Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a displacement device having a mounting profile, a functional entity and a method for installing a displacement device in a functional entity, wherein the mounting profile is connected to a single-piece or multi-piece door (possibly a foldable sliding door) and is vertically aligned in the door compartment and preferably automatically displaceable, the functional entity being in particular a piece of furniture or a room unit. Background Art

[0002] In order to close openings in functional entities (e.g. furniture, room units, kitchens or sleeping areas), single-piece or multi-piece doors, possibly foldable sliding doors, are usually used, which, after the opening has been opened, are moved into the door compartments of the functional entity so that they do not hinder the appearance.

[0003] US8336972B2 discloses a piece of furniture with a displacement device, by means of which a mounting profile connected to a one-piece door is displaceable within a door compartment. The displacement device comprises a retaining device in the form of a scissor-like cross, by which the mounting profile is displaceably held in vertical alignment. The displacement device also comprises a running drive path, along which the mounting profile is displaceably mounted by a running mechanism.

[0004] US9284761B2 discloses furniture with a displacement device, by which a mounting profile connected to a foldable sliding door is displaceable within a door compartment. The foldable sliding door comprises two door elements, wherein a first door element is connected to the mounting profile at the rear by a mounting hinge and is connected to the rear of a second door element at the front by a door hinge, the second door element being connected to a front carriage at the front, the front carriage being displaceable along a running drive path having two drive path portions aligned perpendicularly to each other and connected to each other by a curved portion, wherein the first drive path portion extends into the door compartment and the second drive path portion extends along the front of the furniture.

[0005] In the above-mentioned sliding devices, the mounting profile with the sliding door is manually pushed into the door compartment and manually pulled out of the door compartment again. Sliding devices are also known in which the mounting profile connected to the sliding door can be automatically displaced in the door compartment by a drive device.

[0006] DE 2045763 A1 discloses furniture with a shifting device with a scissor cross, the scissor arms of which are connected to each other by springs to automatically retract a mounting profile held by the scissor cross and connected to the door into the door compartment or to eject it from the door compartment. The scissor cross takes up a relatively large amount of space and is usually adapted to the dimensions of a specific door compartment.

[0007] US 10227806 B2 discloses another displacement device with a control curve, by means of which a mounting profile connected to a door is automatically displaceable within a door compartment.

[0008] The last described displacement devices have a drive for the automatic displacement of the mounting profile, which either cooperates with specially designed holding devices and needs to be integrated into these holding devices, or is a separate drive that grabs the mounting profile near the end stop and pulls it into the end position. Separate drives usually require a lot of space and can only move the mounting profile over short distances. These drives are also relatively expensive and are only available in predefined sizes.

[0009] Therefore, the drive device and the other elements of the displacement device must be adapted to each other and are therefore subject to significant restrictions. It should be noted that in a door compartment that may be designed to accommodate more than one door element, there is usually little space available. Therefore, the restrictions on the integration of the drive device into the displacement device are particularly important.

[0010] EP1394349A1 discloses a displacement device having a slidably mounted mounting profile, which is held perpendicular to the displacement direction by a holding device having two metal cables. The mounting profile is provided with two lower wheels at the lower end and two upper wheels at the upper end, which are used to roll on upper and lower guide rails. A first metal cable is guided clockwise around the associated upper wheel and counterclockwise around the associated lower wheel, and is held and tensioned on both sides by cable connection devices arranged on the front and rear sides of the displacement device. A second metal cable is guided counterclockwise around the associated upper wheel and clockwise around the associated lower wheel, and is held and tensioned on both sides by cable connection devices arranged on the front and rear of the displacement device.

[0011] US Pat. No. 4,976,502 A discloses another holding device with two metal cables, by means of which the mounting profile is held displaceably in vertical alignment.

[0012] The disadvantage of these devices is that the function of the holding device depends largely on the adjustment of the cable tension. If the cable tension is not set correctly, the mounting profile may not be held correctly or jamming may occur. It should also be noted that the installation of the displacement device at the installation site is carried out by different installers. This will lead to different settings, which will affect the function of the displacement device and will lead to the need for maintenance.

[0013] Furthermore, when force is applied, excessive loads may occur in improperly mounted slides, which may lead to damage and require readjustment.

[0014] Even if the displacement device is properly adjusted, there is a problem that jamming may occur when force is applied to the displacement device. Summary of the invention

[0015] The invention is therefore based on the object of providing an improved displacement device, by means of which a mounting profile connected or connectable to a one-piece or multi-piece door is displaceable in a vertically aligned manner within a door compartment of a functional entity, piece of furniture or room unit. Furthermore, a method for mounting a displacement device is also defined. Furthermore, a functional entity, piece of furniture or room unit having at least one improved displacement device is provided, by means of which a mounting profile connected to a door, possibly a foldable sliding door, is advantageously displaceable within a door compartment of the functional entity.

[0016] The displacement device should be compact, easy to assemble and take up only little space, so that a large amount of free space can be maintained within the door compartment of the functional entity and the door compartment can be realized with reduced dimensions.

[0017] The displacement device should be easily and precisely adjustable so that the displacement device is always at the appropriate setting, regardless of the respective installer.

[0018] The displacement device should operate reliably even when subjected to undesired forces and should not be subjected to loads that could cause damage. The displacement device should be strong and resilient. Maintenance work and readjustment should be avoided as much as possible, even when operating under high stresses and loads.

[0019] Preferably, the mounting profile of the displacement device should be automatically displaceable within the door compartment, so that the mounted door is automatically retracted into the door compartment or automatically driven out of the door compartment.

[0020] This object is achieved by a displacement device according to claim 1, a method for installing the displacement device according to claim 13 and an improved functional entity according to claim 16, the functional entity having at least one door compartment in which a displacement device according to claim 1 is arranged. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the further claims.

[0021] A displacement device for installation in a door compartment of a functional entity comprises a mounting profile which is held in vertical alignment by a retaining device, the mounting profile being displaceable between a first end position and a second end position of a drive path and which is connected or connectable to a one-piece or multi-piece door by a mounting hinge.

[0022] The holding device includes

[0023] - a first front cable connection device, a first lower roller unit supported at the lower end of the mounting profile, a first upper roller unit supported at the upper end of the mounting profile and a first rear cable connection device, and a first retaining cable connected to the first front cable connection device via a first end piece, routed around the first lower roller unit and the first upper roller unit and connected to the first rear cable connection device via a second end piece; and

[0024] - a second front cable connection device, a second upper roller unit supported at the upper end of the mounting profile, a second lower roller unit supported at the lower end of the mounting profile, and a second rear cable connection device, and a second retaining cable connected to the second front cable connection device via a first end piece, routed around the second upper roller unit and the second lower roller unit, and connected to the second rear cable connection device via a second end piece.

