ABSTRACT:
A sliding-raisable roof of shallow construction of motor vehicles. The roof is rigid and is supported by a sliding roof case which is displaceable between at least two positions, one raised and one lowered normal position. Sliding blocks slidably disposed in guide rails form a displacement apparatus, one such apparatus being arranged on each side of the roof case. The roof top can be raised at its rear end into an exposed ventilating position by means of an exposure mechanism supported against rear sliding blocks. Two compression-resistant threaded cables and a single drive motor are used to drive the roof top and displace the sliding roof case. Each of the two threaded cables coact on one end with the displacement apparatus of the sliding roof case and on the other end with the roof top or its exposure mechanism. Free travel of one or the other end of the threaded cables is provided for alternatively driving the displacement apparatus of the sliding roof case and the exposure mechanism of the roof top.
