Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a functional entity having at least one door compartment for a displaceably held door, the door comprising at least one first door element displaceably held by a displacement device arranged in the door compartment. Background Art

[0002] In order to close an opening in a functional entity (e.g. a piece of furniture, a room unit, a kitchen or a sleeping area), usually a single-piece or multi-piece door is used, possibly a foldable sliding door, which, after the opening has been opened, is moved into the door compartment of the functional entity so as not to obstruct its appearance.

[0003] US8336972B2 discloses furniture with a displacement device comprising a mounting profile which is displaceable in a door compartment and connected to a door comprising a door element. The displacement device further comprises a retaining device in a scissor-like cross embodiment, by means of which the mounting profile is displaceably held in vertical alignment. The displacement device further comprises a guide rail along which the mounting profile is displaceably supported by a carriage. Thus, the door element connected to the mounting profile can be retracted into the door compartment and moved out of the door compartment and rotated against the opening of the furniture.

[0004] WO2020245166A1 discloses a retaining device comprising a structure having a parallelogram.

[0005] US9284761B2 discloses furniture with a displacement device, which comprises a mounting profile, which is displaceable in a door compartment and is connected to a door comprising two hingedly interconnected and mutually foldable door elements. The first door element is connected to the mounting profile at the rear side by a mounting hinge and is connected to the rear side of the second door element at the front side by a door hinge. The second door element is connected to a slide at the front, which is displaceable along a track, which comprises two track parts that are vertically aligned with each other and connected to each other by a curved part, wherein the first track part extends into the door compartment and the second track part extends along the front of the furniture. In this furniture, the door attached to the mounting profile is unfolded after leaving the door compartment and moved to the front of the furniture opening.

[0006] In both pieces of furniture, the rotation of the door element connected to the mounting profile takes place immediately after leaving the door compartment. Therefore, the movability and rotatability of this door element must be ensured. If the first door element is connected to the second door element, the second door element should also be able to move freely after leaving the door compartment so that the foldable sliding door can be unfolded and folded again. In order to achieve the required movability of the door element or door elements, they are therefore not rigidly guided within the door compartment. Therefore, the door element may deflect laterally when moving within the door compartment. Rigid guidance of the door element or door elements will also cause considerable effort in design and construction.

[0007] In order to prevent the door or door element from hitting the front device part during the transverse movement, the device part is preferably provided with spacing rollers, by means of which the door or door element is kept at a certain distance from the device part during the displacement in the door compartment and preferably also during the rotation. The door element or door elements can rest on the associated spacing rollers during the displacement in the door compartment and roll thereon without contacting the front device part. The spacing rollers thus prevent the door element or door elements from hitting the device part of the displacement device; however, precise guidance or stable holding of the door element or door elements cannot be achieved by the spacing rollers. As a result, unwanted movements, disturbances and noises during the displacement process can still occur, which may be caused by hitting the spacing rollers.

[0008] Furthermore, a relatively large door compartment cross section must be provided for these functional entities so that the door element does not strike side walls or partition walls when entering or leaving the door compartment.

[0009] Also known from CN 108071288 A is a piece of furniture in which the door is also guided by spacer rollers. Summary of the invention

[0010] The invention is therefore based on the object of creating an improved functional entity, in particular a piece of furniture, having at least one door compartment and at least one door having one or more door elements, which can be displaced into the door compartment by means of a displacement device.

[0011] In particular, a functional entity will be created in which the door element is precisely guided in the door compartment and preferably also precisely guided at least at the beginning of the pivoting process. Thus, it will be possible to move the door into a door compartment comprising the smallest possible dimensions, thereby optimizing the available space of the functional entity or furniture.

[0012] The expected improvements will be achieved by simple and cost-effective measures. It will be possible to upgrade already running functional entities in a simple manner and provide them with the technical solution of the invention.

[0013] By means of the displacement device, the door element or door elements which can be displaced into the door compartment are guided in an advantageous manner so that no disturbances, in particular no undesired movements and noises, occur during the use of the functional entity. The door element or door elements should be reliably guided and held, thereby increasing the ease of use and comfort of use of the functional entity.

[0014] It is possible to use the displacement device of the invention together with any retaining device, such as a scissor-cross, parallelogram or cable guide, by means of which the mounting profile connected to the door is kept vertically aligned and displaceable within the door compartment.

