The invention relates to a sliding door module for a rail vehicle comprising at least one sliding door and a linear guide with a sliding rail in the sliding direction oriented rail and slidably mounted thereon slide. In addition, the pivoting sliding door module comprises a console or a plurality of consoles with fastening means for fastening the pivoting sliding door, which is / are connected to the at least one slide. The invention further relates to a rail vehicle comprising at least one sliding door module of the type mentioned.

Sliding sliding door modules of the type mentioned are known in principle. It slides or rolls a carriage on the rail and allows the displacement of the sliding door. The problem is that a deformation of a support on which the rail is attached, inevitably leads to a deformation of the rail. Frequent deformations of said support and thus the rail are deflections in the vertical and horizontal directions and a twist twisting the same. Deflection in the vertical direction is essentially caused by the weight force of the sliding sliding door and vertical impacts / accelerations. Horizontal deflections can be caused, for example, by pressure fluctuations which occur when two trains or tunnel entrances and exits meet. Due to the relatively large surfaces of the sliding doors, enormous forces are generated, especially in high-speed trains. A twisting of the beam results in asymmetrical cross-section with respect to the direction of the introduced Ν2012ΛΜ900 P.005 / 036 2/35 27/08/2012 13:42 No .: R175 25 13:39:46 27-08-2012 6/36 ·· · · · · · · · «· · ·! • ···············································································································

Force. Due to the complexity of the forces occurring and the usually complex cross-sectional shape of the carrier and the rail mounted thereon torsion is practically unavoidable.

Due to the system so deflections and torsion of the said carrier and the rail mounted thereon are virtually impossible to prevent. Since the sliding door sliding this deformation due to their rigidity (especially against vertical deflection and torsion) can not or only partially follow, it comes to tension in the storage between the carriage and the rail. In particular, when using bearings bearing damage or reduced life of the linear guide may be the result.

In order to keep the loads of the bearing within limits, the support for the rails according to the prior art are relatively stiff dimensioned to keep the deformations and thus the tension in the bearings as small as possible. Naturally, this increases the weight of the sliding sliding door module.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide an improved swivel sliding door module. In particular, the life of the storage between carriage and rail should be extended and / or the weight of the sliding door module can be reduced.

The object of the invention is achieved with a sliding sliding door module of the type mentioned above, comprising at least one rotary joint, which allows a rotation of the sliding sliding door relative to the rail about a substantially horizontal and transverse to the sliding direction oriented axis of rotation and / or a substantially vertically oriented axis of rotation.

The object of the invention is further achieved with a rail vehicle comprising at least one sliding door module of the type mentioned

This ensures that a deformation of the rail is made possible, the storage between carriage and rail is not or only slightly charged. Compared with known sliding sliding door modules 27/08/2012 13:43 3/35 Nr .: R175 P.006 / 036 25 13:40:28 27-08-2012 7/36

Carrier on which the rail is attached, are thus comparatively fragile, since the sliding door (or the door leaf) despite a deformation of the rail always remains smooth and damage in storage between carriage and rail to be avoided. Thus, the total weight of the rail vehicle can be reduced and its performance can be improved.

By allowing a rotation about a substantially horizontal and transversely aligned to the sliding direction of rotation axis vertical deflections of the rail can be compensated.

By allowing rotation about a substantially vertically oriented axis of rotation horizontal deflections of the professional rail can be compensated.

The rotation can be made possible by a rotary joint or multiple hinges. If the rotation of the pivoting sliding door relative to the profile rail around two mutually transverse axes is made possible, can also by a "gimbal " the sliding door can be spoken.

In principle, a hinge can be provided in the slide, between the console and slide, in the console, between the console and sliding door and / or in the sliding door itself. In the latter case, for example, a mounting surface of the sliding door, to which the console is attached, be articulated to the actual door leaf.

The invention can also be seen to recognize that the mentioned problem of bearing stresses in the known manner due to the system is not completely solvable, since deformations in the supporting elements are unavoidable, even if they are made so stiff.

It should be noted at this point that the features of the invention are particularly suitable for use in a sliding-type sliding door or in a swivel-sliding module. Nevertheless, the invention can also be applied to a 4/35 27/08/2012 13:44 No .: R175 N2012 / 09900 P. 007/036 25 13:41:07 27-08-2012 8/36 t · t · · M 4 • ···················· ··· ···· ·· · 4

Sliding door or a sliding door module are used, in which or a pivot mechanism is missing.

Further advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and from the description in conjunction with the figures.