[0025] According to the present invention

[0026] - the second rear cable connection device comprises a second tensioning device with a second tension spring which is connected on the one hand directly or via a second connecting sled and on the other hand to the second holding cable and into which a second tensioning screw is screwed, which second tensioning screw is rotatably held in a fixed position and by means of which the second sled can be displaced along its longitudinal axis within the second carrier profile in order to tension the second tension spring; and

[0027] The first rear cable connection device or the first front cable connection device comprises a first setting device having a first setting sled which is connected on the one hand to a fixed first holding cable and which cooperates on the other hand with a fixedly held setting screw which is rotatably held in the first setting sled.

[0028] Two holding cables of the holding device (eg cables made of steel, possibly coated with precious metal and / or plastic) always keep the mounting profile aligned vertically with the guide rail during displacement in the door compartment. The sliding device can also be realized by kinematic inversion or mirroring of the device parts.

[0029] According to the invention, one of the holding cables of the holding device is always elastically held, while the other holding cable, which is not elastically held, is used to adjust the mounting profile. The elastic holding of the second holding cable ensures that no jamming occurs. Impacts can be elastically absorbed, so that no excessive stress is generated on the displacement device. The displacement device of the invention can therefore be operated for a longer period of time without requiring maintenance. If installed at the front side, the adjustment of the setting device can be carried out directly at the entrance to the door compartment in a simple manner.

[0030] By operating the setting device, the part of the first holding cable acting in the holding device is extended or shortened, thereby adjusting the inclination of the mounting profile. This adjustment is facilitated by the elastic coupling of the second holding cable. The first holding cable prevents the mounting profile from tilting forwards towards the outlet of the door compartment under the weight of the installed door.

[0031] The holding device functions optimally if the tension in the at least elastically held holding cable is set to a predetermined value. Preferably, a predetermined tension is also set or applied in the first holding cable. The tensions set in the holding cables are preferably identical.

[0032] The tension should not be too low nor too high, so as to avoid instabilities on the one hand and jams or overloads on the other hand. By operating the second tensioning device, the pulling sled can be displaced relative to the connecting sled, thereby stretching the tension spring and exerting tension on the second tension rope. By checking the behavior of the displacement device, the optimal value of the tension or mutual displacement of the connecting sled and pulling sled or the tension of the tension spring can be determined. Thus, for installing the displacement device, an optimal mutual displacement of the pulling sled and the connecting sled can always be specified and set.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the first rear cable connection device comprises a first tensioning device with a first connection sled, which is connected on the one hand to the first holding cable and on the other hand to the first pulling sled via a first tension spring, in which a first tensioning screw is held in an axially displaceable manner. By means of the first tensioning screw, the first pulling sled and the first connection sled are displaceable relative to each other within the first carrier profile along its longitudinal axis. Preferably, the first tensioning device and the second tensioning device have identical parts.

[0034] In this preferred embodiment, the first and second holding cables can be tensioned with a predetermined tensioning force. The first connection skid is then fixed to the load-bearing housing, after which the vertical alignment of the mounting profile is achieved by operating the setting device as described above. Thus, the holding device always works with an optimal setting and an optimal tensioning force in the holding cables.

[0035] In order to set a desired tension in the holding cable in the traction device, a measuring rod is preferably connected to the pulling sled, the measuring rod overlaps with the connecting sled and indicates the mutual displacement of the pulling sled and the connecting sled. Alternatively, the measuring rod is connected to the connecting sled, the measuring rod overlaps with the pulling sled and indicates the mutual displacement of the pulling sled and the connecting sled.

[0036] The measuring rod preferably comprises a control element, for example a control window or a pointer, by means of which a position is indicated on the connecting sled or the pulling sled, which position corresponds to the mutual displacement of the connecting sled and the pulling sled and can be read at the control element.

[0037] The connecting skid or the pulling skid overlapped by the measuring rod has a corresponding grid or color for easy reading. Preferably, a marking such as a color or a scale is provided. The tensioning screw is turned until the control element reaches a mark set according to a previously determined recommendation. For example, a table is provided in which the tensioning forces set for different sizes and weights of doors to be held are indicated. The carrying profile preferably has at least one elongated profile opening so that the mutual displacement of the connecting skid and the pulling skid within the carrying profile is visible.

[0038] The load-bearing profile that preferably is provided with inlet roller at its inlet is preferably aligned perpendicular to the guide rail.Like this, a relatively long load-bearing channel can be provided in the load-bearing profile, which allows the connecting skid and the associated pulling skid to be adjusted over a long distance as required.

[0039] If the first front cable connection device or the first rear cable connection device comprises a clamping device by which the associated first end piece or second end piece of the first retaining cable can be clamped and retained, and / or if the second front cable connection device or the second rear cable connection device comprises a clamping device by which the associated first end piece or second end piece of the second retaining cable can be clamped and retained, the installation of the displacement device described below can be carried out particularly easily. For example, due to these measures, the retaining cable does not need to be precisely dimensioned and provided with a connection eye. Instead, the retaining cable can be inserted manually, tensioned manually and clamped. Regardless of the size of the displacement device, the retaining cable can be advantageously installed. Afterwards, preferably, the retaining cable can be pre-tensioned to a predetermined tensioning force by a tensioning spring. Preferably, the clamping device is provided in the form of a connecting skid in the rear cable connection device.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting profile is connected at the upper end piece to an upper guide carriage, which has an upper carriage body and is slidably mounted on the upper rail; and / or the mounting profile is connected at the lower end piece to a lower guide carriage, which has a lower carriage body and is slidably mounted on the lower rail. By using the upper guide carriage and / or the lower guide carriage, forces acting vertically on the mounting profile are absorbed. Therefore, only torques acting on the mounting profile need to be absorbed by the retaining device.

[0041] Preferably, the first front cable connection device is arranged at the front end of the lower guide rail and is held thereby, and / or the first rear cable connection device is arranged at the rear end of the upper guide rail and is held thereby, and / or the second front cable connection device is arranged at the front end of the upper guide rail and is held thereby, and / or the second rear cable connection device is arranged at the rear end of the lower guide rail. This results in a simple and stable assembly of the cable connection device. Thus, only the guide rail has to be connected to the side wall of the functional entity, while practically all other parts of the displacement device (including the front stop device) can be connected to the guide rail.

[0042] The optional drive device is also connected to one of the mounting profiles or the guide carriage.Thus, the displacement device of the invention can be easily installed in any door compartment in any configuration.