[0015] The displacement device of the invention will advantageously be adaptable for manual operation of the door and for operation with a drive device which performs automatic displacement of the door within the door compartment.

[0016] Functional entities will be able to be designed as furniture or room units as needed.

[0017] This object is achieved by a functional entity according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the further claims.

[0018] The functional entity has a door compartment and a door with at least a first door element, the first door element having a rear edge and a front edge, the first door element being connected to a displacement device arranged inside the door compartment, the first door element being displaceable into the door compartment and being pivotable outside the door compartment in order to cover an opening of the functional entity.

[0019] The displacement device comprises a mounting profile which is connected to the rear edge of the first door element by a mounting hinge and which is held in vertical alignment by a retaining device and is displaceable along the operating axis between the entrance opening and the rear side of the door compartment.

[0020] Furthermore, a first spacing device having a device body is provided, which is arranged at the entrance opening of the door compartment and comprises first spacing rollers on which the first door element can roll during displacement without contacting the device body of the spacing device.

[0021] According to the invention, the first door element is connected to a first door magnet member on a side facing the spacing device, and the spacing device is connected to a first device magnet member on a side facing the first door magnet member, the first device magnet member interacting magnetically with the first door magnet member so that the first door element is pulled against the spacing device as soon as the first door magnet member and the first device magnet member (at least one of which is a permanent magnet) are opposite to each other.

[0022] Therefore, the door magnet component or multiple door magnet components and the corresponding device magnet component or corresponding multiple device magnet components are ferromagnetic or permanent magnets, so that they are magnetically attracted to each other. The device magnet component or multiple device magnet components are preferably permanent magnets, and the door magnet component or multiple door magnet components are ferromagnetic. However, the device magnet component or multiple device magnet components can also be ferromagnetic, and the door magnet component or multiple door magnet components are permanent magnets. In addition, the device magnet component or multiple device magnet components and the door magnet component or multiple door magnet components can both be permanent magnets.

[0023] The door magnet member or members and the corresponding device magnet member or members are preferably arranged at least approximately at the same height. The door magnet member is preferably a ferromagnetic plate, which is preferably guided past the device magnet member or members at the same height during the displacement of the door element or elements. Therefore, the door magnet member or members and the corresponding device magnet member or members are preferably arranged in a manner that leads to an optimal magnetic coupling.

[0024] The spacing roller or rollers are preferably arranged at the height of the door magnet component or components so that the spacing roller or rollers can roll on the associated door magnet component or the cover or coating located thereon. This has the advantage that an ideal running surface for the spacing rollers can be formed with the help of the door magnet component or components or their cover or coating. Thus, the inner side of the door element can comprise any surface texture. Furthermore, the magnets are protected by the cover or coating from external chemical or mechanical influences.

[0025] In all embodiments, the device magnet members are set back relative to the associated spacing rollers so that only the spacing rollers and not the device magnet members can contact the facing inner side of the door element. Preferably, spacing rollers made of plastic are used.

[0026] The spacing rollers are preferably held by roller holders which are adjustable as required. Preferably, the adjustable roller holders are connected to the buffer element, such that the adjustment of the buffer element is carried out simultaneously with the necessary adjustment of the associated spacing rollers, for example the buffer element forms an end stop of a mounting profile or guide carriage connected thereto.

[0027] The device magnet member is preferably in the shape of a plate, a pill, a sheet, or a cylinder, and is connected to the device body of the associated spacer device, and is preferably recessed in a groove of the device body. The first device magnet member or the first device magnet member and the second device magnet member may also include a plurality of magnetic elements, which are preferably in the shape of a plate, a pill, a sheet, or a cylinder.

[0028] The door magnet member may also be pill-shaped, sheet-shaped, cylindrical or include pill-shaped, sheet-shaped or cylindrical magnet elements. Preferably, however, the door magnet member is in the form of a plate, the longitudinal axis of which extends parallel to the displacement direction of the mounting profile. Preferably, the door magnet member is a ferromagnetic plate, such as a steel plate. The door magnet member may also be a plastic element or a plastic strip, in which a ferromagnetic or permanent magnetic material, such as steel shavings, is encapsulated.

