The sliding panel (1) comprise on at least one of sides thereof in the direction of the movement thereof, the reinforcing member (4) consisting of two aluminum sections (4a and 4b) connected by a polyamide thermal break (4c) and having two edges (4d and 4e) that define the longitudinal groove (22) having the same width from one end of the member (4) to the other end thereof. The guides (10) and the longitudinal inverted channel section (11) are placed in stationary positions on the benches (8 and 9) belonging to the profile sections of the frame (2) of the sliding window or sliding glass door. Each guide (10) comprises, in the center of the block (12), the vertical rod (20) having, on the top end thereof, ball bearings (21) that are located exactly between the edges (4d and 4e) and are located in the longitudinal channel (22) through which the panel (1) is guided in the movements thereof.
Sliding window or sliding glass door having a fixed frame and, in this frame, at least one glazed panel which cooperates with guiding members mounted on the frame and guiding the glazed panel so as to move along the said frame in a longitudinal direction, in which the said glazed panel has at least one lower longitudinal border and is equipped on said at least one lower longitudinal border with a rigid reinforcing member which has, projecting from the border, two opposing symmetrical edges defining a longitudinal channel in this reinforcing member, and in which the said guiding members have several fixed guides equipped with respective centering elements engaged in the said channel and being configured so as to permit a lateral deflection of said centering elements inside said channel perpendicular to said longitudinal direction, wherein the said guides are assemblies independent to and intercalated, along the sliding direction of the glazed panel, between slide support units with rollers mounted on a lower side of the frame and forming part of the said guiding members, wherein a lower side of the frame has a longitudinal covering profiled part with an inverted U-shaped profile placed on two seats of an assembly of two profiled parts forming the structure of a lower element of the frame, the guides being fixedly attached to this covering profiled part by transverse pins, these pins being perpendicular to a vertical plane of symmetry of the glazed panel.
