Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a car door for a lift car having a guide mechanism and a door leaf. The guide mechanism comprises in this case a sliding shoe, which is connected to the door leaf of the car door. Furthermore, the guide mechanism comprises a receiving part which surrounds the sliding shoe on at least three sides. The sliding shoe has, in a sliding direction, an extent which corresponds to at least 30% of the extension of the door leaf in this direction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A car door for a lift car, the car door comprising:
a guide mechanism and a door leaf;
wherein the guide mechanism comprises a sliding shoe, which is connected to the door leaf of the car door, and a receiving part which surrounds the sliding shoe on at least three sides wherein the guide mechanism is an upper guide mechanism that is arranged at an upper end of the door leaf, wherein the upper guide mechanism has a track roller connected to the door leaf, wherein the track roller is braced from above against the receiving part of the upper guide mechanism and it rolls along the receiving part during the opening and closing of the car door,
wherein the sliding shoe has, in a sliding direction, an extent which corresponds to at least 30% of an extension of the door leaf in this direction.

2. The car door as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sliding shoe has a friction-reducing inlay on at least one contact surface with the receiving part.

3. The car door as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the receiving part consists of plastic at the contact surface with the sliding shoe.

4. The car door as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sliding shoe has along the sliding direction an upper and a lower indentation, so that this results in an H-shaped cross section, and wherein the receiving part has first and second protrusions which extend into the upper and lower indentation in order to fix the sliding shoe in the receiving part.

5. The car door as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sliding shoe is connected to a drive system in order to move the sliding shoe along the sliding direction in the receiving part.

6. The car door as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the sliding shoe is connected via a spur gearing to the drive system.

7. The car door as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
a lower guide mechanism with a lower sliding shoe, which is connected to the door leaf of the car door, and with a receiving part which surrounds the lower sliding shoe on at least three sides, wherein the lower sliding shoe has, in the sliding direction, an extent which corresponds to at least 30% of the extension of the door leaf in this direction, and wherein the lower guide mechanism is arranged at the lower end of the door leaf.

8. The car door as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the sliding shoe of the upper guide mechanism is coupled to the sliding shoe of the lower guide mechanism.

9. The car door as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection between the door leaf and the upper sliding shoe is designed as a floating bearing in the vertical direction.

10. The car door as claimed in claim 1 wherein the sliding shoe is unitary and rigid along an entire length thereof.

11. A car door for a lift car, the car door comprising:
a guide mechanism and a door leaf;
wherein the guide mechanism comprises a sliding shoe, which is connected to the door leaf of the car door, and a receiving part which surrounds the sliding shoe on at least three sides;
spur gearing that connects the sliding shoe to the a drive system in order to move the sliding shoe along the sliding direction in the receiving part; and
wherein the sliding shoe has, in a sliding direction, an extent which corresponds to at least 30% of an extension of the door leaf in this direction and wherein the sliding shoe has a friction-reducing inlay on at least one contact surface with the receiving part.

12. The car door as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the receiving part consists of plastic at the contact surface with the sliding shoe.

13. The car door as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the sliding shoe has along the sliding direction an upper and a lower indentation, so that this results in an H-shaped cross section, and wherein the receiving part has first and second protrusions which extend into the upper and lower indentation in order to fix the sliding shoe in the receiving part.

14. The car door as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the guide mechanism is an upper guide mechanism, which is arranged at the upper end of the door leaf.

15. The car door as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the upper guide mechanism has a track roller connected to the door leaf, wherein the track roller is braced from above against the receiving part of the upper guide mechanism and it rolls along the receiving part during the opening and closing of the car door.

16. The car door as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising:
a lower guide mechanism with a sliding shoe, which is connected to the door leaf of the car door, and with a receiving part which surrounds the sliding shoe on at least three sides, wherein the sliding shoe has, in the sliding direction, an extent which corresponds to at least 30% of the extension of the door leaf in this direction, and wherein the lower guide mechanism is arranged at the lower end of the door leaf.

17. A car door for a lift car, the car door comprising:
a guide mechanism and a door leaf;
wherein the guide mechanism comprises a sliding shoe, which is connected to the door leaf of the car door, and a receiving part which surrounds the sliding shoe on at least three sides wherein the guide mechanism includes an upper guide mechanism that is arranged at an upper end of the door leaf; and a lower guide mechanism with a lower sliding shoe, which is connected to the door leaf of the car door, and with a receiving part which surrounds the lower sliding shoe on at least three sides, wherein the lower sliding shoe has, in the sliding direction, an extent which corresponds to at least 30% of an extension of the door leaf in this direction, and wherein the lower guide mechanism is arranged at the lower end of the door leaf,
wherein the sliding shoe has, in a sliding direction, an extent which corresponds to at least 30% of the extension of the door leaf in this direction, wherein the slide shoe is connected via a spur gearing to a drive system.

18. A car door for a lift car, the car door comprising:
a guide mechanism and a door leaf;
wherein the guide mechanism comprises a sliding shoe, which is connected to the door leaf of the car door, and a receiving part which surrounds the sliding shoe on at least three sides;
spur gearing that connects the sliding shoe to the a drive system in order to move the sliding shoe along the sliding direction in the receiving part; and
wherein the sliding shoe has, in a sliding direction, an extent which corresponds to at least 30% of an extension of the door leaf in this direction, wherein the sliding shoe has along the sliding direction an upper and a lower indentation, so that this results in an H-shaped cross section, and wherein the receiving part has first and second protrusions which extend into the upper and lower indentation in order to fix the sliding shoe in the receiving part.

19. A car door for a lift car, the car door comprising:
a guide mechanism and a door leaf;
wherein the guide mechanism comprises a sliding shoe, which is connected to the door leaf of the car door, and a receiving part which surrounds the sliding shoe on at least three sides;
spur gearing that connects the sliding shoe to the a drive system in order to move the sliding shoe along the sliding direction in the receiving part; and
a lower guide mechanism with a lower sliding shoe, which is connected to the door leaf of the car door, and with a receiving part which surrounds the lower sliding shoe on at least three sides, wherein the lower sliding shoe has, in the sliding direction, an extent which corresponds to at least 30% of an extension of the door leaf in this directi
