Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mobile device comprising a mounting profile connected to a single-part or multi-part door, possibly a folding sliding door, vertically aligned and preferably automatically movable within the door compartment, a functional entity, in particular a piece of furniture or a room unit, comprising at least one mobile device, and a method for installing the mobile device within the functional entity. [Background technology]

[0002] To close openings in functional bodies such as pieces of furniture, room units, kitchens or bedrooms, single- or multi-piece doors, sometimes folding sliding doors, are often used, which are moved into the door compartment of the functional body after the opening has been opened so as not to interfere with the exterior.

[0003] No. 8,336,972 discloses a piece of furniture comprising a movement device by which a mounting profile connected to a single-piece door is movable within a door compartment. The movement device has a holding device in the form of a scissor cross by which the mounting profile is movably held in vertical alignment. The movement device further has a running rail along which the mounting profile is movably mounted by means of a running gear.

[0004] US9284761 discloses a piece of furniture with a movement device by which a mounting profile connected to a folding sliding door is movable within a door compartment, the folding sliding door having two door elements, of which a first door element is connected at its rear side by a mounting hinge to the mounting profile and at its front side by a door hinge to the rear side of the second door element, the second door element being connected at its front side to a front carriage, the front carriage being movable along a running rail, the running rail having two rail sections aligned perpendicular to each other and connected to each other by a curved section, of which the first rail section extends into the door compartment and the second rail section extends along the front side of the piece of furniture.

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

[0006] DE 2045763 A1 discloses a piece of furniture with a movement device with a scissor cross, whose scissor arms are connected to one another by springs for automatically storing into the door compartment a mounting profile held by the scissor cross and connected to the door or for ejecting the mounting profile from the door compartment. The scissor cross occupies a relatively large space and is usually adapted to the dimensions of a particular door compartment.

[0007] US Pat. No. 1,022,7806 discloses another movement device with a control curve, by means of which a mounting profile connected to a door can be automatically moved within the door compartment.

[0008] The last described displacement devices have drive devices for the automatic displacement of the mounting profile, which either cooperate with and have to be integrated into specially designed holding devices or as separate drive devices, which grip the mounting profile near the end stops and pull it to the end position. Separate drive devices usually require a lot of space and can only displace the mounting profile over short distances. These drive devices are also relatively expensive and are only available in certain sizes.

[0009] The drive device and other elements of the movement device must therefore be adapted to one another and are therefore subject to significant constraints. It should be noted that there is usually little space available in a door compartment designed to accommodate possibly two or more door elements. The constraints on the integration of the drive device into the movement device are therefore particularly important.

[0010] EP 1 394 349 A1 discloses a movement device with a slidably mounted mounting profile held perpendicular to the direction of movement by a holding device with two metal cables. The mounting profile is provided with two lower wheels at its lower end and two upper wheels at its upper end, which are arranged 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 at the front and rear of the movement 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 at the front and rear of the movement device.

[0011] US Pat. No. 4,976,502 discloses a further holding device comprising two metal cables, by means of which the mounting profile is movably held in vertical alignment.

[0012] The drawback of these devices is that the function of the holding device is highly dependent on the adjustment of the cable tension. If the cable tension is not set correctly, the mounting profile may not be held correctly or interference may occur. It should also be noted that the installation of the mobile device at the installation site is performed by different installers. This will result in different settings, which will affect the function of the mobile device and require maintenance.

[0013] Additionally, the application of force can cause excessive loads on a non-optimally installed sliding device, which can cause damage and require readjustment.

[0014] Even with optimal adjustment of the moving device, there is a problem that interference may occur when forces are applied to the moving device. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0015] [Patent Document 1] U.S. Patent No. 8,336,972 [Patent Document 2] U.S. Patent No. 9,284,761 [Patent Document 3] German Patent Publication No. 2045763 [Patent Document 4] U.S. Patent No. 10,227,806 [Patent Document 5] European Patent Application Publication No. 1394349 [Patent Document 6] U.S. Patent No. 4,976,502 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0016] The invention is therefore based on the object of providing an improved movement device, by means of which a mounting profile connected or connectable to a single-part or multi-part door is movable in a vertically aligned manner in a door compartment of a functional body, piece of furniture or room unit. Furthermore, a method for installing the movement device is defined. Furthermore, a functional body, piece of furniture or room unit is provided, which comprises at least one improved movement device, by means of which a mounting profile connected to a door, possibly a folding sliding door, is advantageously movable in the door compartment of the functional body.

