A door assembly is provided for which can alternate between a pivoting and a sliding configuration. The door assembly can include a door panel, a track, a first carriage assembly, a second carriage assembly, and a locking mechanism. The first and second carriage assembly can connect the door panel to the track. The first and second carriage assemblies can be slidably movable on the track, and the first carriage assembly can further include a pivot mechanism that pivotably couples the door to the track. The locking mechanism can configure the door between the sliding and pivoting configurations. For example, the locking mechanism can mechanically couple the door panel to the second carriage assembly in the sliding configuration and mechanically decouple the door from the second carriage assembly in the pivoting configuration.

An arrangement for spreading apart at least two door leaves which are part of an item of furniture and are hingedly interconnected, from a folded position into a spread-apart position, includes an energy accumulator and a spreading element impinged by the energy accumulator. The spreading element comprises a pivotally supported lever arm with a free end, and a control contour is provided for controlling movement of the spreading element.

A dual function door acts as both a pocket door and a hinged swinging door. A first door panel is hingedly attached to a wall for swinging. A first header rail is attached to the top of the first door panel while a second header rail is attached to an appropriate surface at the same height as the first header rail. A second door panel has rollers that slide within the first header rail. The first door panel is positionable so that the first header rail and the second header rail align allowing the second door panel to also slide within the second header rail. The two header rails can be locked in the aligned position.

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.

The present invention relates to a breakout sliding door system for use in retail and other buildings. The system includes at least one door configured to slide open and closed and also breakout in at least one direction when a force is exerted on the doors in order to, for example, allow customers and employees to exit a building in the event of a fire. The system also includes a leveling system configured to keep at least one door level when it breaks out.

The panel of the panel system is movable and is intended to be positioned and connected between an essentially parallel lower guide and upper guide of the system in order to move the panel on the lower guide. The panel, for example, its lath, includes at least one claw configured to grip the lower guide, which is connected to the panel so the claw is able to move in the vertical direction when the panel is vertical. When pulled away from the panel, the claw may be attached to the lower guide. The claw tends to retract by itself towards the panel, away from the lower guide, which may include a rail to which the claw is attached and on which the panel may rest as it moves along the lower guide. As an extension of the rail may be an auxiliary rail, including, for example, a guide surface.

The invention discloses a synchronous sliding mechanism, a side hidden door system, and a cabinet body with the side hidden door system. The synchronous sliding mechanism comprises a guide rail and a first connecting rod mechanism, wherein the first connecting rod mechanism comprises two sliding ends provided on the guide rail; and when the guide rail reciprocates in a horizontal axial direction, the two sliding ends are close to or far away from each other. Through connection between connecting rods and the guide rail, the guide rail may reciprocate stably and synchronously. The synchronous sliding mechanism is widely suitable for furniture such as door bodies, cabinet bodies and the like, and has an excellent effect.

A horizontally elongated rail is adapted to be mounted with respect to a door opening, and a door assembly is slideably mounted on the rail and is slideable along a generally vertical imaginary plane. The door assembly includes an upper section cooperating with the rail to provide for the slideable mounting of the door assembly on the rail, and a lower section pivotably attached to the upper section at an attached end thereof so as to be pivotable with respect to the upper section about a generally vertical axis from a closed position, in which the upper section and the lower section are generally co-planar, to an open position. A safety release has an engaged position, in which the lower section and the upper section are fixed in the closed position, and a disengaged position, in which the lower section is pivotable to the open position.
