ABSTRACT:
Vehicle roof with plates to close or open a roof opening, in which the plates, in the closed position, form a panel of plates, and they are guided at each lateral side of the roof on two guides along guide devices fixed to the roof, so that the panel of plates, by pivoting individual plates, is released plate by plate when the roof is being opened or is restored when closing the roof. Slidable bearing units are provided along a common guide track in which, in each case, the rear guide of one of the plates and the forward guide of the next plate are supported and which thus, by the plates themselves or by plate carders, are interlocked with one another. The beating units are provided with a blocking device that is controlled depending on movement of the panel of plates and that releases the rear guide of the associated plate for a pivoting movement when the roof is being opened, or when the roof is being closed, interlocks with the bearing unit when the beating unit reaches a predetermined position with respect to the fixed guide device.
