Abstract (en)

A system to facilitate the opening and closure of an aperture such as a window, door, hatch or sunroof, closure of the aperture producing a weathertight seal, the system comprising: an aperture; a panel (10) for closing the aperture; a guide element (18) fixed proximate to the aperture; the guide element (18) defining a first direction of movement of the panel (10) from a first position in which it is juxtaposed with the aperture to a second position in which it is superposed with the aperture, and a second direction of movement of the panel (10) from the superposed position to a closed position in which the panel (10) seals the aperture; the panel (10) having one or more projections (13a and b) which slidingly engage the guide element (18); a sliding block (17), the sliding block being slidingly engaged with the guide element (18); the sliding block (17) being operably associated with at least one projection (13a) so as to urge the panel (10) from the juxtaposed position to the superposed position when the sliding block (17) is moved through a first range of movement in the first direction, and to urge the panel (10) from the superposed position to the closed position as the sliding block (17) is moved through a second, further range of movement, in the first direction.
