Patent number: 6676204Abstract: A vehicle roof comprises a roof opening, a cover which can be raised and is provided for closing the roof opening, and a cover liner which can be positioned underneath the cover. The vehicle roof further comprises a linkage provided between the cover and the cover liner, by which the cover and the cover liner can be coupled to each other during raising the cover and by which a rear edge of the cover liner is lifted during raising the cover. The linkage has a drag lever which swivels during raising the cover. The drag lever is supported in a swivel bearing on the side of the vehicle roof and has a first bearing for connection with the cover as well as a second bearing for connection with the cover liner. The swivel bearing on the side of the vehicle roof and in the raised state of the cover lies underneath the first bearing for connection with the cover and is mounted to a guide by means of which the swivel bearing on the side of the vehicle roof is moved upwards during raising the cover.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2002Date of Patent: January 13, 2004Assignee: ArvinMeritor GmbHInventors: Edgar Weiss, Holger Oechel, Bardo Imgram

Patent number: 6663172Abstract: A frame is provided for vehicle roofs of all usual types, such as sliding sunroofs, slide-and-tilt sunroofs and top ridge sliding sunroofs (spoiler roofs), preferably having a motor drive for the cover that can be moved in relation to a roof opening by means of a cable drive system. The frame assembled from few parts comprises a plastic injection molded front member having cable channels open at the bottom and molded-on corner areas for the fixed attachment of the frame side members guiding the cover on guide rails, the side members preferably being cut to length from continuously cast aluminum profiles. The cable channels open at the bottom, into which the drive cables can easily be laid, are closed by at least one likewise plastic injection molded cover element. A motor mounting plate is provided as separate plastic injection molded part, so that it can be formed with high dimensional accuracy from another plastic particularly suited to the drive requirements.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2002Date of Patent: December 16, 2003Assignee: ArvinMeritor GmbHInventors: Edgar Weiss, Bardo Imgram, Holger Oechel, Hubert Bachmann
