摘要

In a device for guiding a sliding side door (1) of an automobile, based on a V-shaped rod (21) with arms (23, 24) joined at the ends to devices (30, 35) sliding on upper and lower slides (11, 12) of a guide rail (10), the upper slide has a curved end (11a) displaced towards the vehicle interior and the upper sliding device is a carriage (30) with a horizontally axled supporting roller (31) and two vertically axled guiding rollers (32). A device for guiding a sliding side door (1) of an automobile between closed and open positions has an opening mechanism (20) with a V-shaped rod (21) joined to the door at the point (21a). The two arms (23, 24) of the rod are joined at the ends to devices (30, 35) sliding on respective upper and lower slides (11, 12) of a guide rail (10) extending along the vehicle. One of the slides has a curved end, displaced towards the vehicle interior at the end region of the closure. The novel features are that the curved end (11a) is secured on the upper slide (11); and the sliding device on the upper arm (23) is a carriage (30) with (a) a horizontally axled supporting roller (31) running on the upper slide and (b) two vertically axled guiding rollers (32) running on the flanges of the upper slide. Independent claims are included for: (1) an automobile sliding door equipped with the guiding system; and (2) an automobile having at least one of the sliding doors.
