A sliding screen system for a sliding screen includes a linear slide bar and at least one sliding member. The linear slide bar has a slide surface coated with a lacquer including a resin. The lacquer is in turn at least partly coated with a lipophilic composition coating. The lipophilic composition coating provides a slide layer on the slide bar with low friction. The sliding system is arranged to support a sliding screen, such as a sliding door or a sliding curtain, connected to the sliding member to allow for linear movement of the sliding screen along the longitudinal axis of the linear slide bar.

A profiled rolling apparatus for lowering rolling resistance in track-guided, load-bearing movement applications. The rolling body, as part of a track roller, cam follower, caster wheel, or the like, has a radial groove (e.g. a V-shape with some internal angle) on which a non-linear profile is implemented. Profiles for various embodiments may be, but are not limited to, circular arcs, polynomials or other mathematical functions, or made up of multiple shorter linear and/or arc segments, creating a convex or concave contour on either side of the groove. Such crowning profiles may additionally or alternatively be implemented on the guiding track.

A sliding door assembly includes an upper track assembly; a lower track assembly; a sliding door laterally slidable along each of the upper track assembly and the lower track assembly, the sliding door comprising a door body, an upper locking pin, and a lower locking pin, the sliding door configurable in a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration; and an actuator operatively connected to each of the upper locking pin and the lower locking pin; wherein, in the locked configuration, the actuator simultaneously engages the upper locking pin with the upper track assembly and the lower locking pin with the lower track assembly to prohibit the sliding door from opening, and in the unlocked configuration, the actuator simultaneously retracts the upper locking pin from the upper track assembly and the lower locking pin from the lower track assembly to allow the sliding door to open.

A sliding door system includes an upper track; a lower track; a first sliding door comprising a first upper locking pin, a first lower locking assembly, and a first pivot assembly, the first pivot assembly engaging the upper track and the lower track, the first upper locking pin removably engaging the upper track, and the first lower locking assembly removably engaging the lower track; and a second sliding door comprising a second upper locking pin, a second lower locking assembly, and a second pivot assembly, the second pivot assembly engaging the upper track and the lower track, the second upper locking pin removably engaging the upper track, and the second lower locking assembly removably engaging the lower track.

Examples provide a door assembly including a sliding door carrier unit having a disengagement mechanism for utilization within a vehicle cabin. The door assembly includes a sliding door movably mounted to a door support member of a seat unit. The door slides laterally between a fully retracted position and a deployed or partially deployed position. A decoupling latch is engaged to detach the sliding door from one or more slide units on the door support member. An auxiliary slide device includes at least one guide and guide profile to support the door and enable the door to return to the retracted position after the door is decoupled from the slide unit in a backup operational mode. The decoupling mechanism enables a user to return the sliding door to a fully retracted position after a failure of the slide units to operate in a normal operational mode.

A slide member having a slide surface coated with a lacquer comprising a resin. The lacquer is in turn at least partly coated with a lipophilic composition coating. The lipophilic composition coating provides a slide layer on the slide member with low friction.

A guide assembly for a sliding shower door is provided with a bracket sized to be fastened to a shower door opening. The bracket has a first lengthwise retainer. A guide with a second lengthwise retainer is sized to be retained by the first lengthwise retainer of the bracket. The guide has at least one channel formed therein and is sized to receive a shower door pane within the channel for translation of the shower door pane relative to the guide.

A retractable sliding door (10) with automatic alignment to the wall (12) during the closing phase, suitable to alternately open and close a through space (14) made along said wall, comprising a lower guide (18) fixed to the floor and an upper guide (20) forming a support beam. In the upper guide (20) paired prominences (50, 52) and (60) are made constituting the sliding tracks of two or more pairs of wheels (54) and single wheels (58) borne by a shaft (56) and combined with a frame (62) to form a carriage. The lower guide (18) interacts with a roller (24) suitable to fit into a shaped channel with a mixed-line extension (26) made along the lower head of the door (10); the upper guide (20) is provided with a shaped channel (78) having the same and parallel mixed-line configuration as said shaped channel (26). The upper head of the door (10) being provided with means for its suspension to the frame (62) constituting the carriage.

Examples provide a door assembly including a dual operation slide device for a sliding privacy door associated with a seat unit. The door assembly includes a sliding door movably mounted to a door support member of a seat unit. The door slides laterally between a retracted position and a deployed or partially deployed position. The dual operation slide device includes a trigger and release mechanism for switching the door assembly from a primary track system used during a normal operation mode to a secondary track system used during a backup operation mode if the primary track becomes jammed or otherwise malfunctions based on manual activation of a release lever or force applied activation. The dual operation slide device enables a user to return the sliding door to a retracted position after a failure of the primary slide units to operate in the normal operational mode.
