ABSTRACT:
A pivotable rollover bar for motor vehicles, in particular for four-seater convertibles, which, bent in the shape of a U, surrounds the rear seating area of a passenger compartment in a lowered rest position. The rollover bar can be pivoted by a drive about lateral bearings on a vehicle body, about a transverse axis of the vehicle, into a raised operative position in which its crossbar spans the interior of the passenger compartment. The rollover bar is provided on its lateral limbs with a flattened portion on the side facing the interior of the passenger compartment, this flattened portion enlarging the interior or the passenger compartment at the sides of the seat. At least one supporting tube projects from the rollover bar towards the vehicle body, the supporting tube being displaceable together with the rollover bar and being guided in a guide in the vehicle body and positioned to take up forces in the transverse direction of the vehicle.
