Patent number: 12679184Abstract: A door tilting system for a slidable vehicle door, and a method for adjusting a door tilting system, where the door tilting system forms part of a pivoting joint between the vehicle door and a movable arm structure connecting the vehicle door to a vehicle body structure. The door tilting system includes an inner socket and an outer socket, where the inner socket is arranged inside the outer socket and rotatably arranged relative to the outer socket. The inner socket includes a receiving opening configured for receiving a fastening device. The receiving opening has an elongated configuration, and the receiving opening is extending in a first direction along a first axis through the inner socket. The door tilting system is configured for changing the first direction of the receiving opening relative to the outer socket upon rotational displacement of the inner socket relative to the outer socket.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2024Date of Patent: July 14, 2026Assignees: Ningbo Geely Automobile Research & Dev. Co., Ltd., ZHEJIANG GEELY HOLDING GROUP CO., LTD.Inventors: Kaj Andersson, Fredrik Wallander

Publication number: 20250283364Abstract: A vehicle door system has a door structure movable relative to a vehicle body between closed and open positions. The door structure is connected to the vehicle body via first and second arms arranged at a lower end of the door structure. The first arm includes a first inner end pivotably connected to the vehicle body and a first outer end pivotably connected to the door structure. The second arm includes a second inner end pivotably connected to the vehicle body and a second outer end pivotably connected to the door structure. The first arm has an inner arm section and an outer arm section pivotably connected to each other via an intermediate pivot point. The inner arm section and the outer arm section are pivotably displaceable relative to each other via the intermediate pivot point upon displacement of the door structure between the closed and open positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2025Publication date: September 11, 2025Inventors: Fredrik WALLANDER, Kaj ANDERSSON, Bengt LENNARTSSON

Patent number: 6257649Abstract: A soft top for a vehicle, in particular a passenger vehicle, comprises a soft-top linkage which is mounted pivotably on soft-top supports on the body, the soft top being movable, by means of an actuating device, forwards from a rear storage position into a locking position situated above the windscreen frame. In order to provide a soft top in which, during the closing process, sufficient spring deflection is available, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the forces for closing are kept low, provision is made that, during the closing process, the soft top is stopped, by the actuating device, in a premounted position above the locking position and is supported in this position by at least one spring-loaded stop.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1999Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: CTS-Fahrzeug-Dachsysteme GmbHInventors: Kaj Andersson, Ralf Valett
