DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING APPARATUS FOR PREVENTION OF DOOR OPENING DURING COLLISION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520920 titled 'DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING APPARATUS FOR PREVENTION OF DOOR OPENING DURING COLLISION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a door opening and closing apparatus for a vehicle that prevents door opening during a collision.
- Operation member configured to open a door
- Blocking lever limits operation member during a collision
- Operation slot and blocking slot control movement of linkage member
- Linkage member moves from locking position to unlocking position
- Blocking lever rotation or movement blocks linkage member from reaching unlocking position
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in automotive safety systems to prevent doors from opening during collisions, reducing the risk of occupants being ejected from the vehicle.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of doors opening unexpectedly during a collision, which can lead to serious injuries or fatalities for vehicle occupants.
Benefits
- Enhanced safety for vehicle occupants - Prevention of ejection from the vehicle during a collision - Improved overall vehicle safety features
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be implemented by automotive manufacturers in new vehicle models to enhance safety features and comply with safety regulations.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of door locks or latches that automatically engage during a collision to prevent doors from opening.
Unanswered Questions
How does the blocking lever engage with the operation member during a collision?
The abstract does not provide specific details on the mechanism by which the blocking lever interacts with the operation member to prevent door opening during a collision.
What materials are used in the construction of the blocking lever and operation member?

Original Abstract Submitted
A door opening and closing apparatus for a vehicle that prevents door opening during a collision includes an operation member configured to operate to open a door; and a blocking lever engaged to the operation member and configured to limit the operating of the operation member during a collision of a vehicle, wherein the blocking lever includes an operation slot formed along a tracking path along which a linkage member operating the operation member and the blocking lever by linkage to each other is moved from a locking position to an unlocking position; and a blocking slot formed to branch off from the operation slot, wherein during the collision of the vehicle, the blocking lever is rotated or moved, and thus the linkage member is moved from the operation slot to the blocking slot, being blocked from reaching the unlocking position.