It is advantageous if the at least one rotary joint permits a rotation of the pivoting sliding door relative to the profile rail and also an axis of rotation oriented essentially parallel to the sliding direction. By allowing this rotation, a twisting of the rail can be compensated. It is advantageous if the at least one rotary joint is formed by a shaft rotating in a bearing shell or a rolling bearing. In this case, therefore, the rotary joint is formed by a slide bearing or roller bearing which enables the rotation of an axle mounted in the bearing. In this way, the hinge can be turned into reality by readily available means.

It is advantageous if the at least one rotary joint is formed by two rolling surfaces rolling against each other. One of the two rolling surfaces is convex for this purpose, and the other rolling surface is concave with the same or lesser curvature, flat or likewise convex.

It is particularly advantageous if a rolling surface has a generally cylindrical, in particular a circular cylindrical shape. On this werse a rotation about a rotation axis is made possible. Because of the linear contact of the rolling surfaces also comparatively high forces can be transmitted.

In a preferred embodiment, the sliding sliding door module comprises two generally cylindrical rolling surfaces with mutually transverse axes. This allows rotation about two axes of rotation. Such a hinge can thus compensate for the deformations of a rail particularly well. Because of the linear contact of the rolling surfaces, in turn, comparatively high forces can be transmitted. 27/08/2012 13:44 5/35 No .: R175 P.008 / 036 25 13:41:48 27-08-2012 9/36 5

It is also particularly advantageous if a rolling surface is multidimensionally curved, in particular spherical. In this way, a rotation about several axes of rotation is also possible. Such a hinge can thus also compensate for the deformations of a rail particularly well. Because of the multi-dimensional curvature, the rolling surfaces can rotate on each other when rotated about an arbitrary axis, whereby a sliding against each other avoided and the wear of the rolling surfaces is thus reduced. It is favorable if a weight force of the sliding sliding door presses the two rolling surfaces against each other. Since the two rolling surfaces are then pressed against each other without further measures, the sliding door module in this case can be structurally made relatively simple, resulting in a further weight and price advantage. It is also favorable when the linear guide is designed as a linear roller guide and the carriage as a carriage mounted on the rail by means of rotating rolling elements. As a result, the sliding sliding door runs smoothly and without play on the Profiischiene. In particular, if the profile rail has a circular cross-section, a rotary joint which permits a rotation of the pivoting sliding door relative to the profile rail about an axis of rotation aligned substantially parallel to the sliding direction can be dispensed with. If, for example, a substantially rectangular profile rail is used, then a torque can be transmitted between the pivoting sliding door and the profile rail about said rotation axis.

Linear rolling guides of the type mentioned are rolling guides that can be performed with balls or rollers as rolling elements. The rolling elements form in a contact area the link between the Profiischiene and carriage. The rolling elements not currently in contact with the profiled rail are guided via a rolling guide section (e.g., return duct) from the end of the contact section to the beginning thereof or vice versa. The rolling elements thus move in a closed path. As a rule, this orbit is arranged essentially in one plane, the "orbital plane". In this case, an oval-shaped path can be provided N2012 / 08900 P.009 / 036 6/35 27/08/2012 13:45 No .: R175 25 • · · e 13:42:31 27-08-2012 10/36 η *

Or several successive oval-shaped or circular tracks are provided, which are arranged in the same plane and form a contact area in their entirety. In addition, multiple tracks may also be in different but parallel planes. Optionally, the rolling elements can also be arranged in a rolling element cage.

It is advantageous if a convex rolling surface arranged on the bracket is pressed by the weight force of the sliding sliding door onto a horizontally aligned planar rolling surface of the slide. In this way results in a particularly simple and inexpensive construction, especially when the linear guide is designed as a linear roller guide. As a rule, the carriage consists of high-strength and hardened steel and is ground at the top. In this way, the top of a commercially available carriage carriage can act as a rolling surface without further action. Therefore, only one convex rolling surface needs to be provided on the console side in order to realize a rotary joint in the sense of the invention.

It is also advantageous if two rolling rolling surfaces rolling against each other are secured against lifting by means of a counter-holder. This avoids that the rolling surfaces (significantly) can lift off each other. In particular, in the case of heavy pivot sliding doors, damage to the rolling surface can thus be avoided or at least reduced, which can result from counter-striking of the rolling surfaces. Without further measures, for example, vertical impacts on the rail vehicle can cause a lifting of the pivot sliding door and a subsequent impact on the bearing surface and the destruction thereof. Especially with hardened surfaces parts of the bearing surface could flake off.