[0017] The movement device is compact, easy to assemble and occupies only a small space, so that a lot of space can be kept free in the door section of the functional body and the door section can be realized with reduced dimensions.

[0018] The movement device is easily and precisely adjustable so that it is always optimally set, regardless of the respective installer.

[0019] The moving device functions reliably even when subjected to undesirable forces and is not exposed to loads that could cause damage. The moving device is robust and resilient. Maintenance operations and readjustments are avoided as far as possible, even when operated under high stresses and loads.

[0020] Preferably, the mounting profile of the movement device is automatically movable within the door compartment so that the mounted door can be automatically retracted into the door compartment or automatically driven out of the door compartment. [Means for solving the problem]

[0021] This problem is solved by a movement device according to claim 1, a method for installing this movement device according to claim 13 and an improved functional body according to claim 16, which comprises at least one door compartment in which a movement device according to claim 1 is arranged. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the further claims.

[0022] A moving device provided for installation in a door section of the functional body has a mounting profile which is held in vertical alignment by a holding device movable between a first end position and a second end position of the drive path and which is connected or connectable to a single-piece or multi-piece door by a mounting hinge.

[0023] The holding device is - a first front cable connection device, a first lower roller unit supported on a lower end of the mounting profile, a first upper roller unit supported on an upper end of the mounting profile, a first rear cable connection device, and a first holding cable connected to the first front cable connection device by a first end piece, passed around the first lower roller unit and the first upper roller unit and connected to the first rear cable connection device by a second end piece; - a second front cable connection device, a second upper roller unit supported on an upper end of the mounting profile, a second lower roller unit supported on a lower end of the mounting profile, a second rear cable connection device, and a second retaining cable connected to the second front cable connection device by a first end piece, passed around the second upper roller unit and the second lower roller unit and connected to the second rear cable connection device by a second end piece.

[0024] According to the present invention, - the second rear cable connection device has a second tensioning device with a second tension spring which is connected on the one hand to the second holding cable directly or via a second connecting sledge and on the other hand to a second tensioning sledge, into which a second tensioning screw is screwed which is rotatably held in a fixed position and by which the second tensioning screw can move the second tensioning sledge along its longitudinal axis in the second bearing profile in order to tension the second tension spring, - The first rear cable connection device or the first front cable connection device has a first setting device with a first setting sledge 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 sledge.

[0025] The two retaining cables of the retaining device, e.g. made from steel, possibly coated with precious metal and / or plastic, always keep the mounting profile aligned perpendicular to the guide rail during its movement in the door compartment. The sliding device can also be realized by kinematic inversion or mirroring of the device parts.

[0026] According to the invention, one of the retaining cables of the retaining device is always elastically held, whereas the other, not elastically held, is used to adjust the mounting profile. The elastic holding of the second retaining cable ensures that no jamming occurs. No excessive stresses arise in the transfer device, since shocks can be elastically absorbed. The transfer device of the invention can therefore be operated for a longer period without requiring maintenance. When installed on the front side, the adjustment of the setting device can be performed in a simple form directly at the entrance of the door compartment.

[0027] By manipulating the setting device, the portion of the first retaining cable that is active in the retaining device is lengthened or shortened, thereby adjusting the inclination of the mounting profile. This adjustment is facilitated by the elastic coupling of the second retaining cable. The first retaining cable prevents the mounting profile from tilting forward toward the door section exit under the effect of the weight of the installed door.

[0028] The retention device functions optimally when the tension at least in the elastically held retention cable is set to a predefined value. Preferably, a predefined tension is also set or applied in the first retention cable. The tensions set in the retention cables are preferably the same.