[0043] The first lower roller unit and the second lower roller unit are preferably held coaxially aligned with each other by a lower bearing shaft connected to the lower carriage body of the lower guide carriage. The first upper roller unit and the second upper roller unit are preferably held coaxially aligned with each other by an upper bearing shaft, which is connected to the upper carriage body of the upper guide carriage. It is also possible to connect the bearing shaft to the mounting profile. However, the bearing shaft can be integrated into the guide carriage in a simpler way. This also leads to a greater distance between the two bearing shafts. The roller units can rotate freely and independently of each other, so that the displacement of the mounting profile can occur without friction. This also ensures that automatic displacement can be effectively carried out by at least one drive device.

[0044] The displacement device according to the invention preferably comprises at least one drive device with a housing, in which a drive element and a transmission medium are provided, via which forces can be transmitted from the drive element to the mounting profile.

[0045] For example, so-called dampers / pull-in devices are used, with the aid of which the mounting profile or a part connected thereto is clamped and pulled to the end stop.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the drive device is firmly connected to one of the mounting profile or the guide carriage via its housing and can be moved together with the mounting profile. The transmission medium of the drive device is preferably a pull rope, which is guided from the drive device directly or via the first deflection roller or via the first and second deflection rollers to a pull rope connection, which is fixedly arranged at the first end position or the second end position of the drive path or connected to a part of the functional entity.

[0047] By means of the drive device, the mounting profile can be automatically moved in one direction towards the first end position or in the other direction towards the second end position.

[0048] The drive device or the housing of the drive device is preferably arranged laterally close to the mounting profile or laterally close to one of the guide carriages relative to the displacement axis of the mounting profile or relative to the drive path of the mounting profile. This arrangement of the drive device avoids shortening of the drive path. That is, it is avoided that the housing of the drive device hits the stop before one of the guide carriages or the mounting profile hits the stop. The use of the drive device thus does not impose any restrictions on the displaceability of the mounting profile.

[0049] It is particularly advantageous that the drive device is slidably connected to the mounting profile or the guide carriage and does not have to be mounted on a part of the functional entity inside the door compartment which is difficult to access and which may only be accessible after removing the rear wall or the side wall of the functional entity. Maintenance of the displacement device is also facilitated. For example, if the drive device needs to be repaired, the drive device can be easily accessed by simply pulling the mounting profile towards the front of the door compartment.

[0050] The drive device can also be fully or partially integrated into the associated guide carriage, so that a more compact design of the displacement device can be achieved.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the drive element is a spring element, a drive spring, such as a coil spring or a helical spring, and the pull rope is wound on a pull rope drum, which is rotatably mounted and connected to the drive element, whereby the drive element can be tensioned by rotating the pull rope drum in one direction and the drive element can be released by rotating the pull rope drum in another direction.

[0052] If a first deflection roller is provided, it is preferably connected directly or indirectly to the mounting profile or to one of the guide carriages. If a second deflection roller is provided, it is also preferably connected directly or indirectly to the mounting profile or to one of the guide carriages. In this way, the pull rope can be guided as required and the displacement device can still be constructed compactly. The pull rope is guided and deflected close to the mounting profile, so that no additional space is required.

[0053] Preferably, the first deflection roller is mounted displaceably relative to the housing of the drive device and relative to the second deflection roller, whereby the pretensioning force can be transmitted to the drive element. The pull cable is preferably guided from the housing of the drive device to the first deflection roller and preferably back at least approximately parallel to the second deflection roller.

[0054] The first deflection roller is preferably rotatably held by a deflection unit, which is held in a guide channel of the mounting profile in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting manner. This allows an advantageous adjustment of the displacement device, a pretensioning of the drive element and an adaptation to the weight of a one-piece or multi-piece door connected to the mounting profile. The deflection unit is preferably slidable parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mounting profile and can be fixed in position with a locking screw. For example, the body of the deflection unit engages in the guide channel in a form-fitting manner and is clamped therein by means of a locking screw. Due to the length of the guide channel, which preferably extends over the entire length of the mounting profile, a correspondingly large adjustment range can be covered by moving the deflection unit by moving it by hand.

[0055] The draw cord connection is preferably located on a stop device which comprises a stop buffer which is mounted in the upper or lower guide rail and forms an end stop for the upper or lower guide carriage.

[0056] Preferably, two drive devices are provided, which are fixedly connected to each of the mounting profiles or the guide slides and are displaceable together with the mounting profiles, and each drive device has a draw rope, which is guided from the associated drive device directly or via a first deflection roller or via a first deflection roller and a second deflection roller to an associated draw rope connector, which is fixedly arranged at a first end position or a second end position of the drive path and to which the draw rope is connected.

[0057] In another preferred embodiment, the mounting profile is connected to an auxiliary drive, which has an extendable piston supported by a spring element and which, after the mounting profile has entered the door compartment, abuts against the stop. As soon as the mounting profile moves towards the first end position inside the door compartment, the spring element of the auxiliary drive is tensioned. After reaching the end position, the spring element of the auxiliary drive is loaded and can support the drive device at the beginning of the drive of the mounting profile towards the second end position. Thus, the drive device and the auxiliary drive are ideally complementary. The auxiliary drive is therefore used over short distances of 2 cm-10 cm for a fast acceleration of the door from the end position, while the main drive continues to move the mounting profile over the entire drive path.

[0058] The mounting profile is preferably connected to a cyclically operated locking device, which comprises an actuating rod and a clamp, which interacts with a fixedly mounted clamping element and is cyclically lockable and unlockable by pressure on the actuating rod. By a first displacement of the actuating rod supported by a spring, the clamp is closed, and by a second displacement of the actuating rod, the clamp is opened again. The actuating rod is preferably arranged coaxially with the center axis of the clamp, so that the actuating rod can be actuated by the clamping element, which is clamped by the clamp and released again.

[0059] Preferably, the locking device comprises a locking body having a locking groove on one or both sides, in which the locking element engages. The locking groove preferably rotates around a central locking part and is designed in such a way that during the movement of the actuating rod, the associated locking element is guided cyclically around the locking part in the same direction and during each rotation is engaged once in the locking area and released again from the locking area. When the first end position inside the door compartment is reached, the locking device is thus actuated and held by the clamp. By pressing on the mounted door, the drive rod is moved and the clamp is released again. Thus, the door can be locked inside the door compartment by one push and released by another push.

[0060] The displacement device of the invention can be used for any functional entity comprising a lockable space, which is usually defined by walls or partitions. Functional entities can have spaces defined by wooden walls and can involve furniture, in particular wardrobes. However, functional entities can also have spaces defined by walls that can be locked by single-piece or multi-piece doors, which may be foldable sliding doors.

[0061] The holding device can be easily adapted to the size of the door compartment and always interacts optimally with the mounting profile. If a longer mounting profile has to be moved over a longer distance in a larger door compartment, only longer holding cables need to be provided.