[0029] Thus, by the interaction between the first door magnet member and the first device magnet member, the first door element is pulled against the spacing device and thus against the first spacing roller, at least in the area in which it is displaceable within the door compartment. Thus, the first door element spacing roller pushes away from the body of the spacing device while being pulled against the spacing roller by the force of the device magnet member. Thus, when stationary, the first door element always remains in a certain position, against the spacing roller. Thus, automatic movement of the first door element and corresponding disturbances, such as impact noises, are excluded.

[0030] In particular, after the first door element has been fully retracted into the door compartment, the front side edge of the door element remote from the mounting profile and not directly connected to the mounting profile is in contact with the spacing roller and cannot make any undesired pivoting movements. When moving the first door element within the door compartment, the first door element follows the path determined by the spacing roller and is thus moved precisely into and out of the door compartment. Thus, contact of the door element or door elements with the side walls or partition walls is avoided.

[0031] Due to the precise guidance of the door element or door elements of the door, the functional entity or the piece of furniture can be provided with a door compartment or a first door compartment and a second door compartment which comprise minimum dimensions.

[0032] The inventive guidance of the door element by magnetic coupling is also particularly advantageous, since the coupling and in particular the decoupling of the door element from the spacer always takes place optimally and safely without any mechanical guidance being required.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the functional entity, the first door element is connected at the front side edge by a door hinge to the facing rear side edge of the second door element, the second door element being insertable into the door compartment in parallel alignment with the first door element, so that at least one spacing device comprising a second spacing roller facing the second door element is enclosed between the first door element and the second door element. Thus, the second door element is connected on the side facing the spacing device to the second door magnet member, and the spacing device is connected on the side facing the second door magnet member to the second device magnet member, the second device magnet member interacting magnetically with the second door magnet member and pulling the second door magnet member against the spacing device.

[0034] When a foldable sliding door is used, the first door element and the second door element are preferably provided with door magnet members, which interact magnetically with the device magnet members of the spacing device. This ensures that the two door elements are precisely held and precisely guided. The movability of the two door elements, which are connected to each other at the ends facing each other by the door hinge, is thus eliminated. Unwanted movements of the door elements and uncontrolled transfer paths are avoided.

[0035] In another preferred embodiment, it is configured that the upper spacing device is arranged on the upper side of the door compartment, and the first door element is connected to the upper first door magnet member on the side facing the upper spacing device, and the upper spacing device is connected to at least one upper first device magnet member on the side facing the upper first door magnet member, and the at least one upper first device magnet member magnetically interacts with the upper first door magnet member; and the lower spacing device is arranged on the lower side of the door compartment, and the first door element is connected to the lower first door magnet member on the side facing the lower spacing device, and the lower spacing device is connected to at least one lower first device magnet member magnetically interacting with the lower first door magnet member on the side facing the lower first door magnet member.

[0036] The first door element is thus held and guided precisely at the top and bottom.If the first door element is connected to the second door element, the second door element is preferably also held precisely at the top and bottom by the measures of the invention.

[0037] Preferably, it is arranged that the second door element is connected to the upper second door magnet component on the side facing the upper spacer, and the upper spacer is connected to at least one upper second device magnet component on the side facing the upper second door magnet component, and the at least one upper second device magnet component magnetically interacts with the upper second door magnet component; and the second door element is connected to the lower second door magnet component on the side facing the lower spacer, and the lower spacer is connected to at least one lower second device magnet component magnetically interacting with the lower second door magnet component on the side facing the lower first door magnet component.

[0038] As already described, at least one of the door magnet member and the corresponding device magnet member is a permanent magnet.

[0039] In a particularly preferred embodiment, it is configured that the mounting profile is connected to an upper guide slide at an upper end piece, the upper guide slide is displaceably supported on an upper guide rail, and the upper spacer is held on the front side by the upper guide rail, and / or the mounting profile is connected to a lower guide slide at a lower end piece, the lower guide slide is displaceably supported on a lower guide rail, and the lower spacer is held on the front side by the lower guide rail.

[0040] With the help of the guide carriage and the guide rail, the mounting profile remains stable. The load of the door connected to the mounting profile is absorbed. With the help of the holding device, such as a scissor-cross, parallelogram or cable-pulling device, only the torques that occur need to be absorbed. At the same time, the spacer device can be easily mounted on the end side of the guide rail facing the door compartment outlet. The spacer rollers thus ensure that the door element held in place cannot collide with the device body of the spacer device nor with the guide rail.