[0029] The tension force should be neither too small nor too large so that instabilities on the one hand and jamming or overloading on the other hand are avoided. By operating the second tensioning device, the tensioning sledge can be moved relative to the connecting sledge, which stretches the tension spring and exerts a tension force on the second tension cord. By checking the behavior of the movement device, the optimal value of the tension or the mutual movement of the connecting sledge and the tensioning sledge or the stretching of the tension spring can be determined. Thus, for the installation of the movement device, the optimal mutual movement of the tensioning sledge and the connecting sledge can always be defined and set.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the first rear cable connection device has a first tensioning device with a first connecting sledge which is connected on the one hand to the first holding cable and on the other hand by a first tension spring to a first tensioning sledge, in which a first tensioning screw is held in an axially movable manner. By means of the first tensioning screw, the first tensioning sledge and the first connecting sledge are movable relative to each other in the first bearing profile along their longitudinal axis. Preferably, the first and second tensioning devices have the same part.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the first and second retaining cables can be tensioned with a predefined tension. The first connecting sledge is then fixed to the bearing housing, after which vertical alignment of the mounting profile is achieved by operating the setting device as described above. Thus, the retaining device always works with an optimal setting and an optimal tension on the retaining cables.

[0032] To set the desired tension in the holding cable in the tensioning device, a measuring rod is preferably connected to the tensioning sledge, the measuring rod overlapping the connecting sledge and indicating the mutual movement of the tensioning sledge and the connecting sledge. Alternatively, a measuring rod is connected to the connecting sledge, the measuring rod overlapping the tensioning sledge and indicating the mutual movement of the tensioning sledge and the connecting sledge.

[0033] The measuring rod preferably has a control element, such as a control window or pointer, by means of which a position is indicated on the connecting sledge or the pulling sledge, which position corresponds to the relative movement of the connecting sledge and the pulling sledge and can be read on the control element.

[0034] The connecting sledge or the tensioning sledge overlapped by the measuring rod has a corresponding grid or coloring that facilitates reading. Preferably, a marking such as a coloring or a scale is provided. The tensioning screw is rotated until the control element reaches the mark that should be set according to the previously determined recommendation. For example, a table is provided in which the tensioning force that should be set for different dimensions and weights of the held door is indicated. The bearing profile preferably has at least one elongated profile opening so that the mutual movement of the connecting sledge and the tensioning carriage in the bearing profile can be seen.

[0035] The bearing profile, at whose inlet the inlet rollers are preferably provided, is preferably aligned perpendicularly to the guide rail, so that a relatively long bearing channel can be provided in the bearing profile, by means of which the connecting sledge and the associated tensioning sledge can be adjusted over long distances as required.

[0036] The installation of the displacement device described below can be performed particularly easily if the first front cable connection device or the first rear cable connection device has a clamping device by means of which the associated first or second end piece of the first retention cable can be clamped and held, and / or if the second front cable connection device or the second rear cable connection device has a clamping device by means of which the associated first or second end piece of the second retention cable can be clamped and held. By these measures, it is not necessary that the retention cable is precisely dimensioned and is provided with, for example, a connection hole. Instead, the retention cable can be inserted manually and tensioned and tightened manually. Regardless of the dimensions of the displacement device, the retention cable can be advantageously installed. The retention cable can then be pretensioned to a predefined tension force, preferably by means of a tension spring. Preferably, the clamping device is provided in the form of a connection sledge at the rear cable connection device.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting profile is connected at its upper end piece to an upper guide carriage having an upper carriage body and slidably mounted on the upper guide rail, and / or the mounting profile is connected at its lower end piece to a lower guide carriage having a lower carriage body and slidably mounted on the lower guide rail. By using the upper and / or lower guide carriages, forces acting perpendicularly to the mounting profile are absorbed. Thus, only torque acting on the mounting profile needs to be absorbed by the holding device.

[0038] Preferably, the first front cable connection device is arranged at and held by the front end of the lower guide rail, and / or the first rear cable connection device is arranged at and held by the rear end of the upper guide rail, and / or the second front cable connection device is arranged at and held by the front end of the upper guide rail, 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 devices. Thus, only the guide rails have to be connected to the side walls of the function body, whereas substantially all other parts of the moving device, including the front stop device, can be connected to the guide rails.

