A shaft for manually guided lift vehicles and lift loaders provided with a driving mechanism has a steering head at the free end containing gripping handles for steering the vehicle and operating switches for the driving and lifting operations of the vehicle. The steering head comprises two cup elements which are detachably connected with one another. One cup element is fixedly connected with the shaft and serves as the supporting part for the second cup element at which the gripping handles as well as the operating switches are located.

An arrangement for fixing in position a top of a passenger motor vehicle includes a first member retained in position at the windshield frame which form-lockingly cooperates in the closed position of the top with a second member attached at the top. In order that this arrangement which has a simple construction with good functioning and which requires little structural space--as viewed in the vertical direction--, the first member is formed by an upwardly directed, transversely extending leg adjoining a recess which is surrounded by a downwardly open receiving section of the second member, whereby a web of the receiving section facing the windshield frame protrudes into the recess.

A transformable passenger motor vehicle with lateral doors and a passenger space is provided with a one-piece form-rigid covering that extends approximately at the height of the belt line of the open body and with the exception of a longitudinal cut-out for the driver closes the entire passenger space, whereby at least a forward and lateral partial area of the cut-out is surrounded by a window shield having a slight height. In order that the covering exhibits a good functioning combined with a simple construction and permits a comfortable egress from and ingress into the passenger space, the covering made of plastic material is pivotally supported at the body under interposition of two four-jointed hinges. For fixing the covering in its closed position, disengageable latching mechanisms interacting with windshield wiper mounting shafts are provided between the covering and the body.
