  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20070029057
    Abstract: A folding sliding wall has a wall frame with at least one bottom rail and at least one ceiling rail. Carriages are arranged in the bottom and ceiling rails. An individual element or several of the individual elements that are pivotably connected to one another by hinges are provided, wherein the individual element or the several individual elements are arranged in the wall frame so as to be laterally movable within the wall frame. Each individual element has an element frame and a panel arranged in the element frame. A fitting is connected to the element frame and coupled by a bolt to one of the carriages. The fitting is attached to an end face of the element frame.
