Abstract
A sliding door comprises a plurality of guide panels guided in a straight guide rail track of a guide rail. During an opening movement along a slide axis, the door panels are deflectable by an abutment into an angled guide rail track of the guide rail along a stacking axis so that the door panels can be stacked approximately in the direction of the slide axis and during a closing movement can be unstacked by deflection into the straight guide rail track.
Claims15
An elevator sliding door, comprising:
- a plurality of door panels, the door panels being oriented along a slide axis and movable along the slide axis in an opening movement, the door panels being stackable along a stacking axis and configured to be deflected by an abutment along the stacking axis, the door panels being configured to be unstacked by deflection along the slide axis in a closing action, the door panels being configured to remain approximately parallel to the slide axis during stacking and unstacking, the panels being configured to be guided by a straight guide rail track of at least one guide rail during the opening movement and the closing movement and to be guided along an angled guide rail track of the at least one guide rail during stacking and unstacking.
An elevator installation comprising:
