Abstract: A receiving arrangement is suggested for a hard roof, particularly for a hardtop of a motor vehicle, which is arranged on a movable stand. The movable stand has a carrying device formed of struts which has at least four bearing receiving devices for the hardtop. These bearing receiving devices are arranged to correspond to locks and push-in tongues of the hardtop. The carrying device, together with the bearing receiving devices, is constructed to be separable from the stand and forms a separate, locally fastenable carrying device. Furthermore, it is provided that the stand can be adjusted into a horizontal working position, for which a supporting tube is used which can be supported on the basic stand.
