Abstract
An opening roof for automobile vehicles comprises a pair of rails, carriages mobile in longitudinal translation in the rails, a pair of slides carrying a panel adapted to close or uncover an opening in the roof of the vehicle, a pair of front links and a pair of rear links. The links are linked to the carriages by a rotation member and to the slides by members moving in guide paths formed in the thickness of the slides. Movement of the front links is desynchronized with respect to movement of the rear links to tilt the panel and slide it over the top of the roof.
