48 of 49 people found the following review helpfulWe don't like the new formula
I first tried this canned food at the recommendation of a local pet care/store. They gave it very high recommendations and so I have tried both the dry and wet. My three cats liked the wet. So I did the economical thing and putchased a whole case of 24 on Amazon. but I noticed the difference as soon as I opened the can. The NEW wet food is not the same!! It's like they have cut the actual food in half and then doubled up on the gravyI went back to the local store and they had a few of the older recipes and I I bought all they had.Cans that are marked with a thin green band with the words "New Formula with Increased Flavor" are inferior.
21 of 22 people found the following review helpfulChanged their preparation - consistency issues?
A. Faust
UPDATE (12/3/2011): The food in the last case that I bought was substantially different from previous cases. The pieces were much thicker and of a tougher consistency. Because of this, my cat was only licking up the gravy, picking at a few pieces, and leaving the rest in the dish. I don't know if it was more difficult to eat or less palatable, but I ended up having to donate the rest of the cans to an animal shelter. Because of the wide variation in preparation, I had to stop buying this food for Moxie.ORIGINAL: My cat goes crazy for this wet food. When he was younger (about 7 months ago), I tried to give him the same brand dry food supplemented with this wet food, but we had vomit problems with the wet food. When I re-introduced this wet food about a month ago because I was concerned about only giving him dry food, it was like night and day. He gobbles it all up every day, and there have been no vomit issues whatsoever. He knows that morning time is when he gets his morsels, and he sits in the middle of the kitchen and cries until I give it to him.I like that this food comes in larger chunks rather than tiny shredded pieces. It reduces the mess the cat makes in and around his bowl. I also like that there are few artificial ingredients, just like the same version dry food. The cans are only 3 ounces each, which is small if this were the only food you're feeding your cat, but for our purposes of half a can supplement a day, it's perfect. I just feed half a can and put the other half in the fridge for the next day.

I have a cat that throws up whenever she eats food with grain, and she's 17 years old. I noticed her getting thinner, and so I have been supplementing her dry food with this, and she LOVES it. She is a much healthier weight now, too.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpfulIngredients are Very Good, and My Cats Like It
I mostly feed Blue Buffalo, and my cats have done very well with it. With rare exceptions, Blue Buffalo is the only kibble that I feed to my cats. However, my cats appreciate some variety in canned food so I look around for different quality foods that I can rotate into their feeding regimen. Among the things that I look for in any cat food are primary ingredients consisting of poultry, fish or meat, and an absence of corn, soy, wheat, or gluten of any kind. Two of my cats just turned twenty-two, a third will be twenty-two in a month, and a fourth is ten years of age, so I include canned food in their diet twice a day, to ensure proper hydration. While I rotate between the various Blue Buffalo canned food choices, I add other quality canned food choices to the diet plan, as well. My cats are satisfied with the same kibble day after day, but they get bored with the same canned food more than a couple of days in a row.The Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain Feline Formula in Gravy was well received by all four of my cats, and I am very pleased with its ingredients. The ingredient list is my first test, and if I don't like the ingredients, my cats never get to taste the food. I happen to know that there are some pretty bad cat foods on the market that my cats will nevertheless like the taste of, so I don't leave everything up to an animal that is unable to read the ingredient list. The first ingredients are as follows: Salmon, fish broth, chicken broth, chicken liver, chicken, dried egg white, ocean fish, peas, modified potato starch, natural flavor, roasted salmon...I am always curious about listed ingredients such as "natural flavor" - natural flavor of what? But that strange ingredient is listed tenth from the top, so there's probably not very much of whatever it is.Read more ›
5 of 6 people found the following review helpfulMy cats don't like the new formula
I have purchased cans of the old formula in the past, but my cats won't touch this stuff. They don't care for it at all, even if I mix it in other wet food they like. This new formula=no good.
