Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An arrangement with a cover for a vehicle roof is disclosed having a guide rail which extends along a vehicle longitudinal direction (X), a raising rod which is displaceable along the vehicle longitudinal direction (x) relative to the guide rail, a rear raising lever with respect to the vehicle longitudinal direction (X), which is coupled pivotably to the cover, and which—is guided with a first guide element in a first slotted link which is fixed in position with respect to the guide rail, is guided with a second guide element in a second slotted link which is fixed in position with respect to the guide rail, is guided with a third guide element in a third slotted link which is fixed in position with respect to the guide rail, and is coupled to the raising rod by means of a rotary bearing.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An arrangement with a cover for a vehicle roof, having: a guide rail which extends along a vehicle longitudinal direction (x), a raising rod which is displaceable along the vehicle longitudinal direction (x) relative to the guide rail, a rear raising lever with respect to the vehicle longitudinal direction (X), which is coupled pivotably to the cover, and which is guided with a first guide element in a first slotted link which is fixed in position with respect to the guide rail, is guided with a second guide element in a second slotted link which is fixed in position with respect to the guide rail, is guided with a third guide element in a third slotted link which is fixed in position with respect to the guide rail, and is directly coupled to the raising rod by means of a rotary bearing. 2. The arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the first slotted link has a profile in which a distance between the first slotted link and a base of the guide rail increases rearward in the vehicle longitudinal direction (x) in a section. 3. The arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the second slotted link has a profile which, rearward in the vehicle longitudinal direction (x), first of all runs in the same direction as the vehicle longitudinal direction (X) and then obliquely with respect to the vehicle longitudinal direction (X). 4. The arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the third slotted link has a profile which runs in the same direction as the vehicle longitudinal direction (X). 5. The arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the raising lever is coupled pivotably to the cover by means of a coupling element, the raising lever has a first end and an opposite second end, wherein the coupling element is arranged at the first end, and the second guide element and the third guide element are arranged at the second end. 6. An arrangement with a cover for a vehicle roof, having: a guide rail which extends along a vehicle longitudinal direction (x), a raising rod which is displaceable along the vehicle longitudinal direction (x) relative to the guide rail, a rear raising lever with respect to the vehicle longitudinal direction (X), which is coupled pivotably to the cover, and which is guided with a first guide element in a first slotted link which is fixed in position with respect to the guide rail, is guided with a second guide element in a second slotted link which is fixed in position with respect to the guide rail, is guided with a third guide element in a third slotted link which is fixed in position with respect to the guide rail, is coupled to the raising rod by means of a rotary bearing, and in which an axis of rotation of the rotary bearing and a longitudinal axis of the first guide element are identical. 7. The arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the raising rod is guided in the first slotted link by means of the first guide element. 8. The arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the raising rod is pivotable relative to the guide rail. 9. The arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the first guide element, the second guide element and the third guide element are each of bolt-shaped design. 10. The arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the third guide element and the third slotted link are designed in such a manner that the raising lever is pivotable relative to the guide rail and in the process is displaceable along the vehicle longitudinal direction (X). 11. An arrangement with a cover for a vehicle roof, having: a guide rail which extends along a vehicle longitudinal direction (x), a raising rod which is displaceable along the vehicle longitudinal direction (x) relative to the guide rail, a rear raising lever with respect to the vehicle longitudinal direction (X), which is coupled pivotably to the cover, and which is guided with a first guide element in a first slotted link which is fixed in position with respect to the guide rail, is guided with a second guide element in a second slotted link which is fixed in position with respect to the guide rail, is guided with a third guide element in a third slotted link which is fixed in position with respect to the guide rail, is coupled to the raising rod by means of a rotary bearing, and having an intermediate lever which is coupled rotatably at one end to the raising rod and is coupled at an opposite end on the rotary bearing to the raising lever. 12. The arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the third slotted link has a rear stop for the third guide element in order to limit a movement of the third guide element in the vehicle longitudinal direction (x). 13. The arrangement according to claim 5 , in which the cover is displaceable along the vehicle longitudinal direction (X) relative to the raising lever via the coupling element.