[0062] The retaining cables can be guided close to the guide rails and preferably extend at a short distance from the mounting profile when changing from the upper rail to the lower rail or vice versa. During these changes of direction, the retaining cables usually cross approximately in the middle of the mounting profile. The space inside the door compartment is practically only occupied by the rod-shaped mounting profile.

[0063] By avoiding scissor-like crossings, the displacement device of the invention can be constructed compactly.The door compartment can accommodate larger single-piece or multi-piece doors, possibly foldable sliding doors, which are connected to the mounting profile by means of mounting hinges.

[0064] The functional entity may have one or more door compartments. For example, door compartments are provided on both sides of the functional entity, the sides of the functional entity defining the usable space of the functional entity. The door compartment may also have two displacement devices with single-piece or multi-piece doors (possibly foldable sliding doors), by which the usable space of the functional entity can be closed on both sides of the door compartment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0079] Figure 1 A functional entity or piece of furniture 1 of the invention in the form of a wardrobe is shown, in which a door compartment 18 is integrated on each side. The piece of furniture 1 comprises side walls 1A, an upper panel 1B, a lower panel 1C and partitions 1D, each partition delimiting a door compartment 18 together with the associated side wall 1A. In each door compartment 18, a displacement device 10 of the invention with a mounting profile 14 is arranged, which in a preferred embodiment is automatically displaceable within the door compartment 18. The mounting profile 14 holds a door 11, which retracts into or moves out of the associated door compartment 18 when the mounting profile 14 is displaced.

[0080] A foldable sliding door 11 is held in the first door compartment 18, the sliding door 11 having a mutually hinged first door element 111 and a second door element 112. On the other hand, the door 11 held inside the second door compartment 18 by the mounting profile 14 has only one door element 111.

[0081] The foldable sliding door 11 is fully withdrawn from the first door compartment 10 and fully unfolded, so that the door elements 111, 112 are aligned in one plane. The door elements 111, 112 of the foldable sliding door 11 and the door element 111 of the single-piece door 11 have the same size. Therefore, the foldable sliding door 11 in the closed position covers two thirds of the storage cabinet opening 100.

[0082] It is symbolically shown that the rear edge of the first door element 111 is connected via a mounting hinge 131 to a mounting profile 14 which remains at the exit of the door compartment 18 after the foldable sliding door 11 has been moved out.

[0083] The front edge of the first door element 111 is connected to the rear edge of the second door element 112 by means of a door hinge 132, the front edge of the second door element 112 being connected at the top to the front carriage 5F. The front carriage 5F is guided in a support track 150 comprising track elements interconnected by curved sections, one of the track elements extending into the associated door compartment 18 and one of the track elements extending along the front of the piece of furniture 1. When entering the door compartment 18 and when travelling along the front of the piece of furniture 1, the front carriage 5F runs in front, whereby a change of direction occurs in the curved section.

[0084] Figure 2 Shown is the layout Figure 1 The shifting device 10 in the first door compartment 18 of the functional entity 1 has a Figure 6 or Figure 7 The holding device 4 (in Figure 2 ), the mounting profile 14 is displaceably held in vertical alignment by means of a retaining device.

[0085] Optionally, the mounting profile 14 which is held in the vertical direction by the holding device 4 and is connected to the foldable sliding door 11 via a mounting hinge 131 is connected to the drive device 2 and the auxiliary drive 3 .

[0086] The mounting profile 14 is displaceable along the drive path S between a first end position S1 at the rear of the door compartment 18 and a second end position S2 at the front of the door compartment 18 .

[0087] As reference below Figure 6 As further described, the mounting profile 14 is connected at the upper end to an upper guide carriage 5 guided in an upper guide rail 15 and at the lower end to a lower guide carriage 6 guided in a lower guide rail 16. The upper guide carriage 5 comprises a support roller 591 and a guide roller 592 and has a supporting function in addition to its guiding function. The lower guide carriage 6 comprises a guide roller 692 guided in the lower guide rail 16.

[0088] The upper guide carriage 5 and the lower guide carriage 6 abut against each other at the second end position S2. Figure 2 The upper stopper 7 and the lower stopper 8 in the embodiment will be referred to below. Figure 6 , Figure 8a and Figure 8b A more detailed explanation is given.

[0089] In the rear first end position S1 , the stop device 90 is provided with a stop element or a stop plate 9 which limits the drive path S of the mounting profile 14 at the rear of the door compartment 18 .

[0090] The displacement device 10 of the present invention preferably comprises a drive device 2 with a pull rope 22, which is Figure 2 By means of the drive device 2, the mounting profile 14 is preferably displaceable over the entire drive path S.

[0091] If the drive device 2 is not only arranged at the upper end or upper guide carriage 5 of the mounting profile 14, but also at the lower end or lower guide carriage 6 of the mounting profile 14, a more favorable movement of the mounting profile 14 can be achieved. It is desired that the mounting profile 14 has a high acceleration at the beginning and then moves smoothly.

[0092] Optionally, an auxiliary drive 3 is provided, by means of which the at least one drive device 2 is assisted in the region of the first rear end position S1. As soon as the mounting profile 14 is released from the rear end position S1 or the stop plate 9, it is additionally accelerated over a relatively short distance by the auxiliary drive 3. With the auxiliary drive 3, a rapid movement sequence is achieved. The mounting profile 14 is not moved slowly from the end position S1, but is accelerated rapidly.

[0093] Damping devices 99 are provided above and below the auxiliary drive 3, comprising damper pistons 991 which are displaced when striking the stop plate 9 and damp the movement of the mounting profile 14 and avoid interfering impacts.

[0094] A cyclically operated locking device 95 is also arranged between the two damping devices 99, the locking device comprising an actuating rod 952 and a clamp 951 which can cooperate with a fixedly mounted clamping element 96 and which can be cyclically locked and unlocked by the pressure exerted by the clamping element 96 on the actuating rod 952 when the first end position S1 is reached (see Fig.11 ). By manual or motorized pressure on the locking device 95, it can thus be locked and unlocked again by further pressure.

[0095] Figure 2Also shown is a pull-in device E, by means of which the mounting profile 14 or one of the guide carriages 5, 6 can be clamped and pulled into the first end position S1. Thus, the holding device 4 of the invention can be used without one or more drive devices 2 or optionally in combination with one or more drive devices 2.