It is also particularly advantageous if the counter-holder presses the rolling surfaces together with the aid of a spring force and / or by elastic deformation. In this way it is achieved that the counter-holder moves when rolling the rolling surfaces relative to the rolling surface held, in particular can rotate relative to this and a rolling of the rolling surfaces against moderate resistance to 7/35 27/08/2012 13:46

• It is possible to stand still. All types of springs and elastic components (for example rubber buffers) can be used. Alternatively or additionally, also the counter-holder can be designed so that it opposes the rolling of the rolling surfaces by elastic deformation only moderate resistance.

It is also particularly advantageous when Hip Prnfiteehien® is mounted on a sohiobo in the direction of the pivot sliding door oriented carrier or is covered by this, wherein the contact surface of the rail is aligned with the carrier substantially horizontally.

In conventional guide systems, the contact surface of the rail is aligned with the carrier substantially vertically whereby the mounting surface of the carriage is vertically aligned. In particular, when said mounting surface facing outward, a comfortable mounting of the rail and the sliding door or a sliding bracket for mounting the sliding door is made possible.

The installation height of said guide system is in spite of the above-mentioned stimsi-term assembly of the sliding door or the console on the carriage in total comparatively large. In particular, when used in double-decker wagons and even if several rails are arranged to guide the two leaves of a double-hinged sliding door one above the other, there are restrictions on the remaining clearance height, since the total height of the wagons can not be increased arbitrarily.

Due to the special orientation of the profile rail, the latter projects beyond the support in the mounting region of the profile rail in a substantially vertical direction. In this way, an increased entry height can be achieved without the overall height of the sliding sliding door module would have to be increased. This results in particular in very low rail vehicles or double-decker cars a significant improvement in the entry situation. 8/35 27/08/2012 13:46

In the case of non-planar contact surfaces, for example, a substantially horizontal alignment thereof is then present when a resulting contact force between the profile rail and the carrier acts in a substantially vertical direction. Non-planar surfaces may, for example, take the form of a cylindrical segment, e.g. If the profile rail has a circular cross-section It is favorable if an imaginary connecting line of two rolling elements, which contact the profiled rail and lie opposite one another with respect to a mounting surface normally aligned with the hard axis of the Profifquerschnitts, is oriented substantially horizontally. In this way, on the one hand a low overall height of the guide system is achieved, on the other hand horizontally acting forces can be absorbed very well. These can be caused, for example, by pressure fluctuations which occur when two trains or tunnel entrances and exits meet. Due to the relatively large surfaces of the sliding doors, enormous forces are generated, especially in high-speed trains. It is also favorable if at least one circumferential plane of the rolling elements is aligned substantially horizontally. As a result, a particularly low design of the guide system is achieved. It is also conceivable that one of two superposed circumferential planes is substantially horizontal and the other obliquely aligned thereto, in particular substantially vertical thereto.

It is advantageous if the carrier in cross section on both sides of the rail is higher than in the region of the rail. In particular, the carrier has in cross-section on its top and bottom laterally from the rail to an increase. In particular, the carrier may also have a substantially H-shaped or X-shaped or T-shaped cross-section.

As a result, on the one hand, the vertical, on the other hand, the horizontal flexural rigidity of the carrier can be increased. The weight of the sliding sliding door attached to the guide system as well as vertical impacts / accelerations therefore cause only a comparatively slight deflection of the carrier in vertical direction

No .: R175 P.012 / 036 13:44:37 27-08-2012 13/36 9 ler direction. Likewise causes a horizontal force component on the sliding door, as they arise in particular by the occurring in tunnels suction and pressurization, also a comparatively low deflection of the carrier in the horizontal direction. In addition, a torsional tendency of the wearer is reduced. The carrier can thus be made overall relatively thin-walled, whereby the total weight of the rail vehicle is reduced and its performance is improved. Due to the low deformation of the carrier and the burden of Führungssys-tems are reduced, resulting in a longer life or longer maintenance intervals of the same result.

It should be noted at this point that the features mentioned can also be advantageous if the contact surface of the profiled rail is aligned substantially vertically with the carrier. The features mentioned can thus form the basis for an independent invention.

It when the guide system comprises two linear guides, wherein a first rail on the top of the carrier and a second profiled rails are mounted on the underside of the carrier is particularly advantageous. In this way, a single carrier can be used to hold a double-wing pivot sliding door. A pivoting sliding door module accordingly comprises a first pivot sliding door attached to the console or the brackets of the lower linear guide and a second pivoting sliding door fixed to the console or the brackets of the upper line guide.

