Abstract: A control device for a vehicle closure body includes an electronic control unit configured to measure a position of the body, measure a speed of the body, determine an opening or closing direction in which the body is operated by a user, and move the body in the determined opening or closing direction with use of a drive unit when the speed of the body measured at the measured position of the body is equal to or higher than a speed threshold at the measured position of the body.

Abstract: A vehicle opening and closing body control device includes an opening and closing drive device and a controller. When the opening and closing body is being closed, in a case where the position of the opening and closing body when a trapping of a foreign object is detected is outside a specified range between a fully closed position and a specified position, the controller controls the operation of the opening and closing drive device to reverse the opening and closing body to perform the opening operation by a predetermined opening-and-returning distance and then stop the opening and closing body. In a case where the position of trapping is in the specified range, the controller reverses the opening and closing body to perform the opening operation by the predetermined opening-and-returning distance or a greater distance and then stop the opening and closing body outside the specified range.

Abstract: A vehicle-door opening/closing control device includes a controller, which controls the operation of a drive device. The controller is configured to supply drive power based on a voltage of an in-vehicle power supply to an electromagnetic clutch. The controller is also configured such that, when stopping an opening/closing body at an intermediate position, the controller supplies the drive power based on the voltage of the in-vehicle power supply to the electromagnetic clutch to put the clutch in the engaged state, and then stops the supply of drive power to the electromagnetic clutch so that the clutch is in the disengaged state after a predetermined holding time has elapsed since the controller has stopped the opening/closing body at the intermediate position. The predetermined holding time differs between a case where the trapping of the foreign object is detected and a case where the opening/closing manipulation is detected.

Abstract: A striker is at a vehicle body. A door latch mechanism is at a back door and holds it in a closed state for the vehicle body by engaging the striker. The door latch mechanism has a latch, ratchet, latch base, latch shaft, ratchet shaft, latch spring and ratchet spring. The ratchet is formed by a latch locking part which locks the latch so that the latch holds the engagement state with the striker and at a position which waits ingress of the striker in a state that the striker does not engage the latch and a wall surface contact part which behaves as a rotation stopper of the ratchet by contacting to a wall surface of the latch base. The latch locking part and the wall surface contact part are provided so that positions of a center of rotation and a center of gravity of this ratchet correspond practically.

Abstract: According to a vehicle door system (10), when a forward collision prediction sensor (76) predicts a forward collision of a vehicle (12), a state is immediately brought about where a terminal edge portion (54) at the rear end of a front door (16) is positioned more outwardly in the vehicle width direction than a terminal edge portion (56) at the front end of a rear door (18). Thus, even when the front door (16) is moved toward the rear door (18) side (that is, toward the rear of the vehicle) due to a forward collision or the like that has occurred after the forward collision is predicted, for example, it is possible to prevent the situation in which the front door (16) is jammed inside the rear door (18), more specifically, the situation in which a rear-end hemmed portion (60) of the front door (16) gets inside a front-end hemmed portion (62) of the rear door (18) with respect to the vehicle width direction.

Abstract: To a pair of link arms, portions of a fitting mechanism that can be engaged with each other in a vehicle width direction are formed. Further, hinge bases that hold both ends of the pair of link arms rotatably can fit together in the vehicle width direction. By this structure, when a load is applied onto a sliding door from the outside of the vehicle owing to a side collision or the like, and a force is applied onto the fitting mechanism and the pair of hinge bases in the vehicle width direction and in the vehicle vertical direction, the portions of the fitting mechanism and the pair of hinge bases fit together, and the movement of the link arms to the upper side in the vehicle vertical direction is regulated. Thereby, the pulling deformation of the sliding door to the inside of the vehicle body is suppressed.
