A glass panel system comprising an upper and lower guide track and at least two adjacent glass panels which are movable along the lower and upper guide tracks. The lower guide track is configured to support at least two glass panels. The upper guide track comprises two opposite side walls, an elongated groove and a free space formed between the two side walls. One of the glass panels leans against both the side walls by one guide element and against one of the two side walls and against another glass panel by another guide element. One of the glass panels leans, on one hand, against one of the two side walls and against another glass panel by one guide element and, on the other hand, against the other side wall and against another glass panel by another guide element. The guide elements are arranged in the free space.

A locking arrangement, including a panel with a locking groove; an edge strip with a first form; as well as a locking element placed at least partly or entirely between the edge strip and the panel. The locking element includes a protrusion inserted in the locking groove of the panel and configured to prevent the panel from detaching from the edge strip, and a second form matching with and received by the first form of the edge strip, and configured to prevent the locking element from detaching from the edge strip. In the presented method for assembling the locking arrangement, in its first step, the locking element is placed against the panel so that the protrusion is inserted in the locking groove of the panel, after which they are installed in the edge strip.

A sunshade is installed to a glazing part, which comprises a transparent sheet with a first end edge and second end edge and a first side edge and second side edge. The side edges are free edges of the sheet. At least one first fastening element is attached close to the first end edge of the transparent sheet and at least one second fastening element is attached close to the second end edge of the transparent sheet, and the sunshade is suspended on the said fastening elements. The first and second fastening elements are attached to the side edges of the transparent sheet.

The panel system includes lower and upper guides and at least one panel located between and connected to them, to move the panel on the lower guide. The panel system includes a hinge element fixed to the panel and allows the panel to be opened by turning essentially around a rotation axis. The panel system further includes at least two locking housings positioned successively on the upper guide. The locking housings include two opposite locking recesses, defining a circle with radius Rand between which remains a passage with width P. The hinge element can travel from one locking housing to another through the passage. The distance between the locking housings is distance P, configured to be less than two times radius R. The hinge element may include two locking cams and in addition a guiding edge remaining between them. The panel system locking arrangement includes the hinge element.

Door and window handle

A panel system including a sheet-like movable panel; a lower profile carrying the panel weight and acting as a panel guide track; an upper profile supporting the panel from above and acting as a panel guide track; and an opening guide track placed in parallel with the lower profile, carrying the panel weight and acting as a panel guide track. The panel can move from the lower profile onto the opening guide track and simultaneously pivot to an open position, in which the panel weight is carried by both the lower profile and the opening guide track. In an embodiment, an opening angle of the panel with respect to the lower profile in the open position is smaller than 90&#xb0; or 85&#xb0;, or not greater than 45&#xb0;, or is preferably from 10&#xb0; to 15&#xb0;. In an example, the panel system further includes a sheet-like immovable panel with an open position.
