Abstract

A rear door assembly for a motor vehicle 10 is disclosed in which a rear door 11, 12 is attached to a rear end of the motor vehicle 10 to allow it to be rotated through 90 degrees from a closed position to a first open position and then be slid from the first open position to a second open position in which it lies adjacent a longitudinal panel 14 of the motor vehicle 10.

Description

205-1929GB A Rear Door Assembly for a Motor Vehicle This invention
relates to motor vehicles and in particular to a rear door for a motor vehicle.
It is well known to provide a motor vehicle with a rear door that is pivotab].e from a closed position to one or more open positions.
Figure 1 shows two prior art motor vehicles 4, 7 parked one behind the other each of which has a conventional rear door arrangement. The motor vehicles 4, 7 are parked next to a walkway or footpath 2 and the rear motor vehicle 7 is parked against a loading bay 3 so as to aid the loading or is unloading of the motor vehicle 7. The arrows "F" indicate a forward direction of motion if the motor vehicles 4, 7 were to be moving.
The first motor vehicle 4 has two rear doors 5, 6 pivotally connected to a rear end of the motor vehicle 4 and the second motor vehicle 7 has two rear doors 8, 9 pivotally connected to a rear end of the motor vehicle 7.
As shown the rear doors 5, 6 of the first motor vehicle 4 are in a first open position' in which they have been rotated approximately 90 degrees from their closed positions. One of the problems with this open position is that although there is sufficient room to open the rear doors 5, 6 there is not sufficient room between the open doors 5, 6 and the front end of the second vehicle 7 for a person to efficiently unload or load the first vehicle 4.
This could be solved by moving the doors 5, 6 to the position shown in respect of the rear doors 8, 9 of the second motor vehicle 7 hereinafter referred to as a third open position but then a second problem arises in that the rear door 6 would block the footpath 2 as is the case with the rear door 8 of the second motor vehicle 7.
205-1929GB In the case of the second vehicle 7 the rear door 8 could be moved to the first open position shown in respect of the door 6 but this is only possible if the height of the loading bay 3 is such as to allow a lower edge of the rear door 8 to pass over it.
It can therefore be seen that several problems arise in the case of motor vehicles having conventional rear door 1.0 arrangements.
It is an object of this invention to provide an improved rear door assembly for a motor vehicle.
According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a rear door assembly for a motor vehicle having a door moveably attached to the motor vehicle for rotation through substantially 90 degrees from a closed position to a first open position wherein the door is selectively slideable from the first open position to a second open position in which it lies adjacent to a longitudinally extending body panel of the motor vehicle.
The pivot axis may be a vertical pivot axis, the longitudinally extending body panel may be a side panel of the motor vehicle and, in the second position, the door lies adjacent the side panel of the motor vehicle.
The door may be alternatively rotatable from the closed position to a third open position in which it lies substantially at 180 degrees relative to the closed position.
The pivot axis may be a horizontal pivot axis, the longitudinally extending body panel may be a roof panel and, in the second position, the door lies adjacent the roof panel of the motor vehicle.
205-1929GB According to a second aspect of the invention there is provided a motor vehicle having at least one rear door assembly in accordance with said first aspect of the invention.
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing of which:-Fig.1 is a diagrammatic representation of two prior art motor vehicles each having two rear doors in open positions; Fig.2 is a pictorial representation of the rear end of a motor vehicle having two rear door assemblies according to a first embodiment of the invention showing a door of each door assembly in a first open position; Fig.3 is a pictorial representation of the rear end of a motor vehicle similar to that shown in Fig.2 but showing the doors in a second open position; Fig.4 is a pictorial representation of the rear end of a motor vehicle similar to that shown in Fig.2 but showing the doors in a third open position; Fig.5 is a pictorial representation of a hinge assembly * forming part of the rear door assemblies shown in Figs. 2 to 4; Fig.6 is an end view in the direction of arrow Y' on Fig.5 showing part of the hinge assembly shown in Fig.5 assembled to the motor vehicle; and Fig.7 is a pictorial representation of the rear end of a motor vehicle having a rear door assembly according to 205-1929GB a second embodiment of the invention showing a door forming part of the door assembly in a second open position.
