A sliding window assembly includes a frame with a track, and a sliding window portion disposed in the frame and displaceable in the track between a closed position and an open position. The sliding window portion includes a handle pivotable between a lock position and a slide position, and a driving pin coupled with the handle and engaging the track. The driving pin defines a pivot axis for the handle. A guide pin spaced from the driving pin is selectively engageable with the track when the handle is pivoted from the lock position to the slide position. With the handle in the slide position, the sliding window portion is displaceable from its closed position to an open position.

A slide door harness includes a wiring material, a vehicle body-side fixing portion provided in a vehicle body to rotatably hold an end of the wiring material below a lower end of an inner surface member of a slide door, and a door-side fixing portion provided on the slide door to rotatably hold another end of the wiring material, and the door-side fixing portion includes a holding portion configured to hold the another end of the wiring material toward the lower end side of the inner surface member, a first rotating shaft configured to allow the holding portion to rotate around a first rotation axis, and a second rotating shaft configured to allow the holding portion and the first rotating shaft to integrally rotate around a second rotation axis intersecting the first rotation axis.

A door opening assembly is provided for moving a door of a vehicle between an open position and a closed position. The assembly includes a frame member coupled to the vehicle, a link is coupled to the frame member, and a link arm pivotally coupled to the link. A pivot arm is pivotally coupled to the frame member and a pivot bracket is pivotally coupled to the door and the pivot arm. The pivot bracket includes a slot such that a pin on the link arm slides therethrough. The assembly includes a gear rack and a gear operably coupled to the gear rack. The gear is driven by a motor as the door moves between its open and closed positions. The assembly further includes a guide track coupled to the vehicle and a roller rotatably driven along the guide track as the door moves between its open and closed positions.

An apparatus for window used for moving a sliding window plate between an insertion position to be inserted into an opening portion of a fixed window plate, an extraction position to be extracted from the opening portion, and an open position to be shifted in a slide direction from the extraction position and to uncover the opening portion, includes a rotary member rotatably supported with respect to the sliding window plate; a drive member moved in a predetermined direction with respect to the sliding window plate; a fixation guide configured to convert a movement of the drive member in the predetermined direction with respect to the sliding window plate into a movement of the sliding window plate in an extraction/insertion direction with respect to the fixed window plate; and a wire configured to pull and move the drive member in the predetermined direction.

A vehicle slide door support device connects a slide door to a vehicle body. The slide door is configured to open and close a door opening formed in a side surface of the vehicle body. The device includes: a first guide rail arranged on a lower portion of the slide door and regulating a movement direction of the slide door; a first hinge unit arranged below the door opening and configured to move relative to the first guide rail in a longitudinal direction of the first guide rail; a second guide rail arranged above the first hinge unit on the vehicle body and regulating the movement direction of the slide door; and a second hinge unit arranged above the first guide rail on the slide door and configured to move relative to the second guide rail in a longitudinal direction of the second guide rail.

A device for a vehicle roof may have a guide element with a slideway, a bolt which can be displaced relative to the guide element and can be guided thereby on the slideway. The bolt and the guide element have a common contact area which may be formed by a protrusion on the bolt and the slideway, the protrusion being configured to introduce a corresponding notch into the slideway during the displacement along the slideway.

A cross-sectional shape of an open-side cable 22a is formed into a round shape, and a cross-sectional shape of respective connecting units 52 between a pulley groove 50 of a pulley 46 and flange portions 51 is formed into a circular arc shape. Thus, it is possible to surely suppress damage of the open-side cable 22a caused by being strongly pressed to a corner as a conventional manner. Therefore, it is possible to improve durability of the open-side cable 22a, whereby it is possible to extend a maintenance cycle of a driving unit and obtain high reliability thereof.

A front link of a sunroof apparatus shifts, based on power transmitted from a first guide shaft of a front shoe, among a full-close corresponding position that allows a movable panel to be arranged in a full-close position, a front-up corresponding position that allows the movable panel to be arranged in a front-up position and a full-open corresponding position that allows the movable panel to be arranged in a full-open position. In a side view from a width direction of the front link, a first guide groove, through which the first guide shaft is inserted, extends so as to intersect with a line segment connecting a front connection shaft and a front support shaft.

A sliding door structure includes a rotary part that can rotate with respect to a door, a pair of first rollers holding a first guide rail therebetween, a pair of second rollers holding a second guide rail therebetween, a first roller support part that rotatably supports the pair of first rollers and can rotate with respect to the rotary part, and a second roller support part that rotatably supports the pair of second rollers and can rotate with respect to the rotary part.

A hold-open latch structure for opposite sliding doors for a vehicle includes a roller swing arm which rotates about a rotating shaft formed in a roller at the time of opening or closing the door, and moves the door toward the inside and outside of the vehicle and in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A locking unit enables the door to be opened or closed and maintains an opened state of the door. The locking unit further includes a catch pivotably mounted on the rotating shaft and coupled to the roller swing arm so as to rotate together with the roller swing arm at the time of opening or closing the door. A lever is mounted so that one side of the lever is in contact with the catch.
