A sliding roof system for a motor vehicle comprises a front lifting mechanism and a rear lifting mechanism which are assigned to a front and a rear edge respectively of a cover of the sliding roof system, as well as a connecting element which is arranged between the front and the rear lifting mechanisms. The rear lifting mechanism includes a lifting carriage with at least one lifting slotted guide, a lifting lever which is pivotably attached with one end to a fixed bearing and the other end of which has a guide element for the cover, and a translating lever which is pivotably connected to the lifting lever between its ends, wherein the translating lever is coupled to the lifting carriage by means of two sliders.

A wind deflector for a sliding roof system has a pivotable upper bracket in the raised state of the wind deflector, a pivotable lower bracket in the raised state of the wind deflector, a first elastic raising element, and a flow deflecting part which is fastened to central webs of the brackets and bridges the space between the central webs in the raised state of the wind deflector. The flow deflecting part extends obliquely upwards and opposite to the direction of travel between the central webs. The first elastic raising element is associated with the upper bracket and is configured to urge the upper bracket into the pivoted-up position. A sliding roof system is furthermore shown.

A slider unit for a roof system of a motor vehicle has a slide body and a mounting unit which has a recess in which the slide body is accommodated. The slide body is mounted in the mounting unit such that, relative to the mounting unit, the slide body is movable in at least two directions in each case limited to a predefined distance and/or is pivotable about two axes limited to a predefined angle.

A shading blind for a roof window of a motor vehicle having two guide rails, a roller blind element which has two lateral, flexible guide structures with which it is guided in the guide rails, and a receiving space for the roller blind element, the roller blind element being adjustable between an extended position in which it is largely located outside the receiving space, and a retracted position in which it is largely located in the receiving space, wherein the receiving space has a length which is approximately half of the adjustment path between the extended and the retracted positions, the height of the receiving space is such that when the roller blind element is deflected in the receiving space by approximately 180&#xb0;, the guide structures are only elastically deformed and a rear edge of the roller blind element is permanently attached in the receiving space.

A sliding roof system for a motor vehicle comprises a front lifting mechanism and a rear lifting mechanism which are assigned to a front and a rear edge respectively of a cover of the sliding roof system, as well as a connecting element which is arranged between the front and the rear lifting mechanisms. The connecting element is formed as a connecting plate which is displaceable transverse to its direction of extension and in its plane of extension between an actuation position and a catch position.

A sliding roof system for a motor vehicle comprises a front lifting mechanism and a rear lifting mechanism which are assigned to a front and a rear edge respectively of a cover of the sliding roof system, wherein the front lifting mechanism has a guide rail with a lifting slotted guide for a cover-side lifting slider as well as a controlling carriage which is displaceable along the guide rail in order to control the movement of the cover. The controlling carriage has a controlling slotted guide for a cover-side controlling slider, and the controlling slotted guide is provided in a slotted guide component which is pivotably attached to the controlling carriage.

A motor vehicle sliding roof system for shifting a cover from a closed position to an open position has at least one guide rail, a carriage that is displaceable in the guide rail, a lifting mechanism that controls a displacement of the front edge of the cover, a raising mechanism that controls a displacement of the rear edge of the cover, and a transfer mechanism adapted to transfer a displacement of the carriage to the raising mechanism. The lifting mechanism, the raising mechanism and the transfer mechanism have a modular structure.

Sliding roof system

A guide rail for a sliding roof system in a motor vehicle includes a first rail element and a second rail element rigidly connected to the first rail element. A guide track extends without interruption over the first and second rail elements. The first and second rail elements include abutment edges that face each other. The abutment edges run in a generally straight line to form an acute angle relative to a longitudinal direction of the guide rail.

A guide system for a roller blind of a sliding roof system has a guide rail and a slider that is fixed on the roller blind. The slider is accommodated in the guide rail such that the slider is displaceable in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle and carries the roller blind. A pretensioning device is arranged between the guide rail and the slider. The pretensioning device presses the slider outwards transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in order to tension the roller blind.

A wind deflector mechanism for a vehicle sliding roof system includes a wind deflector lever attached to a wind deflector element. The wind deflector lever is attachable to a vehicle and can be swiveled between a home position and a raised position. A raising lever is coupled to the wind deflector lever and swivels the wind deflector lever between the home position and the raised position. A raising spring acts upon the raising lever substantially in such a manner that the raising lever biases the wind deflector lever toward the raised position.

A roller blind system for a sliding roof includes a guide rail and a spring steel band that is guided in the guide rail in sections. The spring steel band has an end that is situated outside the guide rail, and which contracts to a coil. A roller blind is attached to the spring steel band, and a compensation spring is provided.

A sliding roof system for a motor vehicle includes at least one guide rail, at least one guide carriage movably received in the guide rail, and a cover support that can be shifted relative to the guide rail. The cover support is connected with the guide carriage through two slotted guides and is connected with the guide rail through one slotted guide.

A foamed vehicle component has a foamed main component and an insert. The insert serves as a fastening element and is embedded in the foamed main component by foaming. The insert, in a portion embedded in the foamed main component, is surrounded at least in sections by an elastic intermediate component. Pliability of the elastic intermediate component is larger than that of the foamed main component, so that the insert is resiliently supported in the foamed main component.

The invention relates to a window blind for a sliding roof system includes a flexible material and two flat spiral springs that extend along the longitudinal edges of the window blind. The flat spiral springs tend to contract into a spiral shape, winding the flexible material into a coil.

Window blind for a sliding roof system

A window blind for a sliding roof system having a flexible material and two guide elements extending along the longitudinal edges of the flexible material. The guide elements engage in a guide associated with a corresponding longitudinal edge. The guide element is a flat strip that is fastened to a longitudinal edge of the flexible material so that it can be wound up together with the window blind.