[0041] The first door magnet member or the first door magnet member and the second door magnet member preferably extend in a plate-like manner parallel to the running axis of the mounting profile, so that the magnetic coupling between the door magnet member and the device magnet member corresponding thereto remains unchanged during the displacement of the door element or multiple door elements, preferably over the entire displacement range or a significant range within the door compartment.

[0042] The first door magnet member or the first door magnet member and the second door magnet member are preferably arranged and fixed in door recesses of the first door element or the first door element and the second door element, preferably screwed, clamped, glued or cast.

[0043] Furthermore, the door magnet members are preferably covered with a cover so that they are not visually noticeable.The door magnet members and the cover are preferably completely recessed into the door element so that the door element comprises a flat surface over the entire area.

[0044] Preferably, the door magnet members or their covers form a running surface for the spacer rollers. This ensures that the spacer rollers can roll on an ideal running surface without wear or noise.

[0045] The first door magnet member connected to the first door element preferably extends directly or at a small distance from a front edge of the first door element facing away from the mounting profile, completely or partially across the width of the first door element.

[0046] The second door magnet member connected to the second door element preferably extends directly from a rear edge of the second door element connected to the first door element or at a short distance over the entire or partial width of the second door element.

[0047] The device body of the spacing device is preferably made of metal or plastic and may be connected to the associated first device magnet component or the first device magnet component and the second device magnet component by magnetic form fit or force fit. Preferably, the device body includes a form fit element, by which the device magnet component is held in a form fit. If the device body is made of ferromagnetic material and includes a receiving opening for the device magnet component, the device magnet component is automatically held in the receiving opening. The device magnet component can also be screwed to the device body. For example, the device magnet component includes a hole, through which a connecting screw passes and is screwed into a threaded hole of the device body.

[0048] The device magnet member is preferably plate-shaped, such as rectangular or circular, or cylindrical, or pill-shaped, and is aligned parallel to the door magnet member to achieve optimal magnetic interaction.

[0049] The door magnet component or device magnet component designed as a permanent magnet is preferably a rare earth magnet which consists essentially of, for example, ferrous metals (iron and / or cobalt and / or nickel) and rare earth metals (especially neodymium, samarium, praseodymium, dysprosium, terbium or gadolinium).

[0050] The spacing device preferably comprises different functions and elements. Preferably, the spacing device comprises an adjustable or non-adjustable coupling element for coupling the holding device and / or a stop element or damping element capable of interacting with the guide carriage. Preferably, the adjustable damping device is mechanically coupled to the spacing roller.

[0051] The spacer means used may be identical or partly identical so that they can be manufactured cost-effectively.

[0052] The functional entity can be a piece of furniture, such as a wardrobe, or also a room unit, such as a kitchen, a room or a bedroom, which is closed by at least one single-piece or multi-piece door, which can be parked in a door compartment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0064] Figure 1 The functional entity or piece of furniture 1 of the invention is shown in a wardrobe embodiment, in which a door compartment 18 is integrated on each side. The piece of furniture 1 comprises side walls 1A, an upper plate 1B, a lower plate 1C and partitions 1D, each of which delimits a door compartment 18 together with the associated side wall 1A. In each door compartment 18, a displacement device 10 of the invention is arranged with a mounting profile 14, which is displaced manually or by means of a drive device (see Figure 3 , the drive device 2) is automatically displaceable in the door compartment 18. The door 11 is held by the mounting profile 14 of the sliding device 10, and when the mounting profile 14 is moved, the door is retracted into or moved out of the associated door compartment 18. When the door 11 leaves the corresponding door compartment 18, the mounting profile 14 is displaced along the operating axis x from the rear side 181 of the door compartment 18 to the entrance opening 180 of the door compartment 18.

[0065] In the first door compartment 18, a foldable sliding door 11 is held, which comprises a first door element 111 and a second door element 112, which are hinged to each other and can be folded toward each other. The door 11 held in the second door compartment 18 by the mounting profile 14 inside the second door compartment 10 comprises only one door element 111. The first door element 111 comprises an inner side 1111 and an outer side 1112. The second door element 112 comprises an inner side 1121 and an outer side 1122 (see Figure 4b ).

[0066] exist Figure 1 , the foldable sliding door 11 is fully extended from the first door compartment 10 and fully unfolded, so that the door elements 111, 112 are aligned in one plane and only their outer sides 1112, 1122 are visible. 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 shown in the closed position covers two thirds of the wardrobe opening 100.

