ABSTRACT:
A folding roof for vehicles, especially passenger motor vehicles, is detachably secured at a windshield frame and at a roll bar bridging the passenger space and is essentially composed of laterally disposed longitudinally extending girders, of a plurality of struts arranged between the longitudinal girders extending generally parallel to the girders and a flexible roof covering, connected to and supported by the longitudinal girders and the struts.
In order to create a folding roof which, with lowest possible weight, has a high form rigidity, i.e., strength, and which when folded-together requires as low as possible a structural height and which is also utilizable more individually, alternately form-rigid struts and elastic struts are arranged to extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in such a manner that nonreinforced sections of the covering between the struts are minimized.
