A sliding door for a motor vehicle which is movable in a sliding motion into an opened and a closed position is provided with a main lock arrangement by which the sliding door can be fixed in the closed position, and an auxiliary lock arrangement which supplements the holding force of the main lock
A sliding door for a motor vehicle which is movable in a sliding motion into an opened and a closed position is provided with a main lock arrangement by which the sliding door can be fixed in the closed position, and an auxiliary lock arrangement which supplements the holding force of the main lock arrangement when the sliding door is in the closed position. In an improvement over conventional sliding door arrangements of this type, the auxiliary lock arrangement is used not only for supplementing the main lock arrangement when fixing the sliding door in the closed position, but also for fixing the door in the opened position.

What is claimed is: 1. Sliding door arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising: a sliding door which is movable in a sliding motion between an opened position uncovering an opening in a vehicle body and a closed position closing said opening in the vehicle body, inner and outer surfaces of the doo
What is claimed is: 1. Sliding door arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising: a sliding door which is movable in a sliding motion between an opened position uncovering an opening in a vehicle body and a closed position closing said opening in the vehicle body, inner and outer surfaces of the door extending across and covering said opening in said closed position; a main lock arrangement for temporarily fixing the sliding door in the closed position, an auxiliary lock arrangement comprising a latch having a first latch element for supplementing the main lock arrangement when the sliding door is in the closed position, said auxiliary lock arrangement also having a second latch element for fixing the sliding door in the opened position; wherein the first latch element of the auxiliary lock arrangement comprises a recess for engaging an engagement element on the vehicle body in the closed position, said recess having an interior surface facing in a direction substantially perpendicular to said inner and outer surfaces of the door of the door, said interior surface acting to resist any forces imposed on the door perpendicularly to the direction of said sliding motion and in a direction from said inner surface of the door toward said outer surface of the door when the sliding door is in the closed position by engagement of said interior surface of the recess against said engagement element. 2. Sliding door as claimed in claim 1, wherein the main lock arrangement and the auxiliary lock arrangement are located on opposite sides of the sliding door, viewed in the direction of travel, when the sliding door is in the closed position. 3. Sliding door as claimed in claim 1, wherein the main lock arrangement, viewed in a vertical direction, is located in a middle area of the sliding door, and the auxiliary lock arrangement, viewed in the vertical direction, is located in at least one of lower and upper areas of the sliding door. 4. Sliding door as claimed in claim 1, wherein the auxiliary lock arrangement comprises an engagement module having said latch elements, and a second engagement element being provided in addition to the engagement element that engages said recess in the closed position, the second engagement element engaging the second latch element of the engagement module when the sliding door is moved into the opened position for fixing the sliding door in the opened position. 5. Sliding door as claimed in claim 4, wherein the latch is pivotable around a pivot axis and thereby moveable between an open position and a catch position, and wherein a ratchet is assigned to the latch for holding the latch in the catch position and wherein said pivot axis extends parallel to said inner and outer surfaces of the door such that said latch pivots in a plane perpendicular to the inner and outer surfaces of the door. 6. Sliding door as claimed in claim 5, wherein the second latch element is a second recess and wherein the recess for engaging the first engagement element and the second recess for engaging the second engagement element open in opposite directions. 7. Sliding door as claimed in claim 6, wherein the pivot axis of the latch is located between the two recesses and wherein each of the recesses is formed between two fork arms of different length. 8. Sliding door as claimed in claim 7, wherein the latch has a shoulder for engagement with the ratchet, the shoulder being located on one of the arms of one of the two recesses. 9. Sliding door as claimed in claim 6, wherein the second engagement element engages the second recess and presses the latch into the catch position when the sliding door is moved into the opened position, and wherein the engagement element engages the recess and presses the latch into the catch position when the sliding door is moved into the closed position. 10. Sliding door as claimed in claim 5, wherein the two engagement elements, viewed relative to the engagement module, are each located on paths of motion which lead past the pivot axis of the latch when the sliding door is moved into either of the opened position and the closed position into engagement with the engagement module. 11. Sliding door as claimed in claim 5, wherein the latch is essentially point-symmetric with respect to its pivot axis. 12. Sliding door as claimed in claim 5, wherein the latch is the sole latch of the engagement module. 13. Sliding door as claimed in claim 5, further comprising a Bowden cable for raising the ratchet of the engagement module, the ratchet being coupled to a core of the Bowden cable. 14. Sliding door as claimed in claim 5, further comprising a motorized drive for raising the ratchet of the engagement module. 15. Sliding door as claimed in claim 14, wherein the drive has a drive motor and an actuating element, and wherein the actuating element is engageable with the ratchet for motorized lifting of the ratchet. 16. Sliding door as claimed in claim 14, wherein the drive has a drive motor which is coupled to the ratchet via a flexible pulling means for motorized lifting of the ratchet. 17. Sliding door as claimed in claim 1, wherein the engagement elements are one of posts, shackles and cotter pins. 18. Sliding door as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sliding door further comprises a roller arrangement that is guided in a guide rail. 19. Sliding door as claimed in claim 1, wherein the main lock arrangement is equipped with a lock mechanism for implementation of various operating states and wherein the auxiliary lock arrangement is connected to the lock mechanism of the main lock arrangement. 20. Sliding door as claimed in claim 1, wherein the auxiliary lock arrangement is positioned and arranged relative to the main lock arrangement such that first the auxiliary lock arrangement and then the main lock arrangement open when the sliding door is opened out of the closed position. 21. Lock arrangement for the sliding door of a motor vehicle which is movable into an opened and into a closed position by a sliding motion, the lock arrangement comprising: an engagement module, a first engagement element, and a second engagement element, wherein the engagement module engages the first engagement element, in an installed arrangement thereof in a vehicle, when the sliding door is moved into the opened position for latching the sliding door in the opened position, wherein the engagement module engages the second engagement element, in an installed arrangement thereof in a vehicle, when the sliding door is being moved into the closed position for latching the sliding door in the closed position, wherein the engagement module has a latch which is pivotable around a pivot axis between an open position and a catch position and which engages the first engagement element and the second engagement element in respective positions of the door, and a ratchet which engages the latch for holding it in the catch position, wherein the latch has a first fork-shaped part with fork arms of different length on opposite sides of a first recess for engaging the first engagement element and a second fork-shaped part with fork arms of different length on opposite sides of a second recess for engaging the second engagement element, wherein the first and second recesses open and extend in opposite directions such that the arms of the fork-shaped parts are positioned to create an essentially H-shaped form of the latch, wherein the pivot axis of the latch is located between the recesses of the fork-shaped parts and between the fork arms of different length of each of the first and second recesses, and wherein the engagement elements are engageable with a longer of the fork arms of different length for moving the latch into the catch position.