[0067] The rear edge 1115 of the first door element 111 of the foldable sliding door 11 is connected to the mounting profile 14 symbolically indicated by a dashed line via a mounting hinge 131 , which is trailing when the sliding door 11 is moved out.

[0068] The leading front side edge 1116 of the first door element 111 is connected via a door hinge 132 to the trailing rear side edge 1125 of the second door element 112, the leading front side edge of the second door element being connected at the top to the front carriage 5F. The front carriage 5F is guided in a support rail 17 which comprises a curved section and support rail sections 171 on both sides which extend into the door compartment 18. When entering the door compartment 18 and when travelling along the support rail 17, the front carriage 5F moves forwards in the associated path, whereby a change of direction occurs in the curved section.

[0069] The functional entity 1 of the invention comprises at least one spacing device 7 , 8 . Figure 1 Schematically shown, in this preferred embodiment of the functional entity 1, each displacement device 10 comprises upper spacing means 7 and lower spacing means 8, which allow accurate guiding and holding of the door 11 and the door elements 111, 112, respectively.

[0070] Figure 2 Shown is the layout Figure 1The functional entity 1 has a foldable sliding door 11, whose door elements 111, 112 are cut away to show the spacers 7 and 8. The door elements 111, 112 connected to each other by means of a schematically shown door hinge 132 are aligned parallel to each other and can be pushed into the door compartment 18 in this alignment.

[0071] The mounting profile 14 is connected to the first door element 111 via a mounting hinge 131 and is held in a vertical position by a holding device 4 (symbolically indicated by a dashed line). The holding device 4 can be any embodiment, such as a scissor-shaped cross, a parallelogram or preferably a Figure 3 The device shown has a retaining rope.

[0072] 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 support rollers 591 and guide rollers 592 and, in addition to the guiding function, also comprises a supporting function. The lower guide carriage 6 comprises guide rollers 692 guided in the lower guide rail 16 (see FIG. Figure 3 ).

[0073] The upper guide carriage 5 and the lower guide carriage 6 are located directly in front of the entrance opening 180 of the door compartment 18. The carriage body 51 of the upper guide carriage 5 rests against a buffer or damping device 3 mounted in the upper guide rail 15.

[0074] The upper guide rail 15 holds the upper spacer 7 at the front side, and the lower guide rail 16 holds the lower spacer 8 at the front side, each of the upper spacer and the lower spacer includes a device body 71, 81. Figure 2 The spacer means 7 , 8 are shown enclosed between two parallel door elements 111 , 112 .

[0075] On the side facing the first door element 111, the upper spacer 7 and the lower spacer 8 each include at least one first spacer roller 791, 891 and at least one first device magnet member 771, 871. On the side facing the second door element 112, the upper spacer 7 and the lower spacer 8 each include at least one second spacer roller 792, 892 and at least one second device magnet member 772, 872.

[0076] The first spacing rollers 791, 891 hold the first door element 111 at a certain distance and can roll along its inner side 1111. The second spacing rollers 792, 892 hold the second door element 112 at a certain distance and can roll on its inner side 1121. Therefore, the two door elements 111, 112 do not hit the device bodies 71, 81 or the guide rails 15, 16 of the spacing devices 7, 8.

[0077] The first device magnet member 771, 871 interacts with the first door magnet member 751, 851 connected to the first door element 111 (see Figure 5 ). The second device magnet member 772, 872 interacts with the second door magnet member 752, 852 connected to the second door element 112. The first device magnet member 771, 871 and the second device magnet member 772, 872 as well as the first door magnet member 751, 851 and the second door magnet member 752, 852 interact magnetically and exert a force on each other, pulling the two door elements 111, 112 against the spacing device 7, 8. Therefore, the first spacing roller 791, 891 and / or the second spacing roller 792, 892 are always in contact with the inner side 1111, 1121 of the first door element 111 and / or the second door element 112 and preferably run on the inner side 1111, 1121, on the door magnet members 751, 851; 752, 852 or on a cover 76, 86 arranged on the door magnet members 751, 851; 752, 852; they are preferably designed as a running surface. As described above, at least one of the corresponding device magnet members 771, 871; 772, 872 and door magnet members 751, 851; 752, 852 is formed as a permanent magnet so that the permanent magnet portion cooperates with the ferromagnetic portion. In a preferred embodiment, the device magnet members 771, 871; 772, 872 and door magnet members 751, 851; 752, 852 can be permanent magnets.

