ABSTRACT:
A sliding patio door assembly is disclosed of the kind in which the door, when it is being closed, moves bodily laterally with respect to the slide track; i.e., forwardly with respect to the closing door panel. When fully closed, the door is entered into a recess, and a weather seal is compressed between the door and a lip surrounding the recess. The door is controlled, as to its lateral movement relative to the slide track, upon crank arms, and it is a feature of the disclosure that the crank arms are constrained to pivot in unison but in opposite senses of rotation. Another feature is that the crank arms lie at 90 degrees to the line of the slide track when the door is fully closed.
