Publication number: 20090265886Abstract: A sliding assembly for a transversal sliding door comprises a positioning unit and a sliding device. One end of the positioning unit serves to assemble with a doorplate; and another end thereof serves to assemble with the sliding device. The sliding device includes a retaining portion and a rolling portion. The rolling portion includes a first combining portion, a second combining portion, a wheel shaft and a contact unit. The first combining portion and the second combining portion serve to clamp the wheel shaft and the contact unit. The contact unit is positioned at an outer side of the wheel shaft; and the wheel shaft is pivoted to the retaining seat. Thereby when the doorplate is pushed, the contact unit will suffer from a force so that the rolling portion will pivotally rotate with respect to the retaining portion so that the doorplate can move transversally.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2008Publication date: October 29, 2009Inventor: Dong-Shiuan Tsai
