A vehicle roof has at least two roof segments which, in the closed position of the roof, support a flexible roof skin at least in some regions and can be shifted via at least two pairs of links in a positively controlled manner from a closed position G of the top into a fixed storage position A of the top and vice-versa. One pair of links is thereby drivable by motor in order to move all of the roof parts. In the storage position A of the top, the driven pair of links can be supported by a first vehicle-body-side stop on each side of the vehicle in order to fix all of the roof parts with defined distances being maintained at least between the at least two pairs of links.
1. A vehicle roof for a vehicle body of a vehicle, comprising:
at least two roof segments;
a flexible roof skin supported, in at least some regions thereof, on said at least two roof segments in a closed position of the vehicle roof;
at least two pairs of links connected for shifting said at least two roof segments in a positively controlled manner between a closed position of the top into a fixed storage position of the top, said at least two pairs of links including a driven pair of links drivable by motor for moving all roof parts of the vehicle roof;
a first vehicle-body-side stop fixed on each side of the vehicle body and disposed to directly support said driven pair of links in the storage position of the top, for fixing all roof parts of the vehicle roof and maintaining defined spacing distances at least between said at least two pairs of links.
2. The vehicle roof according to claim 1 , wherein said at least two roof segments include a frontmost roof segment and a last roof segment, and wherein a second stop supports said frontmost roof segment or a roof segment disposed ahead of said last roof segment and adjoining the first roof segment in the storage position.
3. The vehicle roof according to claim 2 , wherein said second stop is fixed on the vehicle body.
4. The vehicle roof according to claim 3 , wherein said second stop is integrated in a rollover protection system of the vehicle.
5. The vehicle roof according to claim 2 , wherein said second stop is arranged either centrally or in pairs in each case in region behind a pair of seat backs.
6. The vehicle roof according to claim 5 , wherein said second stop engages under a roof lug.
7. The vehicle roof according to claim 1 , wherein said pairs of links are a pair of roof links and a pair of supporting links, and said pair of supporting links is indirectly driven via said pair of roof links.
8. The vehicle roof according to claim 2 , which further comprises a third stop forming of a buffer disposed to act upon a roof segment from above.
9. The vehicle roof according to claim 8 , wherein said third stop is disposed to act upon a vehicle roof region that is not provided with said flexible roof skin.
10. The vehicle roof according to claim 8 , wherein said third stop is disposed on an inside or an edge side of a top compartment and/or a rear lid.
11. The vehicle roof according to claim 8 , wherein at least one of said first stop, said second stop, and said third stop is a vertically adjustable stop.
12. The vehicle roof according to claim 1 , wherein said pairs of links form a roof framework including at least one four-bar linkage which, in the fixed storage position, is placed in a secured position between at least two stops.
13. The vehicle roof according to claim 8 , wherein said at least two roof segments include a frontmost roof segment and at least said frontmost roof segment is a rigid roof shell and, in the storage position of the top, said roof shell is acted upon in a fixing manner by the second stop and the third stop with a shearing force being exerted on the top framework.
