Vehicle door open-close device
First Claim
1. An open-and-close mechanism for a vehicle door, which is driven by electric power, comprising:
- a driving mechanism disposed in a vehicle compartment and positioned inwardly from a door opening; and
an operation transfer mechanism connecting said driving mechanism and said vehicle door;
the operation transfer mechanism being equipped with a slider member reciprocatingly and linearly moving by the aid of the driving mechanism, and a link member directly connecting the slider member and the vehicle door,wherein said link member having a first end and a second end, the first end being rotatably connected to the slider member and the second end being rotatably connected to the vehicle door, and said link member is formed to have a curved portion outwardly and protrudingly curved away from a center of rotation of the vehicle door, and the link member is a single body, andwherein said curved portion passes across the door opening in the process of a fully opening and fully closing state of the vehicle door.

Abstract
A vehicle door open-close device which makes it possible to achieve a reduction in numbers of parts and also make the deflection width size of a member 5 small, to thereby allow an effective use of a vehicle compartment to be aimed at, is produced, comprising a driving mechanism positioned inwardly from a door opening, an operation transfer mechanism to connect this driving mechanism and the vehicle door, the operation transfer mechanism being equipped with a slider member reciprocatingly and linearly moving by the aid of the driving means, and a link member connecting this slider member and the vehicle door, wherein the link member is rotatably connected to the slider member and the vehicle door, and the link member includes a straight portion and a curved portion outwardly and protrudingly curved away from a center of rotation of the vehicle door, and a straight portion 5b formed in substantially straight line in a connection part 8. And in a process of fully-opening-state or fully-closing-state of the door, the curved portion passes across the door opening seen from the rotation axis direction.
