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.

The invention relates to a drive device for driving an element, having the following: a toothed belt drive with a toothed belt, a frame element which forms two opposite connection plates and a connection wall that connects the two connection plates together, at least three elongated force driving elements which are secured to the toothed belt and are aligned parallel to the width (B) of the toothed belt and parallel to one another and which are arranged within the frame element, wherein a central force driving element is rotationally fixed to the two connection plates, and the end sections of each adjacent outer force driving element extend through curved elongated holes of the connection plate, whereby the outer force driving element can be pivoted and the end faces of the outer force driving elements have cylindrical projections, which are designed as axle stubs and each of which has a roller, outside of one of the connection plates, a toothed disc with tooth recesses for catching teeth of the toothed belt and force driving element recesses for catching the force driving elements, a non-linear guide path, at least some sections of which run parallel to the extension of the toothed belt and in which the rollers arranged on the outer force driving elements are guided, and a drive means which is connected to the frame element and is used to connect to the element to be driven.

A sliding window assembly includes a frame with a track, and a sliding window portion disposed in the frame and displaceable in the track between a closed position and an open position. The sliding window portion includes a handle pivotable between a lock position and a slide position, and a driving pin coupled with the handle and engaging the track. The driving pin defines a pivot axis for the handle. A guide pin spaced from the driving pin is selectively engageable with the track when the handle is pivoted from the lock position to the slide position. With the handle in the slide position, the sliding window portion is displaceable from its closed position to an open position.

Provided is a sliding door device which is capable of retracting a sliding door diagonally. Such a sliding door device 1 includes rails 7a and 7b for guiding the sliding door 2 to move in a retracting direction A from an open position to a closed position with respect to a main body 3 and guiding the sliding door 2 to move forward or backward in a front view of the sliding door 2 until reaching the closed position, a rod-shaped trigger 8 provided on one of the main body 3 and the sliding door 2, and a retracting device 9′ provided on the other of the main body 3 and the sliding door 2 and retracting the trigger 8 while sliding in an axial direction D of the trigger 8 so that the sliding door 2 can move forward or backward.

A dual lower rail structure for opposite sliding doors is provided. The dual lower rail structure includes a first lower rail mounted in a longitudinal direction at a lower side of a vehicle body, a second lower rail mounted in a longitudinal direction on a vehicle body at one side of the first lower rail, a first lower rail roller unit rollably connected to the first lower rail, a second lower rail roller unit having one end rollably connected to the second lower rail, and the other end connected to a sliding door, and a lower rail swing arm rotatably connected to the first lower rail roller unit and the sliding door.
