Abstract

A sliding door system for inline closure of an opening in the wall of a structure, which may be a building or an item of furniture, for example, that includes a door panel, a guiderail assembly, and a guiderail coupled to the wall mount via a plurality of doubled-hinge assemblies that together serve to allow the guiderail to pivot towards and away from the wall, and includes a stop on the guiderail that serves as a catch, or cam, that causes a closing force on the door panel to be transferred to the double-hinge assemblies and to cause the door panel to be pulled into inline closure in the opening.

Abstract

A sliding door system for inline closure of an opening in the wall of a structure, which may be a building or an item of furniture, for example. The sliding door system includes a door panel, a guiderail assembly having a wall mount fixedly attached to the wall above the opening and a guidrail coupled to the wall mount via a plurality of doubled-hinge assemblies that together serve to allow the guiderail to pivot towards and away from the wall. The top portion of the door panel has one ore more roller assemblies that are slidably coupled to the guiderail via rollers. A stop on the guiderail serves as a catch, or cam, that causes a closing force on the door panel to be transferred to the double-hinge assemblies and to cause the door panel to be pulled into inline closure in the opening.
