Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vervollkommnung des Klappverdecks für Kraftwagen gemäß Patent 554941 und bezweckt, das Verdeck selbsttätig aus der zusammengeklappten Lage in die Gebrauchslage zu bringen. Die Erfindung besteht darin, daß man unter Benutzung der in bekannter Weise unter Federwirkung selbsttätig sich aufstellenden Hauptverdeckstütze das gemeinsame Gelenk der beiden an dem ungeteilten Längsträger angeordneten Stangen durch eine Feder mit dem rückwärtigen Teile des Längsträgers verbindet. Dadurch wird erzielt, daß diese Feder beim Zusammenlegen des Klappverdecks gespannt wird und auf diese Weise in der Feder eine Kraft aufgespeichert wird, welche bei dem selbsttätigen Aufrichten der Hauptverdeckstütze die ungeteilten Längsträger unter Entfaltung des Verdeckstoffes in die Gebrauchslage bringt.The invention relates to an improvement of the folding top for motor vehicles according to patent 554941 and aims to bring the convertible top automatically from the folded position into the position of use. The invention consists in that one using the self-erecting in a known manner under spring action Main convertible top support the joint joint of the two on the undivided longitudinal member arranged rods by a spring with the rear parts of the longitudinal beam connects. This ensures that this spring when folding the folding top is tensioned and in this way a force is accumulated in the spring, which in the automatic straightening of the Main convertible top support the undivided side members while unfolding the convertible top material in brings the position of use.

In den Zeichnungen ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Klappverdecks Jn Seitenansicht dargestellt. Abb. I^zeigt das Klappverdeck bei entfaltetem Verdeckstoff, Abb. 2 eine Zwischenlage des Klappverdecks bei seiner Überführung in den zusammengelegten Zustand, Abb. 3 das Klappverdeck im zusammengelegten Zustande und Abb. 4 eine Zwischenlage des Klappverdecks beim selbsttätigen Entfalten des Verdeckstoffes.In the drawings, an embodiment of the folding top Jn is a side view shown. Fig. I ^ shows the folding top with the top fabric unfolded, Fig. 2 an intermediate layer the folding top when it is brought into the collapsed state, Fig. 3 the folding top in the folded state and Fig. 4 an intermediate layer of the folding top when the top fabric unfolds automatically.

Gemäß Patent 554 941 sind an den ungeteilten Längsträgern S die im Gelenk 12 verbundenen Stangen 3, 4 derart angeordnet, daß die Stange 3 am Längsträger selbst angelenkt ist, während die Stange 4 an dem Lenker 8 angelenkt ist, der einerseits mit dem Längsträger 5 bei 7, anderseits mit der umlegbaren Hauptverdeckstütze 10 bei 11 in gelenkiger Verbindung steht. According to patent 554 941, the rods 3, 4 connected in the joint 12 are arranged on the undivided longitudinal beams S in such a way that the rod 3 is articulated on the longitudinal beam itself, while the rod 4 is articulated on the link 8, which on the one hand with the longitudinal beam 5 at 7, on the other hand, is in an articulated connection with the foldable main convertible top support 10 at 11.

Die Hauptverdeckstütze 10 steht unter dem Einfluß einer Feder 13, welche das Bestreben hat, die Hauptverdeckstütae 10 aufzurichten und in aufrechter Lage zu erhalten.The main convertible top support 10 is under the Influence of a spring 13, which tends to erect the main top case 10 and to keep it in an upright position.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist das Gelenk 12 · mit dem rückwärtigen Teil des Längsträgers 5 durch eine Feder 14 verbunden. Zweckmäßig liegt die Gelenkstelle 7 außer Mitte des Längsträgers 5 mehr nach seinem rückwärtigen Ende zu.According to the invention, the joint is 12 connected to the rear part of the longitudinal member 5 by a spring 14. Appropriate is the hinge point 7 out of the middle of the side member 5 more to its rear End to.

Die Wirkungsweise dieser Vorrichtung ist nun leicht einzusehen. Beim Zusammenlegen des Klappverdecks werden die Federn 13, 14 gespannt. Wird nun eine Sperre, welche das Klappverdeck in der zusammengelegten Lage hält, z. B. ein in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellter Riemen o. dgl., gelöst, so richtet die Feder 13 die Hauptverdeckstütze ι ο auf, während sich gleichzeitig die Feder 14 zu entspan- flB nen beginnt und dadurch eine Drehung des ungeteilten Längsträgers in·der Richtung der in Abb. 4 eingezeichneten Pfeile um die Gelenkstelle 7 bis zur Erreichung der Gebrauchs-, lage verursacht. Hierbei treten zufolge der Anordnung der Gelenkstelle 7 außer Mitte des Längsträgers vorteilhaft durch das Übergewicht des äußeren Längsträgerteiles Beschleunigungskräfte auf.The operation of this device is now easy to see. When folding of the folding top, the springs 13, 14 are tensioned. Now becomes a lock, which the The folding top holds in the collapsed position, e.g. B. one not shown in the drawing Belt or the like, solved, so the spring 13 sets up the main convertible top support ι ο while at the same time the spring 14 relaxes nen begins and thereby a rotation of the undivided longitudinal member in · the direction of the in Fig. 4 drawn arrows around the joint 7 until the usage, situation caused. Here occur due to the arrangement of the hinge point 7 off the center of the Side member advantageous acceleration forces due to the preponderance of the outer side member part on.
