Locking mechanism for open roof construction and open roof construction provided therewith

摘要

A locking mechanism for a movable member of an open roof construction for a vehicle comprises a stationary part which is provided with a first guide, a locking lever movable in a first direction for driving said movable member and for locking it in a predetermined position and an operating part movable in said first direction for controlling the movement of the locking lever. The locking lever comprises a first cam cooperating with the first guide, which first guide comprises a first guide part extending in a direction substantially in parallel to said first direction of movement of the locking lever and a second guide part connecting to said first guide part in a second direction and capable of receiving the first cam of the locking lever for preventing a further movement of the locking lever in said first direction. The operating part (which may comprise a second guide cooperating with a second cam provided on the locking lever), is capable of generating a force on the locking lever in/opposite the second direction when the operating part is moved in a first/second sense along said first direction, such that the first cam can move into/out of the locking second guide part of the first guide in said second direction.
