Abstract: A locking part structure for a vehicle, which includes a door, locking means for locking the door to a vehicle body when the door is closed, and an auxiliary plate that connects the door to the locking means. The locking means comprises a door side locking part that is set in a lock opening formed in the door, and a vehicle body side locking part that is disposed on a vehicle body side and engages with the door side locking part when the door is closed. The auxiliary plate comprises a door fixing part to be fixed to the door, a lock fixing part to be fixed to the door side locking part, and a bending part that is disposed between the door fixing part and the lock fixing part, and formed in a bending form so as to be stretchable.

Abstract: A tilt-up device tilts a rear end of a movable roof upwardly when the movable roof is moved from a normal position above the passenger's compartment of an automobile. The tilt-up device is mounted on a surface, which faces the passenger's compartment, of a fixed roof substantially centrally thereon in a transverse direction of the automobile body, and is positioned in front of a seal on the fixed roof. A trunk lid lifting and lowering device is mounted in a trunk and connected to an end of a trunk lid for selectively lifting the trunk lid away from a trunk and lowering the trunk lid toward the trunk. The trunk lid lifting and lowering device has a stopper device for inactivating the trunk lid lifting and lowering device when the trunk lid is locked by a lock device with the trunk lid lowered.

Abstract: A roof is opened and closed by utilizing a trunk lid for opening and closing a trunk room. The trunk lid can be raised and lowered while it is held substantially horizontal. The trunk lid is provided with a roof slide unit for moving the roof in longitudinal directions.When opening the roof in a closed state, the trunk lid is raised to a position behind the roof, and the roof is moved rearwardly by the roof slide unit to be supported by the trunk lid. Then, the trunk lid is lowered down to a position to close the trunk room. This brings an end to an operation of opening the roof. A reverse procedure may be taken for closing the roof.

Abstract: A vehicle sliding roof system for a roof structure in which a roof opening extending substantially over the entire width of the roof is defined between a front roof and a rear roof. A moveable central roof is guided for its motion by a pair of guide arms each having one end slidably guided by a first guide rail provided in the fixed rear roof and another end guided by a second guide rail provided in the moveable central roof. As the one end of each of the guide arms is moved along the first guide rail, the guide arm turns from a relatively lateral attitude to a more longitudinal attitude. Additionally, each of the second guide rails extends obliquely in such a manner that an internal end of the second guide rail is located behind an external end of thereof. Owing to these geometrical arrangements of the guide arms and the guide rails, the travel of the moveable central roof is maximized for a given longitudinal dimension of the first guide rails, and the possible roof opening area is thus maximized.
