Abstract
The invention relates to a control device for a convertible vehicle roof comprising several rear (), intermediary () and front () rigid roof elements which can be moved between a closed position and a storage position. Said rear (), intermediary () and front () elements are connected to each other and to the body in such a way as to pivot around three fulcrum pins (A, A, A). The inventive device comprises co-ordinating means () which are used to co-ordinate the pivot movements around said pins (A, A, A). The invention is characterised in that the co-ordinating means () are disposed such that the combined movement thereof enables the intermediary element () to be inclined at a greater angle when said element is in the highest position thereof.
