<p>#CMT# #/CMT# The device has a male part i.e. finger (10), mounted on an edge (4) of a sliding door (3), and a female part (20) mounted on an upright (2) of a body shell structure (1) of a motor vehicle. The female part receives the finger during closing of the door, and is formed by an annular passage (21) arranged in a ring (22). The passage is opened at each of its ends for guiding the finger, where covering length of the finger by the passage is comprised between 3 and 5 millimeters. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a motor vehicle comprising a sliding door centering device. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Device for centering a sliding door i.e. motorized sliding side door, of a motor vehicle (claimed). #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The female part is formed by the annular passage that is opened at each of its ends for guiding the finger, thus reducing centering force and sliding energy or force of the finger in the annular passage during closing of the door, so that the centering force is lesser than a triggering threshold of an anti-trap system for the door, and hence avoiding untimely triggering of the anti-trap system and reopening of the door. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic axial sectional view of a centering device before closing of a sliding door. 1 : Body shell structure 2 : Upright 3 : Sliding door 4 : Edge 10 : Finger 20 : Female part 21 : Annular passage 22 : Ring.</p> |
