Definitions

• the present invention refers to a remotely control driving device for sliding- doors, particulary for mo vehicles and of the type which is slidable in guides betw and open position in which the door is located adjacent side of the vehicle and a closed position in which the d is located in an opening in the side of the vehicle flush with said side and where the swinging motion betw said position is guided by a swinging lever one end of wh is supported by a displaceable trolley and the opposite of which is pivotally connected to the sliding door.
• Sliding doors of the type which are displaceable between open position in which the door hangs in parallel with a adjacent the side of the vehicle and a closed position which the door is located in an opening in the vehicle si and lays flush with this are earlier known in sever different embodiments.
• Such doors are usually arranged slide in guides along the. vehicle side and at one su expedient arrangement the swinging motion of the door guided by a foldable shackle.
• the purpose of the present invention is to provide a we operating, simple and reliable remotely controlled drivi device for sliding doors of motor vehicles, which devi shall be space saving and which should be attachable insi existing cavities in the vehicle body. It shall also 5 designed thus that it can be operated manually.
• Figure 1 shows a section through the rearmost part of sliding door and an adjacent vehicle side wall, provid 5 with the driving device according to the invention and wi . the sliding door in a swinged out position
• Figure 2 is a corresponding view with the sliding door closed position
• Figures 3-5 show schematically use of the driving devi Q according to the invention during different stages of t opening movement
• Figure 6 shows a longitudial section through a pliab member forming part of the device according to t invention.
• Figure 7 is a view corresponding to figure 1 and showing a modified embodiment of the device according to the inventi Description of the embodiments
• the driving device incorpora an endless chain 1, which runs over two chain wheels 2 5 12 located at a distance from each other and recessed in vehicle side 3 with the axes of the chain wheels arran vertically.
• the chain drives a trolley 4 which rolls o guide 17 and attached to the trolley is one end of swinging lever 5 which is limited pivotable about a pi 10 shaft 6 fitted to the trolley 4 and which swinging lever with its opposite end is hingedly connected to a bracke about a shaft journal 7, which bracket projects from one of the sliding door 9 and runs mainly in the longitudi direction of the door.
• a link 18 of the endless chain 15 supports the end of a pliable actuation member 10, which the embodiment shown is a helically wound spring 19, wh at its opposite end is attached to an attachment 11 fit to the swinging lever 5.
• the movement of the trolley 4 limited in the left hand direction in figures 1 and 2 20 means of a stop 13.
• the trolley is further provided with carriage wheel 15, indented to run on said guide 17.
• Th type of door suspension and operation is earlier known a further described in Swedish patent specification 201 83
• a guiding track 14 In connection to the chain wheel 2 situated nearest to t 25 door opening there is arranged a guiding track 14, which • , concentric with and has a curvature which adapts itse mainly to the curvature of the chain part which is arrang around the chain wheel 2.
• the track 14 has an arc form cross section ⁇ and is slightly larger than the spring 30 which has a corresponding cross section.
• the trolley 4 is provided with an elongated stop portion which is adapted to cooperate with the driving chain 1 at position between the actuation member 10 and the drivi chain 1 preferably at an attachment link 18.
• Figure 1 shows the sliding door 9 during beginning of i opening whereby the chain 1 moves toward the right hand si according figure 1.
• the spring 19 due the fact that it for axial thrust acts as a rigid pushi member, urges the swinging lever 5 to the position shown figure 1, whereby the door leaf of the sliding door 9 influence of a spring 20 which acts between the door leaf and the pivot point 7 of the swinging lever, has reached positon outside the plane of the vehicle body wall 3 fr which position the sliding door is displaceable along t guide 17.
• the actuation member 10 will pull the trolley along the guide 17 until it pushes against the stop 13.
• the actuation member 10 will be urg by the guiding track 14 to a curved position and to foll the curvature of the chain about the chain wheel 2 where the actuation member 10 provides a secure swinging in of t swinging lever and thereby a pulling in of the door leaf to the position shown in figure 2, where the sliding do fills the door opening and lays flush with the vehicle bo wall.
• Figures 3-5 show the operating mode for the device accordi to the invention whereby figure 3 shows a portion of t sliding door 9 and the entire extension of the endless chai 1 with its two chain wheels 2 and 12 in a position corre ponding to figure 2, whereas figure 4 corresponds to t position of figure 1 and figure 5 shows the device in maximum open position and just at the beginning of t closing process.
• Figure 6 shows in a longitudinal section the plia actuation member 10, which incorporates said helically wo 5 spring 19 arranged between two connection members 21 and of which the first connection member 21 has an attachm hole 22 intended for flexible connection with the chai via a chain link 18 and a second attachment hole 23 arran inside the spring 19.
• the second attachment member 10 consists of two parts 25 and 26 which are inteconnected means of a screw 27 and each of which has one attachme -hole 28 and 29 respectively.
• the connecting member - 24 intended to be connected to the attachment 11 on t swinging lever 5.
• a 15 24 is arranged a pliable pulling member 31 which is fitt in the holes 23 and 28 and which has such a length that t spring 19 is not subjected to pulling forces.
• the pulli member 31 is preferably made from ' a number of threads fr aramide fibre (KEVLAR) , which are thread through the hol 20 23-- and 28 and are fixed in suitable manner.
• KEVLAR threads fr aramide fibre
• the driving chain 1 is driven in a manner known per se by
• suitable motor which via a gear device driv one of the chain wheels, but which can also transfer mov

• the invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in t 35 drawings and described in connection thereto but variatio and modifications are possible within the scope of t appended claims.
• the actuation member 10 thus needs not be helically wound spring but it is a also possible to us other similar machine members with ability of be.ing be under influence of axial and/or lateral forces. Instead of spring it is thus possible to design the actuation member a pulling member only, e.g. in form of a short length chain 32 and to bring about. the swinging out of the swingi lever 5 by means of a spring 33, such as shown in figure
