Abstract: A glazed roof of a motor vehicle is provided, which includes at least one opening and a fixed glazed structure bearing at least one element sliding on the inside of the vehicle and intended to close the opening(s). The glazed structure has an external contour coinciding with an accommodating surround on the chassis of the vehicle so the contour can be secured to the accommodating surround, as a flush fit. Each of the sliding elements is guided along two rails secured to the surface of the fixed structure, in a region distant from the external contour so as not to interfere with the securing of the latter to the accommodating surround. The roof has at least one retaining element, having a first end secured to one of the rails and a second end secured to the chassis. Each of the retaining elements is positioned at right angles to the rail.

Abstract: A device is provided for closing off a window made in a motor vehicle. The device includes a fixed part intended to be attached to the vehicle and at least one movable glazed panel able to move along a sliding axis between a closed position in which it closes off an opening defined in the fixed part and at least one open position in which the opening is at least partially free. The device includes at least one cable attached to the movable panel, a portion of the cable bearing the movable panel, moving parallel to the sliding axis in order to move the movable panel and engaging with a displacement device able to shift the movable panel from a closing plane corresponding to the plane of the fixed part to a sliding plane parallel to the closing plane.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle shading device, including a blind sheet capable of moving according to an axis of deployment between a folded position and at least one deployed position, one end of said blind sheet being mounted on a roller tube. According to the invention, said blind sheet has at least one holding and/or guiding element separated from the lateral edges of said blind sheet and extending parallel to said axis of deployment, and cooperating with a guide rail having a complementary cross-section to that of said holding and/or guiding element, said guide rail being formed in or on a cross-piece extending inside said vehicle.

Abstract: A seal covers a longitudinal groove forming a slide on the top of a roof bar which has in cross section, on its face that faces upward, two longitudinal lips projecting substantially toward each other to cover partly a longitudinal cavity of the bar and to define the groove between them. The seal has on each longitudinal lateral edge a conformation of substantially U-shaped cross section complementary to that of the corresponding longitudinal lip in order to interengage with the lip. The seal has two longitudinal cuts on its face facing toward the cavity, between the two longitudinal lateral conformations. The cuts extend from that face to the vicinity of a top surface of the seal to form a longitudinal central tongue between the cuts which is easily separated from the two longitudinal lateral parts of the seal.

Abstract: A device for attaching long objects, in particular bars, includes an element for attaching bars together and a tongue having hook means. The element for attaching the bars together includes four identical arms assembled in pairs at the ends of a central region. The hook means is an eyelet.

Abstract: A fixing device for cycle racks of the so-called "upright" type is in two parts. The first part comprises a removable support. It is attached to the bottom tube of the frame of the cycle by adjustable tension clips and includes a hook. A cover hides the means for adjusting the clips. The second part is attached to the fork which is mobile in rotation on the cycle rack. It includes a spring catch in a box in which the hook is engaged. A ring releases the spring catch. The spring catch can be locked by a key-operated anti-theft device.
