ABSTRACT:
A tilt-sliding roof for a vehicle comprises a panel displaceable between a first position, in which a panel closes an opening provided in the fixed roof of the vehicle, and a second position, in which the panel opens the opening provided in the fixed roof of the vehicle at least for the greater part. The panel is further tiltable between the first closed position and a third position in which the panel is tilted at least partially from a vehicle. The tilt-sliding roof further comprises a screen which is displaceable between the first closed position and an open position, and a displacement mechanism with which, in operation, the screen is opened at least a predetermined distance if the panel is moved by this displacement mechanism into the third tilted position. The displacement mechanism includes a displaceable element, a first gear rack coupled to this displaceable element, a second gear rack coupled to the screen and a gear wheel cooperating with the first and second gear racks. The second gear rack comprises a first cam protruding towards the screen and is adapted to be engaged with a second cam protruding from the screen with which, in operation, the screen is opened at least said predetermined distance when the panel is moved to the third position.