[0078] Thus, when moving into or out of the door compartment 18, the two door elements 111, 112 are guided and held without gap or substantially without gap by the two spacers 7, 8. In particular, even after the two door elements 111, 112 have entered the door compartment 18, their end faces 1116, 1125 connected to each other by the door hinge 132 are stably held by the spacers 7, 8. Thus, the door elements 111, 112 remain stable during travel and at rest, and neither collide inwardly against the guide rails 15, 16 nor outwardly against the side walls 1A or the partition walls 1D (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 1 ).

[0079] The displacement device 10 can be used to hold a single-piece or multi-piece door 11. Figure 2 , describes the use of the displacement device 10 in combination with a door having two door elements 111, 112. On the other hand, the inventive spacing device 7, 8 can also be used to guide only one door element 111 of a one-piece door 11 or the first door element 111 of a multi-piece door 11. Figure 5 Only a part of the displacement device 10 is shown for guiding a door element 111 .

[0080] Figure 3 Shown from the other side Figure 2 A displacement device 10 is provided, which has a preferred holding device 4 and an optionally provided drive device 2.

[0081] The retaining device 4 includes a first front cable connecting device 84, a first lower reel assembly 431 arranged at the lower end of the mounting profile 14, a first upper reel assembly 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, which is connected to the first front cable connecting device 84 at a first end, is routed counterclockwise around the first lower reel assembly 431 and clockwise around the first upper reel assembly 411, and is connected to the first rear cable connecting device 44 at a second end.

[0082] In addition, the retaining device 4 includes a second front cable connecting device 74, a second upper reel assembly 412 arranged at the upper end of the mounting profile 14, a second lower reel assembly 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, which is connected to the second front cable connecting device 74 at a first end, is routed clockwise around the second upper reel assembly 412 and counterclockwise around the second lower reel assembly 432, and is connected to the second rear cable connecting device 45 at a second end.

[0083] A preferably adjustable first front cable connection 84 is integrated into the lower spacer 8, by means of which the first tensioning cable 421 can be tensioned in order to vertically align the mounting profile 14. A second front cable connection 74 is integrated into the upper spacer 7. The two rear cable connections 44, 45 preferably each comprise an entry pulley, by means of which the respective holding cable 421, 422 can be inserted into the housing. Preferably, a tensioning spring is arranged in the second rear cable connection 45, by means of which a constant tensioning force can be transmitted to the second holding cable 422.

[0084] Therefore, in the holding device 4 of the present invention, preferably, one of the holding cables 421, 422 (in this embodiment, the second holding cable 422) is always elastically held. On the other hand, the first holding cable 421 is non-elastically or firmly held by the first front cable connection device 84 and the first rear cable connection device 44 after installation. The first front cable connection device 84 is adjustable to tighten the first holding cable 421 and align the mounting profile 14 vertically.

[0085] Furthermore, the displacement device 10 optionally comprises a drive device 2, by means of which the door 11 can be automatically driven out of the door compartment 18. The drive device 2 shown as an example and preferably used comprises a drive unit 21 having a drive element and a pulley connected thereto, on which a pull rope 22 is wound. For example, the drive element is a helical spring or a coil spring, which is tightened or released when the pulley rotates. Thus, the pull rope 22 can be pulled away from the pulley with force and automatically wound back on the pulley when the pulley rotates back.

[0086] The pull rope 22 is guided to the pull rope connection 72 via a first deflection roller 23 and a second deflection roller 24 rotatably mounted on a deflection unit 230, which is arranged on the upper spacer 7. The deflection unit 230 can be moved along the mounting profile 14 and can be optionally fixed. By moving the deflection unit 230, a desired tension can be applied to the pull rope 22.

[0087] exist Figure 3 In the embodiment, the mounting profile 14 has almost moved to the rear side 181 of the door compartment 18, so the pull rope 22 has been further extended and the drive element has been tensioned. Once the pull rope 22 is released again, the pulley is turned back by the tensioned drive element.