11 of 15 people found the following review helpfulCats in my vicinity hate this stuff
Not only will my eight cats not go near this stuff, neither will the neighbor's cats or strays in the neighborhood. It seems they like to lick off the gravy and leave the rest. The possum finally ate it, but only after hesitation. I don't know what it is about this product or its dry counterpart, but my cats would rather starve. Will not be buying either again.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulThe cure for my wife's cat vomiting on my carpets
Christopher Montville
I'm not a cat person, but I love my wife dearly, and she came with two cats.One of them started vomiting all over the carpet on a pretty regular basis. It turns out that she was refusing to eat her dry food, and mostly refusing to eat store-bought wet food. She was diagnosed with, and treated for, fatty liver. Thankfully restored to full health, this is the only cat food that she'll eat without throwing up.Our carpets have since remained (mostly) spotless, and domestic tranquility maintained. Expensive, but worth it. They carry this non-cat-lover's seal of approval.
Great Food, Yet Our Cats Hated It
Honestly, this is great food. High quality and all natural. That's why it got 3 stars. The only reason I took 2 stars off is because my cat nor my sisters would eat it.

I've got a 16 year old cat who has eaten all types of food throughout her life. She's an enthusiastic and non-picky eater: wet, dry, cheap, expensive.

My cat Lulu liked it. She passed away so will not be ordering again. I sure miss her. She was my sidekick.
The food saved my 18 year old cat.
Cats are notoriously picky and very different from each other. My Rudi was rejecting all foods and getting terribly thin. At first I thought is was the aging process.

This is one of the best wet foods for cats - very close to what they would naturally eat in the wild. Highly recommended.

My cat loves it. The only problem is that it is pretty expensive compared to other cat foods. That is the only bad thing about it.

We just switched our cats to this from Fancy Feast, which they began rejecting. Our local pet store said it was a quality food and that it had been getting good reviews.

ios4 - Web View is not reloading every time in iPad web view? - Stack Overflow
Web View is not reloading every time in iPad web view?
First thanks in advance to have a look on my issue. My issue is my am developing webview based application. It's same like as browser but i have a issue related to reload web view. When i am getting a value form popover bookmarked and try to reload the current web view from this next bookmark url, my web view do noting. I am stuck in this issue. Although when i enter any url through it works perfectly. May i doing something wrong with web view ?
temp = appDeleg.strURLFromPopover;
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:temp];
[self.myWebView loadRequest:requestObj];
ipad ios4 share|improve this question asked Jan 27 '12 at 11:26
The last line looks like very suspicious. In my experience, [self.view addSubview:myWebView] should be placed in the "initialization block" to avoid some lazy init issues. Are you sure All objects are NOT nil? if so, you can try to set UIWebView's delegate to your class, and debug in each method to test if your object are properly initialized. I tried your code, work fine in my side. Below are delegate method you might consider about

Hi i have updated it again in - webViewDidFinishLoad... but not working. But when i enter the url through textbox it works fine every time.
What you mean by "through textbox"? if you just use UIWebView, it doesn't have textbox. or you are using some framework or 3rd party code?
I mean put a text box for user interaction and the text fill by user will be responsible for webview reloading... like browser. What's u do in browsers. Just type url in textbox and press go button.
If textbox works fine but first load is not.the causes should be there are some objects are nil, or if you can see you data is loaded in - webViewDidFinishLoad. You may need to call [view setNeedsDisplay].
