The door 10 has a bearing engagement portion of the rotation block 222 and the door coupling frame 2 as an axis to be positionally deformed in a gull wing shape as shown in FIG. 3A. At this time, the shock absorber 4 serves to cushion the shock generated when the door 10 is deformed by the actuator 5 into a gull shape.

As such, when the door 10 is changed in the shape of a gull wing, a sufficient riding space can be secured so that the user can conveniently board the vehicle.

Subsequently, when a user in the vehicle touches the door 10 lightly, the vibration sensor 6 inside the door detects the vibration and transmits the detection signal to the control unit (not shown in the drawing). The control unit drives the actuator 5 to insert the developed driving piston 51 into the body 52 to return the door 10 to the horizontal open position. (The shock absorber 4 has a shock-absorbing function. In this case, when the door 10 is returned to its original position, the end of the connection bar 25 provided in the door coupling frame 2 comes into contact with the home position detecting sensor 34 as shown in FIG. 3B. The sensor 34 transmits the detection signal to the control unit to stop the actuator 5.

As such, when the door 10 is returned to the first open position, the user who boards the vehicle is completely on board the vehicle by manually closing the door 10.

On the other hand, when the user gets off the vehicle, the door can be secured by opening the door in a gull shape as in the above-mentioned boarding procedure, and after getting off, the vibration sensor is operated to return the door to the horizontal open position. You can get off completely by closing it manually.
