In the case of a folding roof for vehicles, in particular passenger cars, it is proposed that the roof be assigned an intermediate position between its closed position and its storage position, in which the roof occupies a folded stowage position, from which the roof can be transferred to the storage position as a package or into the closed position can be unfolded.
The invention relates to a folding roof for vehicles, in particular special passenger cars according to the preamble of the claim 1.
Folding tops of the aforementioned type are, for example, from the DE 34 05 920 C2 known. The convertible top is the convertible top between a locking point covering a vehicle compartment tion and a storage position adjustable. In the filing station the convertible top is folded and takes a stowed position in which it is to be accommodated in a recording room. The The recording room is then adjacent to the drive to be covered witness interior, and associated with the recording room are lateral Support brackets that are supported against the vehicle body and via the pivotable linkage of the convertible top to the driver tool construction takes place.
Since the accommodation of the folding top in its merged placed in a traffic jam in the transition area between the vehicle interior and rear trunk takes place, conditional on them a given vehicle size, certain space constraints bids regarding the vehicle interior and / or the suitcase space. This complicates the fact that the load-bearing Parts of the folding top, depending on the size of the top and construction, sometimes not insignificant dimensions point, the corresponding free spaces especially in the lengthways side vehicle areas and thus the shape freedom with regard to other construction parts, such as restrict tank filler neck, for example.
These difficulties generally exist with folding tops come into play to a greater extent when a crowded ne vehicle construction is aimed for, because then the Klappver deck in its storage position the trunk volume increasingly restricted and in particular also the loadability of the case difficult.
This becomes particularly noticeable when the folding roof as a so-called named hardtop is formed, such as from DE 197 06 397 C1 is known because then rigid roof parts are given and an adaptation to the spatial conditions in the storage position only by mutual position changes changes of the roof parts to each other and their position to the Storage space limiting parts is possible. To make matters worse with such hardtop covers that the shipment of the relatively large-sized roof parts in the respective storage space also requires appropriate access to what leads to further space conflicts.
Furthermore, DE 199 48 746 A1 has already been used as an Hardtop-designed hood for vehicles proposed that consists of a front and a rear roof part, which are connected via a telescopic rail guide, and in which to open the roof, the front roof section first under the rear roof section is pushed in before the ent standing roof part package along a fixed position to the body Rail guide in the trunk with the tailgate open relocate. The rail is through the side of the box arranged, opposite and parallel running guide rails are formed, which have an S-shaped Have a course, um, starting from a flush course the roof parts with the convertible top closed, by ge controlled sequence when opening the top of the front under to be able to insert the rear roof part and thereby dete roof package immediately below the closed, the To be able to place the trunk part covering the trunk.
Furthermore, DE 36 25 628 A1 describes a hardtop knows that be from a front and a rear roof part stands and its front roof part over the rear roof part lateral spars in the area of the rear Edge of the rear roof part swivels with the body is connected, the connection in the area of the lateral Arms of a roll bar are made. The rear roof part is in the Area of its front transverse edge swiveling on the front roof partially articulated and from its closed top speaking closed position upwards over 180 ° in the front Opening position covering the roof part can be swiveled. From the Starting from this position, the front and rear roof sections are common sam on the articulated articulation of the longitudinal spars when open Luggage compartment lid swung backwards through 180 ° in the lid lid to place rich in the trunk, which is now after front longitudinal spars of the front roof section along the Extend vehicle sides forward into the seating area.
DE 197 31 330 A1 shows a further roof construction for Vehicles in which the top is split in two and one in front ren and has a rear hood part. The two A common sliding fold cover is assigned to convertible top parts, the in the area of the front part of the convertible top, when closed Convertible top, running between side rails that start from a top frame assigned to the rear top part Connect to the cowl of the vehicle and open Sliding folding cover against the front transverse side of the convertible top frame of the rear top part are to be folded, the Top frame a cassette-like receptacle for the merged pushed sliding folding cover forms. The back Ver The cover frame associated with the cover part is in the transition area to front convertible top part via a handlebar gearbox with side cam Ross pillars (B pillars) connected and clamped together with egg a foldable fabric hanger attached to these columns a rear window containing rear roof, which at opposite the convertible top frame of the rear convertible top part Fabric tensioning bracket together with the convertible top frame and that of the sem cassette-like sliding folding cover to the rear folded down can be placed on the trunk cover. A storage position within the trunk is with this solution such a hood concept is not given to be implemented as a hardtop.
