Patent ID: 8596710

Claim:
A system for moving of a door of a vehicle comprising: a door track mounted to the door; a guide mechanism connecting the door to a vehicle body for relative motion therebetween, the guide mechanism including a first member connected to the door track and a second member pivotably connected to the first member for rotation relative to the door track, the first member being movable relative to the door track and the door, the second member engaging a body track formed in the vehicle body and being movable relative thereto between a first end of the body track and a second end of the body track; and a sequencing mechanism including first and second links, the first link being movable between a locked position restricting movement of the first member relative to the door track and an unlocked position allowing movement of the first member relative to the door track, the second link being movable between a locked position restricting movement of the second member relative to the body track and an unlocked position allowing movement of the second member relative to the body track, the first and second links being configured to be operably connected with each other such that movement of the second link into the locked position causes corresponding movement of the first link into the unlocked position, wherein the sequencing mechanism includes a third link movable between a connected position in which the third link operably interconnects the first and second links and a disconnected position in which the first and second links are operably disconnected from each other.