BTW, check out FlatWebView and SVWebViewController

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority from co-pending U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 60/199,741 entitled Method and System for Speech Recognition of the Alphabet, filed Apr. 25, 2001.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to Speech Recognition of the Alphabet. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Speech recognition is becoming increasingly popular in telephone use, particularly due to the fact that it enables hands-free usage of the phone. Speech comes naturally to most people who do not have to learn new tasks in order to give speech commands. In general, speech recognition involves the ability to match a voice pattern against a provided or acquired vocabulary. Usually, a limited vocabulary is provided with a product and the user can record additional words. More sophisticated software has the ability to accept natural speech, i.e. speech as persons usually speak rather than carefully-spoken speech. [0004] Speech recognition systems typically fall into two categories, namely speaker-dependent systems and speaker-independent systems. Speaker dependent systems need to recognize speech spoken by predetermined individual voices and thus require users to articulate speech samples into the system. Speaker-independent systems do not require individual speech samples and are typically capable of recognizing a finite number of words and digits, such as credit card details. [0005] Voice recognition applications can typically be categorized into three different types. Firstly there are Command applications, which are capable of recognizing a few words and can identify a correct word through a process of elimination. This type of application is the least demanding on a computer. Discrete voice recognition systems can be used for dictation, but require a user to leave a pause between each spoken word. Continuous voice recognition can understand natural speech without the need for pauses. This type of application is the most demanding on a processor. [0006] Successful speech recognition has the potential of automating basic services. One such service is telephone directory assistance. U.S. Pat. No. 5,638,425 entitled “Automated directory assistance system using word recognition and phoneme processing method” presents a system, which provides one such service. Another approach to speaker independent voice recognition of the alphabet is presented in U.S. Pat. No. 5,621,857 entitled “Method and system for identifying and recognizing speech.”
[0007] The aforementioned systems still have difficulty in recognizing individual letters of the alphabet. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,638,425 states as follows: “The system also includes provision for DTMF keyboard input in aid of the spelling procedure.” From which one can infer that the user may be in need of aid. [0008] One of the difficulties involved in recognition of the spoken alphabet is that many letters sound identical, especially when spoken via a telephone or other such low quality audio device. For example, the letter ‘E’ and the letters ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’ and ‘V’ all contain an ‘ee’ sound and are often confused when heard over the telephone. [0009] There are various approaches to addressing the problem of acoustic confusability. One can define certain rules relating to word sequences or define contexts or develop a. personalized dictionary, containing words with confusable letters. [0010] U.S. Pat. No. 6,182,039 entitled “Method and apparatus using probabilistic language model based on confusable sets for speech recognition” takes a different approach to the problem, by embedding knowledge of acoustic confusability directly into a recognizer. The invention proposes a core speech recognition solution to the problem of acoustic confusability. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0011] The present invention seeks to provide a system and a method for speech recognition of letters of an alphabet. [0012] There is thus provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for speech recognition of an alphabet including receiving an audio input including at least one letter of an alphabet and at least one word, recognizing the at least one letter of an alphabet and the at least one word in the audio input and mapping the at least one word to the at least one letter. [0013] There is additionally provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention a method for speech recognition of an alphabet including receiving an audio input including at least one target word made up of a plurality of letters in an alphabet and at least one auxiliary word corresponding to each of the plurality of letters, recognizing the plurality of auxiliary words in the audio input, mapping each of the plurality of auxiliary words to a corresponding one of the plurality of letters and composing the target word from the plurality of letters. [0014] There is additionally provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention a system for speech recognition of an alphabet including a receiver, receiving an audio input including at least one letter of an alphabet and at least one word, a recognizer, recognizing the at least one letter of an alphabet and the at least one word in the audio input and a mapper, mapping the at least one word to the at least one letter. [0015] Further in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention there is provided a system for speech recognition of an alphabet including a receiver, receiving an audio input including at least one target word made up of a plurality of letters in an alphabet and at least one auxiliary word corresponding to each of the plurality of letters, a recognizer, recognizing the plurality of auxiliary words in the audio input, a mapper, mapping each of the plurality of auxiliary words to a corresponding one of the plurality of letters and a target word generator composing the target word from the plurality of letters. [0016] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the audio input