An electricity feeding device for a vehicle slide door includes a flexible conductive portion for electrically coupling components in the slide door and the vehicle body. The flexible conductive portion has a curved portion which is fitted in a groove so that at least one portion of the flexible conductive portion is spaced a distance from a wall of the groove. The curved portion moves in the groove in association with movement of the slide door for opening or closing an opening area formed in the side wall of the vehicle body.

Drive device for vehicular slide doors

A vehicular slide door apparatus includes a slide door that is movable along a lengthwise direction of the vehicle body for opening and closing an opening area formed in the lateral side of the vehicle body, a rail secured to the lateral side of the vehicle body to extend in the lengthwise direction of the vehicle body, and a driving device for moving the slide door. The rail possesses first and second side walls and a roller operatively connected to the slide door is slidably fitted in the rail. A guide pipe extends along the rail and is secured to a surface of one of the side walls of the rail to strengthen the rail. A cable passes through the guide pipe in a movable manner and includes one end connected to the driving device and an opposite end connected to the slide door.
