ABSTRACT:
An open roof construction for a vehicle having a roof opening (1), comprises a panel (3) movable between its closed position in the roof opening (1) and an upwardly tilted or backwardly slid opened position. For adjusting the panel (3), on at least one side a pull-and-push linkage (4) engages an adjusting mechanism (5) comprising a lifter (9) adjustable in height and displaceable in a stationary guide rail (6). The lifter (9) has an upper portion at least pivotally engaging the panel (3) by a transverse pivot shaft (30). At least a part (10, 11) of the lifter (9) is locked against a sliding motion either with respect to the pull-and-push means (4) or with respect to the stationary guide rail (6) by a locking cam (26) during part of the adjusting movement of the lifter (9). According to the invention the locking cam (26) is provided on a separate auxiliary element (13) engaging said part (10, 11) of the lifter (9). The auxiliary element (13) comprises a forcing guide (23, 25) controlled by the pull-and-push linkage (4), the forcing guide (23, 25) being adapted to move the auxiliary element (13) between a locking position and a releasing position.
