Patent number: 8763205Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2010Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: EKU AGInventors: Heinz Schmidhauser, Christian Schwendener, Walter Gämperle

Patent number: 6687954Abstract: A pulley cradle arrangement for a screen doors, in particular, having a pulley cradle receptacle (23) that is inserted from above into a hollow frame section (1) and is clamped there. The pulley cradle receptacle (23) holds the pulley cradle support (25), inside of which the pulley cradle (27) and its running rollers (28) can be shifted vertically by a knurled screw (89). All parts can be pushed together without the use of tools and snap together by means of elastic holders. The pulley cradle (27) can be removed from the pulley cradle support (25) by pushing on its front surface and thus the sliding door can be removed from the guide rails.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2002Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: EKU AGInventor: Heinz Zingg

Patent number: 5404675Abstract: The upper portion of a panel can be slidably suspended in an elongated guide rail at the underside of an elongated support by connecting the upper portion of the panel with two spaced-apart carriers each of which is provided with an upwardly extending follower including one or more pairs of rollers extending into the interior of the rail from below. The carriers can be separably attached to and are then turnable in bearings which are recessed into the upper portion of the panel, or each carrier can be provided with an anchoring device having one or more knives which penetrate into the material of the panel when a main portion of a carrier is received in a recess of the panel and the anchoring device is thereupon turned relative to its carrier. The overhead support can be provided with clips which releasably hold the panel in either of two end positions and/or with stops which can arrest the panel in a preselected end position relative to the guide rail.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1993Date of Patent: April 11, 1995Assignee: Eku AGInventor: Heinz Schmidhauser
