SWING/SLIDING DOOR DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18370676 titled 'SWING/SLIDING DOOR DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
The patent application describes a swing and sliding door device for a vehicle that can selectively swing or slide to open or close an opening in the chassis cab.
- Doors are hingedly and rotatably connected to cab frames on the first and second side portions of the chassis cab.
- The doors can slide in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle along sliding rails on the upper or lower portions of the chassis cab, overlapping each other.
- A door frame is provided to be coupled to or decoupled from the end portion of the door.
- A door arm sliding assembly on the chassis cab is configured to be coupled to or decoupled from at least one of the doors, sliding along the sliding rail.
Potential Applications: - Transportation vehicles - Emergency vehicles - Recreational vehicles
Problems Solved: - Efficient use of space in vehicles - Easy access to the interior of the vehicle - Versatile door opening options
Benefits: - Space-saving design - Convenient access to the vehicle - Customizable door operation
Commercial Applications: The swing and sliding door device can be used in various commercial vehicles such as delivery trucks, mobile clinics, and utility vehicles, enhancing accessibility and functionality.
Questions about Swing and Sliding Door Device: 1. How does the swing and sliding door device improve the functionality of vehicles? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of implementing this door system in commercial vehicles?
Frequently Updated Research: Research on materials for durable and lightweight door components in vehicle applications is ongoing to enhance the performance of swing and sliding door devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A swing and sliding door device for a vehicle is provided at a lateral side of a chassis cab of a vehicle to selectively swing or slide and configured to open or close an opening formed in the chassis cab and includes doors hingedly and rotatably connected to cab frames, respectively, provided on a first side portion and a second side portion of the chassis cab, the doors being connected to be slidable in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle along sliding rails provided on at least one of upper and lower portions of the chassis cab so that the doors overlap each other, in which a door frame is provided at a position corresponding to the cab frame and configured to be coupled to or decoupled from an end portion of the door, and in which a door arm sliding assembly is provided on the upper or lower portion of the chassis cab and configured to be coupled to or decoupled from at least one of the doors, the door arm sliding assembly being slidable along the sliding rail.
