Sliding door edge support.

摘要

A sliding door arrangement which provides lateral support for the free edge or bottom nose corner of a door (14) comprises a retractable member (19) which is raised through an aperture in the floor(15) or doorway threshold to interlockingly engage said edge (24) of the door (14) in the closed position. When the door (14) is opened the engaging member (19) is automatically retracted to lie flush with the floor surface (15A). The member (19) is carried by a rocking level (18) under the floor (15) which is linked (20) to anothercounter-balanced lever (21) nearer the door frame which also has a raised protrusion (23) which is abutted by a cam (26,27) on the door (14) as it reaches the closed position.
