Sliding door system for installation in a building wall

A sliding door system for installation in a building wall, the sliding door system comprising:

• a first wall part having a first door opening formed therein;
• a second wall part having a second door opening formed therein, wherein the first wall part and the second wall part are arranged opposite of one another such that the first door opening is opposite the second door opening and the first wall part is separated from the second wall part by an intermediate space;
• a first door leaf for closing the first door opening;
• a second door leaf for closing the second door opening;
• a door leaf carrier slidable in a sliding direction along the intermediate space by a linear guide device and on which the first door leaf and the second door leaf are pivotably mounted by a pivot mechanism;
• a coupling device adapted to convert a sliding movement of the door leaf carrier into a rotational movement of the pivot mechanism such that the first door leaf and the second door leaf are pivoted relative to the door leaf carrier by the rotational movement, wherein the coupling device includes a slotted component having a slot formed therein, and the coupling device includes a control lever coupling the slotted component to the pivot mechanism, wherein the slotted component is mounted on the first wall part;
• wherein the pivot mechanism includes first, second, third and fourth rotation bars, each of the rotation bars being rotatably mounted about a longitudinal axis thereof in the door leaf carrier, each of the longitudinal axes being offset in the sliding direction from each other of the longitudinal axes, and first, second, third and fourth pivot levers;
• wherein the control lever is fixedly connected at a first end to the first rotation bar and is articulatedly mounted at a second end in the slot;
• wherein the first door leaf is connected to the first rotation bar by the first pivot lever and is connected to the second rotation bar by the second pivot lever;
• and
• wherein the second door leaf is connected to the third rotation bar by the third pivot lever and is connected to the fourth rotation bar by the fourth pivot lever.
