Patent ID: 7172235

Claim:
A passenger car having a body that defines body openings, and cover elements provided for them, which are movably coupled on the body, have allocated to them an actuator drive supported on the body, and of which one cover element is actuated by the actuator drive where it is supported against the body, and is located in the driving linkage for other cover elements with this body support, wherein a rear access opening to a storage compartment and a roof opening as well as a roof cover as the cover element for the roof opening and a rear lid for the access opening angularly displaced relative to the contour of the roof cover are provided as body openings, and wherein the roof cover consists of several dimensionally stable roof sections, which abut each other in the longitudinal vehicle direction with the roof cover closed proceeding from a rear roof section neighboring the rear lid, and attach to one another in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and starting with the rear roof component are sequentially braced against one another by the drive mechanism with the roof cover open, the roof sections are aligned sequentially with upwardly directed roof exteriors with the roof cover closed proceeding from the rear roof section, and lie in the storage compartment that can be closed via the rear lid provided with a supporting structure located in the body support, comprising: the roof cover carried by the supporting structure of the rear lid, wherein the supporting structure of the rear lid is actuated by the actuator drive; and the roof sections abutting the rear roof section lie under the rear roof section adjacent to the rear lid with the roof cover open; the supporting structure of the rear lid is connected with the rear roof section via a four-bar linkage, one link of which has couplings to the supporting structure and to the rear roof section having two links lying one in back of the other as a connection to the body; and one link of the two links forms a supporting link that supports the actuator drive acting upon the supporting structure against the body, and can be varied in terms of its angular position relative to the body and other link via the actuator drive.
