ABSTRACT:
A latch (1) for a top of a vehicle comprises a latching hook (3) which is disposed in a guide plate (10), preferably having a U-shaped cross-section, to be movable from a closed position into an open position on a defined path (41) via guiding means (bolt8,pin9). A geared motor (4) is provided for pivoting a actuation lever (15) which is connected to the latching hook (3). The connection between the latching hook (3) and the actuation lever (15) is realized through several levers (11, 12, 13) which are connected to each other in an hinged fashion. The motor-driven latch for a top with compact space-saving structure, has a latching hook with a larger radius of motion to increase the separation from the windscreen frame in the open position.
