Translating door

摘要

The invention provides a door for at least partially covering a doorway (10) defined by a wall and a lower surface, comprising a first door panel (14) adapted to laterally translate along a plane relative to the doorway (10) between a doorway blocking position and an unblocking position; and a slide (184a-d) disposed on an elongated slide restraint (186a-d) to provide relative sliding motion therebetween, wherein the slide (184a-d) and elongated slide restraint (186a-d) are adapted to be spaced above the lower surface and at least one of the slide (184a-d) and the elongated slide restraint (186a-d) is attached to a first lower portion of the first door panel (14) to limit movement of the first lower portion out of the plane.
