Abstract:
1. A sliding door system for a vehicle having a front and tail end, said vehicle including a vehicle body having a door opening and a sliding door, comprising: a guide rail which can be mounted on or in the vehicle body in the proximity of the door opening, a guide element which is displaceable along the guide rail and which is connected to the sliding door by way of a holding arm, a line receiving means of pivotably interconnected members for receiving and guiding electric lines from a connection on the vehicle body to a connection at the sliding door, wherein the line receiving means is guided in said guide rail, characterised in that the line receiving means is arranged in the guide rail and is directed towards the front or the tail end of the vehicle, and includes a deflection region by which the line receiving means is deflected through a given angle in a given direction upon displacement of said line receiving means in a direction towards said front or said tail end of the vehicle, and connected to the deflection region is a channel-shaped guide in which the deflected portion of the line receiving means extends as a first and forms a substantially semicircular arc of a predetermined radius with a second run, the end of which is connected stationarily to the vehicle body, wherein displacement of the line receiving means through the curvature of the deflection at the end of the guide rail and through the substantially semicircular deflection between the first and second runs.