is received via a telephone. [0017] Preferably, the audio input is received via a microphone. [0018] In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the at least one word is selected from a set of names such as names of persons or fruits. [0019] Preferably the system and methodology also provide an audio feedback of letters of an alphabet to which recognized words are mapped. [0020] In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system and methodology also combines a plurality of the at least one letters into a target word. [0021] Additionally in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system and methodology also annunciates the target word to a user. In one embodiment of the present invention, this annunciation takes place prior to mapping of all of the letters making up the target word. [0022] Preferably, the mapping includes matching the first letter of the at least one word to the at least one letter.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0023] The present invention will be more fully understood and appreciated from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the following drawing in which: [0024] [0024]FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a system for speech recognition of letters of an alphabet; [0025] [0025]FIG. 2 is a simplified flow chart, illustrating a process useful in speech recognition of an alphabet in a system of the type shown in FIG. 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0026] The present invention proposes a method and system for automated speech recognition of letters of an alphabet. The system is designed to map easily recognized words in common usage, such as names, to letters. Mapping such words to letters actively improves the statistical differences in the features of speech extracted by the speech recognition engine. [0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, a user wishing to spell a target word speaks a set of words, each corresponding to a different letter of the target word. For example, should a user wish to spell out the name ‘KELLY’ the user might say the following set of words: Kangaroo, Elephant, Llama, Llama, Yak. The system would respond with the letters: ‘K’, ‘E’, ‘L’, ‘L’, ‘Y’. [0028] Reference is now made to FIGS. 1 and 2, which illustrate the structure and operation of a preferred embodiment of the present invention which recognizes a target word, made up of letters of an alphabet, each of which corresponds to an auxiliary word. The auxiliary word is preferably an easily recognized word which is in common usage, such as the name of a person or an object. [0029] A user preferably contacts a Interactive Voice Response Unit (IVR) computer 100 and speaks a first auxiliary word. The IVR listens to the first auxiliary word and supplies it to an Automatic Speech Recognition Unit (ASR) 110. The ASR analyzes the word and recognizes the spoken word. An alphabet mapping module 120 maps the auxiliary word thus recognized to a letter of an alphabet. [0030] The foregoing functionality is repeated for each spoken auxiliary word, preferably in the order that the auxiliary words are spoken. [0031] As an alternative, the target word may also be spoken. [0032] Optionally, as each letter is mapped, that letter may be spoken to the user by the IVR 100. [0033] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the employs a POTS telephone 130 for interaction with the system functionality. The IVR 100 answers a telephone call from the telephone 130 and typically recommends to the user the use of a word group/vocabulary, such as ‘Names of People.’ The system then conducts a session with the user in which the user speaks, an auxiliary word, here typically the name of a person, that begins with the first letter of the target word. The system recognizes the auxiliary word and typically responds with the first letter of the target word. [0034] Thus a user might say the auxiliary word ‘Tom’ and the system would respond with the letter ‘T’. [0035] The user then speaks the name of a person that begins with the second letter of the target word and the system recognizes that name and identifies the second letter of the target word. The functionality continues in a similar manner until all of the letters of the target word have thus been identified. [0036] Alternatively, even before all of the letters of the target word have been identified, the system may identify the target word and may annunciate it to the user via the IVR . [0037] It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited by what has been particularly shown and described hereinabove. Rather the present invention includes combinations and subcombinations of the various features described hereinabove as well as modifications and extensions thereof which would occur to a person skilled in the art and which do not fall within the prior art.

US 4883311 AAbstract
Sliding and lifting roof for vehicles having a cover which, in its closed position, closes a roof opening in a fixed roof surface, which cover is mounted on lateral guide tracks and which can be pivotally raised to bring its rear end above the fixed roof surface, or after lowering of its rear end, can be rearwardly retracted below the fixed roof surface. A rain gutter that is displaceable in conjunction with the sliding movements of the cover underlies the rear edge of the roof opening when the cover is upwardly raised or closed, and is connected with a tilt assembly which induces the rain gutter to assume an inclined position when the cover is extended. The tilt assembly has control levers which are rigidly connected with the rain gutter and are pivotably connected to the cover at a fixed point. The rain gutter is pivotably connected at both sides to sliding elements which are displaceable along the guide tracks and which determine a pivot axis for the rain gutter, this pivot axis being disposed rearwardly of the rain gutter at a fixed distance above the guide tracks that is selected with respect to the pivotal points of the control levers such that, during the roof installation, a roof headliner can be slipped below the rain gutter from the rear.

