ABSTRACT:
An exterior swing-out and sliding door for vehicles, especially motor vehicles, in which the door panel travels on a roller carriage along a track on the outer wall of the vehicle approximately between the horizontal midpoint and the lower longitudinal edge of the panel, in which additional guides are positioned in the vicinity of the upper and/or lower longitudinal edge of the door panel, and which has a drive mechanism with a motor that drives by way of a driving roller a continuous, flexible, linear transmission that extends around pulleys, that is fastened at one point along its circumference to the roller carriage, and that has its driving strand positioned along the track. The driving roller, which has a wedge-shaped cross-section, and the transmission, which is a round cable, are entirely outside the outer wall of the vehicle, whereby the driving strand of the transmission is inside the track and its returning strand is immediately adjacent to the track and whereby the driving roller is attached by way of a sealed driveshaft, which extends through the outer wall, to the drive motor, which is located inside the vehicle.
