ABSTRACT:
In a sliding-lifting roof, in which a lid associated with a roof opening is pivotally mounted on an intermediate frame in the vicinity of its forward edge, apart from forward sliding elements, there is provided for the sliding guidance of the lid on lateral guide rails and driven rear sliding elements, guide carriages which are capable of being coupled to the rear sliding elements and are also guided on the guide rails, which are connected with the intermediate frame by link rods. The guide carriages and the link rods permit a lowering movement of the lid, by means of which, in spite of the use of an intermediate frame for the edge gap sealing, a small overall height is attained, because the lid is displaced in a parallel position and not in an inclined position beneath the fixed automobile roof. The pivotal movements of the lid are effected through two guide blocks which for this purpose engage with only one guide pin. a reliable holding of the lid is achieved in all pivoted positions of the lid.