The advantage of the low height of the guide system is particularly evident here. In particular, it is also advantageous if the carrier is constructed symmetrically with respect to its horizontal axis, since then no special mounting direction is observed.

It is also particularly advantageous if the brackets of the lower and upper linear guide are designed essentially identically and are rotated by 180 ° about a horizontal axis aligned normal to the profile rail. This will make the 10/35 27/08/2012 13:48

Reduces the number of different components of the guide system and thus simplifies the production and storage. It is advantageous if the fastening means are arranged on the brackets of the lower and upper linear guide at substantially the same height. This makes it possible to build the door similar or even identical. The production of a sliding door module or the storage of the parts required for its manufacture or repair is thus once again simplified.

For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures. Show it

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals and the same component names, the disclosures contained throughout the description can be mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals or component names. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the directly described and dargesteltte figure and are in a position change mutatis mutandis to transfer to the new location. Furthermore, individual features or combinations of features from the illustrated and described different embodiments may represent for themselves, inventive or inventive solutions. All statements on ranges of values in the description of the present invention should be understood to include any and all sub-ranges thereof, e.g. is the statement 1 to 10 to be understood that all sub-areas, starting from the lower limit 1 and the upper limit 10 are included, ie. all subregions begin with a lower limit of 1 or greater and end at an upper limit of 10 or less, e.g. 1 to 1.7, or 3.2 to 8.1 or 5.5 to 10.

Figures 1 and 2 show an exemplary and schematically dargesteiltes guide system 1 for a sliding door of a rail vehicle in an oblique view (Fig. 1) and in section (Fig. 2). The guide system 1 comprises a slide 2 aligned in the sliding direction of the sliding door carrier 2 and a linear roller guide with two rails 3 and two carriages 4, the rail 3 on the support 2 attached (for example screwed to this) or is covered by this and the at least one carriage 4 is mounted on the rail 3 by means of rotating rolling elements 5. Furthermore, the guide system comprises a plurality of brackets 6 with fastening means 7 (here fastening holes) for fastening two pivot sliding doors (not shown), wherein the brackets 6 is connected to the at least one guide carriage 4 or is covered by this / are. The contact surface of a profile rail 3 with the carrier 2 is aligned substantially horizontally in this example. (12/35 N2012 / 09900 27/08/2012 13:49

12 remark: the rail 3 is shown broken off in Fig. 3, but extends in nature over the entire length of the carrier 2).

The carrier 2 may be fixedly connected to the rail vehicle or else be movable. In this case, the carrier 2 is exposed transversely to the sliding direction of the sliding sliding doors, so that the sliding sliding doors can be moved, especially in such a construction is to pay attention to low weight of the entire arrangement, as this comparatively heavily loaded the guide system of the support 2 (not shown).

In Fig. 1 it can be clearly seen that the guide system 1 in this example has two linear guides, wherein a first rail 3 is mounted on the upper side of the carrier 2 and a second profile rail 3 on the underside of the carrier 2. In this way, a single carrier 2 can be used for holding a double-wing sliding door. The advantage of the low height of the guide system is particularly evident here. In particular, it is also advantageous if the carrier 2 is constructed symmetrically with respect to the horizontal plane, since then no special mounting direction is observed.

Good to see in Fig. 1 also that the brackets 6 of the lower and upper line arführung in this example are designed substantially identical and rotated by 180 ° about a horizontal and normal to the rail 3 aligned axis. As a result, the number of different components of the guide system 1 is reduced and thus the manufacture and storage eintecht.

Finally, in Fig. 1 also good to see that the fastening means 7 are arranged on the brackets 6 of the lower and upper linear guide in this example at substantially the same height. This makes it possible to build the door similar or even identical. The production of a sliding door module or the storage of the parts needed for its manufacture or repair is thus once again united.

As can be clearly seen in particular from FIG. 2, the profile rails 3 project beyond the carrier 2 in this example in the assembly region of the profile rails 3 in vertical direction : 47: 15 27-08-2012 17/36 «« «· Μ · ·· ♦« · «·· · · *» · * * ** &gt; f * η * «· ♦» · * .. «4« <1 · «* ♦ * 13 ler direction. In this way, an increased entry height can be achieved without the overall height of the sliding sliding door module 1 would have to be increased (see also Fig. 9).

From Fig. 2 it is further seen that in this embodiment, an imaginary line connecting two rolling elements 5, which touch the rail 3 and with respect to a normal to the mounting surface aligned gravity axis 8 of the profile cross-section are opposite each other, is substantially aligned horizontally Furthermore, a Circumferential plane of the rolling elements 5 aligned substantially horizontally.

