  • Patent number: 11913270
    Abstract: A guide system includes a guide rail for guiding a door wing, a running carriage to be connected to the door wing and displaceably supported along the guide rail, and a carrier on which the running carriage can be arranged. The carrier is movably supported in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the guide rail. The carrier can be moved into a transfer position in which the carrier adjoins the guide rail in the longitudinal direction. A locking device can releasably lock the carrier in the transfer position to restrain a movement in the transverse direction. The locking device includes a movably-supported locking element for releasably locking between the guide rail and the carrier, and a control contour curved so that the running carriage can be moved over a region in the transverse direction. The movably-supported locking element includes a supporting element displaceable along the control contour.

  • Patent number: 11879283
    Abstract: An arrangement includes a rail profile and a running carriage movably mounted relative to the rail profile in the longitudinal direction and to which a sliding door can be fastened. The running carriage has a rolling body, and the rail profile has a running surface extending in the longitudinal direction of the rail profile and supporting the rolling body. The rolling body is displaceable on the running surface transversely to the longitudinal direction of the rail profile. Therefore, the running carriage can be pivoted about a pivot axis extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rail profile. The rail profile has a vertical web extending in the longitudinal direction and oriented substantially perpendicularly to the running surface. The running carriage can be pivoted about the pivot axis such that a distance from the vertical web increases under loading by the sliding door.
