  • Publication number: 20220154521
    Abstract: A slide-and-swing wing system includes at least one rail profile. At least two wings, each displaceably mounted in the at least one rail profile via two support elements The at least one rail profile has a lateral outlet opening for unlatching a support element of a wing. One wing functions as a door leaf which, with all other wings in the latched state, is pivotable into the remaining opening. A closure mechanism makes it possible to prevent the door leaf from being opened and includes a drive, and also an operating part, via which the drive can be actuated. The door leaf is displaceable, via the drive, in the rail profile in the direction of the adjacent wing to such an extent that no support element of the door leaf is aligned with the outlet opening, thereby preventing a support element from coming out through the lateral outlet opening.

  • Patent number: 10119315
    Abstract: A slide and swing leaf/sash system includes a floor rail profile and a ceiling rail profile which are each C-shaped and in which at least two leaves/sashes arranged therebetween are displaceably guided, which leaves/sashes are mounted at least in each case by at least one carriage in the floor rail profile in such a way that, in the swiveled-in state of the leaves/sashes, the weight load of the leaves/sashes is completely absorbed by the floor rail profile. At least one lateral outlet opening for releasing a leaf/sash is arranged in the floor rail profile, a lifting runner, which is arranged above the floor rail profile, being mounted on at least one leaf/sash, a ramp element being arranged on the floor rail adjacent to at least one outlet opening and interacting with the lifting runner in such a way that the leaf/sash is raised on passing the ramp element.

  • Publication number: 20140130417
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding and swinging door system, comprising a rail profile in which at least two door leaves are mounted so as to be displaceable by way of two support elements, and which profile is provided with an expanding clamp for receiving a locking element disposed on a door leaf, in each instance, wherein at least one lateral outlet opening for release of a support element of a door leaf is disposed in the rail profile, at a distance from the expanding clamp, wherein at least one support part (6) is disposed on the rail profile (1), which part interacts with a pressure part (7) disposed on a door leaf (3), in each instance, in such a manner that when a support element (4) of a door leaf (3) is released, lateral tilting of the door leaf (3) is prevented, as long as the locking element (5) has not reached its stop point in the expanding clamp (2).

  • Patent number: 8109315
    Abstract: An accordion partition has a pair of panels having adjacent vertical inner and outer side edges interconnected by a hinge. Horizontal and generally parallel upper ceiling and lower floor tracks extend above and below the pair of panels, and upper and lower trolley hardware on each of the panels rides in the respective tracks so that the panels can move horizontally relative to one another. Respective latches on each of the outer edges can move between locked positions engaged in one of the tracks and an unlocked position clear of the one track. Coupling elements on both of the latches interengage only in the extended use position for shifting both of the latches synchronously between the respective locked and unlocked positions. An actuator on only one of the latches manually shifts the one latch between the locked and unlocked position.
