Abstract:
1. A linear center rail structure for a sliding door, comprising: a linear center rail disposed on a side outer panel of a vehicle; a roller part guided by the center rail, slid along the center rail, and having hinge holes formed at an end portion thereof; a base fixed to a sliding door panel and having slots formed in a pop-up direction of the sliding door panel; and an arm having one end at which a first hinge shaft rotatably coupled to the hinge holes of the roller part is disposed and the other end at which a second hinge shaft fitted into the slots of the base to thereby be slidably and rotatably coupled to the base is disposed, wherein the first hinge shaft of the arm has a hook, and an end portion of the center rail has a hooked groove, such that when the sliding door moves from a pop-up position to a closed position, the first hinge shaft is rotated in a first direction to allow the hook to be fitted into the hooked groove, and when the sliding door moves from the closed position to the pop-up position the first hinge shaft is rotated in an opposite direction to the first direction to allow the hook to exit from the hooked groove.
