Disclosed herein is a roller assembly for a sliding panel, the roller assembly including at least one roller sub-assembly having at least one roller wheel, the roller sub-assembly comprising at least one pivotal arm and a roller wheel rotatably mounted to the arm, wherein one end of the arm is configured for pivotally attachment to the support to permit the arm and roller wheel to pivot relative to the support in a vertical plane and the opposite end of the arm has resilient suspension means configured to allow resilient pivotal movement of said opposite end relative to the support when a force is applied to the roller wheel.

An arrangement for guiding at least one movable furniture part includes a guide rail to be mounted on the fixed furniture part, a guide device to be coupled to the movable furniture part, and a preferably substantially cylindrical, load-transmitting rolling body. The guide rail has a guide track, on which the load-transmitting rolling body is mounted in a movable manner. The guide track has a parking position for the load-transmitting rolling body, and the parking position corresponds to an end position of the movable furniture part relative to the fixed furniture part. The load-transmitting rolling body and the guide track are designed such that the guide track can be deformed in this region, a depression being formed in the process, and the load-transmitting rolling body is substantially dimensionally stable.

A rolling device having a bearing housing accommodating a wheel axle carrying a wheel element, axle support members rotatably accommodated in the bearing housing and supporting the wheel axle, end portions of the wheel axle being connected to the axle support members in an eccentric position displaced from the rotational axis/4 line of the axle support members, a drive wheel connected to one of the axle support members for the axle support member to rotate following the rotation of the drive wheel, a first drive motor having a spindle engaged with the drive wheel to rotate the drive wheel and thereby the axle support member relative to the bearing housing, to displace the wheel element by eccentric movement between an extended position where at least a portion of the wheel element projects outside the bearing housing and a retracted position where the wheel element is located inside the bearing housing.

A vehicle roof has a roof opening system comprising a lid element displaceable between a closed and open position displacement kinematics for displacing the lid, each of the displacement kinematics comprising a guide rail, a first and second kinematic unit guided in a guide rail, and a set of drive cables for the kinematic units, the second kinematic unit comprising a tilting lever, to which a gliding element is pivotably connected on which a guide track of a lid carrier of the lid element is guided when the lid element is displaced. The first kinematic unit is driven via a first drive cable by a first drive motor and the second kinematic unit has a control rod which is hinged to the tilting lever and to a drive slide which is driven via a second drive cable by a second drive motor.

Disclosed herein is a sealing assembly for moving a slidable panel for engagement with and disengagement from sealing means, the sealing assembly comprising a linkage assembly which connects a handle and at least one roller assembly having roller wheels, the sealing assembly being configured to be adjustable, by manipulation of the handle, such that the at least one roller assembly and the slidable panel supported thereby are movable between a first position where the slidable panel is in contact with sealing means thereby providing weatherproofing and a second position where the slidable panel is free of the sealing means and the panel is able to move freely relative to an outer frame, and wherein the linkage assembly is configured to as to provide a variable force through the handle when the at least one roller assembly and supported panel is moved between the first and second positions.

Hardware for a lift glide door assembly and lift glide window assembly provides ease of opening with an operational opening assist that urges the door or window to an open position on operation of an opening handle. A lock mechanism actuates a lock pin, blocks opening gear mechanisms from operating and extends a security bolt for locking. A guide blade is provided for assisting the door during opening or closing operations.

A guide system (1) for a sliding door (101) comprises a pair of guides (3, 4) opposite each other to receive the respective opposite edges (103, 104) of a door (101); lifting means (5) for switching the door (101) from a resting position to a sliding position; the lifting means (5) is configured to produce a magnetic field inside one of the guides (3, 4) so as to bring the door (101) from the resting position to the sliding position.

A sliding door guide, including a rail designed to be fastened against a vertical panel, the rail extending along a longitudinal axis, and a carriage designed to be fastened to the door, the carriage being provided with means for sliding along the rail, the sliding means including a stop opposing the movement of the carriage relative to the rail in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the stop can deform elastically under the effect of a force in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, so as to allow a separation between the carriage and the rail.

An apparatus for window is used for moving a movable window plate among an insertion position for being inserted into an aperture portion of a fixed window plate, an extraction position for being extracted from the aperture portion toward an indoor side, and an opening position for being moved from the extraction position in a sliding direction that is different from an inserting and extracting direction to open the aperture portion. The apparatus includes a rotating shaft rotatably supported at a predetermined position for the movable window plate; a movement conversion mechanism configured to convert a rotation of the rotating shaft into a translation of the movable window plate between the insertion position and the extraction position; and a drive shaft, fixed to the rotating shaft, configured to rotate the rotating shaft around a central axis of the rotating shaft by revolving around the central axis of the rotating shaft.

A sliding cover assembly for a vehicle, in particular a waterborne vehicle, the sliding cover assembly having a cover element displaceable between a closed position, in which a roof opening is closed, and an open position, in which the roof opening is at least partially open, and a displacement mechanism for the cover element, the displacement mechanism having a slider on either side of a longitudinal center plane of the cover element, each slider being guided in a sliding manner in a respective guide rail attached to the roof, and a raising lever connected to the cover element being hinged to each slider. The sliders each have a slider body and a control element which is mounted on the slider body in such a manner that it can rotate about an axis of rotation and to which the respective raising lever is hinged eccentrically relative to the axis of rotation.
