SLIDING DOOR DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17885256 titled 'SLIDING DOOR DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a sliding door device for a vehicle that includes a door, a door arm, a lower slider, a lower arm plate, and a first rail. The door opens or closes a door opening in a vehicle body. The door arm is connected to the door and can move along the side sill of the vehicle body. The lower slider is coupled to the door arm and moves along the side sill. The lower arm plate connects the door arm and the lower slider and performs a cycloidal rotation and rectilinear movement when the lower slider moves along the side sill. The first rail provides a route for the lower arm plate to perform the cycloidal rotation and rectilinear movement.
- Door arm connects the door to the side sill of the vehicle body
