Abstract

A parallel sliding system, in particular deposit-sliding system, may include a leaf, in particular a window or door leaf, which can be displaced horizontally from a closed position, in which the leaf closes an opening, in particular a window opening or door opening, into a sliding position, in which the leaf can slide parallel to the opening into an open position exposing the opening, and at least one slide which, when the leaf is displaced horizontally from the sliding position back into the closed position, is displaced relative to the leaf in the vertical direction in order to close in a sealing manner at least one gap between the leaf and a horizontal spar of a frame profile which surrounds a corresponding portion of the leaf in the closed position.

Claims (43)

1 . A parallel sliding system, comprising:

2 . The parallel sliding system according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one guide seal, which is arranged in the closed position, in which the leaf closes the opening, between the at least one guide and a vertical spar of the frame profile and sealingly connects to the vertical spar of the frame profile.

3 . The parallel sliding system according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one rail configured to guide the leaf in the sliding position, in which the leaf is configured to slide parallel to the opening into the open position exposing the opening, the at least one slide being in sealing contact with the at least one rail, when the leaf is in the closed position, to sealingly close the at least one gap in a region of the at least one rail.

4 . The parallel sliding system according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one slide seal arranged in a notch region of the horizontal spar, the at least one slide being in sealing contact with the at least one slide seal, when the leaf is in the closed position, to sealingly close the at least one gap in a region of the horizontal spar.

5 . The parallel sliding system according to claim 1 , wherein:

the leaf comprises a leaf profile which surrounds a pane of the leaf, the leaf profile including:

the horizontal spar,

an outer vertical spar which faces the opening when the leaf is in the open position exposing the opening, and

an inner vertical spar which faces away from the opening when the leaf is in the open position,

the at least one slide is arranged in a region of the inner vertical spar of the leaf profile,

the at least one slide is arranged in a region of an end-face cover profile of the inner vertical spar, and

the at least one guide is attached to the inner vertical spar of the leaf profile.

6 . The parallel sliding system according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one rail including projections, which extend in the vertical direction, blocking movement of the at least one slide in horizontal directions in which the leaf can be displaced between the closed position, in which the leaf closes the opening, and the sliding position, in which the leaf is configured to slide parallel to the opening into the open position exposing the opening.

7 . The parallel sliding system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one slide and the at least one guide are adapted to each other such that the at least one slide is moved in the vertical direction towards the leaf when the leaf is moved from the closed position to the sliding position, and the at least one slide is displaced towards the horizontal spar of the frame profile when moving the leaf from the sliding position back to the closed position.

8 . The parallel sliding system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one guide and the at least one slide are configured to perform a horizontal movement and a vertical movement relative to each other in response to a movement of the leaf between the closed position, in which the leaf closes the opening, and the sliding position, in which the leaf is configured to slide parallel to the opening into the open position exposing the opening, the at least one slide moving exclusively in the vertical direction and the at least one guide moving exclusively in a horizontal direction.

9 . The parallel sliding system according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one slide is guided via a dovetail or T-groove connection.

10 . A parallel sliding system, comprising:

a leaf configured to be displaced horizontally from a closed position, in which the leaf closes an opening, into a sliding position, in which the leaf is configured to slide parallel to the opening into an open position exposing the opening,

at least one rail configured to guide the leaf in the sliding position,

at least one sealing body, which when the leaf is moved horizontally from the sliding position to the closed position, is configured to be displaced relative to the leaf in a vertical direction to sealingly close a gap between the leaf and a horizontal spar of a frame profile which surrounds a corresponding portion of the leaf in the closed position, and the at least one sealing body forms, when the leaf is in the sliding position, a line contact with the at least one rail,

at least one guide fixedly connected to the leaf, and configured to use the horizontal movement of the leaf between the closed position and the sliding position to displace the at least one sealing body in the vertical direction, and

wherein the at least one guide has a receptacle for the at least one sealing body, in which the at least one sealing body is guided relative to the at least one guide along a slide rail inclined relative to a horizontal and positioned vertically above or below the at least one sealing body, wherein the at least one sealing body is guided in the slide rail.

11 . The parallel sliding system according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one sealing body and the at least one rail are configured to engage one another via a tongue-and-groove system, the line contact being formed between a groove and a tongue of the tongue-and-groove system, and wherein the groove is formed in the at least one sealing body and the tongue is formed on the at least one rail.

12 . The parallel sliding system according to claim 11 , wherein:

the line contact is provided by a relative inclination between at least one pair of walls including a groove wall and a tongue wall opposite the groove wall; and

13 . The parallel sliding system according to claim 12 , wherein:

the at least one sealing body is a slide which, when the leaf is displaced horizontally from the sliding position back into the closed position, is displaced relative to the leaf in the vertical direction to sealingly close the gap, and
