Abstract
A sliding-door system includes a sliding door, a door frame, and a locking system, wherein in a locked state, a first latch engages in an engagement notch of an anchor body locking the sliding door, and a bolt engages on the anchor body in an engagement region to prevent the anchor body from rotating about a rotational axis. An actuator moves the bolt out of the engagement region to switch the locking system from the locked state into an open state by rotating the anchor body about the rotational axis. A locking system emergency opening function is actuated by applying an emergency activation force to a first door leaf to move a lock substantially perpendicular to a surface of the first door leaf such that the engagement notch is slid out of the engagement region to enable the sliding door to open.
Claims15
A sliding-door system comprising:
- a door frame;
- a sliding door mounted in the door frame, the sliding door including a first door leaf and a second door leaf opposite the first door leaf, wherein a distance between the first door leaf and the second door leaf in an open state of the sliding door is smaller than a distance between the leaves in a closed state of the sliding door;
- a locking system including a lock fastened to the sliding door and a locking part mounted on the door frame;
- wherein the lock has an anchor body mounted to rotate about a rotational axis, the anchor body having an engagement notch, and the locking part having a first latch;
- wherein, in a locked state of the locking system, the first latch engages in the engagement notch of the anchor body thereby locking the sliding door, and a bolt engages on the anchor body in an engagement region thereby preventing the anchor body from rotating about the rotational axis, the lock having an actuator that moves the bolt out of the engagement region thereby moving the locking system from the locked state into an open state by the anchor body rotating about the rotational axis;
- and
- wherein the locking system has an emergency opening function actuated by an emergency activation force, the emergency opening function operating, by a movement of the lock brought about by the application of the emergency activation force to the sliding door, to release the locking of the sliding door, wherein a movement direction of the lock is perpendicular to a surface of the first door leaf, and the lock slides relative to the locking part such that the engagement notch slides out of the engagement region of the first latch enabling opening of the sliding door.
