Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19613356A1] The invention concerns a folding top (8) for a cabriolet, the folding top (8) comprising two roof frames (16, 17) extending along the longitudinal sides. Each of these roof frames is divided into three sections (18, 19, 21). The rear frame section (18) is connected via a hinge (23) to the bodywork and via a further hinge (24) to the centre frame section (19). The front frame section (21) is connected to the centre frame section (19) by means of a parallelogram steering arrangement (27) which is designed such that, when the front frame section (21) is opened, it is guided upwards onto the centre frame section (19) so that, even when the top is open, the headlining is not exposed.
