Door

A slidable door, particularly for use in vehicles having a side wall, comprising at least one door section adapted to be flush with the vehicle side wall when the door section is in its closed position;

• a bearing rail supported in the vehicle, said door section being arranged to slide along said bearing rail in a direction parallel to the vehicle side wall;
• an attachment plate connected to said door section;
• a plurality of pairs of guide rollers engaging said bearing rail and connected to the attachment plate and operative for permitting a longitudinal sliding of the attachment plate along the bearing rail, but preventing a relative rotating movement between the attachment plate and the bearing rail;
• said pairs of guide rollers being spaced from one another and having respective axles rigidly connected to said attachment plate in order to provide the slidable movement of said plate along said bearing rail;
• said door section comprising a pin rigidly connected thereto and extending parallel to said bearing rail and hingedly connected to the attachment plate, said bearing rail having a cross-section deviating from a circular shape;
• and guide means comprising slide rollers connected rigidly to said door section and guide rails engaged with said slide rollers and supported in the vehicle, said guide rails having angled sections, said slide rollers being adapted to move along said guide rails, said bearing rail being adapted to pivot so as to permit said door section to move in a direction perpendicular to the vehicle side wall when said slide rollers move along the angled sections of said guide rails.
