[0073] FIG. 9 the sliding door system 1 of FIG. 1 in a further preferred embodiment with a preferably designed buffer device 9 and a preferably designed mounting device 4.

[0074] FIG. 1 shows an inventive sliding door system 1 with an inventive sliding door 11, by means of which a simple door opening 10 or a door opening 10 enclosed by a door frame 12 can be closed. The sliding door 11 comprises a door leaf 111, the front quarter of which has been cut away in order to partially expose activatable sealing devices 8 arranged in a door recess 110 on the upper side and preferably also on the lower side. A first mounting device 4 is also shown on the upper side of the sliding door 11, which is connected on the one hand to the door leaf 111 and on the other hand to a first carriage 3. A second mounting device 4, which is connected on the one hand to the door leaf 111 and on the other hand to a second carriage 3, is covered by the rear side of the door leaf 111.

[0075] The two carriages 3 are guided in a running rail 2 and can be moved along it until the first carriage 3 hits an inventive buffer device 9, which is mounted in the running rail 2. The left part of the running rail 2 is cut along the longitudinal axis to show the buffer device 9.

[0076] By means of the buffer device 9, the sliding door 11 is elastically stopped in an end position or closing position in front of the door opening 10 and preferably fixed by a locking element 98 (see FIG. 3), so that it is held in a defined position, namely the closing position, and cannot move back automatically. The sliding door 11 can only be released from the locking element 98 and moved back again by applying force.

[0077] By means of an activation member 911 (see FIG. 3), which is connected to the buffer device 9, the activatable sealing device 8 is also actuated, by means of which an air gap between the upper edge of the sliding door 11 and for example the lower edge of the running rail 2 can be sealed.

[0078] The activatable sealing device 8, which is optionally provided on the underside of the sliding door 11, can also be actuated when the closing position is reached, as is known from the prior art described at the beginning.

[0079] On the vertical frame bars 121, 122 of the door frame 12, conventional seals 18 are preferably provided to seal the air gap between the sliding door 11 and the vertical frame bars 121, 122 when the sliding door 11 reaches the closing position.

[0080] In the closing position of the sliding door 11, the door opening 10 is therefore completely closed and sealed in this preferred embodiment.

[0081] FIG. 2a shows the front side of the sliding door 11 of FIG. 1 facing the buffer device 9 with the door recess 110 on the upper side of the door leafs 111, in which the transmission device 6 provided for actuating the activatable sealing device 8 is arranged on the front side, and behind it, side by side, the activatable sealing device 8 and the first mounting device 4, which is connected to the first carriage 3 of FIG. 1 by a connecting part 35, for example a connecting screw. The buffer device 9 has been removed from the running rail 2 to reveal the first carriage 3.

[0082] The running rail 2 comprises two side pieces 22 which are connected to each other at the top by a head piece 21 and which are connected at the bottom by foot pieces 23 which face each other.

[0083] The carriages 3 comprise a carriage body 31, which holds running elements 32 on both sides, which are supported on the foot pieces 23 of the running rail 2. Facing the buffer device 9, the carriage body 31 further comprises a stop element 311 which abuts against the damping element or elements of the buffer device 9 when the closing position of the sliding door 11 is reached.

[0084] The transmission device 6 is mounted directly adjacent to the front side of the door leaf 111 and comprises a transmission element in the embodiment of a transmission lever 61, a lever holder 62 and amounting base 63. The lever holder 62 comprises a retaining plate 621, which is detachably anchored in the mounting base 63, and a lever shaft 622, by means of which the transmission lever 61 is rotatably supported.

[0085] The transmission lever 61 comprises a first lever part 611 that can cooperate with the buffer device 9, and a second lever part 612 that can cooperate with the actuating element 82 of the activatable sealing device 8. Both lever parts 611, 612 are adjacent to each other and are dimensioned in such a way that an interaction with the actuating element 82 and the buffer device 9 occurs as soon as the sliding door 11 moves into the closing position.

[0086] The mounting base 63 includes retaining elements and a latching element 631 by means of which the lever holder 62 is releasably retained. The lever holder 62 comprises a locking recess 620 into which the latching element 631 can engage. The locking recess 620 also forms a window through which a tool, for example a screwdriver, can be inserted to push down the latching element 631 and release it from the lever holder 62. The lever holder 62 can therefore be detached from the mounting base 63 with a single movement of the hand.

