Abstract
Example embodiments provide a sliding system with improved mechanisms. According to embodiments, the sliding system may include a drive mechanism, a frame, a supporting device, and a connecting device. The drive mechanism is configurable to move a sliding panel along at least one track. The frame may house at least a portion of the drive mechanism. The supporting device may be detachably connected to the frame. The connecting device detachably connected the drive mechanism to the sliding panel.
Claims15
A sliding system comprises:
- a drive mechanism configurable to move a sliding panel along at least one track;
- a frame housing at least a portion of the drive mechanism;
- a supporting device detachably connected to the frame and providing horizontal support for the drive mechanism;
- and
- a connecting device detachably connecting the drive mechanism to the sliding panel to allow vertical movement therebetween by the connecting device any of lengthening and shortening by a deflection of deflectable first and second portions of the connecting device along each other as the sliding panel is moved along the at least one track.