The invention relates to a sliding and lifting roof for vehicles, having a rigid cover which, in its closed position, closes a roof opening in a fixed roof surface, which cover is mounted on guide tracks extending parallel to the side edges of the roof opening, and which, selectively, can be tiltably raised so that its rear edge is disposed above the fixed roof surface, or can be slidably displaced along the guide tracks by a lowering of its rear end below the fixed roof surface. In particular, the invention relates to such a roof wherein said roof is also provided with a rain gutter which underlies the rear edge of the roof opening, whether the cover is raised or closed, by virtue of the rain gutter being connected with a tilt assembly which, in the cover's raised position, causes the rain gutter to assume an inclined position in which its forward edge is elevated, the tilt assembly having a control lever at each side of the roof opening that are fixedly connected with the rain gutter in the area of the rearward ends of the levers and are pivotably attached to the cover in the area of their forward ends at a fixed point which is closer to the rear edge of the cover than the forward edge thereof.
In a sliding and lifting roof of this kind, as is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,664,439, the rain gutter is supported by cam followers which are fixedly connected to a lower rearward portion of the rain gutter and each of which ride on a cam portion of a guide element having an inclined surface, whereby the cam followers, simultaneously, form pivot supports for the tilting movements of the rain gutter when the cover is raised from its closed position to its upwardly tilted position. The displacement of the cover is effected by a transport bridge, which slides below the rain gutter when the cover is raised. The cam surfaces, having inclined planes, necessitate some increase in the overall height of the sliding and lifting roof, causing a reduction of headroom. Furthermore, if a roof headlining, as is known, for instance, from the disclosure of U.S. Pat. No. 4,717,199, is to be installed, such is made relatively difficult by the presence of the transport bridge.
Another sliding and lifting roof that is equipped with a displaceable rain gutter is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,537,442. In the case of this arrangement, the rain gutter is articulated to guides of the cover by pivot arms so as to pivot about the same axis as the cover, or the gutter may be articulated to the cover by the pivot arms at a point which is raised and rearwardly displaced relative to the cover pivot axis. However, this arrangement presents the very problems that the roof of the first-mentioned patent was specifically designed to avoid.
German Offenlegungsschrift No. 35 32 104 and the corresponding U.S. Pat. No. 4,749,227 disclose a sliding and lifting roof in which both sides of the rain gutter are connected with slide elements that travel along the tracks which serve to guide the cover. However, in this arrangement the rain gutter is rigidly secured to the sliding elements. preventing the rain gutter from being tilted when the cover is raised.
The present invention, therefore, has a primary objective of further developing a sliding and lifting roof of the kind initially mentioned so as to produce a particularly flat construction that facilitates easy installation of the roof headlining.
This objective is achieved, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, by pivotably connecting the rain gutter to a sliding element on each side of the roof opening, and by making the sliding elements, likewise, slidably displaceable along the guide tracks and by having them provide a pivot axis for the rain gutter, which is located at a distance rearwardly of the rain gutter and which, relative to the guide tracks, is of a predetermined fixed vertical height above the guide tracks. This objective of the invention is further achieved in that the position of the pivot axis for the rain gutter and that of the hinge points of the control levers at the point where they are connected to the cover, are selected such that, when the roof is installed, a roof headlining to be connected with the cover can be slipped through below the rain gutter, from behind.
The sliding and lifting roof of the present invention permits a particularly flat construction, while still facilitating the installation of the roof lining. As a rule, such roof linings are provided at the car manufacturing plant, in various colors matched to the other interior appointments of the vehicle. Accordingly, the selection of the roof liners is only made at the assembly line of the manufacturer, with the result that such roof liners cannot be premounted together with the operating parts of the sliding and lifting roof. In the case of the sliding and lifting roof of the present invention, which dispenses with a transport bridge, the roof liner simply can be loosely applied to the rear portion of the sliding roof frame during the roof mounting process, and can subsequently be slipped in from behind, below the rain gutter.
