Mechanism for a sun roof
View Patent ↗A mechanism for a sun roof has at least one guide rail, a lifting slide that can be moved along the guide rail, and a guide slide that can be locked in the guide rail in an initial position. The guide slide can be moved in the guide rail once the guide slide is unlocked. A cover holder is coupled to the lifting slide and the guide slide in such a way that the cover can be moved between a closed position and an opened position.
1. A mechanism for a sun roof comprising:
at least one guide rail;
a lifting slide movable in the at least one guide rail;
a guide slide accommodated slideably in the at least one guide rail and arranged rearwardly of the lifting slide, the guide slide having a locked position where the guide slide is held fixed relative to the at least one guide rail and an unlocked position where the guide slide is moved along the at least one guide rail; and
a cover holder coupled to the lifting slide and the guide slide such that the cover holder is selectively movable between a closed position and an opened position, wherein the lifting slide is associated with a front end of the cover holder, and wherein the cover holder and the lifting slide are connected to one another with a lifting link guide.
2. The mechanism in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the cover holder and the lifting slide are connected to one another with a release link guide.
3. The mechanism in accordance with claim 2 , including a release pin on the cover holder wherein the lifting slide has a release link that engages the release pin.
4. The mechanism in accordance with claim 1 , including a lifting pin on the lifting slide wherein the cover holder has a lifting link that engages the lifting pin.
5. The mechanism for a sun roof comprising:
at least one guide rail;
a lifting slide movable in the at least one guide rail;
a guide slide having a locked position where the guide slide is held fixed relative to the at least one guide rail and an unlocked position where the guide slide is moved along the at least one guide rail;
a cover holder coupled to the lifting slide and the guide slide such that the cover holder is selectively movable between a closed position and an opened position, wherein the lifting slide is associated with a front end of the cover holder, and wherein the cover holder and the lifting slide are connected to one another with a lifting link guide; and
a lifting pin on the lifting slide wherein the cover holder has a lifting link that engages the lifting pin and wherein the at least one guide rail has an indentation that receives a lower end section of the cover holder when in the closed position, and wherein an end of the lifting link is aligned with the indentation when the cover holder is in the closed position.
6. The mechanism in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the guide slide and the cover holder are connected to one another with a guide link guide.
7. The mechanism in accordance with claim 6 , including a guide pin on the cover holder wherein the guide slide has a guide link that engages the guide pin.
8. The mechanism in accordance with and claim 7 , wherein the cover holder and the lifting slide are connected to one another with a release link guide, and including a release pin on the cover holder wherein the lifting slide has a release link that engages the release pin and wherein the guide pin and the release pin are the same pin.
9. The mechanism in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the guide slide includes a bolt that is engageable in a recess in the at least one guide rail.
10. The mechanism in accordance with claim 9 , wherein the lifting slide includes an unlocking link that engages the bolt.
11. A mechanism for a sun roof comprising:
at least one guide rail;
a lifting slide movable in the at least one guide rail;
a guide slide having a locked position where the guide slide is held fixed relative to the at least one guide rail and an unlocked position where the guide slide is moved along the at least one guide rail, and wherein the guide slide includes a bolt that is engageable in a recess in the at least one guide rail, the bolt having an unlocking pin that engages the lifting slide; and
a cover holder coupled to the lifting slide and the guide slide such that the cover holder is selectively movable between a closed position and an opened position.
12. A mechanism for a sun roof comprising:
at least one guide rail;
a lifting slide movable in the at least one guide rail;
a guide slide having a locked position where the guide slide is held fixed relative to the at least one guide rail and an unlocked position where the guide slide is moved along the at least one guide rail, and wherein the guide slide includes a bolt that is engageable in a recess in the at least one guide rail, the bolt having a flat spring that connects the bolt to the guide slide and which causes the bolt to locate in the recess; and
a cover holder coupled to the lifting slide and the guide slide such that the cover holder is selectively movable between a closed position and an opened position.
13. The mechanism in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the lifting slide is connected to the cover holder by a release link positioned in the lifting slide and a release pin that engages the release link, and wherein the release pin is located at the front end of the cover holder.
14. The mechanism in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the lifting link guide includes a lifting link included within the cover holder and a lifting pin located on a rear end of the lifting slide that engages in the lifting link.