[0039] The selective drive device is also connected to one of the mounting profiles or the guide carriages. Thus, the movement device of the present invention can be easily installed in any door section in any configuration.

[0040] The first lower roller unit and the second lower roller unit are preferably held in coaxial alignment 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 in coaxial alignment with each other by an upper bearing shaft 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 in a simpler manner by the guide carriage. This also results in a larger distance between the two bearing shafts. Since the roller units can rotate freely and independently of each other, the movement of the mounting profile can occur without friction. This also ensures that an automatic movement can occur efficiently by at least one drive device.

[0041] The movement device of the present invention preferably comprises at least one drive device having a housing in which a drive element and a transmission medium are provided, by means of which forces can be transmitted from the drive element to the mounting profile.

[0042] For example, so-called damping / retraction devices are used, by means of which the mounting profile or a part connected to it is gripped and pulled towards an end stop.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the drive device is rigidly connected by its housing to one of the mounting profile or the guide carriage and can be moved together with the mounting profile. The transmission medium of this drive device is preferably a tension cord led from the drive device directly or through the first deflection roller or through the first and second deflection rollers to a tension cord connection, which is fixedly arranged at the first or second end position of the drive path or is connected to a part of the functional body.

[0044] By means of the drive device the mounting profile can be moved automatically in one direction towards a first end position or in the other direction towards a second end position.

[0045] The drive device or the housing of the drive device is preferably arranged laterally adjacent to the mounting profile or laterally adjacent to one of the guide carriages with respect to the movement axis of the mounting profile or with respect to the drive path of the mounting profile. This arrangement of the drive device avoids shortening of the drive path, i.e. 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 therefore does not result in any restriction of the movability of the mounting profile.

[0046] It is particularly advantageous that the drive device is slidably connected to the mounting profile or guide carriage and does not have to be mounted in a part of the functional body in the door compartment that is hardly accessible or in some cases only accessible after removing the rear or side wall of the functional body. Maintenance of the movement device is also facilitated. For example, if the drive device needs to be repaired, only the mounting profile can be pulled towards the front side of the door compartment in order to easily access the drive device.

[0047] The drive device can also be fully or partly integrated in the associated guide carriage, so that an even more compact construction of the movement device can be achieved.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the drive element is a drive spring, such as a spring element, helical spring or spiral spring, and the tension cord is wound around a tension cord drum rotatably mounted and connected to the drive element, whereby rotation of the tension cord drum in one direction tensions the drive element and rotation of the tension cord drum in the other direction releases the drive element.

[0049] If a first deflection roller is provided, it is preferably connected directly or indirectly to one of the mounting profiles or the guide carriage. If a second deflection roller is provided, it is also preferably connected directly or indirectly to one of the mounting profiles or the guide carriage. In this way, the pulling cord can be guided as required and the moving device can still be constructed compactly. Since the pulling cord is guided and deflected near the mounting profile, no additional space is required.

[0050] Preferably, the first deflection roller is mounted movably relative to the housing of the drive device and relative to the second deflection roller, whereby the pretension can be transmitted to the drive element. The tension cord 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.

[0051] The first deflection roller is preferably rotatably held by a deflection unit, which is held snap-in and / or press-fit in the guide channel of the mounting profile. This advantageously allows the movement device to be adjusted and the drive element pre-tensioned to adapt to the weight of the single-part or multi-part 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 the appropriate position by a locking screw. For example, the body of the deflection unit snap-in engages in the guide channel and is fastened there by a locking screw. Due to the length of the guide channel, which preferably extends over the entire length of the mounting profile, there is a correspondingly large adjustment range, which can be covered by moving the deflection unit by hand movements.

[0052] The pulling cord connection is preferably arranged on a stop device which has a stop buffer attached to the upper or lower guide rail and forms an end stop for the upper or lower guide carriage.

[0053] Preferably, two drive devices are provided, which are fixedly connected to the mounting profile or the guide carriage, respectively, and are movable together with the mounting profile, each having a tension cord, which is led from the associated drive device either directly or through the first deflection roller or through the first deflection roller and the second deflection roller to an associated tension cord connection, which is fixedly arranged at the first or second end position of the drive path and connected thereto.

