Abstract
The guiding device, which serves for guiding a sliding element, such as a sliding door provided with a door leaf, with which a room opening of a building part can be closed at least approximately tightly, comprises a running rail having a longitudinal axis and at least one carriage that is guided along the running rail and that comprises a carriage body that is connected to a coupling device that is coupled or can be coupled with the sliding element.
Claims16
A guiding device for a sliding element, such as a sliding door provided with a door leaf, with which a room opening of a building part can be closed at least approximately tightly, the guiding device comprising:
- a running rail having a longitudinal axis;
- the running rail having a first rail segment and a second rail segment;
- a first carriage guided on the first rail segment and a second carriage guided on the second rail segment;
- each of the first rail segment and the second rail segment having a first track and a second track that run in parallel and that are inclined towards one another;
- at least one of the first track and the second track of each of the first rail segment and the second rail segment comprises a first track surface section and a second track surface section arranged one in front of another in a direction of the longitudinal axis, the first track surface section running in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and the second track surface section extending from the first track surface section and running inclined relative to the first track surface section along the longitudinal axis;
- each of the first carriage and the second carriage having a carriage body, each of the carriage bodies holding at least one first roller and at least one second roller that are inclined towards one another and that are supported by the first track and the second track of a respective one of the first rail segment and the second rail segment, the at least one first roller or the at least one second roller being configured to ride in contact with the first track surface section and the second track surface section;
- and
- a coupling device pivotally connected with the carriage body of each of the first carriage and the second carriage permitting the first carriage and the second carriage, respectively, to tilt forwards and backwards, the coupling device being configured to be coupled with the sliding element.
