An isolator comprises a manipulation chamber isolated from the external atmosphere, a door for opening and closing a portal formed on the manipulation chamber, a linear guide mechanism for guiding a linear motion of a front-side edge of the door along the portal, and a rotation guide mechanism defining a rotation of the door about an axis coinciding with the front-side edge. The door is closed by positioning the front-side edge at the front side of the manipulation chamber, and the door is opened inward into the manipulation chamber by moving the front-side edge toward the back side while rotating the door about the front-side edge.

A door hinge apparatus of a vehicle may include a slide unit including a slide body and a main slider where the slide body is provided on one side of a vehicle body corresponding to an end portion of a door in the vehicle and the main slider is movable in a width direction of the vehicle with respect to the slide body, and a door hinge bracket engaged with the end portion of the door and operably coupled to the main slider.

A door linkage system for guiding a door of a motor vehicle between an open position and a closed position relative to a vehicle body includes at least one linkage pivotally connected between the door and the vehicle body to move a rear portion of the door away from the vehicle body substantially in a cross vehicle direction to a partially open position while a front portion of the door concurrently moves substantially in a longitudinal vehicle direction of the vehicle, and then, move the front portion and the rear portion of the door concurrently in substantially the longitudinal vehicle direction of the vehicle to the open position.

A structure for preventing opposite sliding doors from swaying is provided. The structure includes a lower rail mounted in a longitudinal direction at a lower side of a vehicle body, a lower rail roller unit rollably connected to the lower rail, a lower rail swing arm rotatably connected to the lower rail roller unit and a door, a guide roller unit fixedly connected to the lower rail, the guide roller unit including a guide roller rotatably connected to the lower rail, and a guide stopper fixedly connected to the door. The guide stopper includes a guide route formed inside the guide stopper and configured to serve as a rolling movement route for the guide roller, an exit/entrance portion formed at a first end of the guide route, and a stop portion formed at a second end of the guide route.

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.
