This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17870229 titled 'DOOR CONNECTION STRUCTURE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a door connection structure for vehicles that includes a door guide, a door hinge arm, a door hinge, a first catcher, and a center striker.
- The door guide is responsible for guiding the door in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body.
- The door hinge arm is mounted on the vehicle body and allows the door to rotate around the hinge rotation shaft when sliding.
- The door hinge is rotatably mounted around the door rotation shaft and connects the door to the hinge arm.
- The first catcher is rotatably mounted on the door hinge arm and has a center striker guide formed on it.
- The center striker is inserted into the center striker guide to rotate the first catcher and limit its rotation when the door swings around the door rotation shaft.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Automotive industry: This door connection structure can be used in various types of vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and SUVs.
- Transportation industry: The structure can also be applied to other types of vehicles, such as buses, trains, and airplanes.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved door functionality: The structure allows for smooth sliding and swinging of the door, enhancing the overall user experience.
- Enhanced safety: The center striker and first catcher mechanism ensures that the door swings around the correct axis, reducing the risk of accidents or damage.
Benefits of this technology:
- Simplified design: The structure provides a simplified and efficient solution for connecting doors to vehicle bodies.
- Improved durability: The use of sturdy materials and precise construction ensures the longevity and reliability of the door connection.
- Enhanced user experience: The smooth sliding and swinging motion of the door, along with the secure locking mechanism, provides a convenient and safe experience for vehicle occupants.
