Hardware for a lift glide door assembly and lift glide window assembly provides ease of opening with an operational opening assist that urges the door or window to an open position on operation of an opening handle. A lock mechanism actuates a lock pin, blocks opening gear mechanisms from operating and extends a security bolt for locking. A guide blade is provided for assisting the door during opening or closing operations.

In a door fitting with height adjustment for a sliding door panel with a housing in which a support roller is rotatably supported, a sliding door panel lifting member is slidingly supported by guide elements extending from the support base member into inclined guide passages formed in the housing side wails whereby the sliding door panel can be raised or lowered by longitudinal movement of the lifting member relative to the housing, the inclined guide passages are provided with end walls which limit the movement of the guide elements in the inclined passages to limit the height adjustment and an access area is formed at an upper end of each guide passage. Adjustment elements are provided for the movement of the base member relative to the housing.

Disclosed herein is a roller assembly for a sliding panel, the roller assembly including at least one roller sub-assembly having at least one roller wheel, the roller sub-assembly comprising at least one pivotal arm and a roller wheel rotatably mounted to the arm, wherein one end of the arm is configured for pivotally attachment to the support to permit the arm and roller wheel to pivot relative to the support in a vertical plane and the opposite end of the arm has resilient suspension means configured to allow resilient pivotal movement of said opposite end relative to the support when a force is applied to the roller wheel.

A sliding cover assembly for a vehicle, in particular a waterborne vehicle, the sliding cover assembly having a cover element displaceable between a closed position, in which a roof opening is closed, and an open position, in which the roof opening is at least partially open, and a displacement mechanism for the cover element, the displacement mechanism having a slider on either side of a longitudinal center plane of the cover element, each slider being guided in a sliding manner in a respective guide rail attached to the roof, and a raising lever connected to the cover element being hinged to each slider. The sliders each have a slider body and a control element which is mounted on the slider body in such a manner that it can rotate about an axis of rotation and to which the respective raising lever is hinged eccentrically relative to the axis of rotation.

A system for moving a leaf of a slidable lifting door or door-window between a locked lowered closed position, where the insulating element in the leaf is compressed against the floor and hinders sliding, and at least two unlocked raised closed and open positions, between which the leaf is free to slide, includes a guide rail, which can be anchored to a frame above the leaf; a sliding system slidably engaged in the guide rail; a movement system; and an actuator, which can be controlled by a user and engaged with the movement system so that the user can control the movement of the leaf between the locked lowered closed and unlocked raised closed positions exclusively when the leaf is in such positions. The movement and the sliding systems are operatively connected so that the sliding system slidably supports the leaf when in the unlocked raised closed position.

A cabinet includes a cabinet body, a door panel, and an opening and closing mechanism. A slide rail and a first pivoting portion are disposed within the cabinet body. The door panel has a sliding portion and a second pivoting portion, and the sliding portion is rotatably and slidably connected to the slide rail. The opening and closing mechanism includes a linkage member, which has a third pivoting portion pivotally connected to the first pivoting portion and a fourth pivoting portion pivotally connected to the second pivoting portion. Through this structure, the cabinet allows the user to easily open or close the door panel.

A system for moving a leaf of a slidable lifting door or door-window between a locked lowered closed position, where the insulating element in the leaf is compressed against the floor and hinders sliding, and at least two unlocked raised closed and open positions, between which the leaf is free to slide, includes a guide rail, which can be anchored to a frame above the leaf; a sliding system slidably engaged in the guide rail; a movement system; and an actuator, which can be controlled by a user and engaged with the movement system so that the user can control the movement of the leaf between the locked lowered closed and unlocked raised closed positions exclusively when the leaf is in such positions. The movement and the sliding systems are operatively connected so that the sliding system slidably supports the leaf when in the unlocked raised closed position.

A roof system for a vehicle, comprises a movable roof panel for a roof opening. Stationary guide rails slidably guide an operating mechanism that operates the panel. The operating mechanism comprises a first device for moving the panel rear edge towards a raised position and a second device including a lever for moving the panel front edge in a vertical direction. A guiding slide is driven to move the panel both vertically and horizontally through the first and second devices. The lever comprises a first pivotal connection to the panel, and, remote from that spaced second and third connections. The third connection connects the lever to the guiding slide. A fourth connection on the lever is arranged near the third connection and connects the lever to the guiding slide when the third connection is disconnected from the guiding slide during a movement of the front edge of the panel upwardly.

There is disclosed a lift-and-slide handle assembly (10) which includes a drive shaft (28) operatively adapted to couple with a roller actuating assembly of a lift-and-slide roller carriage. The lift-and-slide handle assembly (10) includes an electronic drive assembly (30) operatively adapted to couple with the drive shaft (28) to apply torque to the drive shaft and a manual drive assembly (32) operatively adapted to couple with the drive shaft (28) to apply torque to the drive shaft (28). The lift-and-slide handle assembly (10) further includes an override coupling assembly (34) operatively adapted to decouple the electronic drive assembly (30) from the drive shaft (28) to couple the manual drive assembly (32) to the drive shaft (28).
