A curtain airbag device mounting structure includes: a first pillar forming a part of a front pillar and extends substantially along a vehicle height direction; a second pillar forming another part of the front pillar, the second pillar being disposed on a rear side of a vehicle relative to the first pillar at a predetermined distance from the first pillar and extending substantially along the vehicle height direction; a transparent member bridged between the first pillar and the second pillar; and a curtain airbag device including a curtain airbag stored along a roof side rail and the second pillar, the curtain airbag being configured to inflate and deploy in a curtain-like fashion over a side portion of a cabin of the vehicle in case of a collision of the vehicle.

An automotive vehicle is provided having a body with an opening without a pillar. First and second doors cover the opening, and a translatable hinge, such as a gooseneck hinge, connects the first door to the vehicle. The hinge is adapted for moving the first door away from the second door, and then allowing the first door to pivot to an open position about a single pivot axis. A striker is adapted for allowing a latch for latching the first door to move along the striker in a latched condition during translation of the hinge, and may include an elongated, angled striker bar for permitting the first door to move both along and outboard of the vehicle body during the opening sequence.

A boarding and alighting step-mounted vehicle includes an entrance provided in a vehicle side portion, a sliding door having two door portions for opening and closing the getting-on/off port by sliding in directions opposite to each other in the vehicle front-rear direction, and a step body having a step body for allowing an occupant to step when getting on and off the vehicle. The step is switchable between the use state and the closed state by rotating the vehicle lower portion on the entrance side as a pivot axis. In the use state of the step, the step body is in a posture deployed outward of the vehicle. In the closed state of the step, the step body is closed on the vehicle side and is in a posture facing the sliding door.

A curtain airbag device mounting structure includes: a first pillar forming a part of a front pillar and extends substantially along a vehicle height direction; a second pillar forming another part of the front pillar, the second pillar being disposed on a rear side of a vehicle relative to the first pillar at a predetermined distance from the first pillar and extending substantially along the vehicle height direction; a transparent member bridged between the first pillar and the second pillar; and a curtain airbag device including a curtain airbag stored along a roof side rail and the second pillar, the curtain airbag being configured to inflate and deploy in a curtain-like fashion over a side portion of a cabin of the vehicle in case of a collision of the vehicle.

A cover device includes a cover that is displaced between a covering position where an upper side of a striker is covered, and an exposure position where the striker is exposed upward, and an open-close mechanism that displaces the cover to the covering position when a slide door performs an opening operation, and displaces the cover to the exposure position when the slide door performs a closing operation.

A door hinge device for a vehicle is disclosed. In the door hinge device for the vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the vehicle without the B pillar, as the hinge slider connected to the hinge part of the door slides and moves in the outer diagonal direction of the vehicle body along the rails inside the case to secure the rotation trajectory of the door, and then the slide latch part configured in the hinge slider restrains the striker fixed to the case by the linked operation of the link arm connected to the door hinge bracket, thereby the slide movement position of the hinge slider is fixed, and then the opening/closing operation of the door is stably achieved.

The hinge is adapted for moving the first door away from the second door, and then allowing the first door to pivot to an open position about a single pivot axis. A striker is adapted for allowing a latch for latching the first door to move along the striker in a latched condition during translation of the hinge, and may include an elongated, angled striker bar for permitting the first door to move both along and outboard of the vehicle body during the opening sequence.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body including a front pillar and a rear pillar spaced along a vehicle-longitudinal axis. The front pillar and the rear pillar define a door opening therebetween. A first track is supported by the front pillar and a second track is supported by the rear pillar. A bar extends from the first track to the second track. The bar is moveable relative to the first track and the second track from a lowered position to a raised position. The bar extends across the door opening in the raised position. The vehicle includes a cable that includes a first end and a second end. The first end is fixed to the bar and moveable with the bar from the lowered position to the raised position. The second end is fixed to the vehicle body.

A door connection structure includes a door guide for guiding a door in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle body, a door hinge arm mounted on the vehicle body, and including a hinge rotation shaft and a door rotation shaft, the door hinge arm rotating around the hinge rotation shaft when the door is sliding, a door hinge rotatably mounted around the door rotation shaft and connected to the door, a first catcher rotatably mounted on the door hinge arm and of which a center striker guide is formed thereto, and a center striker which is inserted into the center striker guide to rotate the first catcher and limits rotation of the first catcher when the door swings so that the door swings around the door rotation shaft.

A door hinge apparatus of a vehicle may include a rail plate provided on one side of a vehicle body corresponding to an end portion of a door of the vehicle and formed with a rail in a width direction of the vehicle, a hinge slide unit including a slide bracket provided on the rail and a door hinge bracket provided on the door where the slide bracket includes a guide slot formed in a diagonal direction of the slide bracket and the slide bracket and the door hinge bracket are pivotally coupled each other through a hinge shaft, and an actuator having a roller configured at a rod to roll along the guide slot so that the slide bracket moves along the rail.