3 and 4 show two examples of the orbits 9 of the rolling elements 5 in the carriage 4. In Fig. 3, the rolling elements 5 run along oval orbits 9, in Fig. 4 along circular orbits 9. The orbits. 9 lie in the presented variant of the guide system 1 in a horizontal plane. By the measures mentioned on the one hand a particularly low overall height of the guide system 1 is achieved, on the other hand horizontally acting forces can be picked up very well, which can be caused for example by acting on the sliding door sliding pressure fluctuations. In general, the circulation levels of the Wäizkörper 5 may also be slightly inclined relative to the horizontal, without thereby increasing the height of the guide system excessively. It has proven to be advantageous if a circulating plane is inclined by not more than 20 ° relative to the horizontal.

2 that the carrier 2 in the illustrated example is higher in cross-section on both sides of the profile rails 3 than in the region of the profile rail 3. The carrier 2 has in cross-section laterally of the profile rails 3 on its top and bottom sides an increase on. The carrier 2 thus has in this example a substantially Η-shaped or X-shaped or T-shaped cross-section. As a result, on the one hand, the vertical, on the other hand, the horizontal flexural rigidity of the carrier 2 can be significantly increased. Forces in both the horizontal and vertical directions cause 14/35 N2012 / 09900 27/08/2012 13:51

14 therefore only a comparatively small deflection of the carrier 2. Due to the comparatively high torsional moment of inertia and a Verdrehuna of the carrier 2 remains low. It should be noted at this point that the features mentioned can also be advantageous if the orbital plane of the rolling bodies is vertically aligned (cf. FIG. 9).

Finally, in FIG. 2, a swivel joint can be seen which, in this example, permits a rotation of the swiveling sliding door relative to the profiled rail 3 about an axis of rotation aligned essentially parallel to the sliding direction. On the one hand, a warping of the profiled rail can be compensated, on the other hand it is also possible to to adapt the guide system 1 in a simple manner to different installation situations. In particular, modern rail vehicles do not necessarily have vertically extending side walls, but taper towards the top. As a result, the sliding door is slightly inclined relative to the guide system 1. With the help of the rotary joint, the illustrated guide system 1 but also be applied without restriction in such cases. The rotary joint is formed in this case by a rotating shaft in a bearing shell 10, but of course conceivable is the use of a rolling bearing. It would also be possible to form the joint from a spherical head mounted in a ball socket, so that rotations about several axes are possible. Likewise, a universal joint could be provided.

Admitting a rotation about the longitudinal axis is by no means the only way to allow a rotation between the sliding door and sliding rail 3. It is also conceivable that the guide system comprises at least one rotary joint, which allows a rotation of the pivoting sliding door relative to the rail 3 about a substantially horizontal and transverse to the sliding direction aligned axis of rotation and / or a substantially vertically oriented axis of rotation.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show two illustrative examples of how a rotation of the pivoting sliding door is made possible about an axis of rotation aligned essentially horizontally and transversely to the sliding direction. 15/35 N2012 / 09900 27/08/2012 13:51

5 shows a section BB, from which it can be seen that the bracket 6 aulweist in the region of the guide carriage 4 a convex portion which rests on the flat surface of the guide carriage 4, whereby a rotary joint is formed with two rolling surfaces rolling against each other. Because the guide carriage 4 is generally made of high-strength and hardened steel, the upper side of a commercially available guide carriage can act as a rolling surface without any further measures.

Concretely, the rolling surface arranged on the bracket Θ has a cylindrical shape, with the projectors standing normally on the plane of the page. The console 6 and thus attached pivoting sliding door can thus be rotated about a substantially horizontal and transverse to the sliding direction of rotation axis relative to the rail 3, whereby vertical deflections of the rail 3 can be compensated.

In this example, the two rolling surfaces are pressed together by a gravitational force of the pivoting sliding door. In addition, the two rolling surfaces rolling against each other are secured against lifting by means of a counter-holder 11. The Gegenhaiter 11 is fixed in position relative to the bracket 6 by means of dowels 12 and screwed by means of screws 13 with this. In order nevertheless to allow a rotation of the console 6 relative to the rail 3, as shown in Fig. 5, the counter-holder 11 may be convex and / or a slight clearance be allowed. In the latter case lifting of the upper Wälzflächen is therefore possible in principle, however, the "drop height &quot; (So the game) chosen so low that damage to the rolling surfaces when striking the console 6 can be avoided on the carriage 4.

