Abstract: A profile rail joint for use for example in light crane systems has connecting ends of profile rails to be joined, provided with jointing sleeves arranged on side surfaces of the rails, the sleeves comprising through holes for locking devices of the joint, and at least two of the sleeves being situated in profile recesses of the rails. The joint also includes guide elements extending over the joint surface for aligning the connecting ends. At least two jointing sleeves provided in the profile recesses are arranged such that the bottom of the recess and the side wall of the jointing sleeve are spaced apart at least over a section of the sleeve's length, the guide elements for the joint being placed in resulting intermediate spaces.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle and a folding top. The folding top (5) comprises a top cover (6) of flexible material fitted to extend at least over the luggage compartment (2) when the top is in its closed position, limiting the luggage compartment in the vertical direction, a U-shaped rear bow (7), to which the rear edge of the top cover is attached and which comprises a substantially horizontal transverse arm (8) and two substantially forward directed arms (9) at the ends of the transverse arm, the front ends (10) of said two arms (9) being connected to joints allowing a turning motion relative to the body, and which rear bow can be turned between a lowered closed position, in which the rear bow leans against the body and tailgate in close contact with them, and a raised open position. The top comprises a power means (11) for raising and lowering the rear bow (7), and an operating switch (12) disposed in the immediate vicinity of the tailgate (4) for activating the power means.

Abstract: Folding hard top structure for a convertible, said structure comprising substantially rigid roof panel parts (1, 2, 3) which, like the top of a saloon car, cover the passenger compartment of the convertible when the top is in a closed raised position (I) and which can be folded down to a lowered open position (II) leaving at least part of the passenger compartment uncovered, in which, in the raised position (I) of the car top, adjacent roof panel parts comprise a first roof panel part (1) having a first edge (4) and a second roof panel part (2) having a second edge (5) which, in the raised position (I) of the top, is fitted to butt against the first edge (4) of the first roof panel part (1), and which roof panel parts (1, 2) are apart from each other when the top is in the lowered open position (II).
