Inclined Transverse Movement Patents (Class 49/224)
  • Publication number: 20080202030
    Abstract: The invention relates to a suspension device for at least one sliding door for closing a door opening or window opening. In this suspension device, the sliding door is displaceably mounted by two rollers that roll on at least one roll profile, and when entering the closing area, the sliding door is both displaced in the direction of the door opening as well as lowered. The rollers are arranged in an essentially vertical manner in a position outside of the closing area, and; the rollers, when entering the closing area, laterally tilt out of the vertical. The sliding door, in a pivotal motion about a horizontal axis, which is parallel to the plane of the sliding door, is displaced in the direction of the door opening and lowered.

  • Patent number: 4731950
    Abstract: An improved airtight closing sliding door with contact pressure and integrated one-hand operation which lowers itself in its closed position and thereby hermetically seals the door frame as well as the door sill by way of continuously effective contact pressure whose door leaf is suspended from the cam plate of a carrying shaft, and which is lowered from horizontally to vertically downwards position by turning the carrying shaft.

  • Patent number: 4240226
    Abstract: The device for guiding and actuating a vertical air-tight sliding door is suspended from two carriages each provided with a right-angled support bracket which is capable of horizontal displacement in a slideway. A bent plate which carries the door is rotatably mounted on an elbowed shaft fixed on each carriage. The bent plate carries a roller controlled by a fork and plate assembly which is pivotally mounted on the shaft and actuated by a jack. As the roller reaches the end of the track, the fork and plate assembly is permitted to rotate, with the result that the door carries out a compound movement of downward displacement and application against the wall.
