  • Patent number: 4699421
    Abstract: Sliding and lifting roof for vehicles, having a cover, which in its closed position closes a roof opening, which cover is guided on guide tracks parallel to the side edges of the roof opening, connected with an actuating member by way of a lifting mechanism which is adjustable in a direction relative to the displacement of the cover, and which can be raised above the fixed roof surface by displacing the actuating member, or can be slidably displaced after lowering below the fixed roof surface. The lifting mechanism has a sliding retaining bracket and a lifting lever, that are relatively displaceable by the actuating member. The lifting lever, at one end, is connected with the cover and at an opposite end is pivotably supported about a shaft and is longitudinally and slidably guided by a limited distance in the direction of cover displacement, with respect to the sliding retaining bracket.
