Abstract: Disclosed is a sliding door or window. The sliding door or window includes a door/window frame, a swing fastening mechanism is disposed at a lower end of a side of the door/window frame, and a locking structure is mounted on an upper end of the side of the door/window frame. The swing fastening mechanism and the locking structure are each provided with a snakelike groove inside which a shaft operative to slide along a groove orientation is arranged. A handle disposed on the door/window frame is operative to drive the shaft to slide in the snakelike groove, thereby forcing the swing fastening mechanism or/and the locking structure to swing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for sealing at least one door leaf for a rail vehicle said device having at least one sliding element which is designed to move the door leaf in a z direction of the rail vehicle when it is close to a closed position in order to force a sealing element of the door leaf against a sealing counter-element of a portal of the rail vehicle.

Abstract: A sliding door assembly includes a door panel, a frame that supports the door panel and includes a bottom member with a lower profile and a top member with an upper profile, wherein the lower profile and the upper profile are parallel to one another. A lower sliding assembly is operatively coupled to a bottom of the door panel and engages the lower profile, and an upper sliding assembly is operatively coupled to a top of the door panel and engages the upper profile. A gasket interposes the door panel and a portion of the frame when the door panel is in a sealed position. The door panel is movable between the sealed position, where the gasket creates a sealed interface between the door panel and the frame, and a sliding position, where the door panel is moved laterally relative to the frame while remaining substantially perpendicular to a floor.

Abstract: A swinging-sliding door module for a rail vehicle having at least one swinging-sliding door and a linear guide with a profile rail oriented in the sliding direction of the swinging-sliding door, and a carriage mounted displaceably on the profile rail. The swinging-sliding door module includes a bracket or a plurality of brackets for fastening the swinging-sliding door, which bracket or brackets is/are connected to the at least one carriage or is/are surrounded by the latter. The swinging-sliding door module also has at least one rotary joint which permits rotation of the swinging-sliding door in relation to the profile rail about an axis of rotation oriented substantially horizontally and transversely with respect to the sliding direction and/or about an axis of rotation oriented substantially vertically. Also disclosed is a rail vehicle with a swinging-sliding door module.

Abstract: A system may include a door track, a guide mechanism, and a sequencing mechanism. The door track is mounted to a door. The guide mechanism connects the door to a vehicle body. The guide mechanism may include a first member connected to the door track and a second member connected to the first member for rotation relative to the door track. The first member is movable relative to the door track. The second member may engage a body track in the vehicle body and may be movable relative thereto between a first and second ends of the body track. The sequencing mechanism may include a third member locking the first member relative to the door track when the door is between the intermediate and closed positions and a fourth member locking the second member relative to the body track when the door is between the intermediate and fully open positions.

Abstract: A door including a main frame, a wing and a sealing apparatus which is interposed between main frame and wing when the door is in the closed condition. The sealing apparatus including a gasket extending along the main frame and a movable sealing member supported by the main frame, and exerting a compressive force on the gasket against the wing when the door is in the closed condition. An operating device moves the movable sealing member between an activated position, in which the movable member exerts the compressive force on the gasket, and a disabled condition, in which the movable member removes the compressive force from the gasket. The movable sealing member comprises a sealing counter-frame which extends along the whole perimeter of the main frame and is movable with respect to the wing when the door is in the closed condition, in a direction perpendicular to the door.

Abstract: [OBJECT] To provide a slide door structure of an automobile enabling occupants to get on and off with ease even in a narrow parking space since the door of the automobile can be largely opened and capable of reducing the constraints on the design of the body of the automobile.

Abstract: A vehicle door assembly including front and rear doors which are latched together, and wherein the usual center pillar is integral with the front door. The rear door can be unlatched from the front door and the rear pillar and opened independent of the front door. Rollers on the rear door slide in a bottom track to roll the door along side the rear of the vehicle.

Abstract: Door provided with a door frame, and at least one mobile panel having a top and a bottom. The mobile panel is capable of displacement between a closed position where the mobile panel is in place in the door frame and an open position where the mobile panel is moved aside with respect to the closed position, and the mobile panel passes from one to the other of these two positions by lateral displacement in a lateral direction from the closed plane to the opening plane and sliding in the opening plane.

Abstract: A sliding door mechanism for closing an aperture in a wall comprises an elongate support, a hanger pivotally connected to the support and arranged to be fixed to the door, and an arm on the support extending in the length direction thereof and carrying spaced apart first rollers. A track which, in use, is fixed to the wall, receives the first rollers. A guide rail mounted on the track. Second rollers are mounted on the support for engaging the guide rail. The arrangement is such that, in use, as the door reaches a closed position in which it closes the aperture from an open position in which the aperture is not obstructed by the door, the guide rail and second rollers causes the support to pivot about the contact points of the first rollers with the track and the hanger pivots relative to the support.

Abstract: A vehicle body structure which can provide a wider passenger compartment than conventional sedan-type vehicles. The vehicle has a substantially flat floor which provides extra space and a single integral door opening on each side. The door opening is closed by a front swinging door and a rear sliding door. The rear sliding door support mechanism is adapted to allow the floor to be positioned lower than in conventional van-type vehicles. The front swinging door has upper and lower door lock mechanisms for locking the front door when closed. The rear sliding door support mechanism includes upper and lower guide rails which are respectively adapted to reinforce a roof side rail and a side sill comprising part of a vehicle framework to provide sufficient resistance to bending stresses applied to the framework, thus allowing a center-pillarless body structure.

Abstract: A door includes an elongated bearing rail and at least one door section which is operatively connected to the rail for sliding movement in a direction along the elongation of the rail. The door section is so mounted relative to the rail as to perform transversal movement about an axis extending substantially in parallel to said rail. During the transversal movement of the door section frictional rotation between the bearing rail and the connecting means is precluded.

Abstract: A sliding door assembly comprises a door, a door frame, a horizontal rolling track on the frame, and door-suspension units each having a member movably mounted along the track and a door-suspension lever pivotally connected to the member and to the door. A roller connected to the lever by a toggle joint mechanism coacts with a cam as the door is slid to or from a closed position to pivot the lever and thus raise and unseat the door as it is opened, and lower and seat the door as it is closed.