To reduce the disadvantages and the limitations shown is the object of the invention.
According to the invention this is through the features of the claim 1 reached.
The fact that the folding roof in its folded jam position by adjusting the support brackets is possible compared to the vehicle body created the folding of the folding top in his Stowage in an area where in this regard favorable conditions exist. The roof package thus formed, in other words, the flap in its folded storage position convertible top can then by changing the location of the Carrying console are brought into the actual storage position. This results in significant relief, since the trag linkage with folding tops of the type mentioned in the Transfer of the convertible top from its folded stowage position, especially if this ent a storage position of the top speaks, in the closed position considerable swivel angle and Must go through swivel paths and the associated large Swivel angle require large coverage areas in which it there are overlaps with other construction parts can. Furthermore, such a solution also offers the possibility speed, the folding roof brought into a storage position, if necessary to be transferred to positions in which the restrictions be reduce the available loading volume of the trunk Are and / or accessibility to this loading volume is improved.
In view of these requirements, the consoles can be invented in accordance with its altitude relative to the vehicle body, but also be displaceable in the longitudinal direction thereof, wherein in this regard, conventional rod guides or the like can be set. One with regard to the one addressed Purpose particularly advantageous and simple design results if the brackets ver against the vehicle body pivotable, in particular pivoting in the height direction bar can be arranged, in connection with an alignment tion of the brackets in the vehicle longitudinal direction this preferably in essentially the same extent as the lateral Ver have deck guide elements, or in the height direction to these in Overlap, so that the adjustable according to the invention the consoles the space required for that in the stowed position sensitive hood not significantly affected.
The consoles are expediently oriented towards the Vehicle longitudinal direction stored in its longitudinal center area and in its front in relation to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle rich via an appropriate control device, for example hydraulic actuating cylinder acted upon articulation of the ver decks in the rear area of the consoles, so that with the Lift the one in its folded stowage position Folding roof this is also moved forward and one Starting position reached for unfolding the Klappver deck is particularly useful. This can preferably be raised ne starting position that of the closed position of the Form the folding top corresponding position of the consoles, whereby starting from the storage position this starting position for the Transfer the folding top to its closed position immediately can form an intermediate position in time, based on the Assignment of the storage space to the trunk, for ge loading opened trunk, the access to the trunk despite the folding top in the open position improves that even bulky goods are put in the trunk can be brought.
In particular, it has been shown to shift to the storage position folded folding roof by adjusting, in particular Swiveling the support brackets in connection with a case Room lid linkage as appropriate, in which the trunk dec about a front transverse axis related to the direction of travel Loading is opened and swiveled around one on the vehicle longitudinal direction rear transverse axis in an opening is transferred into the position in which the folding roof is in the storage space spanned by the trunk lid, especially in the trunk can be inserted. In conjunction with a such arrangement of the trunk lid also proves a pivotable mounting of the consoles as particularly expedient ßig, by swiveling the consoles into the jam the folded folding roof slants forward and upward is stored and thereby reaches the area that when opening of the trunk lid by pivoting around its rear Swivel axis is released.

Referring to Figs. 1 to 4 and 5 and 6, the first underlying the invention solution principles are explained, and the following Fig. 7 et seq illustrate a structurally possible and advantageous solution.
Fig. 1 shows a convertible version of a passenger car 1 , the convertible top 2 is designed as a hard top and in its closed position ( Fig. 4) roof side of a vehicle interior 3 .
When the folding top 2 is open, this is stored on the rear side in the trunk 4 of the vehicle 1 and, as shown in FIG. 1, is covered by a trunk lid 5 , which for retracting and extending the folding top 2 into the trunk 4 by one of the rear end region of the vehicle 1 assigned, indicated here at 6 pivot axis, which runs in the transverse direction of the vehicle, can be pivoted rearwards into an open position ( FIGS. 2 and 3) in which the convertible top stored in its storage position ( FIG. 1) in the trunk 4 is released and in the opposite direction - In the direction of its closed position as shown in FIG. 4 - pivoted who can.
