20230211652 · 2023-07-06 ·

A passenger motor vehicle includes a body, a side door movable between a closed position and an open position, a side door fixing element, and a body stop element. The side door fixing element is disposed on the side door and the body stop element is disposed above the side door fixing element in a vertical direction of the passenger motor vehicle when the side door is in the closed position. The side door fixing element and the body stop element have an offset relative to each other in a transverse direction of the passenger motor vehicle when the side door is in the closed position. The side door is reshapeable as a result of an impact on the side door such that the side door fixing element is displaceable against the body stop element.

Vehicle door

A vehicle door, in particular a passenger door for a public transport vehicle, includes a window frame for receiving a window, which has at least one frame element for receiving a respective window edge of the window. The vehicle further includes a door frame for receiving the window frame. The door frame includes a door profile and the at least one frame element includes a window profile respectively, wherein the at least one window profile with reference to a movement in a release direction perpendicular to the window edge received by the respective frame element is engaged with a respective door profile in a form-fitting manner.

ACCESS-FEATURE-MOUNTED EXTERNAL SPEAKER

Implementations of the subject technology provide a access-feature-mounted external speaker. The access-feature-mounted external speaker may be disposed within an internal cavity in the door, and acoustically coupled to a slot in an edge of the door by an acoustic duct. In a closed position of the door, sound from the access-feature-mounted external speaker may be projected into a gap between the door and a structural interface of an enclosure, and redirected in part by the structural interface to a location external to the enclosure. In an open position of the door, sound from the speaker may be projected into an opening in the enclosure.

Vehicle door structure

Provided are a door trim attached on a vehicle cabin side of a vehicle door and including a storage recess curved outward in a vehicle-width direction, and a release switch disposed in the storage recess and pushed in a predetermined operating direction to output a latch release signal to an actuator that moves a latch member. The latch switch is completely stored in the storage recess, and the operating direction is tilted toward the rear of the vehicle relative to an axis extending outward in the vehicle-width direction.

Vehicle skeleton structure

A vehicle skeleton structure includes: a first front pillar portion provided at a first side portion of a vehicle body; a second front pillar portion provided at a second side portion of the vehicle body; a front upper cross portion coupled to upper portions of the first and second front pillar portions; a front lower cross portion coupled to lower portions of the first and second front pillar portions; a first rear pillar portion provided at the first side portion along a rear peripheral edge portion of the door opening portion; a second rear pillar portion provided at the second side portion; a rear upper cross portion coupled to upper portions of the first and second rear pillar portions; and a rear lower cross portion coupled to lower portions of the first and second rear pillar portions.

VEHICLE DOOR DEVICE

A vehicle door device includes a first link arm and a second link arm each having a first pivot coupling point with respect to a vehicle body and a second pivot coupling point with respect to a door of a vehicle, and a biasing force applying device configured to, during opening and closing operation of the door based on an operation of a link mechanism formed by the first link arm and the second link arm, apply, to the door, a biasing force in a direction in which a rotational moment around the second pivot coupling point generated based on inertia of the door generated in the door accompanied by the operation of the link mechanism is reduced.

External handle device for vehicle doors

Provided is a vehicular door outer handle device including a handle body having a housing recess, a handle cover covering the handle body from the outside, a base member fixed to a vehicle door, and a support arm connected to one end in a longitudinal direction of the handle body and rotatably supported by the base member via a support shaft. A slit through which a harness connected to an electronic component housed in the housing recess is inserted is formed in the one end of the handle body and in the support arm. Although there is provided the slit that facilitates assembly work of the harness, reduction in strength is prevented while avoiding an increase in the number of parts. A handle cover 14 is integrally provided with a first reinforcing portion 55 that is fitted into a slit 51 so as to contact, or to approach and face, both side surfaces of the slit 51.

Door hatch assembly
