Patent number: 7404600Abstract: Motor vehicle roof with a roof opening, a movable closing element to selectively close or at least partially clear the roof opening, a wind deflector in a front edge area of the roof opening and which is movable between lowered and filly raised positions, and a positioning device for setting intermediate positions of the wind deflector which has a holder which engages the wind deflector and a driven displacement mechanism for vertically displacing the wind deflector into the intermediate positions. The adjustment mechanism has a guide element which is driven by the drive into motion along the wind deflector with an inclined guideway along which an engagement element which is connected to the holder is movably guided. The engagement element is supported on a body-mounted carrier such that it can be moved with respect to the carrier only normal to the direction of motion of the guide element.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2006Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Assignee: Webasto AGInventors: Jadi Karami, Martin Kiedl, Christian Gallner

Patent number: 7093892Abstract: Motor vehicle roof with a roof opening, a movable closing element to selectively close or at least partially clear the roof opening, a wind deflector in a front edge area of the roof opening and which is movable between lowered and fully raised positions, and a positioning device for setting intermediate positions of the wind deflector which has a holder which engages the wind deflector and a driven displacement mechanism for vertically displacing the wind deflector into the intermediate positions. The adjustment mechanism has a guide element which is driven by the drive into motion along the wind deflector with an inclined guideway along which an engagement element which is connected to the holder is movably guided. The engagement element is supported on a body-mounted carrier such that it can be moved with respect to the carrier only normal to the direction of motion of the guide element.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2004Date of Patent: August 22, 2006Assignee: Webasto AGInventors: Jadi Karami, Martin Kiedl, Christian Gallner

Patent number: 6669277Abstract: The invention relates to a wind deflector for a closable motor vehicle roof or a roof module, in which the wind deflector has a flexible layer formed at least in part as air-permeable net. The flexible layer is attached on at least two opposing sides to braces, one of the braces being connected laterally to a swiveling raising arm which is located on a roof frame of the motor vehicle roof or module. At least one other brace, which is connected to another swiveling raising arm, is attached to the layer. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle roof or roof module including the wind deflector.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2002Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: Webasto Vehicle Systems International GmbHInventors: Manfred Färber, Jadi Karami, Bodo Von Czarnowski

Patent number: 6224147Abstract: A sliding roof with at least one slidable and optionally also raisable rigid cover element for selectively closing or at least partially exposing a roof opening of a motor vehicle in which the cover element is guided along at least one roof-mounted guide for a sliding motion between an open position and a closed position and is equipped with a brake mechanism which takes effect only in case of a crash, the brake mechanism remaining inactive during normal movements of the cover element between the open and closed position, and braking the cover element over a path which has a length which is dependent on the acceleration forces which occur during a crash.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1998Date of Patent: May 1, 2001Assignee: Webasto Karosseriesysteme GmbHInventors: Manfred Färber, Wolfgang Ettl, Jadi Karami-Malamiri, Wolfgang Dittrich, Andreas Engl