[0054] In a further preferred embodiment, the mounting profile is connected to an auxiliary drive, which has an extendable piston supported by a spring element and abuts against a stop device after the mounting profile has entered the door compartment. The spring element of the auxiliary drive is tensioned as soon as the mounting profile moves towards a first end position in the door compartment. After reaching the end position, the spring element of the auxiliary drive is loaded and can assist the drive device at the start of the drive of the mounting profile towards the second end position. The drive device and the auxiliary drive thus ideally complement each other. The auxiliary drive is thus used over short distances of 2 cm to 10 cm for rapid acceleration of the door from the end position, while the main drive continues to move the mounting profile over the entire drive path.

[0055] The mounting profile is preferably connected to a cyclically actuated locking device having an actuation rod and a gripper, which interacts with a fixedly mounted gripping element and is cyclically lockable and unlockable by pressure on the actuation rod. A first movement of the spring-supported actuation rod closes the gripper and a second movement of the actuation rod reopens the gripper. The actuation rod is preferably arranged coaxially with respect to the central axis of the gripper, so that the actuation rod can be actuated by the gripping element, which is gripped and released again by the gripper.

[0056] Preferably, the locking device has a locking body with a locking groove on one or both sides, in which the locking element engages. The locking groove is preferably designed to rotate around a central locking part and such that during the movement of the actuating rod, the associated locking element is guided cyclically around the locking part in the same direction, engaging once in the locking area and releasing again from the locking area during each rotation. Thus, when a first end position in the door compartment is reached, the locking device is actuated and held by the gripper. By pressing the attached door, the actuating rod is moved and the gripper is released again. Thus, the door can be locked in the door compartment by one press and released by another press.

[0057] The moving device of the invention can be used for any functional body having a lockable space, usually delimited by a wall or a partition. The functional body can have a space delimited by a wooden wall and can relate to a piece of furniture, in particular a wardrobe. However, the functional body can also have a space delimited by a wall, which can be locked by a single-piece or multi-piece door, possibly a folding sliding door.

[0058] The retaining device can be easily adapted to the size of the door section 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 section, only a longer retaining cable has to be provided.

[0059] The retaining cable can be guided close to the guide rail and preferably extends a short distance from the mounting profile when changing from the upper guide rail to the lower guide rail or from the lower guide rail to the upper guide rail. During these changes of direction, the retaining cable usually crosses approximately in the center of the mounting profile. The space in the door compartment is substantially occupied only by the rod-shaped mounting profile.

[0060] By avoiding a scissor cross, the inventive movement device can be constructed compactly: the door compartment can accommodate a larger single-piece or multi-piece door, possibly a folding sliding door, connected to the mounting profile by a mounting hinge.

[0061] The functional body can have one or more door compartments, for example on both sides of the functional body, which delimit the usable space of the functional body, and can also have two moving devices with single-part or multi-part doors, possibly with folding sliding doors, by means of which the usable space of the functional body can be closed on both sides of the door compartment.

[0062] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0064] 1 shows a functional body or piece of furniture 1 according to the invention in the form of a wardrobe with a door compartment 18 integrated on each side. The piece of furniture 1 has side walls 1A, a top plate 1B, a bottom plate 1C and partitions 1D, each of which together with the associated side wall 1A delimits a door compartment 18. In each door compartment 18 is arranged a movement device 10 of the invention with a mounting profile 14 which, in a preferred embodiment, is automatically movable within the door compartment 18. The mounting profile 14 holds a door 11 which is stored in or moved out of the associated door compartment 18 when the mounting profile 14 is moved.

[0065] The folding sliding door 11 is held in a first door section 18 and has first and second door elements 111, 112 hinged to each other, whereas the door 11 held in the second door section 18 by a mounting profile 14 has only one door element 111.

[0066] The folding sliding door 11 has been fully pulled out of the first door section 10 and fully unfolded such that the door elements 111, 112 are aligned in one plane. The door elements 111, 112 of the folding sliding door 11 and the door element 111 of the single piece door 11 are of equal size. Thus, the folding sliding door 11 shown in the closed position covers two-thirds of the cabinet opening 100.

