Abstract
A tilting lever is mounted between a pivotal guide head and one side of a sliding door for a vehicle. The tilting lever is made of two angularly spaced arms with abutment surfaces at one end. The abutment surfaces engage with abutment surfaces and cam surfaces on the guide head and sliding door so as to hold the tilting lever in one of two positions. In one position the guide head is prevented from pivoting, while in the other position the sliding door is prevented from sliding. The guide head and sliding door are mounted together on a supporting arm pivoted to the body of the vehicle whereby the sliding door is first moved to an intermediate position and then to an open position.
