20140300132 | Convertible Top With Transverse Bow - A convertible top of a cabriolet vehicle includes a convertible top cover, which is adjustable by means of a convertible top rod assembly between a closed position spanning a vehicle interior and a storage position opening the vehicle interior toward the top. The convertible top rod assembly includes a rod arrangement on both sides in relation to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the convertible top. Each rod arrangement includes a main link and a main column, which are pivotably mounted on a vehicle-fixed main bearing. At least one transverse bow connects the rod arrangements with each other. The transverse bow is respectively connected to an auxiliary link on both sides in relation to the vertical longitudinal center plane of the convertible top. Each auxiliary link is pivotably connected to the respective main column on the one hand and to the respective main link on the other hand. | 10-09-2014 |
20140300131 | Convertible Top With Frame Locking Mechanism - A convertible top of a cabriolet vehicle includes a convertible top rod assembly, which can be adjusted between a closed position spanning the vehicle interior and a storage position. The top trod assembly includes a link arrangement on both sides of a vertical longitudinal center plane of the convertible top. The link arrangement includes a main link and a main column, which are pivotably mounted on a vehicle-fixed main bearing, and a front-side first link element and a second link element, which is arranged rearward of the first link element in the closed position and is connected to the first link element by a joint arrangement. The first link element can be pivoted relative to the second link element by an actuating link extending along the second link element and can be secured against pivoting relative to the second link element in the closed position by a locking element. The locking element is mounted to rotate and interacts with a closing bolt and is adjustable between a locked position and an open position. The closing bolt is arranged on the actuating link. | 10-09-2014 |
20140294615 | Actuating Device For An Adjustable Convertible Top System Of A Motor Vehicle - An actuating device for an adjustable convertible top system of a motor vehicle includes at least two hydraulic drive cylinders. A first drive cylinder transmits an adjustment movement to a first gearing arrangement, and a second drive cylinder transmits the adjustment movement to a second gearing arrangement. The first drive cylinder and the second drive cylinder are connected hydraulically in series, such that an annular volume of the first drive cylinder is in fluid communication with a circular volume of the second drive cylinder via a connecting line. There is a difference between an annular area of the first drive cylinder forming the annular volume and a circular area of the second drive cylinder forming the circular volume. Intermediate gears having a different geometry and/or kinematics compensate for a speed difference between the two drive cylinders resulting from the difference. | 10-02-2014 |
20140210229 | CABRIOLET VEHICLE WITH ARTICULATED FRAME FLAPS AND SOFT TOP LOCK - A cabriolet vehicle having an opening hood which is displaceable between a closed position spanning the interior of the vehicle, and a stowage position which opens up the top of the vehicle interior and which comprises a hood frame which comprises a frame arrangement on each side in relation to a vertical vehicle longitudinal center plane wherein the frame arrangement is mounted pivotally on a main bearing fixed on the vehicle at the rear end and in the closed position of the hood engages through a frame opening arranged in a vehicle edge area wherein the opening can be covered by means of a flap arrangement when the hood is in the stowage position, as well as a locking arrangement which secures the hood in its stowage position. | 07-31-2014 |
20140099156 | Bearing Arrangement Having A Bearing Socket - A bearing arrangement includes a carrier device and a bearing socket for rotatably supporting a component. The bearing socket includes a sleeve fixed in a recess of the carrier device. A peripheral wall of the sleeve delimits an inner space for receiving a bearing journal of a component. The sleeve includes at least a first, inner catch element securing the bearing journal in the sleeve and a second, outer catch element securing the sleeve in the recess of the carrier device. The second catch element is formed from a catch tongue which is a portion of the peripheral wall of the sleeve and which has a hooked portion for engagement in a catch receiving member of the recess of the carrier device. | 04-10-2014 |
20140042770 | Folding Top with Rear-window Link - A folding top of a cabriolet vehicle, comprising a foldable top lining which can be adjusted by means of a top linkage between a closed position, in which it covers a vehicle interior, and a stowed position, in which it opens up the vehicle interior in the upward direction, the top linkage having, at both sides of a vertical top longitudinal central plane, in each case one link arrangement which comprises a rear-window link to which there is articulatedly connected a rigid rear window which is bordered by the top lining. The rear-window links are articulatedly connected in each case via a first joint to an intermediate link which is articulatedly connected via a second joint to a base element. The rear-window links, in the closed position, are supported in each case on the respectively associated intermediate link via a rear-window link stop. | 02-13-2014 |
20110049941 | FOLDING TOP ARRANGEMENT FOR A CONVERTIBLE - A folding top arrangement for a convertible, comprising a first roof part, and a holding part, wherein the first roof part is arranged in front of the holding part when the folding top is closed, wherein the first roof part can be pivoted rearward over the holding part, wherein the first roof part is mounted on the holding part by means of a drivable first kinematic linkage, wherein the first kinematic linkage comprises a first, front, roof part link, a second, rear, roof part link, a first auxiliary link and a second auxiliary link, wherein the holding part, the first roof part link, the first auxiliary link and the second auxiliary link together form a first four-bar arrangement, wherein the holding part forms a ground link of the first four-bar arrangement, and wherein the first roof part link forms a coupler of the first four-bar arrangement. | 03-03-2011 |
20100259066 | HOOD FOR A CONVERTIBLE VEHICLE - The invention relates to a folding top for a convertible vehicle, wherein the folding top can be displaced between a closed position and an opened position, comprising a main guide link mechanism with a first main guide link, a second main guide link and a guide link element, and a first folding top element, wherein the first folding top element pivotally couples the first main guide link and the second main guide link together, and wherein, starting from the closed position of the folding top, one of the first main guide link and the second main guide link can be displaced in a vertical direction by a swiveling of the guide link element. | 10-14-2010 |