[0067] The rear edge of the first door element 111 is connected by a mounting hinge 131 to a symbolically indicated mounting profile 14 which is held at the exit of the door compartment 18 after the folding sliding door 11 has been moved fully out.

[0068] The front edge of the first door element 111 is connected by a door hinge 132 to the rear edge of the second door element 112, the front edge of which is connected at the top to the front carriage 5F. The front carriage 5F is guided in a support rail 150 having rail elements interconnected by curved sections, one of which extends into the associated door compartment 18 and one of which extends along the front side of the furniture piece 1. When entering the door compartment 18 and moving along the front side of the furniture piece 1, the front carriage 5F runs forward, which causes a turn in the curved section.

[0069] Figure 2 shows a movement device 10 arranged in a first door section 18 of the functional body 1 of Figure 1, provided with a holding device 4 according to Figure 6 or Figure 7 (shown diagrammatically in Figure 2), by which a mounting profile 14 is movably held in vertical alignment.

[0070] Optionally, a mounting profile 14 , which is held in a vertical orientation by a holding device 4 and connected to the folding sliding door 11 by a mounting hinge 131 , is connected to the drive device 2 and the auxiliary drive 3 .

[0071] The mounting profile 14 is movable along a drive path S between a first end position S1 at the rear side of the door section 18 and a second end position S2 at the front side of the door section 18.

[0072] As will be further explained below with reference to Fig. 6, the mounting profile 14 is connected at its upper end to an upper guide carriage 5 guided in an upper guide rail 15 and at its lower end by a lower guide carriage 6 guided in a lower guide rail 16. The upper guide carriage 5 has a support roller 591 and a guide roller 592 and, in addition to the guiding function, also has a supporting function. The lower guide carriage 6 has a guide roller 692 guided in the lower guide rail 16.

[0073] In the second end position S2, the upper and lower guide carriages 5, 6 abut against the upper and lower stop devices 7, 8 in Figure 2, which are described in more detail below with reference to Figures 6, 8a and 8b.

[0074] In a rear first end position S1 the stop device 90 is provided with a stop or stop plate 9 which limits the drive path S of the mounting profile 14 at the rear side of the door compartment 18 .

[0075] The inventive movement device 10 preferably comprises a drive device 2 with a tension cord 22, which is not yet attached in FIG.

[0076] An even more advantageous movement of the mounting profile 14 can be achieved if the drive device 2 is not only provided 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. It is desirable to have a high acceleration of the mounting profile 14 at the beginning and a smooth movement thereafter.

[0077] Optionally, an auxiliary drive 3 is provided, by means of which at least one drive device 2 is assisted in the region of the rear first end position S1. As soon as the mounting profile 14 is released from the rear end position S1 or from the stop plate 9, the mounting profile 14 is additionally accelerated over a comparatively short distance by the auxiliary drive 3. By means of the auxiliary drive 3, a rapid movement sequence is realized: the mounting profile 14 is not moved slowly from the end position S1, but rather is accelerated quickly.

[0078] Above and below the auxiliary drive 3 there is provided a damping device 99 having a damper piston 991 which is displaced upon impact with the stop plate 9 to damp the movement of the mounting profile 14 and avoid disruptive impacts.

[0079] Between the two damping devices 99 there is also provided a cyclically acting locking device 95 having a gripper 951 which can cooperate with an actuating rod 952 and a fixedly mounted gripping element 96, the gripper 951 being cyclically lockable and unlockable by pressure on the actuating rod 952 exerted by the gripping element 96 when a first end position S1 is reached (see FIG. 11). A manual or motorized pressure on the locking device 95 therefore enables it to be locked and unlocked again by a further pressure.

[0080] 2 further shows a retraction device E, by means of which the mounting profile 14 or one of the guide carriages 5, 6 can be gripped and pulled into a first end position S1. The inventive holding device 4 can therefore be used without one or more drive devices 2, E or alternatively in combination with one or more drive devices 2, E.

