ABSTRACT:
A locking device for convertible tops has a four-joint construction with a support frame connected to the roof, a handle, a joint bracket and a lever. At the extended end of the lever, a locking hook, which can be swiveled around an axis, is fastened. This locking device is modified so that a precise control of the locking hook, and with that, a convenient course of operations during the closing of the top becomes possible and, moreover, accident safety is improved. For this purpose, a connecting-link guidance and a spring, which exerts a torque on the hook, are provided for the locking hook.