The designed as a hardtop convertible top 2 , as FIG. 3 he knows, consists of a roof part 7 and a rear window part 8 , which are pivotally connected to one another and which are connected to the vehicle body by an overall designated 9 linkage ( FIG. 7) is.
This support rod 9 is supported via a bracket 10 ( Fig. 7 ff), which in turn is pivotally connected ver to a vehicle transverse axis 11 to the vehicle body, this connection being made via a mounting bracket 15 , against which also in the embodiment by a hydraulic Likes cylinder formed actuator 13 supports, via which the bracket 10 is pivotable about the axis 11 .
When transitioning from the storage position of the folding top 2 shown in FIG. 1 - storage in the trunk 4 - in the closed position (according to FIG. 4) - after pivoting the trunk lid 5 into its rear opening position - the folding top, which still occupies its folded storage position by pivoting the console 10 first in a raised inter mediate position ( Fig. 2) brought, in the exemplary embodiment pivots, and only starting from this intermediate layer by folding the top 2 into the closed position according to FIG. 4. In this, the console 10 remains in their raised intermediate position (folded position). In return, the intermediate position according to FIG. 2 is first approached when the Klappverdec kes is opened, where the roof part 7 is folded in via the rear window part 8 and both parts are brought together into the stowed position according to FIG. 2. Then the lowering into the trunk 4 takes place by moving the console 10 , in the exemplary embodiment by pivoting the console 10 . In this storage position, the end position, the folding top 2 can be covered by the trunk lid 5 , so that for the stored folding top 2 there is an end position covered by the trunk lid 5 according to FIG. 1.
If the convertible top 2 leads into its closed position ( FIG. 4), the trunk lid 5 connects to the rear end region of the convertible top 2 , specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 4, in the lower end region of the rear window part 8 .
In its storage position, the folded folding deck takes up a part of the vehicle volume otherwise usable as a trunk, especially when the folding top 2 is designed as a hard top, and this also over the width of the vehicle, even if the hard shells of the roof part 7 and rear window part 8 are partly themselves Form components of the support rod. This space requirement already given in the storage position grows when the folding top 2, starting from its storage position in the trunk, would be deployed, as is known per se, since the parts of the folding top, in particular its supporting linkage, have to pass through large swivel paths.
Avoiding this space requirement and thereby also reducing the size of the package that the folding top occupies in its folded storage position is made possible by the fact that the folding top folds into an intermediate position in which the folding top extends over the console in one area ( Fig. 2) is held, which is shifted relative to the storage position ( Fig. 1) in the direction of the lid and can be taken with the lid 5 open. This solution makes it possible to avoid otherwise inevitable component overlaps, for example with the tank filler neck and the like arranged in the region of the trunk.
Fig. 5, in analogy to Fig. 1, reveals that depending on the size of the components of the folding top, in particular depending on the roof part 7 and rear window part 8, the stored folding top 2 not only occupies a substantial part of the trunk 4 , but also largely covers it towards the rear end of vehicle 1 , with the result that not only is part of the trunk volume blocked by the folding top, but also access to the remaining trunk volume is difficult and possibly with the folding top 2 in the storage position the storage of larger objects is no longer possible, regardless of the trunk lid 5 loaded for loading the trunk 4 about a pivot axis 14 located in its front end region into a forwardly folded open position.
This disadvantage is countered in the solution according to the invention in that the folding top 2 folded in its stowed position to form a package for loading the trunk 4 is placed in an at least partially outside position 4 , in particular pivoted or raised, this in turn by appropriate adjustment of the brackets 10 that carry the convertible top package. Be preferred is the loading position shown in FIG. 6 for the intermediate position according to FIG. 2, which corresponds to the storage position of the roof, identical, and can be used for example when opening the trunk lid 5 with.
A possible solution to the two-sided pivoting of the Trunk lid shows, for example, DE 195 16 876 C1.
A function of the folding top according to the invention, as has been described with reference to FIGS . 1 to 6, can be realized in a constructive manner, for example, in a form as shown schematically in FIG. 7, FIGS . 8 to 10 additionally showing different positions show for the folding top.