[0081] Fig. 3 shows a part of the transfer device 10 of Fig. 2 with an upper end piece of the mounting profile 14 connected to an upper guide carriage 5 slidably mounted on an upper guide rail 15 and connected to a drive device 2. The drive device 2 has a drive unit 21 with a housing 210 in which a drive element 211 is provided and a tension cord drum 212 connected to the drive element 211 is rotatably held, on which the tension cord drum 212 is wound with a tension cord 22. The drive element 211 is preferably a spiral spring, such as a coil spring or a helical spring, which is tensioned or released when the tension cord drum 212 is rotated. The tension cord drum 212 is rotatably mounted by a bearing shaft 215 (shown diagrammatically). The spiral drive element 211 also surrounds the bearing shaft 215 and is rigidly connected by a first end piece 2111 to the tensioning cord drum 212 and by a second end piece 2112 to the bearing shaft 215. Thus, when the tensioning cord drum 212 is rotated while the tensioning cord 22 is being unwound, the first end piece 2111 of the drive element 211 is guided around the bearing shaft 215, whereas the second end piece 2112 of the drive element 211 is held in place. As soon as the tensioning cord 22 is released, the tensioning cord drum 212 is again rotated counter-rotatingly by the tensioned drive element 211. For example, when the connecting element 221 is hooked onto the tension cord connection at the front end of the tension cord 22 and the mounting profile 14 is stored in the door compartment 18, the tension cord 22 is pulled out of the drive unit 21, the tension cord drum 212 is rotated and the drive element 211 is tensioned. Now, when the second end position S2 is reached, the mounting profile 14 can be locked by the locking device 95.As soon as this locking device is released, the tensioning cord drum 212 is rotated in the opposite direction by the drive element 211, the tensioning cord 22 is retracted again and the mounting profile 14 is moved from the second end position S2 to the first end position S1. Thus, the door 11 connected to the mounting profile 14 is automatically moved out of the door compartment 18.

[0082] By connecting the drive device 2 to the mounting profile 14 or the guide carriage 5, mounting in the rear wall, the bulkhead 1D or the side wall 1A of the functional body 1 is no longer necessary. It is particularly advantageous that the movement device 10 can be installed in door compartments 18 of different dimensions without modification. As will be explained below, adjustments and settings can be made with minimal effort. Even if the movement device 10 is provided with a drive device 2 on the upper side of the mounting profile 14 and a drive device 2 on the lower side of the mounting profile 14, the mounting of the movement device 10 can be made with minimal effort.

[0083] FIG. 3 further shows that the mounting profile 14 has two guide channels 141 , 142 and a mounting channel 143 in which the mounting hinge 131 is matingly held and can be fixed by a locking screw 1311 .

[0084] At least one of the guide channels 141, 142 is used to hold a deflection unit 230, which can be moved along the mounting profile 14 and fixed in place by a locking screw.

[0085] The upper guide carriage 5 has a two-part carriage body 51 with 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 integrally connected to each other, but in this embodiment are connected to each other by a coupling member 55. The support roller 591 is supported on a runner element 151 of the upper guide rail 15, and the guide roller 592 is guided in a guide channel 152 of the upper guide rail 15. A buffer or damper 58 is inserted in the carriage body 51. Furthermore, the upper guide carriage 5 has a stop member 53 that can cooperate with a buffer or damper in the front stop device 7.

[0086] FIG. 4 shows the upper guide carriage 5 of FIG. 3 from the other side, removed from the mounting profile 14, in which the deflection unit 230 with the first deflection roller 23 is held so that it can be moved and fixed. The deflection unit 230 is held in a snap-fit ​​manner in the guide channel 141 or 142 and can be moved along the guide channel 141 or 142 and locked in place. The tension cord 22 of the drive device 2 is guided around the first deflection roller 23 to the second deflection roller 24 held by the carriage body 51 of the upper guide carriage 5. From the second deflection roller 24, the tension cord 22 is led further to a tension cord connection 72 arranged in the upper stop device 7 (see FIG. 5).

