MECHANISM FOR GUIDING AND CONTROLLING THE OPENING AND CLOSING OF A SLIDING SIDE DOOR OF A MOTOR VEHICLE AND VEHICLE COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE DOOR PROVIDED WITH SUCH A MECHANISM

摘要

The invention relates to a mechanism for guiding and controlling the opening and closing of a sliding side door (1) of a motor vehicle, said mechanism including a guide rail (2) that is stationary relative to the vehicle body, a carriage (9) which connects the sliding door (1) and the stationary guide rail (2) and is used to guide the sliding movement of the door (1) relative to the guide rail (2), and a second guide rail (10) which is stationary relative to the door (1) and is designed to increase the total sliding travel of the door (1). The invention is characterized in that the mechanism includes means for: locking the door (1) in relation to the carriage (9) as said carriage (9) moves along the guide rail (2) that is stationary relative to the body; and unlocking the movement of the door (1) in relation to the carriage (9) at the end-of-travel of said carriage (9) on the guide rail (2) that is stationary relative to the body.