[0087] The activatable sealing device 8 comprises a housing 83 in which the extractable sealing strip 81 and an extraction mechanism 84 (see FIG. 5a), which can be actuated by means of the actuating element 82, are arranged.

[0088] In addition to the activatable sealing device 8, a mounting device 4 is arranged inside the door recess 110 for each of the carriages 3. The mounting device 4 shown comprises a mounting rail 42 in which a mounting unit 41 can be slid and locked in one or more positions by means of a latching element such as a latching tongue 411.

[0089] FIG. 2b shows the front side of the sliding door 11 of FIG. 2a with a view of the rear side of the mounted buffer device 9, which is tensioned within the cross-section of the running rail 2 by means of at least one counter screw 99. The buffer device 9 comprises a buffer body 91 with foot elements 912 which are supported on the foot pieces 23 of the running rail 2. Inside the buffer body 91 a counter screw 99 is held in a threaded hole. By turning this counter screw 99 against the head piece 21 of the running rail 2, the buffer body 91 is pressed and tensioned against the foot pieces 23 of the running rail. The buffer device 9 can therefore be inserted into the running rail 2, moved to a suitable position and fixed in place by tightening the counter screws 99.

[0090] Furthermore, the buffer body 91 comprises an activation member 911 that can interact with the first lever part 611 of the transmission lever 61 when the sliding door 11 or the first carriage 3 moves against the buffer device 9. During this operation, the transmission lever 61 is rotated, the second lever part 612 is guided against the actuating element 82, the extraction mechanism of the sealing device 8 is actuated and the sealing strip 81 is guided against the underside of the running rail 2, thereby sealing the air gap between the upper edge of the door leaf 111 and the lower edge of the running rail 2. At least the uppermost part of the sealing strip 81 is preferably elastic and is thereby pressed flat against the underside of the running rail 2. The movement of the sealing strip 81 during the closing process is symbolised by an arrow.

[0091] It can be seen that the activation member 911 is practically completely integrated into the buffer device 9, wherefore it does not take up any additional space. The buffer device 9 according to the invention can therefore be manufactured with the dimensions of conventional buffer devices 9.

[0092] FIG. 3 shows the sliding door system 1 with the sliding door 11 of FIG. 1 in spatial representation with the schematically shown door leaf 111, the first carriage 3 guided in the running rail 2 and facing the buffer device 9, the first mounting device 4, the activatable sealing device 8 and the transmission device 6. The running rail 2 has been cut along the longitudinal axis.

[0093] In a preferred embodiment, the buffer device 9 is shown in a longitudinal section along the centre axis. The section runs through two threaded bores or screw channels 990, in which the counter screws 99 are rotatably held. The screw channels 990 are open at the bottom so that a tool can be coupled to the counter screws 99 from below in order to rotate them against the head piece 21 of the running rail 2 shown in the sectional view.

[0094] On the underside, the buffer body 91 comprises the activation member 911, which is designed as a ramp. The buffer body 91 therefore integrates the activation member 911, which is fully integrated into the buffer body 91 and thus does not take up any additional space. For this purpose, the buffer body 91 preferably comprises an activation channel 910 between the foot elements 912, into which the first lever part 611 of the transmission lever 61 can enter. When the sliding door 11 is moved further towards the buffer device 9, the transmission lever 61 is rotated clockwise, whereby the second lever part 612 is guided towards the actuating element 82 of the activatable sealing device 8. The activation channel 910 thus allows the transmission lever 61 to be at least partially accommodated in the activation channel 910, wherefore the sliding door 11 can be raised almost to the running rail 2 and only a minimal air gap results between them.

[0095] At the front, the buffer device 9 comprises two lateral dampers 95, only one of which is shown, and a central damper 96. The central damper 96 is made of an elastic material such as rubber or plastic. The lateral damper 95 preferably comprises a piston and a cylinder that can be moved against each other.

[0096] Furthermore, the buffer device 9 comprises a preferably elastic locking element 98 on the upper side, which is anchored on the rear side in the buffer body 91 and can be rotated elastically against the buffer body 91 by means of a symbolically shown screw 981. The longitudinally cut locking element 98 also comprises two elastic locking arms 982 (only one shown), which are directed towards the facing first carriage 3. The two elastic locking arms are each designed to elastically engage and hold one of the rollers 32 of the carriage 3.

[0097] FIG. 3 further shows the activatable sealing device 8, which is explained in more detail below with reference to FIG. 5a and FIG. 5b, the mounting device 4, which is explained in more detail below with reference to FIG. 4, FIG. 7a and FIG. 7b, and the transmission device 6, which is explained in more detail below with reference to FIG. 8a, FIG. 8b and FIG. 8c.

