  • Roof door device of motor vehicle
    Patent number: 5035463
    Abstract: A roof door device of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle has a roof and a side door operable to close a side door opening. The roof has a roof side opening which is positioned above and merged with the side door opening. A roof door is pivotally connected to the roof to open and close the roof side opening. A guide rail is mounted on the roof at a position near the roof side opening. A slider is slidable in and along the guide rail. A pivotal arm has one end pivotally connected to the roof and the other end connected to the roof door. A link member has one end pivotally connected to the slider and the other end pivotally connected to the pivotal arm, so that a movement of the slider in and along the guide rail in one direction causes folding of the pivotal arm thereby closing the roof side opening with the roof door. A pin is connected to the pivotal arm. The link member has a holding recess.
