Supporting and guiding device for holding movable, hanging door or wall elements

Abstract

The invention relates to a supporting and guiding device for holding movable, hanging door or wall elements that are mounted in runner rails ( 1 ) which are shaped as hollow boxes and are provided with a continuous recess on the bottom thereof. Said runner rails ( 1 ) are fixed to the ceiling of a building via a hanging construction ( 14, 21 ). In order to exclude impairments as far as possible in connection with mounting such a supporting and guiding device, an intermediate profile ( 2 ) is arranged between the runner rail ( 1 ) and the hanging construction ( 14,21 ).

         30 . A support and guide device as in  claim 29  wherein both of said side edges have longitudinally extending lateral screw channels.  
     
     
         31 . A Support and guide device as in  claim 29  further comprising a retaining device which can be fixed to said intermediate profile by screwing to said lateral screw channel.  
     
     
         32 . A support and guide device as in  claim 27  wherein said web comprises a central channel.  
     
     
         33 . A support and guide device as in  claim 27  wherein said upper flange has an upper screw channel located centrally and extending longitudinally.  
     
     
         34 . A support and guide device as in  claim 33  wherein said upper flange has at least one centering groove extending parallel to said upper screw channel.  
     
     
         35 . A support and guide device as in  claim 34  wherein said upper flange has a pair of centering grooves extending parallel to said upper screw channel, on either side of and equidistant from said upper screw channel.  
     
     
         36 . A support and guide device as in  claim 27  wherein said web has at least one centering groove.  
     
     
         37 . A support and guide device as in  claim 27  wherein said upper flange has a pair of side edges, at least one of said edges being provided with at least one U-shaped slot.  
     
     
         38 . A support and guide device as in  claim 37  wherein U-shaped slots are distributed uniformly along the length of said at least one edge.  
     
     
         39 . A support and guide device as in  claim 38  wherein said U-shaped slots are distributed uniformly along each of said edges, the U-shaped slots on one edge being offset from the U-shaped slots on the other edge.  
     
     
         40 . A support and guide device as in  claim 26  wherein said intermediate profile is provided with longitudinally extending screw channels, each said screw channel having screw-thread undercuts into which threaded screws and be screwed.  
     
     
         41 . A support and guide device as in  claim 26  wherein said suspension system comprises at least one of threaded rods and lateral bracing.  
     
     
         42 . A support and guide device as in  claim 41  further comprising a locking plate for holding a threaded rod in position on the intermediate profile.  
     
     
         43 . A support and guide device as in  claim 33  further comprising a locking plate which is retained against said upper flange by a screw received in said upper screw channel.  
     
     
         44 . A support and guide device as in  claim 33  further comprising a locking plate having a bent edge which is received in said upper screw channel.  
     
     
         45 . A support and guide device as in  claim 42  wherein said locking plate comprises at least one tab located opposite from said threaded rod for hinged support of lateral bracing.  
     
     
         46 . A support and guide device as in  claim 45  wherein said lateral bracing comprises a pair of telescoping members.  
     
     
         47 . A support and guide device as in  claim 46  wherein said telescoping members comprise rectangular tubes.
