  • Patent number: 6139087
    Abstract: A folding top for a convertible has two roof frames which run along the longitudinal sides. Each of these roof frames is divided into three sections. The rear of these sections is connected to a pivot on the body and, by means of a further pivot, to the central frame piece. The front frame piece is linked to the central frame piece with the aid of a parallelogram link arrangement which is configured in such a way that during opening the front frame piece is guided upward onto the central frame piece, so that the roof lining is not exposed even when the folding top is open.
