Vehicle side door assembly

摘要

A side door of a motorized vehicle is provided that includes, but is not limited to a latch mechanism being adapted to cooperate and to engage with a latch member disposed at a door frame. The side door assembly further has an actuator for unlatching the latch mechanism. Further, the latch mechanism and the actuator are mechanical interconnected by a coupling being adapted to transfer an unlatching motion from the actuator to the latch mechanism. Additionally, the side door assembly comprises an impact member that is adapted to at least locally deform the coupling in such a way that the arising deformation counteracts the unlatching motion.

1. A vehicle door of a motorized vehicle, comprising:
a latch mechanism configured to cooperate with a latch member disposed at a door frame; an actuator configured to unlatch the latch mechanism, the actuator being disposed at a distance from the latch mechanism; a coupling configured to mechanically couple the actuator and the latch mechanism and to transfer an unlatching motion from the actuator to the latch mechanism; and an impact member configured to deform the coupling in such a way that a deformation of the coupling is adapted to counteract the unlatching motion.
