Abstract: A covering of a convertible top compartment of a convertible which has a convertible top which can be deposited in a convertible top compartment, the covering having at least one first cover part and one second cover part which are supported to be able to pivot relative to one another.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The invention relates to a folding roof for a convertible with a canvas top which is held by the frame of the top, which frame has side roof rods, a main bow and a top mechanism supported on the body for opening and closing the folding roof, which contains one side main column which on the one hand is pivotally mounted on the body and on the other in a pivot joint on the roof rod and is adjoined by the canvas folding roof tensioned when the top is closed, the main bow (9) forming a roof cassette (10) which is permanently connected to the roof rod (8) and an additional rod (14; 14′) being movably arranged in the area of the main column (3) and being kinematically coupled to a component (10; 4), especially a folding roof frame part or a body-mounted part, to which the additional rod (14; 14′) executes relative motion when the main column (3) executes a pivoting motion, and the canvas top (26) adjoining or being attached to the additional rod (14; 14′) and the additional rod (14; 14′) exe

Abstract: A drive device for a swivelling component that is pivotally mounted, for example, on a motor vehicle. The swivelling component is connected to a drive via a coupler which can be swivelled by the drive. The coupler having a connector which is connected via a connecting rod to the swivelling component. The connector can be driven by the drive and is movably supported along a guideway. To achieve uniform transfer of motion the guideway is a curved guide rail that is circular with the center of the circle lying on the axis of rotation of the swivelling component or is a three-dimensional curve.
