Abstract
An air guide device, which is suitable both for sliding roofs and for sliding-lifting roofs, comprises a wind deflector plate, pivotally journalled by hinge assemblies beneath a front, fixed automobile roof, the pivotal movements of which deflector plate are controlled by control members, displaceably driven by the drive system of the sliding lid, which control members for this purpose bear from above on control surfaces formed on the wind deflector plate. The control members do not release the control surfaces until, in the opening displacement of the sliding lid, the latter has opened sufficiently far for the wind deflector plate, subject to the action of springs acting in the upward pivoting direction, to pivot upwards beyond the automobile roof without striking the slid lid. In the reverse movement direction, the control members run onto the control surfaces before the sliding lid has reached its closure position and pivot the wind deflector plate against the force of the springs into the at-rest position of the air guide device.
