Abstract

See full text

A driving mechanism for a motor-driven convertible roof for a motor vehicle has a linkage system formed of a front roof frame, a rear roof frame, and a main roof arch pivotally connected to the motor vehicle body by a tension bracket and another bracket. A motor drive and a transmission system are connected to the main roof arch and the tension bracket and provide the driving force for the linkage system. The main roof arch and the tension bracket are each driven by a separate lever and connecting rod. One of the levers entrains the other over a certain range of movement and the motor drive includes a drive motor and shaft for driving the levers about separate spaced axes for effecting the drive of the linkage system.