In Fig. 7, 10 again designates the console, which serves as an intermediate carrier of the folding top 2 , which is adjustable relative to the construction of the vehicle, not shown, the console 10 being carried in the schematic illustration shown via a fixed bearing block 15 for the construction of the vehicle, not shown . Compared to the bracket 15 , the bracket 10 is pivotally mounted in the exemplary embodiment via an axis 11 running in the vehicle transverse direction, the pivot axis 11 in the exemplary embodiment lying in the central region of the console 10 extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction and the console 10 at its front in relation to the direction of travel End is supported by an actuator 13 in the form of a hydraulic actuating cylinder against the bearing block 15 . The Zy cylinder 13 is pivotally connected to the bracket 10 at its upper end in the articulation point 16 , and is supported on its lower end in an articulation point 17 against the bearing block 15 .
In the end area opposite the adjusting device 13 , the convertible top link 18 of the supporting link 9 carrying the rear window part 8 is mounted on the bracket 10 in the articulation point 19 , the console 10 as the base of the supporting link 9 in an articulation point 21 lying in the region of the pivot axis 11 with a further link, the guide link 22 is connected, which together with the convertible top link 18 carries a coupling link 23 , the steering points on the handlebars 18 and 22 are designated with 24 and 25 net. The coupling link 23 carries the roof part 7 , the Ver decklenker 18 the rear window part 8 .
In the illustration according to FIG. 7 of the hood corresponding positioning illustrates the closed position of the support rod 9 and the bracket 10, ie, a position accordingly Fig. 4, in which the console 10 is displaced relative to the trunk 4 upward. This is achieved in relation to the solution according to FIG. 7 by pivoting the bracket 10 about the vehicle transverse axis 11 via the actuating device 13 . The pivotability about a fixed vehicle transverse axis 11 represents a structurally particularly easy to master solution. In the context of the invention, however, other adjustment options are also possible for the console, for example via handlebars or the like.
The adjustment of the support rod 9 relative to the bracket 10 is carried out via an actuator 26 in the form of a Hydraulikzylin which extends essentially along the bracket 10 and the bracket side is pivotally supported in the front end region of the bracket 10 in a pivot point 27 . On the Verdecklen ker 18 engages the actuating cylinder 26 via a toggle linkage 28 , consisting of a point 29 on the console 10 is steered lever 30 and a lever 31 which is pivotally connected to the lever 30 at point 32 and on the handlebar 18 a lever arm 33 acts, the lever 31 and the lever arm 33 being connected in the articulation point 34 and the lever arm 33 projecting from the rigid handlebar 18 in the region of its articulation point 19 on the bracket 10 .
If the actuator 26 forming the cylinder is retracted, the support rod 9 first comes into a position according to FIG. 8, which roughly corresponds to an intermediate position of the convertible top 2 according to FIG. 3, in which the rear window part 8 and, accordingly, the handlebars 18 and 22 of the supporting linkage 9 , which together form the C-pillar of the folding top 2 , pivot clockwise downwards starting from the closed position according to FIG. 4, so that the shell-shaped roof part 7 and the likewise shell-shaped rear window part 8 are formed in the course of the further pivoting path with their inner surfaces facing each other.
Fig. 9 shows a continuation of this pivoting movement with the position of the console 10 reached folded folded position of the support rod 9 or the folding top, approximately corresponding to the position of the folding top in FIGS. 2 and 6.
From this intermediate position, in which the convertible top forms a folded package, the convertible top as a whole, with the position of the convertible top parts being kept relative to one another, by pivoting the console 10 in the sense of lowering it into the trunk 4 into its storage position, in which it is transferred via the Kof ferraumdeckel 5 , as illustrated in Fig. 1, covered who can. For the Fig. 8 to 10 the reference numerals are shown in FIG. 7, where appropriate for understanding, adopted.
In the above description, it is assumed that each vehicle side is assigned a supporting structure according to FIG. 7, with synchronous control of the associated actuating elements, namely the actuating device 13 and the actuating member 26 , both of which are designed as hydraulic cylinders in the exemplary embodiment. In the context of the invention, however, it is also possible to connect the brackets to one another and to assign a common actuating device 13 to the brackets.
FIG. 11 shows a practical construction of a convertible top guide mechanism according to FIG. 7, the forward direction of travel for the vehicle not shown for orientation being indicated by the arrow F, the same reference numerals for corresponding parts in FIGS. 7 and 11 and the embodiment illustrated, that a convertible top guide mechanism according to the invention has a compact design even in a practical solution and can be used in a space-saving manner.
