Patent ID: 7762623

Claim:
A vehicle roof with at least two cover elements which optionally close or at least partially open up a roof opening, of which a front cover element can be deployed with its rear edge above a fixed vehicle roof region and of which a rear cover element serves as a sliding cover, can be lowered under the fixed vehicle roof region and can be displaced along guide rails which are arranged on both sides of the roof opening and are fixed on the roof, and with an actuating mechanism for the two cover elements, characterized in that the actuating mechanism for each guide rail comprises a slide unit which comprises a respective control track for the front cover element and the rear cover element, the control tracks being designed in such a manner that, starting from a closed position of the two cover elements, a displacement of the slide units in the direction of the vehicle rear firstly causes the two cover elements to be pivoted out into a ventilation position, a further displacement of the slide units in the same direction causes the rear cover element to be pivoted back and lowered, and then causes the rear cover element to be pulled back under a rear roof skin section.
