Patent number: 7780219Abstract: A vehicle roof assembly includes a roof having rear and front roof elements relative to the direction of forward vehicle travel. The roof elements are movable between closed and opened positions of the roof. The assembly further includes a roof kinematic system having first and second guide rod systems located on opposite sides of the roof for movably connecting the roof to a vehicle body to move the roof between its closed and opened positions. Each guide rod system includes a guide rod. The guide rods are articulately connectable at respective ends to the front roof element and the vehicle body. The two guide rods with their respective pairs of articulated joints form a common four-bar kinematic linkage. Alternatively, the first guide rod system may be a two-bar kinematic linkage and the second guide rod system may be a four-bar kinematic linkage.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2008Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Magna Car Top Systems GmbHInventors: Thomas Halbweiss, Wojciech Wezyk, Robert Koschien

Publication number: 20070090664Abstract: A hardtop vehicle roof includes roof parts and kinematic mechanisms. The parts are movable between a closed position covering a vehicle interior and a storage position exposing the interior. Each part has an exterior surface facing away from the interior in the closed position. Each part has first and second longitudinally extending sides.
