A locking structure can be used for a rectilinear center rail for opposite sliding doors. A rectilinear center rail mounted in a longitudinal direction on a sliding door, a center roller unit rollably connected to the center rail, and a swing bracket rotatably connected to the center roller unit and a vehicle body. The center roller unit includes a first rotating member and a second rotating member, a first catcher formed on the center rail to hinder a movement of the center roller unit, a second catcher formed on the swing bracket to assist a movement of the center roller unit, and a first lever configured to be locked by or unlocked from the first catcher and a second lever configured to be locked by or unlocked from the second catcher are connected to the second rotating member.

A multi-panel privacy screen assembly adapted to be deployed between laterally-adjacent passenger seats. The assembly includes an overhead beam having a plurality of tracks, a plurality of hanging panels, a plurality of coupling members suspending each of the plurality of hanging panels from the overhead beam, each coupling member coupled to one of the plurality of hanging panels, to one of a plurality of driven cables, and having rollers rollable along at least one of the plurality of tracks, and a drive mechanism including an intermittent gear assembly operable for driving the plurality of driven cables to move the plurality of hanging panels along at least one of the plurality of tracks according to predetermined deployment sequence.

A rear slider window assembly for a vehicle includes a movable window panel that is movable along upper and lower rails of a fixed window panel. The lower rail includes a water drainage element having (i) a hole established through the lower rail and (ii) a drainage receiving conduit attached at the fixed window panel beneath the hole of the lower rail and spaced from the lower rail. The drainage receiving conduit includes a receiving portion disposed below the opening to receive water from the opening and a guiding portion to guide received water toward an exit of the drainage receiving conduit. The drainage receiving conduit provides a passageway for water to flow from the lower rail, through the hole of the lower rail, and into the drainage receiving conduit, which drains the water exterior the rear slider window assembly.

A tilt and slide apparatus for a sunroof of a vehicle includes a movable panel, a drive shoe configured to slide in a forward/rearward direction relative to the front of the vehicle, a lift guide connected to an end of the movable panel, and a check assembly. The check assembly couples the drive shoe and the lift guide when the drive shoe is slid in the forward direction to the lift guide. The check assembly includes a pin that extends through the mechanical lock, a receptacle coupled to the drive shoe. The pin passes into the receptacle when the drive shoe moves toward the lift guide.

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a housing defining an opening, a driving actuator, a slide door moveable to selectively cover and expose the opening, a link connecting the slide door and the driving actuator, the link linearly moveable in accordance with a driving operation of the driving actuator to move the slide door, a forcible open blocker that is moveable to restrict opening of the slide door when the opening is closed, and to release blockage of the opening of the slide door based on a linear movement of the link, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including: receiving an external input signal and identify whether to expose or cover the opening based on the external input signal, and activating the driving actuator to expose or cover the opening according to a result of the identification.

In example implementations, a track system of a vertically stacking door includes a vertical track, a track coupling coupled to the vertical track, a first curved track portion coupled to the track coupling, a second curved track portion coupled to the track coupling, and a ramp coupled to the vertical track. The ramp interacts with a cam lever to separate adjacent panels of the vertically stacking door.

A bathroom management apparatus is provided which can minimize the likelihood of door-sliding components being seen from the outside. The bathroom management apparatus may include a cabinet forming an interior space whose front is open; a first dividing plate provided within the cabinet and dividing the interior space; a second dividing plate provided within the cabinet in parallel with the first dividing plate and dividing the interior space, and forming a storage chamber in the space between the first and second dividing plates; and a door slidably installed on the first dividing plate and second dividing plate and opening and closing the storage chamber.

A universal sliding door system that is configured to facilitate installation in either a slide right to open (SRO) orientation or a slide left to open (SLO) orientation. In some embodiments, a track is attached to a header by a pivot connector that allows the track to be pivoted up or down so that the track can be easily oriented at an appropriate angle for the desired opening orientation. The header and track may also each include a first set of openings configured to allow the track to be easily installed in a SRO orientation and a second set of openings configured to allow the track to be easily installed in a SLO orientation. Other components of the door system, such as the door and the vertical casing members may also include features configured to allow the components to easily be installed in either opening orientation.
