Swivellable sliding roof which can be inserted into an opening of the roof structure of a vehicle and an associated lifting device

A swivellable sliding roof for a vehicle with a roof opening is proposed. The sliding roof comprises a housing which can be attached in the roof structure. A movable roof insert is displaceably held in the housing and can be moved between a closed position, an open position and a ventilation position in which it is partially open. The roof insert is connected to a drive motor and drive means which have drive belts and move the said roof insert between the individual positions. Guide rails for guiding the displacement movement of the roof insert are provided on the housing. In an exemplary embodiment, a first and a second lifting device for lowering and raising the roof insert are provided on opposite sides and each have a guide block which is held in the guide rail, a sliding element which is displaceably arranged in the guide block and a first and second lever which are swivellably connected to one another, the lifting device being movable between a folded position and extended position in order to lower and raise the roof insert. In order to limit the forward movement of the first lever a stop is provided which brings about a folding out of the first and second lever from the folded-together position into an extended or partially extended position. In a second exemplary embodiment of a lifting device a ... Original abstract incomplete.
