Having Rotatably Driven Drum And Cable Pulled Thereby In Drive-means Patents (Class 187/328)
  • Patent number: 6684932
    Abstract: In an arrangement for sliding doors, a door leaf comprises a number (n) of interlinked and jointed sections (4:1-4:n) in which adjoining sections are able to rotate around a joint axis (A) from a position in which the sections are in alignment with each other to a relative angled position. The door leaf can slide in the door opening (6) in guides (8, 9), each of which comprising a first and a second interacting guide element (8′, 8″; 9′, 9″) arranged on two opposing end edges (22, 23) of the door leaf and the corresponding sides of the door opening. To obtain a sound insulating door, there is an elastically deformable material between the adjoining and relatively flexible sections (4:1-4:n) to separate the sections from each other.
