ABSTRACT:
An opening handle for a front-pivoted sunroof panel, comprises a shell 11 with transverse forward pivot axis 14 for attachment to the panel and transverse rearward axis 19 carrying a ratchet drum 29 with parallel arms 27 themselves defining a pivot axis 28 at their outer ends for attachment to the vehicle roof. A flexible panel plate 12 lies inside the shell 11 with a rear edge 25 lying as a detent in the ratchet. Well 24 defines a protrusion extending through the shell at 16. When the shell is pulled pivots 28,19 and 14 are all operative to open the panel; the ratchet 29 permits maintained stepwise opening. When the protrusion (well 24) is pressed the detent edge 25 is moved away from the ratchet, allowing rapid closure of the panel.
