Abstract

A vertically adjustable roll bar for a motor vehicle is disclosed which has side arms displaceable within holding tubes rising vertically parallel to the vehicle sides. The holding tubes are connected to one another by a connecting element on the tube stems extending in the direction of the vehicle width. The holding tubes are supplemented by another transverse-running connecting element to form a rigid guide frame, which is rectangularly closed in the transverse direction of the vehicle.
