A door mounting mechanism and assembly providing for door opening-closing with movements at right angles

摘要

A mounting mechanism for coplanar doors is of a four-bar linkage type and a door (2) is carried on parallel links or connecting rods (33, 33a), so that it moves parallel to itself from a steady, closed position, through a transitory retracted or extracted position, to an opening position, before or behind another door, and vice-versa. The connecting rods are carried on a sliding carriage unit (20) and a cam compensator unit is provided that ensures carriage movement parallel to a door plane, for part of the way, when the door is moved between its closed position and a retracted or extracted intermediate position, by rotation of the connecting rods, so that the resultant door movement is basically at right-angles to the door plane.
