Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention comprises an actuating mechanism which is provided on a fixed roof surface and which lifts and slides a cover.
An opening that can be opened and closed by a rigid cover that is slidable or can move up and down in cooperation with the connecting member that is formed, and the cover in the closed position that acts in the first direction and the second direction perpendicular to this direction. The invention relates to a vehicle roof having a screwable adjusting device for adjusting in a longitudinal direction and a height direction.

[0002]

2. Description of the Prior Art A method and apparatus for adjusting the height of a cover of a sliding or tilting roof structure to be incorporated into a roof of a motor vehicle is known, as is known from West German Patent 3,435,813, and simplifies the mounting operation. Use a mounting jig that sits on the cover and covers the roof opening for height adjustment. In this case, two directions perpendicular to each other, namely
A screwable adjusting device acting in the longitudinal and height directions of the roof is provided on a lifting element which is connected to the cover via a mounting plate included in the actuating mechanism of the cover.

In addition, in order to reduce the total mounting height of the roof cover and at the same time simplify the adjustment work, it is possible to use a tilting or shifting transmission mechanism which can be driven by a hand tool and which is of a vertically arranged type or has a working structure. A height adjustment device for at least a vertically movable roof cover of a vehicle roof of a type which constitutes a height adjustment device is provided in the tilt or shift transmission with respect to the longitudinal direction as known from West German Patent Publication No. 3,510,759. And a slot having at least one slit inclined at an angle, a device for operating a simple hand tool for displacing the slide plate, a vertical slot provided in another member, and a slot passing through the slot At least 1
Includes two fixing or coupling screws.

[0004]

The above-mentioned West German Patent No. 3,
In the case of No. 435,813, both adjustment directions were achieved by a single opening in the lifting element, so that said opening had to have a relatively large dimension in the longitudinal and height directions. Also, since at least two adjusting devices of this kind must be provided in the longitudinal direction of the lifting element,
The opening lowers the strength of the lifting element, and the lifting element has to be made relatively thick to compensate for it. Therefore, the structural width of the slide roof or the slide tilt roof to be built in is necessarily increased, and after adjustment, a sufficient fixing surface for fixing the mounting plate of the cover to the elevating element is obtained, so that it is relatively screwed. A fixing plate covering the large screw head and the opening of the lifting element had to be provided, and a washer had to be provided between the fixing plate and the screw head.

Therefore, since the adjusting device includes a relatively large number of members, the mounting operation and the adjusting operation are complicated, and when the slide roof or the slide tilt roof is incorporated, the structural height or the structural width is necessarily based on the adjusting device. In general, the roof opening to be released in this case was generally reduced. In the case of West German Patent Publication No. 3,510,759, the sliding plate is a supplementary member that must be separately manufactured and attached.
This type of vehicle roof is expensive to manufacture and install, requires a special hand tool to be used for adjustment work, and a screwdriver as a separate tool must be used to tighten the connecting screws on the threaded joint. I had to do it.

Further, the sliding plate provided in this case is
Since space is required both in the width direction and in the height direction, the height adjusting device provided in this case hardly achieves the reduction of the structural height and the structural width of the built-in roof. It is therefore an object of the invention not only to be easily installed and adjusted, but in particular to significantly reduce the structural width and structural height of the incorporated slide or slide-tilt roof, so that the cover maximizes the open position. An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle roof that can open the roof opening.

[0007]

The present invention takes the following technical means in order to achieve the above object. That is, it is provided on the fixed roof surface, and the cover is lifted and lowered.
A roof opening that can be opened and closed by a rigid cover that is slidable or can move up and down in cooperation with a connecting member that constitutes a dynamic mechanism, and acts in a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to this direction,
A vehicle roof having a screwable adjusting device for adjusting the cover in a closed position in a longitudinal direction and a height direction with respect to a roof surface, wherein the adjusting device acts in a first direction.
Adjusting hole is provided in the cover, set the adjustment hole connecting member which acts in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction of the adjusting device
It is characterized by being scraped .

[0008]

According to a first solution of the invention, the shifting system for adjusting the cover in the closed position is divided into at least two different parts of the slide or slide-tilt roof, longitudinally and vertically for cover adjustment. A shift in direction can be achieved, but the opening required for this only provides a shift path in one direction. Therefore, by the above division, the size of the opening used for the shift can be selected smaller than the conventional one, while the strength of the related structural member is not significantly reduced.