[0096] Figure 3 Shows Figure 2 A part of a displacement device 10, wherein the upper end piece of the mounting profile 14 is connected to an upper guide carriage 5, which is slidably mounted in an upper guide rail 15 and connected to a drive device 2. The drive device 2 comprises a drive unit 21 having a housing 210, in which a drive element 211 is arranged and in which a rope drum 212 connected to the housing is rotatably held, on which the rope 22 is wound. The drive element 211 is preferably a power spring, such as a helical spring or a coil spring, which is tensioned or released when the rope drum 212 rotates. The rope drum 212 is rotatably mounted via a bearing shaft 215 (schematically shown). The helical drive element 211 also surrounds the bearing shaft 215 and is firmly connected to the rope drum 212 via a first end piece 2111 and to the bearing shaft 215 via a second end piece 2112. Thus, when the draw cord drum 212 rotates while pulling out the draw cord 22, the first end piece 2111 of the drive element 211 is guided around the bearing shaft 215, while the second end piece 2112 of the drive element 211 remains in place. Once the draw cord 22 is released, the draw cord drum 212 is turned back again by the tensioned drive element 211. For example, if the coupling member 221 is hooked on the draw cord connector at the front end of the draw cord 22 and the mounting profile 14 is retracted into the door compartment 18, the draw cord 22 is pulled out of the drive unit 21, the draw cord drum 212 is turned and the drive element 211 is tensioned. When the second end position S2 is reached, the mounting profile 14 can now be locked with the locking device 95. Once this locking device is released, the draw cord drum 212 is turned back by the drive element 211, the draw cord 22 is retracted again, and the mounting profile 14 moves from the second end position S2 to the first end position S1. As a result, the door 11 connected to the mounting profile 14 automatically moves out of the door compartment 18.

[0097] By connecting the drive device 2 to the mounting profile 14 or the guide carriage 5, it is no longer necessary to install it on the rear wall, partition wall 1D or side wall 1A of the functional entity 1. It is particularly advantageous that the displacement device 10 can be installed in door compartments 18 of different sizes without modification. As described below, it can be adjusted and set with minimal effort. Even if the displacement device 10 is provided with the drive device 2 on the upper side of the mounting profile 14 and the drive device 2 on the lower side of the mounting profile 14, the installation of the displacement device 10 can also be carried out with minimal effort.

[0098] Figure 3It is also shown that the mounting profile 14 has two guide channels 141 , 142 and a mounting channel 143 , in which the mounting hinge 131 is held in a form-fitting manner and can be fixed by means of a locking screw 1311 .

[0099] At least one of the guide channels 141 , 142 serves to hold a deflection unit 230 , which can be moved along the mounting profile 14 and is fixed in place by means of a locking screw.

[0100] The upper guide carriage 5 comprises a two-part carriage body 51 having a first carriage body part 511 and a second carriage body part 512, by which a vertically aligned support roller 591 and a horizontally aligned guide roller 592 are held. The two carriage body parts 511, 512 can be connected to each other integrally, but in this embodiment are connected to each other by a coupling member 55. The support roller 591 is supported on the slideway element 151 of the upper guide rail 15, and the guide roller 592 is guided in the guide channel 152 of the upper guide rail 15. A buffer or damper 58 is inserted into the carriage body 51. In addition, the upper guide carriage 5 comprises a stop member 53, which can cooperate with a buffer or damper on the front stop device 7.

[0101] Figure 4 The mounting profile 14 is shown as seen from the other side and separated from the mounting profile 14. Figure 3 The upper guide carriage 5, the deflection unit 230 with the first deflection roller 23 is held on the mounting profile so that the deflection unit can be moved and fixed. The deflection unit 230 is held in the guide channel 141 or 142 in a form-fitting manner and can be moved and locked in place along the guide channel. The pull rope 22 of the drive device 2 is guided around the first deflection roller 23 to the second deflection roller 24, which is held by the carriage body 51 of the upper guide carriage 5. The pull rope 22 is further guided from the second deflection roller 24 to the pull rope connector 72, which is arranged on the upper stop device 7 (see Figure 5 ).

[0102] By moving the deflection unit 230 along the mounting profile 14, the path from the cable drum 212 to the second deflection roller 24 can be extended or shortened. By extending this path, a corresponding length of the cable 22 is pulled out of the drive unit 21, the cable drum 212 rotates accordingly, and the drive element 211 is pre-tensioned accordingly. As a result, the pre-tensioning of the drive element 211 causes it to act on the cable 22 with greater tension, and the mounting profile 14 is moved from the first end position S1 to the second end position S2 with greater force. This adjustment can be easily done in a few steps.

[0103] Figure 4It is also shown that the first carriage body part 511 comprises a downwardly directed mounting knife 5111 which can be inserted into the mounting hole 140 of the mounting profile 14. A portion of the mounting profile 14 is held between the mounting knife 5111 and the retaining plate 5112.

[0104] The first carriage body part 511 also holds the bearing shaft 415, on which the first upper roller unit 411 and the second upper roller unit 412 are rotatably held. The first roller unit 411 and the second roller unit 412 forming the roller pair 41 are part of the holding device 4 described below. A functional part 57 is placed above the roller pair 41, and the functional part is fixed. Figure 6 The retaining cables 421 , 422 are shown.

[0105] In the second carriage body part 512, a damper channel 5120 is provided, in which the carriage damper 58 is arranged and fixed by means of a locking element (possibly a locking screw 5121).

[0106] Figure 5 The drive device 2 is shown. Figure 2 At the upper part of the shifting device 10, the pull rope 22 is guided from the drive device via the first deflection roller 23 and the second deflection roller 24 of the deflection unit 230 to the pull rope connecting piece 72 on the upper stop device 7, the deflection unit 230 is slidably connected to the mounting profile 14, the second deflection roller 24 is connected to the upper guide slide 5, and the upper stop device 7 is held on the front side of the upper guide rail 15.

[0107] To put the drive device 2 into operation, the coupling member 221 is grasped at the end of the pull rope 2, guided around the first deflection roller 23 and the second deflection roller 24, and hooked into the pull rope connection 72 of the upper stop device 7. This process can be accomplished in a few simple steps.

[0108] The stopper 7 is composed of a mounting beam 711 (see Figure 8b ) is held in the holding channel 157, which is arranged at the bottom of the slideway element 151 of the upper guide rail 15. Therefore, above the slideway element 151, the running mechanism is provided with a support roller 591 and a guide roller 592 (see Figure 3 ) and an adjustment section 159 for adjusting the damper engagement depth, which can interact with the carriage damper 58. However, on the underside of the slideway element 151, a drive technology with a pull rope 22 and a holding technology of the holding device 4 with holding cables 421, 422 are provided (see also Figure 6 ).