A particularly uncomplicated construction is obtained when, in accordance with a further development of the invention, the rain gutter is pivotably connected with the sliding elements via lifting arms, that are rigidly secured to the rain gutter, and which project rearwardly therefrom, in the area of the ends of the lifting arms which are directed away from the rain gutter. This connection forms a pivotal axis which is vertically disposed between the guide tracks and the bottom of the rain gutter.
Advantageously, the sliding elements for the lifting arms are guided on the tracks via sliding surfaces formed by jaw-like sliders which are slipped over the sliding elements. Each of the sliding elements may have a pivot pin serving as the pivot of the pivotal connection to the rain gutter, being received in an opening of a pivot bearing formed on the lifting arms. After insertion, clips may be used to secure the pin within the pivot bearing of the respective lifting arm. A particularly flat roof structure is further facilitated when, in accordance with a further feature of the invention, the position of the pivot axis of the rain gutter and that of the hinge points of the Control levers at the joint where they are fixed to the cover are selected such that, when the rear end of the cover is lowered, relative to the angle of the gutter in the closed position of the cover, the rain gutter is also lowered, at least in the area of its forward edge.
FIG. 1 is an exploded, perspective view of the major components of a sliding and lifting roof in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a partial top view, on an enlarged scale, of one side of the displaceable rain gutter and of the associated guide element and tilt assembly of the roof of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 4 through 6 are sections taken along line IV--IV of FIG. 2 in three different positions of the cover and the displaceable rain gutter.
In accordance with FIG. 1, the sliding and lifting roof has a one-piece frame 14, preferably comprised of a molded material, such as a sheet molding compound (SMC). Frame 14 defines a frame opening 15 which, after installation of frame 14 in a vehicle, is aligned with a roof opening 16 of a fixed roof surface 17 (FIGS. 4 to 6). Frame 14 surrounds roof opening 16 and has a rearward portion 18 that is located below the fixed roof area 17 so as to form a cavity 19 rearward of the roof opening 16, in the vehicle longitudinal direction. A rigid cover 20, which is supported by frame 14, serves to close and at least partially expose roof opening 16. Cover 20 can be extended above the fixed roof surface 17 at its rear end 21 in a manner indicated in FIG. 6, or, alternatively, subsequent to lowering of its rear end portion 21, the cover 20 can be slidably retracted below the fixed roof surface 17 into cavity 19.
Frame 14, at its upper side, has a seal 22 which, during installation of the frame, is pressed against the fixed roof surface 17 from below. Adjacent to the roof portion having seal 22, there is a lower rain gutter 23 which collects water which may enter when the cover is extended or retracted. The water thus collected is led off in a conventional manner via drain pipes 24, which open into rain gutter 23. Rain gutter 23, in the area of lateral frame parts 25, is defined by an upwardly projecting frame formation 26 which, on the side adjacent rain gutter 23, has a horizontal guide surface 27 that is upwardly offset relative to the bottom of the rain gutter 23, and which adjoins a perpendicular guide surface 28. Guide surfaces 27 and 28, together with a cover rail 29 (which is placed upon frame formation 26), form a guide track 30 at each side of frame 14. These guide tracks 30 extend parallel to the side edges of roof opening 16.
Front sliders 31 are slidably guided in tracks 30 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Cover supports 32 are mounted to front sliders 31, and cover 20 is fixedly supported, in turn, on these cover support members 32. Moreover, slide shoe-like members of rear sliders 33 are pivotably secured to one end of a lever-like lifting member 34, and also travel in guide tracks 30. Lifting members 34 have a retaining bracket pin 35 projecting laterally outwardly therefrom which is slidably displaceably guided in a retaining bracket slot 36 of cover support 32.
