Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of sliding door systems. The invention relates to a wheel carriage (300) for a sliding door resting in sliding track (106), comprising wheel connection means (340) adapted to removably connect a wheel shaft (331) at two connection points (341) positioned on each side of a wheel (330). The invention also relates to a method for exchanging the wheels (330) of a wheel carriage (300), by lowering a door panel and replacing the wheels (330), while the wheel carriage (300) is resting in the sliding track (106).
Abstract:
An opening mechanism (1) includes a longitudinal guide (3) fixed to the frame of a furniture unit and, for each door (2), a first slide (4) sliding along the longitudinal guide (3), a second slide (5) which carries the door (2) and which slides transversally on the first slide (4) from a retracted position to an extracted position and vice versa and return elements to bring the second slide (5) back to the retracted position. The second slide (5) is able to rotate with respect to the first slide (4) and presents a curved space (8) in which guide elements (7), integral with the first slide (4). The first slide (4) further includes holding elements (10), controlled by a control surface (51) situated in the longitudinal guide (3), able to lock the second slide (5) in the extracted position when the door (2) is open to prevent the second slide (5) from being brought back to the retracted position by the return elements.
Abstract:
A sliding device (13), guided on the ceiling (3) or under the floor (7) of a cabinet (1) with a rail element (19), which allows a sliding door (15) to be synchronously pulled away from the closet (1) in a parallel manner and then slid. In order to also guide the lower edge of the sliding door (15), the motion of the sliding door can be transmitted from the upper edge of the sliding door to the lower edge by a transmission shaft. No cavities or guide grooves have to be formed on the cabinet (1) or the floor (7), ceiling (9), side walls (3), or partition wall (5) thereof.
Abstract:
A motor-vehicle door with frameless window includes a door structure, a window pane, slidably mounted on the door structure between a lowered position and a raised position, and a regulating device, for controlling movement of the pane. Connected to the pane is a slider member, which engages a respective guide element mounted on the door structure. Operatively set between the slider member and the pane is an elastically deformable member. In its undeformed condition, the deformable member tends to keep the pane in an out-of-tolerance position, more raised and/or set further back with respect to its correct position of assembly on the slider member. Clamping means are provided for adjusting the position of the pane on the slider member so as to compensate, during assembly, the deviation from the nominal design position due to the tolerances of the processes of production of the bodies and the windows.
Abstract:
A cushioning device for opening and closing of sliding shutters, particularly of sliding shutters for furniture, to be applied as a single item to each shutter or sliding partition, in order to be able to cushion an end part of their opening and closing movement. The cushioning device includes a cushioning box applied with brackets for support and sliding of the individual shutter; this box being equipped with two opposing braking devices of a rotary type, whose toothed hub directly meshes with a rack fixed to the box, each braking device being joined to its own slider guided by the box and being joined at one end by an elastic device with its opposite end joined to the other slider, both sliders being equipped with a hook for activating and deactivating the corresponding action of the final section of travel to be cushioned.
Abstract:
Movable partition systems may include a chain guide structure extending along a curved path. The chain guide structure may have a specified maximum width, and may include attachment flanges that project laterally from a central beam beyond laterally outward ends of chain guide members of the chain guide structure by a specified minimum distance. Overhead support systems for movable partition systems may include such chain guide structures. Methods of forming overhead support systems and movable partition systems may include stretch forming a bent chain guide structure. Methods of installing overhead support systems and movable partition systems may include inserting fasteners at least substantially perpendicularly through attachment flanges of a chain guide structure to secure the chain guide structure to an overhead structure.
Abstract:
A roller support assembly is used to support sliding doors, windows or the like. The assembly includes a housing member having spaced apart side walls and interconnecting transverse walls defining a roller receiving zone for receiving and operationally mounting a roller assembly. The roller assembly has a roller body with a rolling peripheral rim and a shaft whereby the roller body is rotatable relative to the shaft having short stub axle parts. The housing side walls including openings that are fully enclosed by the side walls into which the short stub axle parts fit. The housing side walls further include projecting elements extending inwardly from an inner surface of a housing side wall to cooperate with the corresponding roller body side wall surfaces to spay the housing side walls apart as the roller assembly is moved into the roller receiving zone to locate the stub axle parts in the openings.
Abstract:
A vehicle body structure has a first structural member that at least partially defines an upper side of a door opening and a second structural member that extends downward from the first structural member and at least partially defines one side of the door opening. An elongated track member is attached on the first structural member. A sliding door is movably supported on the track member for movement along the track member between a closed position and an open position. A stopper bracket is rigidly attached on the second structural member. The stopper bracket is dimensioned and configured to absorb impacting forces of the sliding door as the sliding door moves from the closed position to the open position. The stopper bracket is rigidly attached to the track member such that the impacting forces are at least partially transmitted to the track member.
Abstract:
A tilt-up door for a building having a relatively wide door opening having a door frame including top and bottom horizontal members and vertical side members connected to the top and bottom horizontal members. The vertical side members can have a horizontally extending pivot shaft tube positioned between the top and bottom horizontal members, and outwardly extending cam followers adjacent to the top horizontal member. U-shaped channels can extend vertically along opposite sides of the door opening with the U-shaped channels facing each other and the door opening. The U-shaped channels can have generally horizontal track members extending from the top edge of the door opening and the horizontal tracks can have a curved cam surface. Carriages each including a horizontal pivot shaft journal can be positioned in the U-shaped channels for vertical movement in the U-shaped channels. Pivot shafts can rotatably connect a pivot shaft tube to a pivot shaft journal with the outwardly extending cam followers engaging one of the cam surfaces. An actuator can be connected to the carriages to move the carriages in the U-shaped channels. The tilt-up door is mounted for vertical movement and for tilting movement about the horizontal axis of the pivot shafts in the door opening when the actuator is operated to move the carriages vertically in the U-shaped channels and the first and second cam followers along the respective cam surfaces to tilt the door to a generally horizontal position as the door is moved vertically upward.
Abstract:
The displacement device serves to hold a separation element, which is pivotally connected to a bracket, which is held slideably by a first beam of a scissor assembly and firmly by a second beam of the scissor assembly with a scissor assembly bearing. The scissor assembly bearing comprises a profile body that is adapted to the bracket and can be connected thereto, which profile body comprises a profile part which is connected articulated to the first end element of an adjusting lever, of which the second end element is connected on the one hand pivotally with the second beam and on the other hand is held by an adjusting bolt, of which the threaded shank is rotatably mounted in a threaded channel of the profile body.