With reference to Figs. 2 to 4 there is shown the rear end of a motor vehicle 10 in which a forward direction of motion is indicated by the arrow "F".
The motor vehicle 10 has a body structure formed from a nunber of longitudinally extending panels including a floor 13, right and left side panels 14 and 15 and a roof panel 16.
Two rear doors 11, 12 are attached to the rear end of the motor vehicle 10 to provide access to a space defined by the floor 13, the right and left side panels 14 and 15 and a roof panel 16. In their closed positions the rear doors 11, 12 lie across the motor vehicle so as to be arranged substantially normally to a longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle 10.
Each of the rear doors 11, 12 is attached to the motor vehicle by two or more hinge mechanisms (not shown on Figs. 2 to 4).
Each of the rear doors 11, 12 is moveable about a respective vertical pivot axis passing through the hinge mechanisms used to secure it to the motor vehicle 10 from its respective closed position through approximately 90 degrees to a first open position shown in Fig.2.
From the first open position each rear door 11, 12 is selectively moveable by sliding the respective rear door 11, 12 forwardly along tracks (not shown on Figs. 2 to 4) to a second open position shown in Fig. 3. In this second position each of the rear doors 11, 12 lies adjacent one of the side panels 14, 15. In the example shown the left hand rear door lies adjacent the left hand rear side panel 15 and 205 -1929GB the right hand rear door 12 lies adjacent the right hand rear side panel 14. It will be noted that, when the two rear doors 11, 12 are in their respective second open positions, neither door projects outwardly from the rear end of the motor vehicle 10 and occupies very little space to the side of the motor vehicle 10 thereby overcoming the
problems associated with the prior art.
As shown in Fig.4, a user of the motor vehicle 10 has the option of moving the rear doors 11, 12 from their closed positions to respective third open positions by simple rotation about their respective vertical pivot axis through approximately 180 degrees.
With particular reference to Figs.5 and 6 there is shown a hinge mechanism 20 for use in securing the rear doors 11 to the motor vehicle 10. Two identical hinge mechanisms 20 are used to attach the door 11 to the motor vehicle 10, one hinge mechanism being located near to an upper edge of the door 11 and a second hinge mechanism located near to a lower edge of the door 11. A pair of similar hinge mechanisms are used to connect the rear door 12 to the motor vehicle 10.
The hinge mechanism 20 comprises of a support plate 21 from which extend two cranked arms 22, 23. Each of the arms 22, 23 has an aperture formed therein near a free end thereof to accommodate a hinge pin 24. The hinge pin 24 extends in a vertical direction when the hinge mechanism is attached to the motor vehicle 10. Although the cranked arms 22, 23 are shown as separate components attached to the support plate 21, it will be appreciated that the cranked arms 22, 23 and the support plate 21 could be made as a single component. A vertical axis is defined by the two pivot pins of the two hinge mechanisms hingedly securing the upper and lower ends of the door 11 to the motor vehicle 10.
205-]. 929GB Two rollers 26, 27 are rotatably attached to the support plate 21 to guide the support plate 21 in a track 40 fastened to the side panel 15 of the motor vehicle 10 not shown on Figs. 2 to 4). The track 40 defines two opposed ii"-shaped guides 41, 42 in which the rollers 26, 27 are located and extends longitudinally along the side panel 15 of the motor vehicle 10.
A latching mechanism 50 is fastened to the side pane].
15 to provide a means of latching the support plate 21 in a desired' position to permit rotation of the door 11 from its closed position to its first and third open positions but prevent sliding of the support plate 21 relative to the track 40. That is to say, when the latching mechanism is engaged the support plate 21 cannot slide along the track 40.
The latching means includes a moveable pin 51 (shown in dotted outline on Fig.6) which is biased by a spring (not shown) for engagement with an aperture 28 in the support plate 21 to hold the support plate 21 in the desired' position. Operation of the latching mechanism 50 by a user of the motor vehicle 10 causes the pin 51 to be retracted from the aperture 28 thereby allowing the support plate 21 to be slid along the track 40.