[0109] Depending on the presence of a door with one door element 111 or two door elements 111, 112, the upper stop device 7 comprises on one or both sides a spacing roller 79 on which the retained door elements 111, 112 can roll without contacting the body 71 of the upper stop device 7. In addition, the upper stop device 7 comprises a cable connection device 74, by means of which one of the retaining cables 421 of the retaining device 4 is retained. In addition, a stop damper or stop buffer 78 is provided, which can cooperate with the stop member 53 of the upper guide carriage 5 (see Figure 4 ).

[0110] Figure 6 Shows Figure 2 The displacement device 10 has a holding device 4 according to the invention, which includes two holding cables 421, 422. The upper guide carriage 5 arranged at the upper end of the mounting profile 14 is guided in the upper guide rail 15, while the lower guide carriage 6 arranged at the lower end of the mounting profile 14 is guided in the lower guide rail 16. An upper stop device 7 is shown on the front side of the upper guide rail 15, and a lower stop device 8 is shown on the front side of the lower guide rail 16 (see also Figure 7 ).exist Figure 6 In the figure, the guide rails 15, 16 are not shown.

[0111] Already referred to Figure 5 The upper front stop 7 with the mounting beam 711, the draw cord connection 72 and the cable connection 74 for the second holding cable 422 are explained. The swivel lever 75 serves to hold the mounting profile 14 in the front end position S2. In this position, the mounting profile 14 remains vertically aligned, so that the door 11 or the door elements 111, 112 can be mounted particularly easily. The upper cable connection 74 comprises a mounting channel 741 (see Figure 8b ), the mounting channel has an adjacent recess into which the end piece of the upper retaining cable 422 can be inserted.

[0112] Refer to the following Figure 8a and Figure 8b The lower stop 8 and the upper stop 7 are described. The draw cord connection 74 of the upper stop 7 holds the second draw cord 422. The draw cord connection 84 of the lower stop 8 comprises a setting skid 842 which is slidably mounted and adjustable by a setting screw 845. The setting screw 845 and the setting skid 842 form a setting device 840. By operating the setting screw 845, the first holding cable 421 can be tightened or loosened, and the mounting profile 14 can be vertically aligned.

[0113] The retaining device 4 includes a first front cable connecting device 84, a first lower roller unit 431 arranged at the lower end of the mounting profile 14, a first upper roller unit 411 arranged at the upper end of the mounting profile 14, and a first rear cable connecting device 44 arranged at the rear end of the upper guide rail 15, and a first retaining cable 421, the first retaining cable is connected to the first front cable connecting device 84 through a first end piece, runs counterclockwise around the first lower roller unit 431 and clockwise around the first upper roller unit 411, and is connected to the first rear cable connecting device 44 through a second end piece.

[0114] In addition, the retaining device 4 includes a second front cable connecting device 74, a second upper roller unit 412 arranged at the upper end of the mounting profile 14, a second lower roller unit 432 arranged at the lower end of the mounting profile 14, and a second rear cable connecting device 45 arranged at the rear end of the lower guide rail 16, and a second retaining cable 422, the second retaining cable is connected to the second front cable connecting device 74 through a first end piece, runs clockwise around the second upper roller unit 412 and counterclockwise around the second lower roller unit 432, and is connected to the second rear cable connecting device 45 through a second end piece.

[0115] In the preferred embodiment, the first front cable connection device 84 is provided on the lower stop device 8 at the front end of the lower rail 16. In the preferred embodiment, the second front cable connection device 74 is arranged at the upper stop device 7 at the front end of the upper rail 15.

[0116] The second rear cable connection device 45 comprises a second tensioning device 450 with a second tension spring 453, which is connected directly or via a second connection sled 452 (shown in dashed lines) to the second holding cable 422 and, on the other hand, to a second sled 454, into which a fixedly held second tensioning screw 455 is screwed, by means of which the second sled 454 is displaceable along its longitudinal axis within the second carrier profile 459 in order to tension the second tension spring 453. During installation, the tension spring 453 is tensioned and a corresponding tension force is transmitted to the second holding cable 422.

[0117] Thus, in the holding device 4 of the invention, one of the holding cables 421, 422, in this embodiment the second holding cable 422, is always held elastically. On the other hand, the first holding cable 421 is held non-elastically or firmly after installation by the first front cable connection device 84 and the first rear cable connection device 44. The vertical alignment of the mounting profile 14 can be achieved by the first setting device 840 or, at the other end, by a first adjustment device provided in the first rear cable connection device 44.

[0118] Preferably, the second tension spring 453 is pre-tensioned or stretched by a predetermined amount. If the second tension spring 453 is connected to the pull sled 454 on the one hand and to the connecting sled 452 on the other hand, the mutual displacement of the pull sled 454 and the connecting sled 452 corresponds to the tension in the tension spring 453. Therefore, the applied tension can be easily determined based on the displacement. When the connecting sled 452 is used, the holding cable 422 can be connected more easily, as described below.

[0119] refer to Figure 7 It is further explained that, preferably, before the first holding cable 421 is fixed, tension is also applied to the first holding cable 421. By applying tension to the second holding cable 422 or the first holding cable 421 and the second holding cable 422, the above advantages are generated.

[0120] Already referred to Figure 3 The drive device 2 is preferably arranged and is held by the upper guide carriage 5. The pull rope 22 of the drive device 2 is guided via a first deflection roller 23 and a second deflection roller 24 to a pull rope connection 72 arranged on the upper front stop 7. The deflection unit 230 is held in a positively locking manner in the first guide channel 141 by means of a forming element 232 and is slidable along the mounting profile 14.

[0121] Figure 7 Shows Figure 6 A displacement device 10 of the present invention has two rear cable connection devices 44, 45 of the holding device 4, each cable connection device comprising a bearing profile 449, 459 connected to the rear end piece of the upper rail 15 or the lower rail 16. The bearing profile 449, 459 comprises an elongated bearing opening 4490, 4590, through which only part of the device part is visible. Therefore, the device part arranged in the bearing profile 449, 459 is reproduced and shown separately, each device part comprising a tension spring 443, 453. The tension spring 443, 453 is also shown separately.

[0122] Each cable connection device 44, 45 comprises an inlet roller 441, 451, a connection skid 442, 452, a tension spring 443, 453, a pull skid 444, 454, a tensioning screw 445, 455 and a screw holder 446, 456 anchored in a carrier profile 449, 459, by means of which the tensioning screw 445, 455 is retained. The screw holders 446, 456 are each connected to the corresponding carrier profile 449, 459 by means of mounting screws 4461. The adjacent end piece of the associated retention cable 421, 422 is guided via the inlet roller 441, 451 to the connection skid 442, 452, which is connected to the pull skid 444, 454 by means of the tension spring 443, 453, which in turn is connected to the screw holder 446, 456 by means of the tensioning screw 445, 455. By tightening the tensioning screws 445, 455, the sleds 445, 455 are pulled toward the screw holders 446, 456, and the tension springs 443, 453 are tensioned. The tension applied by the tension springs 443, 453 is transmitted to the connected holding cables 421, 422 via the connecting sleds 442, 452. Thus, the aforementioned parts of the cable connecting devices 44, 45 form tensioning devices 440, 450, by which the tension in the holding cables 421, 422 can be adjusted.