[0098] FIG. 4 shows the sliding door 11 of FIG. 3 with a view of the facing front side of the door leaf 111. The mounting device 4 is arranged behind the transmission device 6 in the door recess 110. The mounting rail 42, which is firmly connected, for example screwed, to the door leaf 111, comprises a mounting channel 420 which is delimited by side elements with retaining flanges 421 directed towards each other. The mounting unit 41 is inserted into the mounting channel 420 and is held by the retaining flanges 421. The connecting screw 35 protrudes between the retaining flanges 421 and is screwed into the carriage body 31 of the carriage 3.

[0099] The retaining flanges 421 also comprise locking countersinks 4210 in which a latching tongue 411 of the mounting unit 41 is engaged. By lifting the latching tongue 411, the mounting unit 41 can be released and moved inside the mounting rail 42 to another latching position.

[0100] With reference to FIG. 2a, it has already been described that the lever holder 62 can be loosened and removed practically with a hand movement. If the carriage 3 needs to be serviced or adjusted, the locking connections of the mounting unit 41 and the lever holder 62 are released, after which the mounting unit 41 can be extended with the carriage 3. After maintenance or adjustment of the carriage 3, the mounting unit 41 is pushed back into the mounting rail 42 and locked in place. Then the lever holder 62 is reconnected to the mounting base 63 with a handgrip.

[0101] FIG. 5a shows the activatable sealing device 8 of FIG. 4 with a schematically shown extraction mechanism 84 before activation by the symbolically shown transmission lever 61 of the transmission device 6. In this preferred embodiment, the extraction mechanism 84 comprises several leaf springs 141, which are connected to the actuating element 82 by means of push rods 842. By moving the actuating element 82, the leaf springs 141 are bent in such a way that the sealing strip 81, which preferably comprises an elastic termination element 811, is lifted and elastically pressed against the underside of the running rail 2.

[0102] FIG. 5b shows the activatable sealing device 8 of FIG. 5a after activation by the symbolically shown transmission lever 61, which was guided against the actuating element 82, and the actuation of the extraction mechanism 84, by means of which the sealing strip 81 was lifted.

[0103] FIG. 6a shows the buffer device 6 of FIG. 1 from the side with the locking element 98, which is anchored in the buffer body 91 on the rear side by an anchor part 981 and which comprises two elastic anchor arms 982 on the front side, which are bent in order to be able to engage over and hold a running wheel 32 each. Since the activation member 911 is integrated and recessed into the buffer body 91, only its lower part is visible.

[0104] FIG. 6b shows the buffer device 6 of FIG. 6a from the front. It can be seen that the two lateral dampers 95 are arranged symmetrically to the central damper 96. On the top side the two locking arms 982 and one of the counter screws 99 are visible. On the bottom side of the buffer device 9 the foot elements 912 of the buffer body 91 are shown, between which the activation channel 910 is sunk into the buffer body 91. The channel bottom of the activation channel 910, forms the preferably ramp-shaped activation member 911. Holes are inserted in the ramp 911, in which a screwdriver can be inserted to turn the counter screw 99 and the fastening screw 981, by which the locking element 98 is held and pretensioned.

[0105] FIG. 6c shows an exploded view of the buffer device 6 of FIG. 6a. It is shown that the buffer body 91 comprises two lateral openings 915 for receiving the lateral damper 95, a central opening 916 for receiving the central damper 96 and a retaining lug 918 for retaining the anchor element 981 of the locking part 98. Symbolically, it is shown that the lateral damper 95 preferably comprises a piston 951 which is connected to a piston rod 953 and which is slidably mounted in a damping cylinder 952. In the damping cylinder 952, for example, a viscous substance or a medium, such as air, is provided, which is displaced by the piston 951. Preferably, the piston 951 is returned to its original position by an elastic element. The buffer body 91 is preferably made of plastic or metal.

[0106] FIG. 7a shows the mounting device 4 of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 with the mounting rail 42 in which the mounting unit 41, which is connected to the carriage 3, is held and which in this preferred embodiment is supported on a mounting bar 43. In a preferred embodiment, the mounting bar 43 is connectable within the door recess 110 to the door leaf 111 of the sliding door 11 and is preferably made of metal. For easier coupling of the mounting rail 42 to the mounting bar 43, corresponding coupling elements 429, 439 are provided. The coupling elements 429, 439 ensure that corresponding mounting bores and threaded bores of the mounting rail 42 and the mounting bar 43 are always aligned coaxially with each other.

