Abstract
Improved sliding window or sliding door with a leaf with a leaf frame that is composed of leaf profiles which each comprise two half-shells which are thermally connected to each other by an intermediate thermal insulator, whereby in the leaf frame a rebate is provided for a panel which is supported by one or more glazing bead supports in the rebate and whereby the leaf frame is supported by one or more roller cassettes with rollers, wherein at least one glazing bead support comprises a feed-through section for transmitting the weight of the panel or a part thereof to at least one concerned roller cassette and that this feed-through section extends through a bottom leaf profile of the leaf frame up to a roller cassette.

A sliding window or sliding door with a leaf, the leaf comprises a leaf frame that is composed of leaf profiles wherein a panel is mounted, whereby each leaf profile comprises two half-shells which are thermally connected to each other by an intermediate thermal insulator, whereby the leaf frame contains a rebate and one or more glazing bead supports which support the panel in the rebate and whereby the leaf frame is supported by one or more roller cassettes with rollers, wherein the one or more glazing bead supports are separate from the roller cassettes, wherein the at least one glazing bead support comprises a feed-through section for transmitting a weight of the panel or a part thereof to at least one concerned roller cassette and that the feed-through section extends through a bottom leaf profile of the leaf frame up to the at least one concerned roller cassette,
- wherein the thermal insulator includes a passage, and
- wherein the feed-through section is formed by at least one protrusion which extends a certain length within the passage in the thermal insulator.
