Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1167675A1] An integrated system of components transport an automotive sliding door through its range of motion while providing adequate user safety. An automatic sliding door opening/closing system comprises a continuous, powered belted drive system located on a vehicle body, and a clamp arrangement capable of fixably attaching a vehicle door to the belt drive system so as to be automatically driven along a predetermined path and capable of releasing under predetermined conditions. The powered belt drive system is located so as to be combined with one of a van door's standard hinge system's three body tracks. The clamp arrangement may be a rotary device biased into a pinching action on the belt via a cam and spring arrangement.
