• the advantageous arrangement of the carriage within the running track results in a particularly compact device, since the space requirement of such an arrangement concept is considerably less than that of a device in which the carriage moves outside the running track and the connecting element between the carriage and sliding door the carriage is led around.
• a second rail which in turn contains at least one carriage, is attached to the floor below the sliding door.
• the carriage is preferably designed such that there are two axes on the front part and one on the rear part of a rectangular compact body, at the ends of which a roller is attached.
• the rectangular body has a cutout on each side along its longitudinal extent, the geometric shape of which preferably corresponds to a circular sector.
• the circle diameter of the Circle sector is determined by the magnitude of the diameter of the rollers.
• the gap between the outer surface of the roll and the milling on the rectangular body is expediently only a few millimeters. In particular, the gap is approximately 0.1 to 100 millimeters, values between 1 millimeter and 30 millimeters being particularly preferred.
• a total of two carriages are preferably located within one running rail, since this increases the stability of the sliding door device.
• the criterion for determining the absolute number of carriages is usually based on the length of the running rail and / or the weight of the sliding door.
