  • Patent number: 4573286
    Abstract: A device for suspending and guiding an oblique-displacement sliding door, especially for railroad cars, comprises a rolling element which is attached to the door by means of a connecting member (4) and comprises two rollers (Gs, Gi) mounted within a tubular guide track (6). The rolling surfaces (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) of the guide track (6) are located in oppositely-facing relation on each side of the connecting member (4) and at an oblique angle with respect to this latter. The profiles of the two rolling surfaces and of the two rollers are adapted to each other so as to prevent translational displacement of the rolling element (2) in a plane transverse to the guide track (6).
