A carriage slider and rail assembly is disclosed. The assembly may include a linear rail including one or more surfaces that define a channel. The assembly may include a carriage slider sub-assembly. The sub-assembly may include a slider configured to be axially displaceable within the channel of the linear rail. The sub-assembly may include one or more overload protection lobes including a first overload protection lobe positioned adjacent to a first end of the slider and a second overload protection lobe positioned adjacent to a second end of the slider. The sub-assembly may include one or more friction reducing portions. The overload protection lobes may make contact with the channel of the linear rail when an abuse load is applied to provide overload protection. The overload protection lobes may be configured to not make contact with the channel of the linear rail when an abuse load is not applied.

A frame includes sliding panels to cover an opening of a cabinet. The panels are mounted to interlocking stiffeners. Each of the interlocking stiffeners includes a base portion that forms a channel to receive a forward leading edge or a rear leading edge of the panels. The interlocking stiffeners share forces between the panels. A latch assembly may also be engaged to the interlocking stiffener attached to the forward leading edge of the panel. The latch assembly includes a protruding or projecting portion, such as a bullnose, that positions the latch assembly with respect to a side frame member. During a closing operation, the protruding portion enters a channel of the side frame member. The protruding portion engages with the channel of the side frame member, which results in proper alignment for the latch assembly.

The invention relates to a sliding security gate inside a pocket attached to an interior pre-hung hinged door. These pocket sliding security gates can be assembled inside any doorway opening of one's home for the protection of babies, toddlers, pets, and disabled elderly. On one hand, the Pre-Hung Hinged Door and Pocket Sliding Security Gate can be used as a dual functioned component that can be used in a normal setting to provide privacy; on the other hand, the Pre-Hung Hinged Door and Pocket Sliding Security Gate can be used as a half door that is assembled as a pocket sliding security gate to provide safety and security to the vulnerable population listed above. In addition, this pocket sliding security gate also has an alarm attached to the security gate so that when it opens, the alarm sounds to let the gatekeeper know that the security has been breached.

A sliding door and floor guide assembly including a floor guide and at least one door panel including a pin guide assembly, and a guide shoe. The guide shoe has a curved bottom surface and the rail has a corresponding curved upper surface so that the two surfaces can engage one another. The pin guide assembly includes a spring that exerts a downward force to keep the guide shoe and rail in contact with one another. The guide shoe also includes at least one beveled surface adjacent the region where the guide shoe and rail engage. This beveled surface causes debris on the rail to be moved away from the rail when the door is opened or closed so that the debris does not interfere with the operation of the sliding door.

A frame assembly with sliding panels is described. The frame assembly includes a frame having an upper section opposite of a lower section. The lower section of the frame defines a first channel and a second channel. A first sliding panel includes a first lower edge. A first panel support is removably engaged to the first lower edge. The first panel support includes a first holding member that engages to the first lower edge. The first panel support slides in the first channel. A second sliding panel includes a second lower edge. A second panel support is removably engaged to the second lower edge. The second panel support includes a second holding member that engages to the second lower edge. The second panel support slides in the second channel.

In at least some implementations, a motor vehicle window assembly includes a guide rail, a movable pane movable along the guide rail between open and closed positions and a defroster. First and second guide rail conductors are carried by the guide rail and adapted to be connected to a power source. First and second movable conductors are each electrically communicated with a respective one of the first and second guide rail conductors, each electrically coupled to the defroster and each movable with the movable pane relative to guide rail when the movable pane is moved between the open and closed positions. To provide power to the defroster, the movable conductors are in contact with the guide rail conductors when the movable pane is in the closed position and during movement of the movable pane between the open and closed positions.

A structure for preventing a sliding door from swaying includes a rail mounted in a first direction that is a longitudinal direction of a vehicle body, a rail roller unit rollably connected to the rail, a sliding module configured to apply driving power in the first direction to the rail roller unit through a cable, a slider mounted on the rail roller unit, a movement support unit configured to support the sliding door, wherein a first side of the movement support unit is fixed to the sliding door, and a second side of the movement support unit is rollably connected to the slider, and a spindle assembly configured to operate a spindle between the sliding door and the rail to move the sliding door in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

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 slider unit for a roof system of a motor vehicle has a slide body and a mounting unit which has a recess in which the slide body is accommodated. The slide body is mounted in the mounting unit such that, relative to the mounting unit, the slide body is movable in at least two directions in each case limited to a predefined distance and/or is pivotable about two axes limited to a predefined angle.
