Abstract
A device for preventing a pinched or sandwiched condition includes a first member having therein an opening area; a second member opening and closing the opening area of the first member; and an electronic control device detecting a sandwich condition between the first member and the second member which is in movement at a speed for closing the opening area of the first member when a deceleration side condition of the speed of the second member exceeds a threshold value which is obtained based on an acceleration side condition of the speed of the second member.
Claims12
A vehicular slide door apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of guide rails mounted on a lateral side of a vehicle body possessing an opening area;
- a slide door mounted on the guide rails for sliding movement in a lengthwise direction of the vehicle body between an open position in which access through the opening area is permitted and a closed position in which access through the opening area is prevented;
- a drive device operatively associated with the slide door to move the slide door between the closed position and the open position, with the slide door moving at a speed having an acceleration side condition;
- and
- an electronic control device that detects a sandwiched condition between the slide door and a portion of the vehicle body during sliding movement of the slide door, said electronic control device detecting the sandwiched condition on the basis of a threshold value which is obtained based on the acceleration side condition of the speed of the slide door.
