A vehicle door structure includes a door lock unit configured to lock a sliding door and a swing door when the sliding door is in a fully opened state, and a lock detection unit configured to detect a locked state between the sliding door and the swing door by the door lock unit. The door lock unit has a locking pin disposed at a guide body, a locking pin biasing member configured to bias the locking pin toward the swing door, and a fitting section formed at a slide rail and fitted onto the locking pin. The lock detection unit detects the locked state between the sliding door and the swing door by detecting the locking pin being fitted into the fitting section.

The present invention relates to all terrain vehicles having at least a pair of laterally spaced apart seating surfaces.

A door opening and closing apparatus for a vehicle includes a transmission gear configured to be driven to rotate by a motor, a pulley arranged coaxially with the transmission gear and configured to open and close a vehicle door by moving a rope member with a rotation of the pulley, an output member arranged coaxially with the transmission gear and configured to bring a door lock to a holding state with a rotation of the output member, a first clutch housed in the pulley in a state being coaxial with the transmission gear, the first clutch selectively permitting and prohibiting a rotation transmission between the transmission gear and the pulley, and a second clutch housed in the transmission gear in a state being coaxial with the transmission gear, the second clutch selectively permitting and prohibiting a rotation transmission between the transmission gear and the output member.

A vehicle door hinge system may include an actuator configured to pivot a vehicle door and a door hinge. The actuator may include a door strut. The door hinge may include a body strap, a door strap, and a strut strap having a strap end and a strut end. The strap end may be attached to the body strap, and the strut end of the strut strap and the door strut may be pivotally coupled to one another, such that the door of the vehicle is opened when the door strut is extended and closed when the door strut is retracted.

An actuating apparatus for a vehicle part contains an actuating motor for generating an actuating force under the action of which the vehicle part can be adjusted between a closed state and an open state along an actuating path. The actuating apparatus also contains a control unit which is configured to carry out an actuating method in which, according to the method, a position measure is continuously ascertained when the vehicle part is adjusted, the position measure being characteristic of the current actuating position of the vehicle part along the actuating path. Furthermore, the position measure is set to a prespecified reference value when the vehicle part is in the closed state and when a further condition is additionally met, the further condition being linked in a reproducible manner with a specific actuating position.

A door hinge is provided to slant such that a free end of a door is rotated obliquely upward while the door is opened, and an energizing type balancer to assist an opening/closing operation of the door is provided. A hinge axis of the door hinge slants relative to a vertical line, having an upper side thereof being positioned on an inward side in a vehicle width direction and on a forward side in a vehicle longitudinal direction such that a locus of the free end of the door while the door is opened becomes substantially horizontal or lowers in an opening direction at a point before the door is opened to a maximum open position.

Vertical frame portions provided at both side portions of a door frame are a light-metal casting, plural connecting frames, which are a light-meal hollow extrusion molding, connect the vertical frame portions, the vertical frame portions are provided with protrusion portions which engage with inward connecting frames in a longitudinal direction, plural attachment portions which attach the outward connecting frames and the vertical frame portion are provided at different points in the longitudinal direction, and an outward connecting frame is provided with an upper rib which engages with an engagement recess portion provided at an upper portion of a door outer panel formed in a non-planar shape.

A vehicle door structure 1 includes a lock mechanism 40. The lock mechanism 40 includes a portion to be locked 50 provided to a guided body 18, a first locking portion 60 arranged at a position that corresponds to the portion to be locked 50 when the slide door 6 is in the fully closed position, and a second locking portion 70 arranged at a position that corresponds to the portion to be locked 50 when the slide door 6 is in the fully open position. The portion to be locked 50, in the fully closed position or the fully open position, protrudes toward the first locking portion 60 or the second locking portion 70 and is locked by the first locking portion 60 or the second locking portion 70. The second locking portion 70 protrudes toward the portion to be locked 50 when the swing door 70 is opened.

A vehicle side door opening/closing device includes a motor, a gear case to which the motor is fixed and which is fixed to a side door, a speed reducer built in the gear case, an output gear provided to the speed reducer, a rack of which an end portion is pivotably supported to a vehicle body and which is provided with a rack gear, and an engagement holding unit connected with the gear case and movably supporting the rack while constantly keeping an engagement allowance between the rack and the output gear. The side door is moved in an opening direction by pushing the rack and in a closing direction by pulling the rack respectively following the rotation of the output gear. The engagement holding unit rotates around a rotation center of the output gear by a swing of the rack following the opening/closing operation of the side door.

In an opening/closing body control device, catching determination part (15) determines whether or not a catching in an opening/closing body has occurred based on a value of current that flows in a motor; a plurality of sensors (51 to 53) disposed to be shifted by predetermined electrical angles detect positions of magnetic poles of the motor (40); a counterclockwise pattern storage unit (14) stores a counterclockwise pattern which is a pattern corresponding to outputs of the plurality of sensors (51 to 53) and a predetermined shift in the electrical angles; and drive command part (16) controls the drive circuit (30) using a clockwise pattern or the counterclockwise pattern based on the outputs of the plurality of sensors (51 to 53), and in a case where the catching determination part (15) determines that a catching has occurred, controlling the drive circuit (30) in a predetermined pattern for eliminating the catching.
