  • Patent number: 8256166
    Abstract: The invention relates to an openable roof or openable wall, comprising at least one section (1) extending along a longitudinal axis, each section comprising a plurality of panels (2a, 2) overlapping in pairs along said longitudinal axis, whose longitudinal edge portions (39) are movably received in guide rails (4) for the purpose of opening and closing. Each panel (2, 2a) has, on its second transverse edge portion (38), a first (21) and a second (27) sealing strip, which between them define a gap (28). This gap (28) cooperates with a bottom surface (31) of the inner longitudinal surfaces (14) of the guide rails (4) to form a draining channel (29) along said bottom surface and away from said first sealing strip (21).

  • Patent number: 6553715
    Abstract: A device for turnable and slidable suspension of sheet elements including a coupling member (100) which is supported by a rail and has an elongate groove (101) in essentially the same direction as the rail, and a coupling pin which is non-rotationally arranged on the sheet element coinciding with its pivot axis and which is slidable in the groove of the coupling member. The groove of the coupling member has an inclined lateral cam surface (102) and at least one essentially part-circular recess (104), with a center axis (E) which is essentially parallel to the pivot axis of the sheet element, in the inclined lateral surface (102).

  • Patent number: 6487753
    Abstract: A device for pivotable and slidable suspension of sheets, such as window-panes for glazed verandas or balconies. The device has an upper and a lower rail, which are arranged in parallel with each other. The rails have transversely of their longitudinal direction a hollow section with a longitudinal slot on the side facing the other rail. On each of the sheets, an upper and a lower fixing element are arranged, which via the slots engage the rails. The lower fixing element has in its lowermost portion a spherical part which rests against a sliding surface in the lower rail section to enable both a sliding and a pivoting motion. Both the upper and the lower fixing element are cylindrical in the portion which extends through the slot in each rail.

  • Patent number: 5829204
    Abstract: An arrangement for openable roofs, especially for glazed verandas and balconies. The arrangement is a horizontal supporting section (10) which defines an elongated guiding channel (11) having an elongated side opening (12), and a horizontal roofing panel (20) which is movable in the longitudinal direction of the supporting section (10). The roof panel (20) has a lateral edge (21) that extends into the guide channel (11) of the supporting section (10). A plurality of separate guiding and spacing members (40) are mounted spaced from each other in a direction of the guiding channel (11), on the lateral edge (21), received in the guiding channel (11), and abuts against the inner wall of the guiding channel (11) to thereby ensure that there is a play both upwards and downwards in the side opening (12) between the panel (20) and the supporting section (10). The guiding and spacing members (40) are designed so as to allow a turning movement of the panel (20).
