Patent ID: 7000974

Claim:
A linkage connection for soft-top linkages of motor-vehicle soft-tops, having supporting linkages assigned to the longitudinal sides of the soft-top and having soft-top bows which are secured against the latter via supporting bearings, run in the transverse direction of the vehicle, in each case have, as part of the supporting bearings, a plug-in opening for a bearing spike on the linkage side and are supported in a manner latching axially against the bearing spike passing through the plug-in opening, wherein the soft-top linkage is designed as a folding linkage for passenger vehicle folding soft-tops, and in that the supporting bearings in each case have an insert body which is plugged into the plug-in opening and receives the bearing spike which is formed on the linkage arm, and which has a stop collar, which delimits the plug-in depth into the plug-in opening, and, in the opposite direction to the stop collar, is supported against the bearing spike and the soft-top bow via latching mechanisms spaced apart axially from one another.
