A sliding door system including a wall cavity between a first wall lining and a second wall lining, a door frame adjacent the wall cavity, a guide extending across the top of the door frame and the top of the cavity, and a door panel suspended from carrying means supported by the guide, the guide including a plate, and two wings extending from the plate to define a cavity between the wings and the plate, characterised in that the cavity is closer to a second end of the plate than it is to a first end of the plate and that the distance from the door panel to the first wall lining is greater than the distance from the door panel to the second wall lining.

The invention relates to a sliding door arrangement for a freezer cabinet, comprising a door frame (1), at least one sliding door (2), wherein the sliding door (2) is movable along the frame plane between an open position and a closed position, and a guiding device (3), wherein the guiding device (2) comprises roller arrangements (4) each with a first roller axis (5) and at least one guiding element (6) guiding the movement of the sliding door (2), characterized in that the guiding device (3) is designed in such a manner that the sliding door (2) moves transversely to the frame plane during a movement from the open position to the closed position, for which purpose the guiding element (6) has a parallel portion (7) and an end portion (8), and the roller arrangements (4) each have at least one further roller axis (9).

The invention relates to electrically switchable motor vehicle glazing, such as a side or rear window pane of a motor vehicle, wherein at least one optical property can be changed by feeding an electrical signal through a line arranged on a window-pane holder of the motor-vehicle glazing, wherein an open-loop or closed-loop control unit for feeding the electrical signal is provided in a housing, which is arranged in a stationary manner in relation to a motor-vehicle body.

The invention relates to a sliding door arrangement for a freezer cabinet, comprising a door frame, at least one sliding door, wherein the sliding door is movable along the frame plane between an open position and a closed position, and a guiding device. The guiding device comprises roller arrangements each with a first roller axis and at least one guiding element guiding the movement of the sliding door. The sliding door arrangement is characterized in that the guiding device is designed in such a manner that the sliding door moves transversely to the frame plane during a movement from the open position to the closed position, for which purpose, the guiding element has a parallel portion and an end portion, and the roller arrangements each have at least one further roller axis.

The hinge assembly comprises a housing for mounting on a cabinet and a post member for mounting on a door and for rotation relative to the housing. A first electrical contact is mounted within the housing for connection to a source of electrical power in the cabinet and a second electrical contact is disposed in the post in electrical contact with the first contact for connection to an electrical appliance in the door. In one embodiment, the electrical contacts rotate relative to each other as the post member pivots on the housing while in other embodiments; the electrical contacts remain stationary relative to each other as the post member pivots on the housing.

A vehicle includes a body, an access aperture that is defined by the body, a closure panel, a load ramp, and a moisture sensor. The access aperture provides access to an interior of the vehicle. The closure panel selectively covers at least a portion of the access aperture. The closure panel is movable between an open position and a dosed position relative to the access aperture. The load ramp is deployably coupled to the closure panel. The load ramp includes a coupled end and a free end. The load ramp is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The moisture sensor is positioned proximate to the free end of the load ramp. Methods of controlling the vehicle are also disclosed.

A cover is fitted to an aperture in an enclosure. A biasing mechanism is connected to the cover to mechanically bias the cover in an open position. An adhesive member is disposed around the aperture to retain the cover in a closed position against the bias of the biasing mechanism. A release mechanism effects release of the cover from the adhesive member by diminishing adhesion thereof in response to an open command signal.
