Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A vehicle ventilating roof device or sunroof is provided. The complexities and costs of existing types of sun-roof are greatly reduced by this invention. A sliding reflective glass panel, located in tracks on the outside of the vehicle roof, is adapted to open or close a roof opening. A tubular seal fixed around the opening contacts the panel, when in the closed position, to seal the opening. A vacuum applied to the tubular seal flattens the tube to release it from contact with the panel. This allows the panel to slide to its open position.
The simplicity of the invention facilitates ease of installation into a vehicle whilst minimizing costs.

10659z2 valve being able to communicate said tubular member with the atmosphere or a vacuum line; a pair of tracks adapted to be mounted longitudinally of said vehicle, one of said tracks on either side of said opening and extending beyond said opening at least as far as required to permit a panel, which is adapted to be mounted to slide along said tracks, to slide from a first position in which said panel fully closes said opening to a second position in which said panel substantially clears said opening, said panel being able to slide along said tracks only when said valve communicates said tubular member with said vacuum line to apply a vacuum to said member which causes said member to flatten and release its contact with said panel, and when said valve communicates said member with the atmosphere the member relaxes to resume its tubular shape and contact said panel.
Preferably the valve is located on the dashboard of the vehicle, and said vacuum line is connected into the vacuum line of the engine of the motor vehicle.
The invention will now be described by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a vehicle roof embodying the invention;
FIGURE 2 is a view of the section 2-2 of Fi~ure 1, wherein the seal is contacting the panel;
FIGURE 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 except the seal is not contacting the panel; and FIGURE 4 is a sectional view similar to Figure 2, however, an exit passage from the tubular member 18 is provided along with a three way valve.
As shown in Figure 1 an opening 11 is made in the roof 10 of the vehicle. The opening is usually located above the front seats of the vehicle and a suitable distance behind the front windscreen 15.
A plastics coated metal frame 17 incorporating an angle section is located around the perimeter of the opening 11 such that one arm 17' intrudes into the opening 11, whilst the other arm 17" rests on the outside A
lQ659Z2 of the roof 10 (Figure 2~. The frame 17 strengthens the opening to make it rigid. A series of threaded studs 19 welded onto the underside of the arm 17" pass through holes drilled in the roof 10 and corresponding nuts 20 are wound onto the studs 19 pro~ruding through the roof, to hold a reinforcing plate 21 firmly against the underside of the roof 10. Also attached to the frame 17 is a tubular resilient sealing member such as a hollow rubber tube 18. The rubber tube 18 completely surrounds the opening 11 and has its only outlet 34 through the frame arm 17". The outlet of the tube 18 is communica-ted, by means of a hollow line 30, which is relatively incompressible com-pared to the tube 18, with a three way valve 33 mounted on the dashboard of the vehicle. The three way valve 33 communicates the hollow line 30 from the tube 18 with either the atmosphere through tube 32 or a vacuum line 31. The vacuum line 31 is a hollow tube from the valve to a suitable low pressure point of the engine, such as the inlet manifold or the tube between the inlet manifold and the vacuum brake booster system of the vehicle's engine.
Thus when the valve 31 interconnects the line 30 from the tube ; 18 and the vacuum line 31, a vacuum is applied to the tube 18. This flattens the tube 18 as shown in Figure 3. If the valve is then switched to connect the line 30 from the tube 18 to the atmosphere, the tube 18 will resume its normal shape as shown in Figure 2, due to its natural resiliency.
; The three way valve comprises a cylindrical body having one end closed and a movable member 36 mounted therein. Movable member 36 is urged by spring 37 so as to communicate the line 30 with the atmosphere through out-let 32, in the rest position of the valve. By pushing the member 36 against the spring 37 the COmmunicatiGn section defined by the channels 38 and 39 will communicate the line 30 with the vacuum line 31 thus allowing the tube 18 to be flattened.
Extending along either side of the roof 10 is a channel-shaped track 12. The tracks 12 are rivetted to the roof 10, or may be attached to the frame 17. They retain the panel 13 and allow it to slide from a first position which closes off, or covers, the opening 11 to a second position, as shown in Figure 1, wherein the opening 11 is substantially uncovered.

T-piece handle 25 affixed near the front edge of the panel 13 provides suita~le means to manually slide the panel 13. The handle 25 can also pivot to interlock with a latch (not shown) located inside the roof at the front of the opening 11, to lock the panel closed.
A wind deflector 14 is located across the front of the A 3a -1~)6S9Z2 apparatus and provide~ a ~u~iciont cavity into which the fro~t ~dgs of the panel 13 intrudes when it cover~ th~ op~ing 11.
Additionally tho tracks 12 may al~o run across th~ vehicl in front o~ the op~ni~g 11, to rec~ive the front ~dg of the pan l 13 .
