Abstract
A wind deflector for sliding roofs, especially for use on automobiles, comprises a wind deflector plate (3) mounted pivotally on the forward roof frame cross-member. Two extend arms (4, 5) are pivotally attached at the two outer ends of the wind deflector plate. These arms are pivotally journaled on the roof frame longitudinal members. Also included is a device (11) which acts on the wind deflector plate for the pivoting path length compensation and rod-shaped extend springs (13) which are provided on each extend arm and are effective between the extend arms and the roof frame longitudinal member adjacent to each extend arm for the purpose of pivoting out the extend arms and wind deflector plate when the sliding cover is opened and for pivoting in the extend arms and the wind deflector plate by running the sliding cover onto the extend arms when the sliding cover is closed. The extend springs (13) are of circular cross section, prestressed and slidably bear from below with their free end (24) into the extend arms (4, 5). The other ends of the extend springs are fixed to bearing block (17) which are fixed to the frame longitudinal members (6, 7) for the extend arms (4, 5).
