The present invention relates to a wall structure and particularly to a horizontal sliding wall structure.
In conventional building design, a partition wall structure usually includes a rail installed on the ceiling, a suspension structure slidable horizontally in the rail and a partition panel connected to the suspension structure. For instance, U.S. Pat. No. 4,555,828 entitled “Guiding system for movable suspended partition walls”, referring to
The primary object of the present invention is to solve the problem of the suspension rod in the conventional technique that freely moves upward to causes failure of the intended burglarproof function.
Another object of the invention is to resolve the problem of dust and dirt accumulation between the main body and suspension rod occurred to the conventional technique.
To achieve the foregoing objects, the invention provides a horizontal sliding wall structure which is located in a rail. The rail has a housing space and a sliding slot communicating with the housing space. The horizontal sliding wall structure comprises a sliding door panel, a horizontal sliding assembly held in the housing space and a suspension rod connecting to the sliding door panel and horizontal sliding assembly. The sliding door panel is located at one side of the rail adjacent to the sliding slot. The horizontal sliding assembly includes a main body, four symmetrical bottom roller sets coupled on the main body to prevent the horizontal sliding assembly from wobbling vertically, four lateral roller sets perpendicular to the bottom roller sets to prevent the horizontal sliding assembly from wobbling horizontally, a suspension hole running through the main body and corresponding to the sliding slot, and an upper lid located at one side of the main body remote from the sliding slot. The upper lid and the suspension hole form a concealed space between them. The suspension rod runs through the suspension hole and is extended outside the sliding slot, and has a support end held in the concealed space to prevent the suspension rod from moving vertically and a connection end passed through the sliding slot to connect to the sliding door panel.
By means of the construction set forth above, the upper lid can prevent dust and dirt from entering via the suspension hole to accumulate on the suspension rod and suspension hole, and also prohibit the suspension rod from moving vertically, therefore the fastening bolt on the sliding door panel can be prevented from moving away from the floor while the sliding door panel is pushed without tilting to create a gap between the neighboring sliding door panels that could allow people to pass through, thereby the burglarproof function is achieved.
The foregoing, as well as additional objects, features and advantages of the invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The main body 31 has a bottom surface 311 abutting the sliding slot 12 and two lateral surfaces 312 perpendicular to the bottom surface 311. Referring to
The four lateral roller sets 33 are located on the upper lid 35 remote from the lateral surfaces 312 of the main body 31 to contact and roll on other sides of the rail 10 abutting the sliding slot 12. Each of the lateral roller sets 33 has a first protrusive pad 332 abutting the main body 31 that is in contact with the main body 31 through a smaller area to reduce frictional force. The bottom surface 311 also has at least one ancillary roller set 36 mounted thereon corresponding to the sliding slot 12. The ancillary roller set 36 has a second protrusive pad 362 abutting and in contact with the main body 31 through a smaller area to reduce frictional force and facilitate horizontal sliding, thereby the frictional force between the horizontal sliding assembly 30 and rail 10 can be reduced.

As a conclusion, compared with the conventional technique, the invention provides features as follows:
1. Through the upper lid dust and dirt cannot enter through the suspension hole to accumulate on the suspension rod and suspension hole.
2. The upper lid prohibits the suspension rod from moving vertically, thus the fastening bolt on the sliding door panel can be prevented from moving away from the floor while the sliding door panel is pushed without tilting to create a gap between the neighboring sliding door panels that could allow people to pass through, thereby the burglarproof function is achieved.
3. The symmetrical four bottom roller sets can prevent the main body from wobbling vertically, and the four lateral roller sets can also prevent the main body from wobbling horizontally, thereby stability during horizontal sliding of the horizontal sliding assembly is improved.
