Abstract: The buffer device (10) has a body (11) which can be fitted in a rail (4), a damping element (12) for cushioning, and a retaining spring (13) for retaining a running mechanism (6) which is guided in the rail (4) and is provided for carrying and guiding slidable wing elements (2). The at least approximately U-profile-shaped body (11) of the buffer device (10), which body is punched and bent from a metal element, has a first and a second wing (14; 18), which wings are connected to each other by a central piece (20) whose tongue-shaped extension forms the retaining spring (13) serving to retain the running mechanism (6). The end pieces (17, 19, 26; 17*, 19*) of the wings (14; 18) are configured in such a manner that they are suitable for retaining the damping element (12). The buffer device (10) can be manufactured cost-effectively from a single metal plate and can be completed by a damping element (12).

Abstract: The suspension device which serves to connect a door element (2) to a running mechanism (6) guided in a rail (4) has a securing means (30) which can be connected to the door element (2), and a connecting screw (10) which is provided with a screw head (11) and a shank (12-15), can be fitted into the securing means (30) and screwed into a threaded drill-hole (9) provided in the running mechanism (6). The securing means (30) has two wing elements (32a, 32b) which can be connected to the door element (2) and which are connected by a central piece (33) which is provided with a recess (34) and is bent upward relative to the wing elements (32a, 32b) in such a manner that, after the securing means (30) is installed, the screw head (11) can be guided through under the central piece (33), so that the shank (12-15) can be introduced into the recess (34), which is adjoined by a collar (35) serving to hold the screw head (11).

Abstract: The fixing device which serves for retaining a rail (1), in particular a running or guide rail, has a strip (2) which is provided with an angular profile and can be connected with little outlay on one side to a wall (9) and on the other side to a rail (1). The strip (2) has two limbs (21; 22) which are provided for holding the rail (1), the first limb (21) of which is provided with openings (23) for the passing through of fixing screws (24) which can be connected to the wall (9), and the second limb (22) of which is provided with a T-profile-shaped longitudinal slot (25) which is open towards the rail (1) and serves for holding and for retaining a locking element (3) which preferably has a thread (31) for a mounting screw (32) which can be connected to the rail (1), or is connected fixedly to said mounting screw.

Abstract: Device for connecting a displaceable element, especially a glass, metal or wooden panel to a guiding device that is guided in a rail. The device includes first and second fixing members which each contain outer panels and fitting, elements which can be interconnected by an axle. The fitting elements are inserted into a cutout section on the edge of the displaceable element and interconnected. The fitting elements encompass a connection screw which can be connected to the guide device, the connection screw having a screw shaft with a screw head, a locking element and a thread. The fitting element of the first fixing member has a channel for receiving the screw shaft, the channel having channel walls, a trough for receiving the screw head and a cavity for receiving the securing element. The locking element can be stopped by a stop screw. The fitting element of the second fixing member has a recess for receiving the channel walls and an opening through which the screw head can be accessed.

Abstract: Apparatus for guiding displaceable elements. The apparatus of this invention serves for guiding sliding elements, particularly doors, windows, dividing walls, shutters and coverings, that are slidably journalled on an upper side thereof in a first guide and are guided on a lower side thereof with an additional guide which is in turn connected with the floor or a side wall, with the additional guide including at least one elastic element which is adapted for direct force transfer or force transfer via transfer means, so as to press against the underside of the sliding element, so that the underside of the sliding element is retained by the additional guide free from play, thereby avoiding objectionable noises, both at rest and during displacement of the sliding element.

Abstract: The fitting for sliding doors includes a longitudinal groove extending in its mounted state in the longitudinal direction of the upper edge of the door which groove has two upper flanges covering the groove only partly. This allows a mounting of a sliding door and a hooking thereof onto a runway rail without the need of a lateral clearance.

Abstract: A plate-component (1) which can be used for airborne-sound insulation has chambers (5, 6) filled with a pulverulent or granular, e.g. metallic material, whose chamber walls (2, 3, 4) at least partly are formed by a flexible material. Chambers (5, 6) are small in the vertical direction, but in the horizontal direction can form long channels. This construction not only leads to an increase in the sound insulation of a board joined to component 1 corresponding to an increase in the weight per unit area, but it is also possible to prevent coincidence breakdowns in the range 100-3000 Hz.
