Abstract: A sliding door guide, including a rail designed to be fastened against a vertical panel, the rail extending along a longitudinal axis, and a carriage designed to be fastened to the door, the carriage being provided with means for sliding along the rail, the sliding means including a stop opposing the movement of the carriage relative to the rail in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the stop can deform elastically under the effect of a force in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, so as to allow a separation between the carriage and the rail.

Abstract: The device comprises a guide rail (1) having a cross-section in the general shape of a C and fixed to a wall (M) and defining two guide surfaces (8, 9). One of the guide surfaces (8) has a notch (2) with which cooperates at least one roller (G.sub.1) or other rolling or sliding element carried by the door support means (13). The other guide surface cooperates with at least one roller (G.sub.2) or other rolling or sliding element carried by a pivotal arm (21) connected to the door (P). The or each pivotal arm is disposed completely within the rail (1) and operates under compressive stress.
