Patent number: 10668792Abstract: An openable vehicle roof having a lid element, having displacement kinematics on both sides relative to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the roof, the lid element displacable between a closed position and opening position at least partially opening the roof opening by displacement kinematics. The displacement kinematics each have a first kinematic element and a second kinematic element connected to a coupling rod, which can be detachably coupled to the first kinematic element via a coupling member and be displaced between a coupling position and a decoupling position, in which the coupling member is accommodated by a locking recess of the guide rail. The coupling member is held in its decoupling position by a resilient securing element in the locking recess of the guide rail, said securing element being able to be displaced between a securing position and a releasing position by a positioning element of the displacement kinematics.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2016Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: WEBASTO SEInventors: Jürgen Stenvers, Florian Frank, Daniel Zörb

Patent number: 7681937Abstract: A closure device is provided for a cabriolet roof structure having at least one closure element which can assume an open position and a closed position, wherein the closure device is at least at times assigned a sensor device which can detect the open position and the closed position. According to the invention, it is provided that the sensor device comprises only one sensor which generates a first signal when the open position is reached and which generates a second signal when the closed position is reached. The invention also relates to a roof structure for a cabriolet and to a method for monitoring a closure device for a cabriolet roof structure.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2006Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: Webasto AGInventors: Peter Pohl, Jürgen Stenvers, Adam Wagner, Thorsten Schmeier

Patent number: 6561565Abstract: A motor vehicle roof with a sealing device with a seal for sealing a movable roof part with an adjacent motor vehicle part. The seal is pivoted relative to the movable roof part into a sealing position when the movable roof part is moved to a closed position, and the seal is pivoted relative to the movable roof part into a lowered position when the movable roof part is moved to an open position. The seal is connected to a bearing mechanism that allows the seal to be pivoted relative to the movable roof part, and a drive mechanism connecting the movable roof part to the seal in a manner to pivot the seal relative to the movable roof part based on positioning of the movable roof part.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2001Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Webasto Vehicle Systems International GmbHInventors: Martin Langguth, Jurgen Stenvers

Patent number: 6267433Abstract: A motor vehicle roof with a lowerable roof part (12) which can be moved via a lowering mechanism (48) from a raised into a lowered position and which has a closing device (14), with which the lowerable roof part (12) can be locked both in the raised and also in the lowered position, the closing device (14) with the lowerable roof part (12) raised interacting with a first pivot support (11) which is fixed on a stationary roof part (20). The lowerable roof part (12) can be locked securely in the raised and in the lowered position without high construction cost, and which enables universal use is created by the closing device (14) with the lowerable roof part (12) lowered interacting with a second pivot support (62) which is fixed on an element of the lowering mechanism (48).Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2000Date of Patent: July 31, 2001Assignee: Webasto Vehicle Systems International GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Bayer, Jürgen Stenvers