[0107] FIG. 7b shows the mounting device 4 of FIG. 7a in an exploded view and with a longitudinal section through the mounting unit 41. The latching tongue 411, which in FIG. 7a is countersunk into a latching depression 4210, is exposed at the end and is preferably elastic. The connecting screw 35, which is connected to the carriage body 31 of the carriage 3, is rotatably held in a connecting channel 410 of the mounting unit 41.

[0108] The mounting bar 43, which is separated from the mounting rail 42 in FIG. 7b, comprises mounting holes 430 and threaded bores 431. Self-tapping screws 432 can be passed through the mounting holes 430 to connect the mounting bar 43 to the door leaf 111. Subsequently, the mounting rail 42 can be connected to the mounting bar 43 by inserting mounting screws 423 through mounting holes 4230 in the mounting rail 42 into threaded bores 431 of the mounting bar 43. This has the advantage that the mounting bar 43 can be mounted in a simple manner with the required number of self-tapping screws 432 and subsequently only two mounting screws 423, for example, are required for the installation of the mounting rail 42. The mounting rail 42 can therefore be simpler in design and easier to install.

[0109] FIG. 7b further shows that the mounting rail 42 comprises several locking countersinks 4210 into which the latching tongue 411 of the mounting unit 41 can be countersunk. The mounting unit 41 and/or the mounting rail 42 and/or the mounting bar 43 can be made of any material, such as plastic or metal.

[0110] FIG. 8a shows the transmission device 6 of FIG. 3 inserted into the door recess 110, which comprises a lever holder 62 holding the lever shaft 622 and the transmission lever 61 and which is detachably connected to a mounting base 63 connected, for example screwed, to the door leaf 111.

[0111] FIG. 8b shows the transmission device 6 of FIG. 8a with the lever holder 62 detached from the mounting base 63 and the door leaf 111 shown in a longitudinal section. The lever holder 62 comprises a retaining plate 621 with a locking recess 620 and bearing flanges 623 (see FIG. 6c) which hold the lever shaft 622.

[0112] The mounting base 63 comprises a circumferential holding flange 631 under which the retaining plate 621 of the lever holder 62 can be pushed. During this process, the retaining plate 621 is guided over an elastic latching element 632, which is displaced downwards before it can engage in the locking recess of the lever holder 62. By inserting a tool, the latching element 632 can be displaced downwards again to release the lever holder 62 from the mounting base 63.

[0113] FIG. 8c shows the transmission lever 61 and the lever holder 62 of FIG. 8b detached from each other. The two lever parts 611, 612 of the transmission lever 61 have different dimensions but are oriented in the same direction, wherefore the transmission lever 61 takes up only little space.

[0114] FIG. 9 shows the sliding door system 1 of FIG. 1 in a further preferred embodiment with a preferably designed buffer device 9 and a preferably designed mounting device 4. The mounting unit 41 of the mounting device 4, which has been removed from the mounting rail 42 and is shown in sectional view, is known from U.S. Pat. No. 9,341,011B2. In this embodiment, the mounting unit 41 comprises an adjustment screw 416 aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the running rail and rotatably mounted in a mounting body 415, by means of which a slide holder 417, in which a slide 418 is displaceably mounted along guideways, can be displaced axially. When the slide holder 417 is moved axially, the slide 418, which is connected to the connecting screw 416, is moved up or down along the guideways. By turning the adjustment screw 415 the sliding door 11 can therefore be raised or lowered. For this adjustment it is not necessary to remove the mounting unit 41 from the mounting rail 42, but access to the adjustment screw 416 must be ensured. To do this, the lever holder 62 of the transmission device 6 is detached from the mounting base 63 as described above with reference to FIG. 8a, FIG. 8b and FIG. 8c.

[0115] In this embodiment, the carriage 3 comprises only two rollers 32 arranged one behind the other, of which the first roller 32 is held by the single locking arm 982 of the locking part 98 as soon as the carriage body 31 hits the buffer device 9.

[0116] The buffer device 9 also comprises a buffer body 91 with an activation channel 910. In this case, the activation member 911 is not moulded onto the buffer body 91 but can be anchored in the activation channel 910 by a mounting part 9110. In this way, the buffer device 9 can be equipped with a suitable activation member 911. The mounting part 9110 is preferably detachable so that it can be detached and reinserted as required.