A gap is defined between the two arms 22, 23 into which is fitted a cranked end of hinge leaf 31 secured by securing means (not shown) to an inside of the door 11. An aperture in the cranked end of the hinge leaf 31 is used to accommodate the hinge pin 24 so as to hingedly connect the hinge leaf 31 to the support plate 21. A latch lever 34 is slidingly attached to the hinge leaf 31 for movement in the direction of arrow x' on Fig5.
The latch lever 34 has a free end which abuts against a stop 25 formed on the arm 22 when the door 11 is moved to 205 -1929GB the first open position. The stop 25 is provided to align the door 11 with the side panel 15 of the motor vehicle 10 when the door 11 is in its first open position. By sliding the latch lever 34 in the direction of arrow x' the latch lever 34 disengages from the stop 25 thereby allowing the door 11 to be rotated to its third open position.
It will be appreciated that other hinge mechanisms could be used and that each hinge mechanism could be slideably attached to both the motor vehicle and the door so as to reduce the length of track required on the side of the motor vehicle.
Opening of the rear door 11 is performed as follows.
From the closed position any locking mechanism securing the door 11 in the closed position are released, the door 11 is then free to rotate about its vertical pivot axis from the closed position to its first open position where rotation is halted after approximately 90 degree of rotation by the abutment of the latch lever 34 with the stop 25.
In this first open position several options are open to a user of the motor vehicle 10.
A first option is to leave the door 1]. in the first open position and unload or load any articles with the door 11 in that position.
A second option is to release the latch lever 34 and further rotate the door 11 to its third open position so that it lies approximately 180 degrees from its closed position.
A third option is to release the latching mechanism 50 and then slide the door 11 in a forward direction so that it is positioned adjacent the left hand side panel 15 of the motor vehicle 10. In this case, each support plate 21 205-1929GB slides along its respective track aided by the rollers 26, 27.
A motor vehicle 10 fitted with a door assembly according to this invention therefore has a number of options which can be used to suit the circumstances present when loading or unloading of the motor vehicle 10 is required.
Although the invention has been described with reference to a motor vehicle having two rear doors it will be appreciated that the invention is equally applicable to a motor vehicle having a single rear door rotatable about a vertical pivot axis.
With reference to Fig.7 there is shown an alternative embodiment of the invention for use on a motor vehicle 110 having a single horizontally hinged rear door 112.
The motor vehicle 110 has a body structure formed from a number of longitudinally extending panels including a floor 113, right and left side panels 114 and 115 and a roof panel 116.
The rear door 112 is attached to the rear end of the motor vehicle 110 to provide access to a space defined by the floor 113, the right and left side panels 114 and 115 and the roof panel 116. In its closed position the rear doors 112 lies across the motor vehicle so as to be arranged substantially normal to a longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle 110.
The rear door 112 is attached to the motor vehicle by two or more hinge mechanisms (not shown) located at a top edge of the door 112 when the door 112 is in its closed position.
205-1929GB The rear door 112 is moveab].e about a horizontal pivot axis passing through the hinge mechanisms used to secure it to the motor vehicle 110 from its respective closed position through approximately 90 degrees to a first open position in s which the door 112 is positioned substantially horizontally.
From this position, the door 112 is moveable to a second open position (as shown in Fig 7) by sliding it forwardly so as to position it adjacent the roof panel 116.
In this position the door 112 lies adjacent the roof panel 116 iii such a manner that it does not extend from the rear of the motor vehicle 110.
To achieve the sliding motion the hinges used to secure the door 112 to the motor vehicle 110 are slidingly engaged with tracks (not shown) mounted on an inside of the rear door 112.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that although the invention has been described by way of example with reference to one or more embodiments it is not limited to the disclosed embodiments and that one or more modifications to the disclosed embodiments or alternative embodiments could be constructed without departing from the scope of the invention.