[0123] refer to Figure 6 , it is described that the connection skid 452 is only optionally provided in the second cable connection device 45. However, in Figure 7 In the first cable connection device 44, which preferably also includes a tensioning device 440, a connecting skid 442 is always present, so that the first pull rope 421 can be fixed after the tensioning force is applied.

[0124] If the first connection sled 442 is fixed in the first holding cable 421 after setting the tensioning force, the set tensioning force is then maintained. For this purpose, a locking screw 448 is provided in the connection sled 442 of the first rear cable connection device 44, which locks through a profile opening 4490 in the support profile 449 and clamps to the support profile 449 when tightened. Therefore, a part of the support profile 449 is symbolically shown below the locking screw 448.

[0125] The installation of the displacement device of the present invention is preferably carried out as follows:

[0126] The mounting profile 14 is vertically aligned and preferably fixed. This fixing is done, for example, by locking levers 75 , 85 located at the stop devices 7 and 8 .

[0127] - The first holding cable 421 is connected to the first front cable connection device 84 via the first end piece, passes around the first lower or upper roller unit 431 and the first upper or lower roller unit 411, and is connected to the first rear cable connection device 44 via the second end piece and is manually tensioned. The roller units 411, 431 are looped once clockwise by the first holding cable 421,

[0128] And cycle once counterclockwise, or vice versa.

[0129] -The second holding cable 422 is connected to the second front cable connection device 74 through the first end piece, passes around the second upper roller or lower roller unit 412 and around the second lower roller or upper roller upper roller unit 432, and is connected to the second rear cable connection device 45 through the second end piece and is manually tensioned. The roller units 412, 432 are passed around once clockwise and once counterclockwise by the second holding cable 421, and vice versa.

[0130] The second holding cable 422 is connected to the second connecting sled 452 in the second rear cable connecting device 45 , after which the second tensioning screw 455 is turned and the second pulling sled 454 and the second connecting sled 452 connected to each other by the second tension spring 453 are displaced relative to each other by a predetermined amount.

[0131] - The first front setting sled 842 of the first front setting device 840 of the first front cable connecting device 84, which is connected on one side to the fixed first retaining cable 421, is now adjusted by means of a fixed setting screw 845 in order to vertically align the previously released mounting profile 14 or to optimize the vertical alignment of the mounting profile 14.

[0132] After the installation process is completed, a predetermined tensioning force is applied to the second holding cables 422 , and the mounting profile 14 is vertically aligned by means of the tensioned first holding cables 421 .

[0133] The mounting process is optimized by applying a predetermined tension in the first holding cable 421 before adjusting or vertically aligning the mounting profile 14. After applying a predetermined tension in both holding cables 421, 422, the effort of adjusting or vertically aligning the mounting profile 14 is reduced.

[0134] In a preferred embodiment of the installation method, the first retaining cable 421 in the first rear cable connecting device 44 is additionally connected to the first connecting sled 442, and then the first tensioning screw 445 is rotated, and the first pulling sled 444 and the first connecting sled 442 connected to each other by the first tension spring 443 are shifted relative to each other by a predetermined amount.

[0135] After this step, the predetermined tension is imprinted in the two sleds 421, 422. These adjustments are preferably made according to measuring rods which indicate the mutual displacement of the connecting sleds 442, 452 and the sleds 444, 454, preferably on a scale with markings, possibly color markings.

[0136] After applying the predetermined tensile stress, the first connection skid 442 is fixed to the corresponding first load-bearing profile 449. Then, as described above, the first front setting device 840 is actuated to vertically align the no longer fixed mounting profile 14. Typically, only minimal corrections are required.

[0137] Figure 7 It is shown symbolically that, optionally, a second drive device 2' and a second sliding deflection unit with a first deflection roller 23' can also be arranged on the lower side of the mounting profile 14. The lower pull rope will be guided in turn via the first deflection roller 23' and the deflection roller attached to the lower guide carriage 6, for example, to a pull rope connection 82 on the lower stop 8. Thus, the second drive device 2' and the corresponding device parts can be provided practically as a mirror image of the first drive device 2 with minimal effort.

[0138] Figure 8a The spatial diagram shows Figure 7 The upper stop device 7 and the lower stop device 8 are provided. Figure 8b The cross-sectional view shows Figure 7 The upper stop device 7 and the lower stop device 8 are provided.

[0139] The upper stopper 7 and the lower stopper 8 each include a device body 71, 81 and a mounting beam 711, 811 formed thereon, which can be locked in the associated upper rail 15 or lower rail 16 by means of a locking screw 712, 812. The upper stopper 7 includes a hook-shaped drawstring connector 72, in which the coupling member 221 of the drawstring 22 can be hooked.

[0140] Furthermore, each stop device 7, 8 preferably comprises on both sides a spacing roller 79, 89 which holds the passing door 11 at a certain distance and a rotatable locking lever 75, 85, by means of which the mounting profile 14 can be fixed in front for installation work, maintenance work or adjustment. If a second drive device 2' is provided, the locking lever 85 can also be used as a pull rope connection 82. The locking lever 75, 85 is held by a holding shell 710, 810, which is connected to the device body 71, 81 by screws.

[0141] Furthermore, each stop device 7 , 8 comprises a preferably adjustable stop buffer 78 , 88 having a buffer body 781 , 881 and an adjustment screw 782 , 882 .

[0142] The cable connection device 74 of the upper stop device 7 is simple and comprises a holding block 742 having an upwardly open mounting channel 741 in which the end piece of the second holding cable 422 can be hooked.

[0143] The lower stop device 8 comprises a cable connection device 84 with a setting device 840, which is formed by a slidable setting sled 842 and a setting screw 845, by which the setting sled 842 is slidable in a carrier profile 843. The setting sled 842 comprises a mounting channel 841, into which the end piece of the first holding cable 421 can be hooked.

[0144] Furthermore, the lower stop device 8 comprises a plunger 86 which is axially displaceable by means of an adjustment screw 861 and which can cooperate with an integrated carriage damper 68 of the lower guide carriage 6 .

[0145] Figure 9a The upper rear cable connection device 44 is shown. Figure 9b The lower rear cable connection means 45 are shown, which have been referred to in Figure 7 A brief description is given.

