## Abstract

A slide and swing leaf/sash system includes a floor rail profile and a ceiling rail profile which are each C-shaped and in which at least two leaves/sashes arranged therebetween are displaceably guided, which leaves/sashes are mounted at least in each case by at least one carriage in the floor rail profile in such a way that, in the swiveled-in state of the leaves/sashes, the weight load of the leaves/sashes is completely absorbed by the floor rail profile. At least one lateral outlet opening for releasing a leaf/sash is arranged in the floor rail profile, a lifting runner, which is arranged above the floor rail profile, being mounted on at least one leaf/sash, a ramp element being arranged on the floor rail adjacent to at least one outlet opening and interacting with the lifting runner in such a way that the leaf/sash is raised on passing the ramp element.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A slide-and-swing window panel system, comprising
a floor rail profile configured in a C-shape and comprising
a guide frame and a lateral outlet opening in the guide frame,
a ceiling rail profile configured in a C-shape,
a first window panel disposed between the floor rail profile and the ceiling rail profile and guided so as to slide,
a second window panel disposed between the floor rail profile and the ceiling rail profile and guided so as to slide,
a first carriage, the first window panel being mounted in the floor rail profile by way of the first carriage, in such a manner that in a pivoted-in state of the first window panel, a weight load of the first window panel is entirely absorbed by the floor rail profile,
a second carriage, the second window panel being mounted in the floor rail profile by way of the second carriage, in such a manner that in a pivoted-in state of the second window panel, a weight load of the second window panel is entirely absorbed by the floor rail profile,
a lifting runner affixed to the first window panel, the lifting runner being disposed above the floor rail profile, and
a ramp element disposed on the floor rail profile, disposed adjacent to the lateral outlet opening, and being formed on the guide frame,
wherein, as the lifting runner affixed to the first window panel passes the ramp element, the ramp element interacts with the lifting runner, and the lifting runner slides on the ramp element, in such a manner that the first window panel is lifted,
wherein the lateral outlet opening is for releasing the first window panel.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The slide-and-swing window panel system according to claim 1, wherein the lifting runner is disposed on the first carriage.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The slide-and-swing window panel system according to claim 1, wherein a holding pad is disposed on the first window panel.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The slide-and-swing window panel system according to claim 3, wherein the holding pad is disposed on the first carriage.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The slide-and-swing window panel system according to claim 4, wherein the first carriage comprises a wheel,
wherein the floor rail profile comprises a gap, and
wherein the holding pad is disposed below the wheel of the first carriage, in such a manner that the gap of the floor rail profile runs between the wheel and the holding pad.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The slide-and-swing window panel system according to claim 3, wherein the holding pad interacts with the floor rail profile in such a manner that linear guidance of the first window panel is brought about.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The slide-and-swing window panel system according to claim 1, wherein the ramp element is configured to be moved out of a travel path of the lifting runner.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The slide-and-swing window panel system according to claim 1, wherein the first carriage comprises a carriage housing having a window panel accommodation and a hollow-cylindrical bearing accommodation formed on the window panel accommodation,
wherein a bearing for rotatable mounting of an axle is disposed in the hollow-cylindrical bearing accommodation,
wherein the axle accommodates at least one wheel, and
wherein a holding pad is formed on the hollow-cylindrical bearing accommodation, opposite to the window panel accommodation.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The slide-and-swing window panel system according to claim 8, wherein the lifting runner is formed on the carriage housing at a distance from the hollow-cylindrical bearing accommodation.
