 Technical field

 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a vehicle door device that can be attached to a vehicle body such as a passenger car or a freight car, and that combines a slide door and a side opening door (hinge type door). Background art

 Conventionally, van-type vehicles have a sliding door that opens by moving the door to the rear of the vehicle, but van-type vehicles also have front doors on both sides of the driver's seat and front and rear in ordinary passenger cars. The door was generally a side-opening door that opens and closes around a hinge mounted on the side of the vehicle. However, when a car is parked in a narrow parking lot, a door that opens sideways cannot open the door at a large angle, which is very inconvenient, and motorcycles that try to pass through the side of the car And the bicycle could hit the open door. Therefore, as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2000-3101947, a guide rail can be provided on the side of the vehicle, and the front door can be slid forward on this guide rail. A sliding door device for vehicles mounted in this manner has been proposed.

 However, in the vehicle slide door device having such a structure, since the front door moves along the guide rail, there is a problem that if the guide rail is bent, the front door cannot be easily opened. . In particular, the guide rail needs only the distance that the door moves, and when the vehicle rolls over, or when another vehicle collides from the side, it easily deforms and the front door cannot be opened. .

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has a switch on the side of the driver's seat. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle door device capable of opening a door even if a guide rail of the ride door is deformed.

 Disclosure of the invention

In this case, a two-door type in which a door is provided only on both sides of a so-called front seat is provided. There is convenience for cars. When the slide door opens to the rear, the guide rail can be formed directly on the vehicle body as in a normal van-type passenger car. Therefore, the vehicle door device of the present invention can be preferably applied to a two-door or four-door type vehicle.

 In the vehicle door device according to the present invention, the side-opening door has a side-opening door main body that stores a window glass in a lower half, and there is no window frame around the window glass at an ascending limit. Moreover, when the side-opening door is closed, the periphery except the lower part of the window glass at the ascending limit is different from the case of the structure A in which the periphery of the sliding door comes into contact with a seal member provided around the inside of the door frame. The side-opening door may have a side-opening door main body for storing a window glass in a lower half and a structure B having a window frame of the window glass in an upper half. In the case of structure A, the view is hardly obstructed by the window frame of the window glass. In the case of structure B, the structure of the side-opening door is strong.
