Abstract: A slidable contoured side door of an automotive vehicle equipped with a guidance structure that permits full travel of the door without adversely affecting door stability. The guidance structure may include a carriage movable along a relatively short track at the door lower edge and a stabilizer arm having limited sliding motion relative to the door. The relative sliding motion enables the contoured door to be out of registry with the door opening when the door is in the fully open position. This enables the door opening to be unobstructed so that passengers or cargo can more easily pass through the door opening.

Abstract translation: 具有引导结构的机动车辆的可滑动轮廓侧门，其允许门的完全行驶而不会不利地影响门的稳定性。 引导结构可以包括可沿着门下边缘处的相对短的轨道移动的托架和具有相对于门的有限的滑动运动的稳定器臂。 当门处于完全打开位置时，相对的滑动运动使得轮廓门与门开启不一致。 这使得门开口畅通无阻，使得乘客或货物可以更容易地通过门开口。
