  • Publication number: 20160076293
    Abstract: A system and a soft closing device installed over a track of a storage unit for preventing a closable component such as a sliding door, a movable shelf or a drawer, movable over this track from forcefully slamming against a frame wall of the storage unit. The system or soft closing device each comprises at least one guiding member having two opposite slopes creating a peak for forcing the closable component to ascend once reaching the soft closing device and thereby slow down its movement. The system or the device may optionally also include a buffer member for further buffering the closable component.

  • Publication number: 20150337582
    Abstract: An engagement mechanism of a hanging sliding door including a roller for rolling along a lower track; a connector for connecting the engagement mechanism to the respective sliding door, where the connector includes a supporting portion and an extended portion allowing holding the roller at a predefined distance from the respective sliding door; and an elastic member such as a spring connected to the roller in a manner that allows the roller to move along an axis of the elastic member that is substantially perpendicular to the sliding door tracks. The extended portion includes a holding member for holding the elastic member there-above in a manner that allows the elastic member to apply force from below the roller towards the lower track located above the roller for maintaining engagement between the roller and the lower track throughout the sliding movement thereof.

  • Patent number: 8814282
    Abstract: A system of ejecting a sliding door of a closet, comprising a plurality of ejection assemblies and a connecting mechanism, which connects one assembly to the other. Each ejection assembly comprises a rail and a slidable member configured to slide along the rail, where the rail engages with a frame of the closet. The connecting mechanism allows synchronizing the ejection force applied upon the door at different locations of the door, by connecting the ejection assemblies through the connecting mechanism. This configuration allows ejecting and retrieving of the door outwardly and inwardly by sliding the slidable member of each assembly along the rail.

  • Patent number: 8745925
    Abstract: An automated coupling mechanism for sliding doors that are movably mounted upon a storage unit. The coupling mechanism may comprise a rotating mechanism comprising a rotating member, and connecting unit. The storage unit may comprise at least one outer sliding door and at least one inner sliding door comprising an upper track, where the connecting unit connect the rotating mechanism to the outer sliding door. The rotating member and the track may be made from material of substantially high friction coefficient to enable the rotating member to move the inner sliding door along the track when rotated. The connecting unit, which are connect the rotating mechanism to the outer sliding door, may enable the outer sliding door to move in the opposite direction of the inner sliding door, whereby the inner sliding door is moved by the rotating mechanism as a physical counteraction.

  • Patent number: 8096629
    Abstract: Presented herein is a novel sliding door system that that enables adjustment of at least two sliding doors relative to each other such that surfaces of the sliding doors create a substantially flush surface a support onto which the sliding door mechanism is mounted. The system includes at least one inner and outer sliding door slidably coupled to corresponding guide rails. The guide rail that is coupled to the outer sliding door is selectably moveable by a sliding door mechanism between a first and a second position. In the first position, a user can slide outer and inner sliding doors along said guide rails, whereas in the second position, a surface of the outer sliding door is substantially flush with a surface of said inner sliding door.

  • Patent number: 7594358
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new sliding assembly for a sliding closure. The present invention is constructed of two metal profiles mounted on each side wall of sliding closure and guiding bars for sliding on said rail. The profiles design includes a rail which length, is adjusted to the sliding closure height. The lower sliding bar is attached to a roller, which slides along the lower track of the closure. The second sliding bar is attached to the guiding bar for sliding along the upper track of the closure. An elastic stretching means connects between the lower sliding bar and the profile.
