Slide and tilt mechanism for vehicle sun roof includes fixed frame and guide rails with motor=driven slide operating tilting and retracting mechanism

摘要

The roof closure panel (4) is mounted in the opening (2) in a fixed frame (3) which includes guide rails (5). The operating mechanisms on each side are driven by a slide connected by a pivot (8) to an arm (7) linked to slots in guide track arms (10,16) which when fully forward, tilt the panel (4) upwards to the ventilating position. As the slide pivot (8) moves rearwards, the panel drops to the closed position, and then to the lowered position before moving back under the fixed roof (1).
