Abstract:
A sliding door or window (1) comprises: a fixed frame (2); a sash (3) which slides horizontally and which has a perimeter groove (C); a pair of carriages (4, 4a) on which the sash (3) slides and which rest on a track (5); a controlling member (6) mounted on the sash (3), connected to operating means (7) which, when actuated by the controlling member (6), lift the sash (3) from the carriages (4, 4a) so that it can be slid open, and then lower the sash (3) when the sash (3) is returned to the closed position; a first slider (8) slidably fitted in the groove (C) made in an upper horizontal member (9) of the sash (3) and connected to the operating means (7); a first contact element (10) located in the proximity of the first slider (8) and rotatable between a lowered, non-operating position and a raised operating position; drive means (11) acting between the first slider (8) and the first contact element (10) and designed to allow a first position of lifting and stable positioning of the first contact element (10) when the sash (3) moves from the raised configuration to the lowered configuration in such a way as to prevent the sash (3) from being lifted off the fixed frame (2).
Abstract:
A window regulator prevents a carrier plate from derailing from a guide rail by preventing the generation of a force which is applied when the carrier plate and a stopper member collide with each other and which lifts up the carrier plate. In the window regulator, an impact absorption body is installed in a press fitting recess of the carrier plate. The impact absorption body is made of an elastic material for absorbing an impact caused by a collision between the carrier plate and the stopper member that regulates a slide position of the carrier plate. A collision surface formed on the stopper member is tilted toward the carrier plate with respect to a plane that is perpendicular to an axis of the guide rail such that the collision surface pushes the carrier plate down toward the guide rail when it collides with the impact absorbing body.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the suspension of a door leaf of a sliding door in rail-bound, mass transportation vehicles, such as underground railways, passenger train cars, means of local public transportation, and the like. The suspension mechanism includes carrying rollers in a carrying rail arranged in the upper region of the door leaf or above the door leaf. The invention includes a steel insert having an at least substantially circular track inserted into the carrying rail; the carrying rollers are designed as steel rollers having a concave cross-sectional shape on the running surface, and an adjustment roller is provided, which abuts the adjustment surface of the carrying rail opposite of the steel insert under preload.

Abstract:
A guiding system for a sliding door, especially a motor vehicle, comprising a sliding rail (5) with an upper cover (6) and a lower edge (7) arranged opposite the upper cover (6), and a roller element (101) which is guided in the sliding rail (5) and comprises a roller element housing (102) is presented. Three rollers (103, 104) are rotatably fixed to the roller element housing (102), two rollers (103) extending along the upper cover (6) of the sliding rail (5) and the third roller (104) extending along the lower edge (7). The invention creates one such guiding system in such a way that there is no play, it operates quietly, and has a taut system characteristic. To this end, a spring element (109) is fixed to the roller element housing (102), said spring element pressing on of the first two roller (103) and the third roller (104) against the sliding rail (5).
Abstract:
A sliding door system includes a sliding door having an upper roller assembly disposed atop a portion of the door's frame, a lower wheel assembly disposed at a bottom portion of the frame, a channeled upper track, a lower track having at least one convex longitudinal rail configured to receive the lower wheel assembly, and one or more optional panel divider strips. The lower wheel assembly includes a vertical spine having a transverse shaft coupled to a bottom portion thereof, a lower wheel that has a concave contact surface and is rotatably coupled to the transverse shaft, and a transverse latch member disposed vertically below the lower wheel to slidably latch the lower wheel assembly to the lower track as the lower wheel rotates matingly on the convex longitudinal rail.
Abstract:
A sliding glass door has a pair of rollers mounted adjacent the upper corners, which rollers are cantilevered rearwardly and cooperate with a horizontally elongate L-shaped support track which spans horizontally across the door opening and across an adjacent upright wall panel to enable the door to move into an opened position wherein it overlies the adjacent wall panel. The height of the roller-track arrangement and of the structure defining such arrangement, as it extends across the upper edge of the door opening and the adjacent wall panel, is minimized to provide improved aesthetics.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a sliding element, which is suspended and guided on a running track by means of roller carriers or gliding elements, using running track retainers that are connected to a substructure and engage with the underside of the running track. The invention also relates to an anti-removal device, which comprises a locking elements that can be pressed elastically against the running track and that yields when crossed by a running track retainer.
Abstract:
A door element or wall element having lower castors (12) which are movable on a runner (13) is equipped in the region of the castors (12) with a securing member (28) which, by entry of securing hooks (31, 32) into the runner (13), prevents the castors (12) from undesirably lifting off from the runner (13). The securing member (28), which is designed as a simple plastic part, is mounted movably, namely rotatably, on a castor axle (23) of the castor.
Abstract:
A horizontally sliding door includes a resilient retention system that helps hold a door panel tightly against its seals when the door is closed, and resiliently releases the door panel when an external force displaces the panel beyond its normal path of travel. If the door panel is displaced off its normal path, the resilience of the retention system or simply opening and closing the door automatically returns the panel back to normal operation. The resilient retention system can be installed off the floor, so the system avoids creating a tripping hazard and avoids being damaged by nearby vehicles.
