  • Patent number: 9828067
    Abstract: The invention relates to a roof module for a land and/or water vehicle (10) having an accommodation facility comprising a kinematic unit (3) with two lateral guide rails (30), at least one roof segment (2) which is mounted in the guide rails (30) such that it can be moved between a closed position and an open position, and a circumferential load-bearing frame (4) with four profiled strips (40) which are connected to form a rectangle, which load-bearing frame (4) can be fastened to a vehicle roof (100) which has an opening (101) so as to surround the opening (101) or can be fastened in the opening (101) with the formation of a water barrier, the load-bearing frame (4) at least partially supporting and/or partially forming the kinematic unit (3).

  • Patent number: 7172235
    Abstract: A passenger car having a roof opening and a rear opening that are selectively covered by a segmented dimensionally stable roof and a rear lid, respectively. A linkage and actuator drive are common to the roof and rear lid. A supporting structure of the rear lid is connected to a rear roof section. The roof sections are connected by four bar linkages to adjacent sections. The angular position of a supporting link relative to the vehicle body is changed by the actuator drive.
