Abstract
A device for suspending and guiding an oblique-displacement sliding door, especially for railroad cars, comprises a rolling element which is attached to the door by means of a connecting member (4) and comprises two rollers (Gs, Gi) mounted within a tubular guide track (6). The rolling surfaces (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) of the guide track (6) are located in oppositely-facing relation on each side of the connecting member (4) and at an oblique angle with respect to this latter. The profiles of the two rolling surfaces and of the two rollers are adapted to each other so as to prevent translational displacement of the rolling element (2) in a plane transverse to the guide track (6).
Claims10
A device for suspending and guiding a movable panel (1a) or a similar load, especially for an oblique-displacement sliding door (1) comprising at least one rolling element (2, 3) attached to the movable panel by means of a connecting member (4, 4a), the rolling element comprising two rollers (Gs, Gi) in cooperating relation with rolling surfaces (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) of a tubular guide track (6, 7) which can have rectilinear portions and curved portions, wherein the rolling surfaces (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) of the guide track (6, 7) are located in oppositely-facing relation on each side of the connecting member (4, 4a) at an oblique angle with respect to said member, the profiles of the two rolling surfaces and of the two rollers (Gs, Gi) being adapted to each other in order to prevent a movement of translation of the rolling element in a plane transverse to said tubular guide track.
