Embodiment Construction

[0018] Referring to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals indicate like parts, figure 1 A body 10 is shown. Body 10 includes a body shell 12 , as well as openings for windows and various access doors. Body 10 encloses an interior space 13 adapted to accommodate vehicle occupants and their belongings. Body 10 includes a front end 14 and a rear end 16 of the vehicle.

[0019] The opening 18 is adapted to provide access to the vehicle passenger compartment, ie it is an entryway provided on the side of the vehicle and is configured to be covered by two panels, a first side door 20 and a second side door 22 . The first and second doors can be opened and closed "independently", ie, each of the first and second doors 20, 22 can be opened or closed regardless of the position of the other door. Although two side doors 20, 22 are shown, body 10 adapted to use a fewer or greater number of doors is also contemplated. The opening 18 is characterized by the absence of a B-pillar...

Abstract

A system controlling an access opening in a body of a vehicle includes a door arranged to selectively open and close a first portion of the opening. A latch is mounted on the door for latching the door to the body and releasing the door to selectively open and close the first portion of the opening. A device is mounted on the door and is configured to be retracted by an actuator before the door is opened and to be protracted by the actuator when the door is closed. A detent is mounted on the device to latch the device to the door when the device is protracted and to release the device before the device is retracted. A motor is mounted on the first door and is configured to operate at least two of the latch, the detent, and the actuator.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system for controlling an access opening in the body of a vehicle. Background technique [0002] A typical vehicle has at least one entry door. Such doors typically have a latch mechanism to hold the door in a latched or closed position until it is desired to enter or exit the vehicle. The latch mechanism is typically actuated by the exterior door handle to gain access to the interior of the vehicle. [0003] Some vehicles use multiple side doors for accessing the interior of the vehicle. Typically, such side doors are hinged near their front edges when viewed from the front of the vehicle. Vehicles with multiple front-hinged side entry doors typically use structural pillars, often called B-pillars, on each side of the vehicle. Such struts are typically located between the access doors and are used to mount door hinges and other various door and body hardware to it. [0004] There are also vehicles that have multiple sid...
