Patent ID: 8231154

Claim:
A door assembly for a vehicle body comprising: a frame having a first boundary and a second boundary opposite the first boundary that define an opening with a first portion adjacent to the first boundary and a second portion adjacent to the second boundary; a first door comprising a first end and a second end wherein the first end is pivotally coupled to the frame at the first boundary, the second end being distal from the first end of the first door, wherein the first door is rotatably movable between a closed position in which the first door conceals the first portion of the opening and an open position in which the first portion of the opening is exposed; a second door comprising a first end and a second end wherein the first end is pivotally coupled to the frame at the second boundary, the second end being distal from the first end of the second door, wherein the second door is rotatably movable between a closed position in which the second door conceals the second portion of the opening and an open position in which the second portion of the opening is exposed, and wherein the second end of the first door is adjacent to and aligned with the second end of the second door when the first door and the second door are in the closed positions, and wherein the second door has an outward facing surface and an inward facing surface and the second end has an end panel extending between the outward facing surface and the inward facing surface, the end panel having a portion extending in a same direction as the outward facing surface and the inward facing surface; a door latch on the second door configured to prevent the second door from moving from the closed position; a door latch release mechanism configured to release the door latch to allow the second door to move from the closed position; and a cancel lever comprising a contact surface extending from the portion of the end panel wherein the cancel lever has a range of motion relative to the portion of the end panel between a latch operation prevention position and a latch operation allowing position, the cancel lever operably coupled to the door latch release mechanism to prevent operation of the door latch release mechanism when the cancel lever is in the latch operation prevention position, wherein the first door is arranged to contact the contact surface of the cancel lever when the first door moves from the open position to the closed position and the cancel lever is arranged to move from the latch operation allowing position to the latch operation prevention position when the first door contacts the contact surface of the cancel lever.
