the folding roof arrangement 10 from below, that is from the vehicle interior forth, applied. The corner hoop 70 is at junctions 71 . 72 to the lateral roof frame parts 24 . 25 hinged. The associated pivot axes are indicated by crosses and preferably extend in the vehicle transverse direction. The corner hoop 70 includes a crossbar 74 which can be made rigid or elastically deformable.
From the ends of the crossbar 74 each two attachment arms extend 75 . 76 to the associated lateral roof frame part 24 , The free end of the attachment arm 75 is at the junction 71 to the roof frame section 42 of the lateral roof frame part 24 hinged. The free end of the attachment arm 76 is, for example articulated and / or detachable, in the region of the connection point 44 or at the junction 44 on the lateral roof frame part 24 appropriate. The attachment arm 76 is executed according to a further aspect of the invention as a flexible belt, which in the closed position of the Faltdachanordnung 10 only claimed on train. In the storage position of Faltdachanordnung 10 the fastening tape can be easily folded or laid.
In the 3 and 4 you see, like the roof frame 14 from the in 2 shown closed position in a in 4 folded storage position shown folded or folded. When folding or folding the roof frame 20 around the swivel axes at the connection points 44 folded. The folded roof frame 20 is doing around the pivot axes at the lateral connection points 45 pivoted. When folding, the clamping elements 31 to 34 more curved. In the storage position, the strongly curved clamping elements overlap 31 to 34 partially and are arranged substantially in one plane.
The clamping elements 31 to 34 are executed according to an essential aspect of the invention in each case as an elastic bending bar and meet in the closed position of the Faltdachanordnung 10 the function of a bow. The fast-folding roof arrangement 10 can be designed as a removable roof, which is folded when removed and stowed in the vehicle. The folding roof arrangement 10 but can also be designed as held on the vehicle, collapsible roof, which is stored in a corresponding receiving space.
For this purpose, the clamping elements 31 to 34 detachable or unsolvable on the support structure 2 of the passenger car 1 to be appropriate. When folding, storing or folding the Faltdachanordnung 10 take over the clamping elements 31 to 34 the handlebar function of provided in conventional folding roof arrangements additional linkage.
According to a further essential aspect of the invention, the clamping elements synchronize 31 to 34 also the storage movement of the roof frame 20 , in particular the lateral roof frame parts 24 . 25 , The top cloth 12 Can be removed from the roof frame 14 be held. Preferably, however, are the clamping elements 31 to 34 on the top cloth 12 held and optionally removable with this. Alternatively, but also the clamping elements 31 to 34 on the roof frame 14 be kept and the top cloth 12 be removed separately.
In 5 is the top cloth 12 with the main reference 15 and the additional cover 16 shown in perspective alone. The additional cover 16 can be detachable or permanent with the main cover 15 be connected. The additional cover 16 is preferably in a particular way so with the main reference 15 connected, that a high density is achieved.
