Abstract

A trapezoidal automotive PSIR door system including one or more lateral doors including two or more tear lines disposed at first and second oblique angles relative to a longitudinal direction of an automobile. The PSIR door system further includes a forward door including one or more tear lines in common with one of the lateral door tear lines, and a rearward door including one or more tear lines in common with another one of the lateral door tear lines.

Claims

1. A trapezoidal automotive PSIR door system comprising:

at least one lateral door including at least two tear lines disposed at first and second oblique angles relative to a longitudinal direction of an automobile;

a forward door including at least one tear line in common with one of said lateral door tear lines; and

a rearward door including at least one tear line in common with another one of said lateral door tear lines.

2. A trapezoidal automotive PSIR door system according to claim 1, wherein said forward door includes a width in the longitudinal direction greater than said rearward door.

3. A trapezoidal automotive PSIR door system according to claim 1, wherein said forward door includes an average length in a generally orthogonal direction relative to the longitudinal direction greater than said rearward door.

4. A trapezoidal automotive PSIR door system according to claim 1, wherein said lateral doors include left and right side lateral doors.

5. A trapezoidal automotive PSIR door system according to claim 1, wherein said lateral door tear line in common with said forward door tear line is longer then said lateral door tear line in common with said rearward door tear line.

6. An automobile including a trapezoidal automotive PSIR door system comprising.

at least one lateral door including at least two tear lines disposed at first and second oblique angles relative to a longitudinal direction of the automobile;

a forward door including at least one tear line in common with one of said lateral door tear lines; and

a rearward door including at least one tear line in common with another one of said lateral door tear lines.

7. An automobile according to claim 6, wherein said forward door includes a width in the longitudinal direction greater than said rearward door.

8. An automobile according to claim 6, wherein said forward door includes an average length in a generally orthogonal direction relative to the longitudinal direction greater than said rearward door.

9. An automobile according to claim 6, wherein said lateral doors include left and right side lateral doors.

10. An automobile according to claim 6, wherein said lateral door tear line in common with said forward door tear line is longer then said lateral door tear line in common with said rearward door tear line.

11. An automotive PSIR door system comprising:

at least one lateral door including at least two tear lines disposed at first and second oblique angles relative to a longitudinal direction of an automobile;

a forward door including at least one tear line in common with one of said lateral door tear lines; and

a rearward door including at least one tear line in common with another one of said lateral door tear lines.

12. An automotive PSIR door system according to claim 11, wherein said forward door includes a width in the longitudinal direction greater than said rearward door.

13. An automotive PSIR door system according to claim 11, wherein said forward door includes an average length in a generally orthogonal direction relative to the longitudinal direction greater than said rearward door.

14. An automotive PSIR door system according to claim 11, wherein said lateral doors include left and right side lateral doors.

15. An automotive PSIR door system according to claim 11, wherein said lateral door tear line in common with said forward door tear line is longer then said lateral door tear line in common with said rearward door tear line.

16. An automotive PSIR door system according to claim 11, wherein said PSIR door includes a generally trapezoidal profile.
