A system has a weight having a base that has at least one pair of rollers provided at the rear end of the base, and a track having a wheel or rollers provided adjacent the front end of the track. The base travels along the track between a first position where the at least one pair of rollers is at the rear end of the track, and a second position where the at least one pair of rollers is adjacent the wheel or rollers of the track, with the track functioning as a stop element to limit the frontward motion of the at least one pair of rollers.

A sliding screen door assembly is disclosed. This sliding screen door assembly includes a door panel having an outer frame and a screen portion. A sliding assembly slidably couples an upper portion of the outer frame of the door panel to a portion of a wall adjacent a doorway and the sliding assembly facilitates a horizontal sliding of the door panel relative the doorway between a closed position in which the door panel substantially covers the doorway and an open position in which the door panel is located substantially to a side of the doorway. A first barrier member is located above the sliding assembly and a second barrier member is located below the sliding assembly.

A magnetically levitating door is disclosed herein. The door may have a bracket having a magnet that is repelled from a magnet of a track. The magnet field of the bracket and the magnet field of the track may have different widths. The track may be disposed adjacent to a door opening. The bracket may have a guard in slidable engagement with the track to limit lateral movement of the magnet of the bracket disposed above and repelling the magnet of the track to levitate the door off of the track while preventing excessive lateral forces on the guard. The bracket may have at least one guide in slidable engagement with the track to secure the engagement of the bracket to the track and maintain vertical alignment of the bracket to the track.

A sliding closing element for a sliding closing element arrangement of a vehicle, the sliding closing element arrangement comprising at least one rail that is adapted for slidably supporting the sliding closing element, the sliding closing element comprising at least one fail safe sliding arm assembly with at least one bogie support arm and at least one safety arm, the at least one bogie support arm comprising at least one bogie assembly with at least one guide roller that is adapted for rolling along the at least one rail in operation, and the at least one safety arm being adapted for retaining the at least one fail safe sliding arm assembly on the at least one rail in case of a failure of the at least one bogie support arm.

A door suspension device includes a driving-side member, a hanger, an elastic member, pressed door rollers, and linking mechanisms. The driving-side member is displaceable in an opening direction and a closing direction when a drive force is imparted from an opening and closing drive mechanism. The hanger is displaced in conjunction with a displacement of the driving-side member and supports a door. The elastic member allows relative displacements of the driving-side member and the hanger by elastically deforming in accordance with a load that acts between the driving-side member and the hanger. The linking mechanisms convert a relative displacement operation of the driving-side member and the hanger into an operation in which the pressed door rollers are pressed against an upper rail.

A slidable pane system includes a slidable pane, at least one track, and a conductor. The slidable pane has an electrically adjustable optical characteristic in response to at least one signal. The at least one track defines the sliding path of the slidable pane. The conductor has an adjustable length along the sliding path of the slidable pane and is electrically coupled to the slidable pane to bridge at least one of the at least one signal or power to the slidable pane.

An adjustable sliding privacy screen for a premium class passenger suite may include a guide rail mounted to a wall partition. The adjustable sliding privacy screen may also include a yaw and roll adjustment bracket slidingly attached to the guide rail and to the screen. The yaw and roll adjustment bracket may include a flanged adjustment screw for adjusting the yaw and roll of the screen and a locking screw for securing the yaw and roll adjustment of the screen. The screen may also include a ball joint adjustment bracket slidingly attached to the guide rail and to the screen. The ball joint adjustment bracket may include a ball joint and adjustment screw for adjusting the pitch of the screen and a locking nut for securing the pitch adjustment of the screen. The device of the present invention thus allows for the adjustment of the yaw, roll, and pitch of the screen.

A roller carriage for the reception of a sliding door includes a roller module for the displaceable affixing at a roller running path and a basic body for the attachment to the sliding door. The basic body is supported at the roller module to be displaceable along a direction of gravity (SKR) for a fine-tuning movement, wherein a first adjusting component for an adjusting movement is supported at the basic body to be movable. For a movement of the basic body along a direction of gravity in relation to the roller module when performing the adjusting movement, the first adjusting component is in operative connection with a second adjusting component of the roller module.

A sliding door arrangement with a sliding door, a rail guiding a sliding motion of the door, and an attenuation and retraction device. The attenuation and retraction device includes a lid with a slot that is open towards the rail. The door includes a pin having an end adapted to enter the slot for interacting with attenuation and retraction device when the pin reaches an entry point of the attenuation and retraction device. The lid includes ramp portion adapted to interact with the pin such that the pin reaches further into the slot after passing the entry point as the door approaches an end position.

A sliding door for use with a rail system, having a rail, which guides a sliding motion of the door, and an attenuation and retraction device, which brakes the sliding motion of the door at a brake position in the vicinity of a door end position and retracts the door to the end position. The sliding door includes a pin, which is slideably attached to the door, slideable between a pin retracted position and a pin extended position, a tip of the pin interacting with the attenuation and retraction device. The door further includes a wheel carried by a wheel holder, which is arranged to move the wheel between a wheel retracted position and a wheel extended position. A transmission mechanism interconnects the wheel holder and the pin such that a movement of the wheel, towards the wheel extended position, urges the pin towards the pin extended position.
