ABSTRACT:
A control of a linkage for a foldable top of motor vehicles which is pivotally mounted at brackets arranged in recesses; the linkage, in the folded-together condition of the roof is accommodated in a closed off top compartment; in the course of its unfolding operation, a roof column which begins to erect itself, displaces a curved fabric-retaining bar forming the rear termination of the top upwardly by way of an entrainment mechanism; the entrainment mechanism which is formed in the manner of a quadrilateral joint system consisting of guide members, a lever, a guide lever and fabric-retaining member, is movably supported at the bracket by way of the lever and the guide lever; a connecting lever thereby pivotally connects the quadrilateral joint system at the free end of the roof column.
