ABSTRACT:
A folding top for vehicles has a common pivoting drive of a main strut and of a roof-skin retaining bow via mechanical drive members, by means of which pivoting drive of the folding top can be transferred from a stowed position retracted into a top box into a closed position, in which the roof-skin retaining bow rests on the top-box lid located in a covering position thereof. An automatically controlled lock of the main strut relative to the vehicle body in its erected end position is provided and associated with its uncoupling from the driving movement of the drive members. For locking the main strut fixedly to the vehicle body, there are catch devices which are assigned to the top columns and the catching advance of the which starts only after the erected end position of the main strut has already been reached, and the uncoupling from the driving movement of the drive members is activated via the catching advance of the catch means only when the main strut has been locked.