Thus, a relatively thin construction can be achieved, while on the other hand,
No supplemental structural members (eg fixing plates, etc.) are required, and screws with a small screw head diameter can be used for screw connection. Based on the synergy of all the above measures,
Since the structural width or structural height can be reduced and the number of structural members to be handled separately is reduced as much as possible, the manufacturing work and the mounting work can be simplified. In particular, no fixing plate, washer, etc. are required. At least a part of the adjusting device is formed from an elongated hole, which can be easily constructed during the production of the associated parts of the slide or slide-tilt roof, ie the member fixed to the roof or the member fixed to the connecting member. .

Further, the blind cover covering the gap between the cover and the roof surface forms a composite unit together with the cover inner panel so that it can be detachably and easily fixed to the cover inner panel supporting the cover, This unit is
A clip coupling system is provided for facilitating the mounting operation when the blind lid is detachably fixed to the cover inner panel when arranged in the connecting member included in the actuating mechanism during adjustment. In the cover of the vehicle roof adjusting device according to the present invention,
The elongated hole of the adjustment hole provided is provided in the cover inner panel and acts in the vertical direction.

On the other hand, the adjusting hole provided in the connecting member is also formed of an elongated hole and acts in the height direction. In some cases, the operating direction of each adjusting hole of the adjusting device can be exchanged, and when the operating direction of the adjusting hole of the adjusting device is vertical, the height dimension of the cover inner panel is designed to be small. Therefore, there is an advantage that the height of the structure is low. On the other hand, the height dimension of the connecting member of the adjustment hole formed in the connecting member on the basis of the structure, since a minimum anyway, the adjustment hole acting on the height direction is provided on the connecting member of the adjusting device The slot can be installed without problems.

Further, a member fixed to the cover (for example, an inner panel of the cover) is detachably connected to the cover of the cover,
A screw receiving member (for example, a nut member) is provided, and the screw receiving member is attached to the blind lid in advance so as not to be lost, so that the installation work and the adjustment work are simplified. Further, when the screw receiving member is fixed to the blind cover, the screw receiving member can be formed of a nut injection-molded on the blind cover for easy manufacture. Furthermore, as another measure, a screw receiving member is slidably installed on the blind lid,
Especially when the adjusting hole provided in the connecting member of the adjusting device acts in the vertical direction, the screw receiving member is installed on the blind cover so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. The direction of action is divided into a blind lid and a connecting member , the blind lid forming the fixed part of the cover of the adjusting device.

With this arrangement, it is not necessary to provide a corresponding adjusting device (for example, an elongated hole or the like) directly on the cover support member (for example, the cover inner panel), so that manufacturing technical advantages are obtained. Further, since the blind cover is fixed to the cover inner panel, it can be used as a member fixed to the cover of the adjusting device in this combined unit. In this way, the blind lid is given another function in addition to the covering function. In another solution of the invention, an opening (30) of the adjusting device having both directions of action is provided in the cover inner panel carrying the cover, the connecting member comprising:
Since the holding plate which covers the opening (30) of the adjusting device provided in the inner panel of the cover and which is fixed to the connecting member in the adjusted position is attached in advance, the connecting member has a screw receiving member (for example, Nuts, etc.) are also attached beforehand.

In the case of the above solution, both actuating devices, ie the height and longitudinal working directions, are realized in one structural member, namely the cover inner panel carrying the cover, Due to the screw connection, a screw head with a relatively small diameter can be selected, and a holding plate pre-mounted on the connecting member so as not to be lost provides a sufficient fixing surface for fixing the member after adjustment. Therefore, the height or width of the structure can be reduced and the mounting work can be simplified. This is because the members necessary for receiving and fixing the screws have already been attached to the connecting member so as not to be lost.

Furthermore, as compared with the prior art, at least no washers are required, thus reducing the total number of structural parts required for the adjusting device. That is, the holding plate provided in the present invention functions as a fixed plate and a washer. In this case, in order to improve the fixing action, the opposite fixing surface of the connecting member or the fixing surface of the holding plate or the relevant fixing surface of the cover inner panel can be roughened. In this way, even if the fixing surface is shrunk, a sufficient fixing action is secured to effectively fix the mutually arranged members.

A radius is provided on the edge of the holding plate facing the inner cover panel so that the holding plate can be constructed as large as possible in the height direction in order to provide the largest possible shift path in the height direction. In this case, the rounded portion is adapted to the shape of the cover inner panel so that the rounded portion of the pressing plate can also be used for the shift path.
Since the holding plate is pre-attached to the connecting member at at least two positions separated from each other by the receiving pin, the receiving pin can be connected to the connecting member by clip connection, welding or rivet connection.

In the above case of the present invention, since the connecting member is made of a metal plate and the structural width of the connecting member is reduced as much as possible, the structural width of the slide or slide tilt roof can be reduced. it can. Further, if the connecting member is made of synthetic resin and is designed to be relatively thick for reasons of strength and load, the structural width can be considerably reduced.