[0088] By connecting the drive device 2 to the mounting profile 14 or the guide carriage 5, it is no longer necessary to install the drive device 2 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 with the holding device 4 and the drive device 2 can be installed in door compartments 18 of different sizes without modification. Only the length of the holding cables 421, 422 and the pull rope 22 needs to be adjusted accordingly.

[0089] It is also shown that the spacer devices 7 , 8 are provided with rotatable locking levers 73 , 83 , by means of which the mounting profile 14 displaced towards the entrance opening 180 of the door compartment 18 can be locked in order to carry out maintenance work or adjustments.

[0090] Figure 4a Shows Figure 2 The upper spacing device 7 of the embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 , with the device magnet members 771, 772 removed from the device body 71 and a cross-sectional view through the two door elements 111, 112 showing the door magnet members 751, 752 sunk into the door elements 111, 112 and the cover 76 shown in cross-sectional view located on the door magnet members 751, 752. The device body 71 of the spacing device 7 comprises a mounting beam 711 on the upper side, which is inserted into the mounting channel of the upper rail 15 and locked by a locking screw 712. The upper rail 15 is symbolically shown with a dotted line.

[0091] If the upper rail 15 and the lower rail 16 comprise identical or at least functionally identical holding channels, the upper spacer 7 can be turned through 180° and used as lower spacer 8, for example when a scissor-type cross is used as holding device 4. If only one door element 111 is moved into the door compartment 118, the spacer 7 can also be connected to the device magnet member 771 only on one side.

[0092] In a preferred embodiment, the device body 71 includes threaded holes on both sides, and the connecting screws 78 can be screwed into the threaded holes to install the first device magnet member 771 on one side of the device body 71 and the second device magnet member 772 on the other side of the device body 71. Preferably, an elastic element 781 is provided between the connecting screw 78 and the device magnet members 771, 772, which elastically transmits the compression force of the connecting screw 78 to the device magnet members 771, 772. However, the device magnet members 771, 772 can also be connected to the device body 71 in a force-fit or form-fit manner in other ways. For example, the device magnet members 771, 772 can be inserted into a groove in the device body 71, such as glued and / or encapsulated or only magnetically retained. If the device body 71 is made of ferromagnetic material, the device magnet members 771, 772 are automatically retained in the groove of the device body 71.

[0093] The first plate-shaped door magnet member 751 is arranged inside the door groove 1110 on the inner side 1111 of the first door element 111 and is fastened by mounting screws 7511. The cover or cap 76 is inserted into the door groove 1110 with its outer side in one plane with the inner side 1111 of the first door element 111. The second plate-shaped door magnet member 752 is located inside the door groove 1120 on the inner side 1121 of the second door element 112 and is fastened by mounting screws 7521. The cover or cap 76 is inserted into the door groove 1120 with its outer side in one plane with the inner side 1121 of the second door element 112.

[0094] For example, the cover 76 may be made of metal, plastic or wood. Alternatively, the cover 76, such as a foil or plate, may cover the entire inner side 1111, 1121 of the door elements 111, 112. In a preferred embodiment, the cover 76 thus forms a coating on the door elements 111, 112.

[0095] Figure 4b The following diagram shows the installation of the magnet components 771, 772. Figure 4a7 of the upper spacing device. Instead of the upper guide rail 15, an upper guide carriage 5 with a support roller 591 and a guide roller 592 is shown in this illustration. It can be seen that the door elements 111, 112 shown in cross section are held at a distance from the device body 71 by the spacing rollers 791, 792 and at the same time are pulled against the spacing rollers 791, 792 by the device magnet members 771, 772. Therefore, the door 11 is accurately held both when it is moving and when it is stationary.

[0096] Figure 5 In the preferred embodiment, Figure 2 The upper spacer 7 and the lower spacer 8 of the present invention are used to guide the door 11 having only one door element 111, and the center piece is cut from the door element. Therefore, the spacers 7, 8 are provided with the spacer rollers 791, 891 and the device magnet members 771, 871 only on one side. The upper guide rail 15 and the lower guide rail 16 of the upper spacer 7 and the lower spacer 8 holding the front side are shown shortened. The door groove 1110 is provided on the inner side 1111 of the door element 111, which extends almost over the entire width of the door element 111. A part of the plate-like upper door magnet member 751 has been cut away to show the door groove 1110. The plate-like door magnet members 751, 752 include holes 7510, 8510, and the mounting screws 7511 are inserted into the holes. The covers 76, 86 extend through the entire length of the door groove 1110.

