Cable guide assembly for sliding vehicle doors.

摘要

A vehicle access door (12) is operatively mounted for powered fore and aft sliding movement between open and closed positions. A power module (14) disposed internally of the vehicle (10) has motor driven cable reels (22) mounted on a space frame having door pull cables (23,24) wound thereon routed by forward and rear cable guide assemblies (40,50) into operative connection with the access door (12). The rear cable guide assembly (50) is an adjustable two part guide pulley assembly (58,60) in which a first housing (62) is adjustably carried by the space frame and a second housing (75) is adjustably mounted on the first housing (62) so that the assembly can be subsequently fitted and attached to production vehicles having a wide build tolerance in the support structure for the power module (14) and the rear cable guide assembly (50). The adjustment provided by the rear cable guide assembly (50) assures high quality fits with good sealing of the pull cable access opening and positions the pull cable (24) in an external guide channel (98) to eliminate frictional wear between these components.