[0146] The inlet roller 441 of the upper rear cable connection device 44 is held by a roller holder 4411, which can be tensioned in the support profile 449 via a tensioning element 4412. The inlet roller 451 of the lower rear cable connection device 45 is held by a roller holder 4511, which can be tensioned in the support profile 459 via a tensioning element 4512.

[0147] The optional connecting sleds 442, 452 include clamping jaws 4421, 4422 and 4521, 4522, respectively, which can be pressed against each other by clamping screws 4423, 4523 to fix the end pieces of the corresponding retaining cables 421, 422 inserted therebetween. Therefore, the retaining cables 421, 422 can be pulled through the connecting sleds 442, 452, manually tensioned and fixed.

[0148] Also shown is a locking screw 448, by means of which the first connecting sled 442 can be fixed to the corresponding first bearing profile 449. After the first connecting sled 442 has been fixed, the first tension spring 443 is no longer active. Subsequently, the elasticity of the holding device 4 is determined by the still active tension spring 453 of the second cable connecting device 45.

[0149] As described above, the mentioned parts of the cable connection device 44, 45 form a tensioning device 440, 450, by means of which the tension in the holding cable 421, 422 can be adjusted. A measuring rod 447, 457 with a control window 4570 is provided for setting the desired tension. The measuring rod 457 is connected to the connecting sled 452 and overlaps with a scale 4471, 4571 provided on the pulling sled 444, 454. Thus, the mutual displacement of the connecting sled 442, 452 and the pulling sled 444, 454, which are slidably mounted in the carrying profile 449, 459, can be read by the measuring rod 447, 457.

[0150] Fig.10 Shows Figure 2 The auxiliary drive 3 is held by the mounting profile 14 and cooperates with the rear end stop 9 after the sliding door 11 has been pushed into the door compartment 18. The auxiliary drive 3 comprises a housing 33 and at least one extendable piston 32, which is supported by a spring element 31 and engages the end stop after the mounting profile 14 has entered the door compartment 18. As soon as the mounting profile 14 moves towards the first end position S1 inside the door compartment 18, the spring element 31 of the auxiliary drive 3 is tensioned. After reaching the end position, the spring element 31 of the auxiliary drive 3 is loaded and can support the drive device 2 at the beginning of the drive of the mounting profile 14 towards the second end position S2.

[0151] The mounting profile 14 is also connected to a cyclically operated locking device 95, which comprises an actuating rod 952 and a clamp 951, which cooperates with a fixedly mounted clamping element 96 and is cyclically lockable and releasable by applying pressure to the actuating rod 952. By a first displacement of the actuating rod 952, which is arranged in the device housing 953 and supported by a spring, the clamp 951 is closed, and by a second displacement of the actuating rod 952, the clamp 951 is opened again. The actuating rod 952 is preferably arranged coaxially with the central axis of the clamp 951, so that the actuating rod 952 can be actuated by the clamping element 96, which is clamped and released by the clamp 951. The clamping element 96 is arranged on a stop plate 9 of the stop device 90, which is attached to the intermediate wall 1D of the functional entity 1. The displacement path of the actuating rod 952 is indicated by a dashed line. Shortly before reaching the end position S1 , it encounters the clamping element 96 and is pushed back by it, whereby the clamping device 95 is actuated and coupled to the clamping element 96 .

[0152] Furthermore, a damping device 99 is provided with a damper piston 991 which strikes the stop plate 9 as soon as the mounting profile 14 reaches the end position S1 .

[0153] The auxiliary drive 3, the clamping device 95 and the damping device 99 are optional and can be replaced by functionally equivalent devices.

[0154] Fig.11 The assembly structure of the shifting device 10 is shown, which includes a mounting profile substitute 14' that releasably holds the upper guide slide 5 and the lower guide slide 6, an upper guide rail substitute 15' that releasably holds the upper stop device 7 and the first rear cable connection device 44 and is connected to the upper guide slide 5, a lower guide rail substitute 16' that releasably holds the lower stop device 8 and the second rear cable connection device 45 and is connected to the lower guide slide 6, and preassembled retaining cables 421, 422.

[0155] The holding cables 421 , 422 are connected to the cable connecting devices 74 , 84 of the stop devices 8 , 7 at the front and to the cable connecting devices 44 , 45 at the rear.

[0156] Fig.11 It also shows Figure 1 One of the partitions 1D of the embodiment, on which the lower rail 15 and the upper rail 16 are already mounted, and the displacement device 10 in the assembled configuration is transferred to this partition. If the intermediate wall 1D is aligned horizontally, the installation can be carried out very easily.

[0157] Therefore, to install the displacement device 10 in the assembled configuration, it is only necessary to replace the mounting profile replacement 14' with the mounting profile 14 and the upper and lower guide rail replacements 15', 16' with the upper and lower guide rails 15, 16. Subsequently, the steps for tensioning the holding cables 421, 422 and for aligning the mounting profile 14 can be performed.

[0158] Thus, the assembled configuration of the displacement device 10 can advantageously be created by the manufacturer, while the installation of the displacement device 10 at the installation site can be carried out by the user in a simple manner with almost no instructions, for example by means of the installation steps described below.

[0159] Preferably, in a first mounting step, the mounting profile replacement 14 ′ is replaced by the mounting profile 14 .

[0160] In a second mounting step, the guide carriages 5 , 6 , which are now connected to the mounting profile 14 , are inserted into the corresponding upper rail 15 or lower rail 16 connected to the partition 1D.

[0161] In the third installation step, the stoppers 7 and 8 are removed from the upper rail substitute 15' and the lower rail substitute 16' and inserted into the upper rail 15 and the lower rail 16. The mounting beam 711 of the upper stopper 7 is inserted into the mounting channel 153 of the upper rail 15, and the mounting beam 811 of the lower stopper 8 is inserted into the mounting channel 163 of the lower rail 16.

[0162] In a fourth mounting step, the rear cable connection devices 44, 45 are removed from the upper rail replacement 15' and the lower rail replacement 16' and connected to the upper rail 15 and the lower rail 16. To this end, the mounting strap 4495 of the first rear cable connection device 44 is screwed to the mounting connector 154 of the upper rail 15. The second rear cable connection device 45 is inserted into the mounting channel 163 of the lower rail 16 via the mounting beam 45111, which is connected to the corresponding roller holder 4511.

[0163] In a final assembly step, the upper guide rail replacement 15 ′ is removed from the upper guide carriage 5 and the lower guide rail replacement 16 ′ is removed from the lower guide carriage 6 .

[0164] After these mounting steps, which are also interchangeable, the displacement device 10 of the invention is connected individually to the upper rail 15 and to the lower rail 16 .

[0165] Subsequently, the retaining cables 421 , 422 are tensioned as already described.
