ABSTRACT:
A sliding door capable of permitting both initiation of a door opening operation and termination of a door closing operation to be smoothly and readily accomplished. During the door closing operation, obliquely downward and inward movement of a door body and an action of a link cooperate with each other to permit the door body to be pressedly contacted with an outer wall surface of an object such as a refrigerator using substantially reduced force. During the door opening operation, upward outward movement of the door body and an action of the link permit the door body to be readily released from the outer wall surface using significantly reduced force.
