Device for opening and closing a sliding door, in particular for vehicles
First Claim
1. A device in combination with an opening and closing sliding door (3), in particular for vehicles, which closes an opening in a wall and is arranged displaceably substantially parallel to the wall in at least one longitudinal guide provided on the wall, having a running unit (1) which carries out the displacement movement and which possesses a linear drive (8, 12) provided with an electric motor (5) and a guide device (9, 11), wherein the linearly constructed driven member of the linear drive (12) and a member of the guide device (9) are fastened on the one hand to the door (3) and the driving member of the linear drive (5, 7, 8) as well as the other member of the guide device (11) on the other hand are fastened to a mounting (6) which is supported via a support arrangement (22, 23, 24, 25, 26) connected to the wall, having a locking unit (2) driven by an electric motor (20) which locks and unlocks the sliding door (3) in its position closing the opening while performing a movement perpendicular to the wall and having a control which encompasses position switches and controls the running (1) and locking unit (2), wherein the support arrangement (22, 23, 24, 25, 26) possesses at least one pivot lever (24) connected on the one hand to the mounting (6) and on the other hand to a bearing (23, 25) connected to the wall, each mounted in articulated manner, which converts a movement of the mounting (6) substantially perpendicular to the wall into a pivot movement.

Abstract
The invention relates to a device provided with a driving unit (1) which performs the shift and has a linear drive (8,12) provided with an electric motor (5), and a guide device (9,11). The driven member, formed to be linear, of the linear drive (12) and a member of the guide device (9) are fastened on one hand to the door (3), and the driving member of the linear drive (5,7,8) and the other member of the guide device (11) are fastened on the other hand to a mounting (6) which is supported by way of a support arrangement (22, 23, 24, 25, 26) connected to the wall(4). Said support arrangement converts a movement of the mounting substantially perpendicular to the wall into a swinging movement. A locking unit driven by an electric motor is also provided which locks and unlocks the sliding door by performing a movement perpendicular to the wall when it is positioned to close the opening. Control means which has position switches controls the driving and locking unit.
