ABSTRACT:
A partial stiffening of a covering of a folding top is provided by a wide tension-belt element which is stretched between two supporting structure members of the folding top and which, extending underneath the stretched folding-top covering, bears supportively against the folding-top covering on the wide side. The tension-belt element can be used for stiffening a zone of the folding-top covering curved transversely relative to its longitudinal extension, the side of the tension-belt element facing the folding-top covering has, at two spaced supporting locations, a contour matched to the intended transverse curvature of the folding-top covering. Supporting forces are transmitted by a spring prestress directed towards the folding-top covering.
