A method is described for preventing the derailment of a wheel (30) which can roll on a track (22) and is pivoted on a carriage which supports translatably a leaf (20) of a piece of furniture, comprising the steps of (i) inseparably mounting on the track (22) a slider (50) which can translate on the track (22) independently of the carriage, and (ii) constraining the slider (50) to at least one of the wheel (30), the carriage or the leaf (20) to keep the wheel (30) in condition of rolling on the track (22) without derailing.

A simple and effective way is achieved to anchor the wheel to the track.

A guide carriage for displaceably supporting a furniture part on a guide rail, includes a chassis having at least one pivotally mounted running wheel and at least one connecting portion for connecting the guide carriage to the furniture part. At least one positioning device is provided for positioning the connecting portion relative to the chassis in at least one linear direction.

A hinge assembly for a folding closure includes a plurality of elongated, planar panels, each of which has a pair of parallel sides, and flanges on each side with the flanges on one side extending in one direction perpendicular to a plane of the panel and the flanges on the other side extending in a second direction opposite to the one direction; and a hinge for pivotally connecting panels in side by side relationship to each other, the hinge including an elongated body having a generally triangular cross section, generally C-shaped grooves extending the length of the body proximate two adjacent corners of the body, the grooves opening in opposite directions for receiving the flanges of adjacent panels and permitting rotation of the panels about a longitudinal axis of the hinge between closure open and closed position, and opposed stops at the open outer ends of the grooves for limiting rotation of the panels between the open and closed position.

A shower door sliding mechanism is disclosed, the shower door sliding mechanism including a track component disposed in a fastening manner, a movable door piece, a pulley component, and a flexible closer component which comprises a fastening bracket and a flexible closer, the track component comprises a track having a longitudinal passage. The longitudinal passage includes a positioning component receiving groove and a sliding groove. A glass clamp component is disposed at a top of the movable door piece, and the top of the glass clamp component is connected to a threaded hole in the pulley component by using an adjusting screw, so that the movable door piece is integrally suspended directly below the flexible closer component and the pulley component. The inner space of the track can be fully utilized to reduce the height of the track and reduce the weight and manufacturing costs of the track.

A pivot sliding door guiding device includes a longitudinal profile with a guiding track and slider, supported on support rollers in a linearly movable manner in the guiding track, and which is connected to a door leaf and transfers a bearing load onto the slider. In the guiding track, convex bearing members extending in the longitudinal direction are disposed, on which support rollers of the slider with, in each case, peripherally extending concave guiding grooves roll and are retained in the transverse direction. The door leaf is connected to the slider whereby a center of gravity acts off-center on the slider in running and transverse directions. The slider has support rollers which serve for the load transfer of the load acting from the door leaf on the slider. The rollers roll on upper and lower convex bearing members, and transfer load of the door leaf via the convex bearing members.

A sliding door includes a door panel that has a first face, a second face that is opposite to the first face, and a top edge that defines first and second raised portions of the door panel and an open space that extends between the first and second raised portions. The sliding door includes a plurality of rollers affixed to the door panel by first and second mounting assemblies. Each of the plurality of rollers has an axis of rotation that is normal to the first face of the door panel. The sliding door includes a soft-close assembly secured to the first and second mounting assemblies at opposing ends thereof, such that the soft-close assembly is positioned within the open space between the first raised portion of the door panel and the second raised portion of the door panel.

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, wherein at least two mounting devices are provided for realizing respectively one mounting function of the roller carriage. Each mounting device includes at least one mounting element with a manipulation interface for applying a mounting force for performing a mounting movement of the mounting element. The manipulation interfaces of the mounting elements of the at least two mounting devices are disposed on a first side of the roller carriage, and a bearing device of the roller module for the displaceable affixing at the roller running path is disposed on the opposing second side of the roller carriage.

The sliding door system includes a sliding door, displaceable along a running rail relative to a stationary activation member up to a closing position; which includes a door leaf equipped with an activatable sealing device including an extractable sealing strip and actuating element equipped with a transmission device including a transmission element; and includes at least two carriages, including a carriage body and running elements connected to the door leaf, and are held in the running rail displaceable in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the running rail; wherein the activation member and transmission device are arranged so that, when the sliding door enters the closing position, a force can be transmitted from the activation member via the transmission element to the actuating element in order to drive out the sealing strip. A stationary buffer device stops the sliding door in the closing position and includes the activation member.

According to an embodiment herein, a door eccentric assembly (100) is disclosed. The door eccentric assembly (100) includes a door eccentric (102) with an eccentric hole (103). The door eccentric assembly (100) is connected with a bogie (202) of a bogie assembly (200) and the bogie assembly (200) is configured to connect with a door leaf (302) through the eccentric hole (103) positioned at an offset from the central axis of the door eccentric (102).

A sliding door assembly includes a door frame with a top trim member, a bottom sill, and side jambs connected between the top trim member and the bottom sill, and a primary sliding panel secured in the door frame. The top trim member includes a track configured to support a weight of the primary sliding panel and prevent the primary sliding panel from coming off the track. Other features include an interlock mechanism to limit relative movement using multiple sliding doors and a brake mechanism to secure the doors in position when the door handle is released. A drop window includes features to accommodate for manufacturing tolerances and box frame assemblies that are out of square.
