  • Patent number: 4915443
    Abstract: A transformable passenger motor vehicle with lateral doors and a passenger space is provided with a one-piece form-rigid covering that extends approximately at the height of the belt line of the open body and with the exception of a longitudinal cut-out for the driver closes the entire passenger space, whereby at least a forward and lateral partial area of the cut-out is surrounded by a window shield having a slight height. In order that the covering exhibits a good functioning combined with a simple construction and permits a comfortable egress from and ingress into the passenger space, the covering made of plastic material is pivotally supported at the body under interposition of two four-jointed hinges. For fixing the covering in its closed position, disengageable latching mechanisms interacting with windshield wiper mounting shafts are provided between the covering and the body.