[0097] Figure 6a The upper rail 15 holds the Figure 5 The upper guide rail 15 comprises a mounting channel 150 on the lower side, into which a mounting beam 711 connected to the device body 71 of the upper spacer 7 is inserted. The inserted mounting beam 711 is locked or tensioned by means of a locking screw 712. Above the mounting channel 150, the upper guide rail 15 comprises a cross section within which the upper guide carriage 5 can move upwards to the buffer or damping device 3.

[0098] In this embodiment, the device magnet member 771 offset from the spacing roller 791 is plate-shaped and is preferably held in the groove 710 of the device body 71 and fixed with a connecting screw 78. On the other hand, the device magnet members 771, 772; 871, 872 can include any shape and, for example, be cylindrical, pill-shaped, sheet-shaped, plate-shaped, and have a circular, rectangular, square or polygonal cross-section. The contactless fit of the door magnet members 751, 752; 851, 852 and the device magnet members 771, 772; 871, 872 allows the latter to be connected to the device body 71, 81 at a position that does not impair the further function of the spacing device 7, 8.

[0099] The spacing roller 791 is rotatably mounted in the roller holder 715 via the bearing shaft 790. The roller holder 715 is preferably held in the bearing cavity 716 of the device body 71 in a form-fitting manner and fixed by a mounting screw or an adjusting screw 713. Preferably, the roller holder 715 is slidably mounted and can be positioned as required by the adjusting screw 713.

[0100] It should be noted that in this preferred embodiment, the spacing rollers 791 protrude beyond the device body 71 not only on the side of the associated device magnet member 78, but also on the front side. Thus, the door element 111 is guided not only during the axial displacement within the door compartment 18, but also during the pivoting movement at the exit of the door compartment 18 and is kept at a certain distance from the device body 71.

[0101] Figure 6b The lower rail 16 holds the Figure 5 The lower guide rail 16 also includes a mounting channel 160 in which a mounting beam 811 connected to the device body 81 of the lower spacer 8 is retained. The lower roller holder 815 is also slidably mounted and includes a buffer body 8153 that holds the buffer element 8154 and guides through an opening in the device body 81.

[0102] Thus, the lower spacer 8 and the upper spacer 7 are substantially interchangeable. In addition, the spacers 7, 8 can advantageously include further functional elements, such as preferably adjustable buffers, damping devices, stops, locking levers 83, rope connections 84.

[0103] Figure 7 The upper spacer 7 is shown. Figure 2 The upper spacing device 10 is a part of the displacement device 10, which in the preferred embodiment includes two spacing rollers 791, 792. The first spacing roller 791 is held by a roller holder 715, which is slidably mounted in a bearing cavity 716 of the device body 71 and is selectively slidable by an adjustment screw 713. The guide carriage 5 guided in the upper guide rail 15 advances to the damping device 3 along with the carriage body 51.

[0104] Figure 8 Shows Figure 7Exploded view of the upper spacing device 7 of . The roller holder 715 comprises guide ribs 7151 on the lower side and the upper side, which are guided in corresponding guide rails 718 of the bearing cavity 716. The roller holder 715 is also preferably connected integrally to the buffer piston 7153, and the buffer element 7154 is retained on the front side of the buffer piston. Therefore, the spacing roller 791 and the buffer element 7154 are preferably firmly coupled to each other so that when the end stop of the upper guide carriage 5 is adjusted, the first spacing roller 791 is optimally positioned at the same time and does not have to be positioned separately. In addition, the roller holder 715 comprises a retaining flange 7152, by which the head of the adjustment screw 713 is rotatably but axially non-displaceably retained in the screw cavity. In addition, the roller holder 715 comprises a tool opening 7150, through which a screwdriver can be inserted into the screw cavity to turn the adjustment screw 713.

[0105] The device body 71 comprises a bearing cavity 716 into which the roller holder 715 can be inserted. A transfer opening 717 is provided on the rear wall of the bearing chamber 716, through which a buffer piston 7153 with a buffer element 7154 is guided. A threaded hole 719 is also provided on the rear wall of the bearing cavity 716, into which the adjustment screw 713 is screwed. By turning the adjustment screw 713, the roller holder 715 with the first spacing roller 791 and the buffer element 7154 can thus be moved relative to the device body 71.
