ABSTRACT:
A plurality of sliding doors3arranged side by side to close an opening of a frame1. The sliding doors3are flush with each other. A rotatable link50is disposed in an upper edge portion of an opening section2x. The rotatable link50has a short rail portion51formed at a distal end thereof. A roller15is disposed in an upper edge portion of the sliding door3. The roller15rides on the rail portion51. When the sliding door3moves from a closed position to an opening preparation position in a front or rear direction, the rotatable link50rotates from a first rotation position to a second rotation position, thereby positioning the rail portion51coaxial with a fixed rail39. The sliding door3is provided with a rail member11. The rail member11of the sliding door3in the closed position is coaxial with the fixed rail39. The roller15of the sliding door3moving to an open position runs on the rail member11of the sliding door3in the closed position and the fixed rail39.
