Abstract
A sliding structure, includes a frame, at least one sliding sash received in the frame, with the sliding sash having upper and lower locking bars. An actuating mechanism is provided for moving the upper and lower locking bars of the sliding sash in opposite directions, to thereby allow attachment of the sliding sash to the frame at several positions.
Claims14
A sliding structure for use as a glass front, comprising:
- a frame formed with slotted tracks on opposite ends;
- at least one sash received in the frame, said sliding sash having a pair of vertically adjustable first bars on one side of the sash and a pair of vertically adjustable second bars on an opposite side of the sash, said first and second bars moving in the slotted tracks;
- and
- an actuator moving the first bars in opposite directions between a locking position in which the sash is locked to the frame and a release position in which the first bars are idle, and moving the second bars between an engagement position in which the second bars are guided in the slotted tracks and a disengagement position in which the second bars are idle, thereby selectively allowing attachment of the sash to the frame at several positions and displacement of the sash, without risk of disengagement of the sash from the frame.
