Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2918440
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
In an automotive slide roof system comprising a slide roof panel which is capable of both tilting and sliding to provide two modes of opening a part of a fixed roof of a motor vehicle, each of the stays for the slide panel is provided with a cam slot including an inclined section which is adapted to tilt up a rear end portion of the slide panel as elevator links guided by guide rails are pushed forward from a fully closed state by push-pull cables, and lateral pins attached to the elevator links move forward inside the cam slots, and the elevator links are adapted to tilt forward as the elevator links are pulled rearward from the fully closed state of the slide panel by the push-pull cables, thereby lowering a rear end of the slide panel so as to allow the slide panel to be slid open without being interfered by a part of the fixed roof located behind the opening. Thus, the cam slots are used for tilting up the slide panel while the tiltable elevator links are used for lowering the rear end of the slide panel before sliding it rearward so that the vertical dimension of the overall mechanism can be minimized.