Each of the rear sliders 33 is firmly connected with one end of an incompressible drive cable 37. The drive cables 37 extend from the rear sliders 33 along the lateral frame parts 25 to the front, where they are guided in a cable channel 38 of frame 14. Near the front end of lateral frame parts 25, drive cables 37 enter a guide tube 39, and at reference numeral 40 are connected with a drive element, not depicted in detail, but described in greater detail in German Offenlegungsschrift No. 35 32 104. As a result of the sliding movement of the rear sliders 33, a retaining bracket guide 41 of lifting members 34 engages a retaining bracket pin rigidly secured at the frame, which causes lifting members 34 to be tilted, as is disclosed in more detail in German Offenlegungsschrift No. 35 32 104 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,332,416. The tilting movement of lifting members 34 induces the cover supports 32 to execute a pivoting movement around an axis determined by the front sliders 31, whereby the front sliders 31 are resiliently deformed in a known manner.
Additionally, a rain gutter 42 is provided which coacts with the sliding movements of cover 20. Gutter 42 underlies the rear edge 43 of roof opening 16, when cover 20 is in the forward end position (FIGS. 4 through 6). At both sides of rain gutter 42, there is a receiving member 44 having a longitudinally directed, forwardly open, receiving channel 45 into which the rear end of a control lever 46 is inserted, thus providing a rigid connection between the control lever 46 and rain gutter 42. Control levers 46 are turned laterally inwardly at their front ends 47, and the lever ends 47 are pivotably supported in a bearing sleeve 48 which is molded to the cover support 32 near its rear end. Bearing sleeves 48 constitute pivot points which are fixedly connected to the cover and which are disposed closer to the rear end 21 of cover 20 than the forward cover end.
Sliding elements 49 are slidably guided along the lateral guide tracks 30, behind rear sliders 33. For this purpose, a jaw-like slider 50, which preferably is resilient, is mounted onto each of the two sliding elements 49, and provides a sliding surface for the sliding elements which engages slide track 30. Each of the slide elements 49 carries a pivot 51 which protrudes laterally inwardly. Each of the pivots 51 is inserted into an opening formed in a respective pivot bearing 52, which bearing is molded to the rearward end of supports 54. Supports 54 are rigidly connected with rain gutter 42, preferably as one piece, and project rearwardly away from the rain gutter (FIG. 2). The pivots 51, and the pivot bearing 52 cooperating therewith, determine a pivot axis 55 for the rain gutter 42, which axis is located at a distance rearward of the rain gutter 42 and has a vertical height which is predetermined and is at a distance above the guide tracks 30. As can be seen from FIG. 3, in particular, pivot axis 55 has a vertical height situated between that of the guide tracks 30 and of the floor of rain gutter 42.
The distance of the pivot axis 55 from the rain gutter 42 in cover sliding direction, and the distance of pivot axis 55 from guide track 30 in a vertical direction, as well as that of the pivot points of control levers 46 at cover supports 32, are selected such that, during the installation of the roof, a roof headliner 56 loosely placed onto the rearward portion 18 of frame 14 can be slid below rain gutter 42, even if the roof frame height is very low. In a subsequent step, roof liner 56 is connected with cover 20 in a manner not depicted in detail. A detailed description of a known suitable connection between roof liner 56 and cover 20 is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,717,199, which is incorporated herein by reference to the extent necessary to complete an understanding of this invention.
Moreover, care is taken that, when the rear end of cover 21 (FIG. 5) is lowered, rain gutter 42 is also lowered (relative to its state in the closed cover position) to a certain degree, at least in the area of its forward end 57 (FIG. 4), whereby additional space is gained for sliding back cover 20 below the fixed roof area 17 without increasing the roof construction height. When raising cover 20 (FIG. 6), rain gutter 42 swings around pivot axis 55 via control levers 46 to such a degree that the forward edge 57 of the rain gutter 42 is lifted above the rearward edge of roof opening 16, causing rain or wash water which may have accumulated on the fixed roof surface 17 to be caught by the rain gutter 42 when there is a sudden braking action of the vehicle.
