Abstract: A device for adjusting the position of a sliding roof cover is provided. The cover is capable of moving in a sliding motion and can also be raised between a closed position and an open position relative to an opening in a roof. The device includes transportation carriages which permit sliding of the cover on guide rails. The transportation carriages are arranged on both sides of the opening in the roof. The device comprises a generally triangular shaped lifting lever which is pivotably mounted at the transportation carriage about a first pivot and pivotably connected to a connecting element at a second pivot. The lifting lever is connected to the cover by an intermediate lever, the intermediate lever is pivotably mounted to the lifting lever at a third pivot. The transportation carriage and the connecting element move relative to one another between the closed position and the open position of the cover and the connecting element extends laterally along the transportation carriage.

Abstract: A device for adjusting the position of a sliding roof cover is provided. The cover is capable of moving in a sliding fashion between a closed position and an open position relative to an opening in a roof. Transportation carriages for the cover are provided in a manner which permits sliding on guide rails. The transportation carriages are arranged on both sides of the opening in the roof. A lifting lever is mounted which permits turning at the transportation carriage about a pivot and at a connecting element about an articulated point. The lifting lever is connected to the cover by an intermediate lever. The intermediate lever is mounted in order that turning is permitted whereby the transportation carriage and the connecting element are capable of movement relative to one another.
