A door opening and closing apparatus includes: a body defining an opening and an interior space, the opening being open toward the outside of a vehicle body and the interior space defined inside the vehicle body so as to be connected to the opening; a door configured to open and close the opening; a guide part disposed in the interior space and guiding the door such that the door moves in a first direction and a direction opposite to the first direction, the first direction being a direction from the outside of the vehicle body to the inside of the vehicle body; and a transport part disposed in the interior space and that moves the door in a second direction and a direction opposite to the second direction.

A door roller includes a carriage member comprising a plurality of bores, and a plurality of roller assemblies connected to the carriage member, each roller assembly of the plurality of roller assemblies including a pivot bearing rotatably disposed within a bore of the plurality of bores and a pair of rollers coupled to the pivot bearing. Each wheel assembly is configured to pivot relative to the carriage member.

A vehicle tailgate with an integrated collapsible door comprises a tailgate having an outer wall, an inner wall and a cavity there between, a door section of the tailgate having an inboard wall and an outboard wall and being moveable between a closed position and an open position substantially within the envelope of the tailgate, the inboard wall and the outboard wall being connected by a linkage to permit relative movement there between, a first track to guide the motion of the inboard wall and a second track to guide the motion of the outboard wall, and a power drive unit to power the motion of the door section, such that in the closed position of the door section the inboard wall is flush with the inner wall of the tailgate and the outboard wall is flush with the outer wall of the tailgate, and in the open position of the door section at least a portion of the inboard wall and at least a portion of the outboard wall lie within the cavity between the outer wall and the inner wall of the tailgate.

To provide improved sealing of slidable facade components, a hardware (10) for a slidable facade component is provided. The hardware comprises a guide pin arrangement (12) for the slidable facade component with at least two guide pins (18a) for a first side of the slidable facade component and at least two guide pins (18b) for a second side of the slidable facade component opposite the first side. Furthermore, an actuating rod arrangement (14) for transmitting an actuating force is provided with a first actuating rod (20a) for the first side of the slidable facade component and a second actuating rod (20b) for the second side of the slidable facade component. Further provided is an actuating device (16) coupled to the drive rod assembly for transmitting the actuating force to the first and second drive rods with an actuation. The guide pins are each designed as eccentric bearing pins (22) with an eccentrically arranged axis of rotation (24) for rotatable attachment to the slidable facade component and are provided for engagement with a guide groove arrangement (26) arranged in the frame area. The eccentric bearing pins are each coupled to one of the drive rods via a coupling element (28) and are rotatable via a longitudinal movement of the drive rods. With the eccentric bearing pins supported in the guide groove arrangement, the slidable facade component can be moved transversely to the guide direction in order to cause the slidable facade component to be pressed against a fixed frame region transversely to the guide direction.
