Abstract

A lid member of a vehicle roof is disclosed having a plate-like lid body having an inner and an outer large face, to which a moulded plastic portion has been moulded. The moulded plastic portion can be configured to receive an insert which is embodied as a hollow body, and which rests against the inner large face of the lid body. The insert may have an abutment flange, which limits a hollow space opening and which is provided with a circumferential sealing rib which rests against the inner large face of the lid body.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A lid member of a vehicle roof, comprising:
a plate-like lid body having an inner and an outer large face, to which a moulded plastic portion has been moulded,
the moulded plastic portion configured to receive an insert which is embodied as a hollow body, and which rests against the inner large face of the lid body,
wherein the insert has an abutment flange, which limits a hollow space opening and which is provided with a circumferential sealing rib, which is integral with the insert as a simile piece, and which rests against the inner large face of the lid body.

2. The lid member according to claim 1 , wherein the insert is an injection-moulded plastic article.

3. A lid member of a vehicle roof, comprising: a plate-like lid body having an inner and an outer large face, to which a moulded plastic portion has been moulded, the moulded plastic portion configured to receive an insert which is embodied as a hollow body, and which rests against the inner large face of the lid body, wherein the insert has an abutment flange, which limits a hollow space opening and which is provided with a circumferential sealing rib which rests against the inner large face of the lid body; and
wherein the circumferential sealing rib is embodied in one piece with the abutment flange.

4. The lid member according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing rib, starting from the abutment flange, has a height of 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm.

5. The lid member according to claim 1 , wherein the insert comprises a cam for an air deflector of the vehicle roof, the air deflector being deployable as a function of a position of the lid member.

6. The lid member according to claim 5 , wherein the insert comprises a pilot cam for the air deflector, the pilot cam being arranged between the cam and a front edge of the lid member.

7. The lid member according to claim 1 , wherein the moulded plastic portion is a circumferential edge foam section of the lid body.

8. The lid member according to claim 3 , wherein the insert is an injection-moulded plastic article.

9. The lid member according to claim 3 , wherein the sealing rib, starting from the abutment flange, has a height of 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm.

10. The lid member according to claim 3 , wherein the insert comprises a cam for an air deflector of the vehicle roof, the air deflector being deployable as a function of a position of the lid member.

11. The lid member according to claim 10 , wherein the insert comprises a pilot cam for the air deflector, the pilot cam being arranged between the cam and a front edge of the lid member.

12. The lid member according to claim 3 , wherein the moulded plastic portion is a circumferential edge foam section of the lid body.

13. A passenger car having a lid member having a plate-like lid body having an inner and an outer large face, to which a moulded plastic portion has been moulded, the moulded plastic portion configured to receive an insert which is embodied as a hollow body, and which rests against the inner large face of the lid body, wherein the insert has an abutment flange, which limits a hollow space opening and which is provided with a circumferential sealing rib which rests against the inner large face of the lid body; and
wherein the circumferential sealing rib is embodied in one piece with the abutment flange.

14. A vehicle roof having a lid member having a plate-like lid body having an inner and an outer large face, to which a moulded plastic portion has been moulded, the moulded plastic portion configured to receive an insert which is embodied as a hollow body, and which rests against the inner large face of the lid body, wherein the insert has an abutment flange, which limits a hollow space opening and which is provided with a circumferential sealing rib which rests against the inner large face of the lid body; and
wherein the circumferential sealing rib is embodied in one piece with the abutment flange.