Fig. 6 shows a variant of the guide system, which is very similar to the variant shown in Figure 5. In contrast, the counter-holder 11 presses the rolling surfaces together by means of a spring force and / or by elastic deformation. Specifically, the console 6 is bolted to the counter-holder 11 via two rubber buffers 14 which allow rolling of the rolling surfaces with moderate effort, but prevent lifting of the rolling surfaces or 16/35 N2012 / 09900 27/08/2012 13:52

At least make it difficult. In the example shown in Fig. 6, the counter-holder 11 has no convex portion, but of course it is also conceivable that it is shaped as shown in Fig. 5, whereby a rolling of the rolling surfaces is facilitated.

In principle, it is sufficient for the arrangement shown in FIG. 6, if the console 6 can move in translation relative to the counter-holder 11. In a variant of the arrangement shown in FIG. 6, the fit of the dowel pin 12 can also be chosen relatively loose or the dowel pin be mounted in a rubber sleeve, so that a tilting of the console 6 and the counter-holder 11 against each other are possible. In accordance with loose fit the backstop 11 can even then rest flat on the carriage 4, when the console 6 is tilted relative to the carriage 4 or rotated.

Although the joints shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 allow a rotation of the bracket 6 relative to the rail 3 about an axis of rotation substantially horizontally and transversely to the sliding direction, the joints shown by appropriate arrangement also for rotation about a vertical axis of rotation or to a are provided about a substantially parallel to the sliding direction aligned axis of rotation.

Fig. 7 shows a simplified simplified pivot that allows rotation about two axes of rotation. For this purpose, the bracket 6 and the counter-holder 11 have generally cylindrical rolling surfaces with mutually transverse axes. The carriage 4, however, again has flat rolling surfaces. Such a hinge can thus compensate for the deformations of a profile rail 3 particularly well. Because of the linear contact of the rolling surfaces also comparatively high forces can be transmitted.

Fig. 8 shows a simplified simplifies a rotary joint that allows rotation about arbitrary axes of rotation. For this purpose, the console 6 and the counter-holder 11 have multi-dimensionally curved rolling surfaces, in particular spherical rolling surfaces. Such a swivel joint can even deform the deformations of a profiled rail 3

Because of the multi-dimensional curvature, the rolling surfaces can roll on each other when rotated about an arbitrary axis, whereby a mutual sliding is avoided and the wear of the rolling surfaces is thus reduced.

By providing a rotary joint or a plurality of hinges, a deformation of the rail 3 is made possible without the storage between guide carriage 4 and rail 3 to brace. Compared with known sliding sliding door modules, a support 2, on which the rail 3 is fixed, therefore, be made comparatively fragile, since the sliding door (or the door leaf) despite a deformation of the rail stete remains smooth and damage in storage between carriage 4 and rail 3 be avoided.

In general, vertical deflections of the rail 3 can be compensated for by allowing a rotation of the bracket 6 relative to the rail 3 about a substantially horizontally and transversely aligned to the sliding axis rotation, horizontal deflections by allowing rotation about a substantially vertically oriented axis of rotation and Veiwinden the rail by allowing a rotation about an axis of rotation aligned substantially parallel to the sliding direction.

In general, rotations about a plurality of axes can be realized by individual hinges connected serially one behind the other (cf. FIG. 2) and / or by rotary joints which allow rotations about a plurality of axes (cf. FIGS. 7 and 8). The hinges may further be selectively realized by rolling surfaces rolling against each other and / or sliding surfaces (e.g., pin / bush). Furthermore, the positioning of the joints, as indicated in the above examples, while advantageous, but by no means mandatory. In principle, a swivel joint in the carriage 4, between console 6 and guide carriage 4, be provided in the console 6, between the console 6 and sliding door and / or in the sliding door itself.

Furthermore, it is also pointed out that the use of compensating joints is of course not bound to a linear roller guide, although there may be a damaging consequence particularly quickly a distortion of storage. Of course, the invention is equally applicable to Lineargleitfühmngen of all kinds.

Finally, it is also noted that the application of compensating joints, of course, is not bound to the special arrangement of the profile rails 3. Rather, the contact surfaces of the profile rails 3 to the carrier 2 can also be aligned vertically. Hg. 9 shows an example of a guide system, in which two pivot sliding doors 15 are attached via brackets 6 to the guide carriages 4 of two superimposed linear roller guides. The above teaching is mutatis mutandis applicable to such an arrangement.