[0087] By moving the deflection unit 230 along the mounting profile 14, the path from the tensioning cord drum 212 to the second deflection roller 24 can be lengthened or shortened. By lengthening this path, a corresponding length of the tensioning cord 22 is withdrawn from the drive unit 21, the tensioning cord drum 212 is correspondingly rotated and the drive element 211 is correspondingly pre-tensioned. Thus, by pre-tensioning the drive element 211, the drive element 211 acts on the tensioning cord 22 with a greater tensile force and the mounting profile 14 is moved with a greater force from the first end position S1 towards the second end position S2. This adjustment can be easily performed in several steps.

[0088] 4 further shows that the first carriage body portion 511 has a downwardly facing mounting sword 5111 that is insertable into a mounting hole 140 in the mounting profile 14. A portion of the mounting profile 14 is retained between the mounting sword 5111 and a retaining plate 5112.

[0089] The first carriage body part 511 also carries a bearing shaft 415, from which a first upper roller unit 411 and a second upper roller unit 412 are rotatably held. The first and second roller units 411, 412 forming a roller pair 41 are part of a holding device 4 which will be described below. Located above the roller pair 41 is a functional part 57 which fixes holding cables 421, 422 shown in Fig. 6.

[0090] The second carriage body portion 512 is provided with a damper channel 5120 in which the carriage damper 58 is disposed and secured by a locking element, possibly a locking screw 5121 .

[0091] Figure 5 shows the upper part of the movement device 10 of Figure 2, which is provided with a drive device 2, from which a tension cord 22 is guided through a first deflection roller 23 of a deflection unit 230 slidably connected to the mounting profile 14 and a second deflection roller 24 connected to the upper guide carriage 5 to a tension cord connection 72 in the upper stop device 7 held in front of the upper guide rail 15.

[0092] To activate the drive device 2, the coupling member 221 is gripped at the end of the tension cord 2, guided around the first and second deflection rollers 23, 24 and hooked onto the tension cord connection 72 of the upper stop device 7. This procedure can be performed in a few simple steps.

[0093] The stopping device 7 is held by means of a mounting beam 711 (see FIG. 8b) in a holding channel 157 provided in the bottom of the runner element 151 of the upper guide rail 15. Above the runner element 151 the running mechanism is thus provided with the support rollers 591 and guide rollers 592 of the upper guide carriage 5 (see FIG. 3) and with an adjustment part 159 for adjusting the damper engagement depth, which can interact with the carriage damper 58. However, below the runner element 151 a drive technology with a tension cord 22 and a holding technology of the holding device 4 with holding cables 421, 422 are provided (see also FIG. 6).

[0094] Depending on the presence of a door with one door element 111 or two door elements 111, 112, the upper stop device 7 has spacer rollers 79 on one or both sides, on which the held door elements 111, 112 can roll without coming into contact with the body 71 of the upper stop device 7. Furthermore, the upper stop device 7 has a cable connection device 74, by means of which one of the holding cables 421 of the holding device 4 is held. Furthermore, a stop damper or stop buffer 78 is provided which can cooperate with a stop member 53 (see FIG. 4) of the upper guide carriage 5.

[0095] Figure 6 shows the transfer device 10 of figure 2 with an inventive holding device 4 having two holding cables 421, 422. An upper guide carriage 5 provided at the upper end of the mounting profile 14 is guided in an upper guide rail 15, and a lower guide carriage 6 provided at the lower end of the mounting profile 14 is guided in a lower guide rail 16. An upper stop device 7 is shown in front of the upper guide rail 15 and a lower stop device 8 in front of the lower guide rail 16 (see also figure 7). In figure 6 the guide rails 15, 16 are not shown.

[0096] The upper front stop device 7 with the mounting beam 711, the tension cord connection 72 and the cable connection device 74 for the second retaining cable 422 has already been described with reference to Fig. 5. A rotating lever 75 is used to hold the mounting profile 14 in the front end position S2. In this position, the mounting profile 14 is held vertically aligned so that the door 11 or door element 111, 112 can be particularly easily mounted. The upper cable connection device 74 has a mounting channel 741 (see Fig. 8b) with adjacent recesses into which the end pieces of the upper retaining cable 422 can be inserted.

[0097] The lower stop device 8 and the upper stop device 7 are described below with reference to Figures 8a and 8b. The tension cord connection 74 of the upper stop device 7 holds the second tension cord 422. The tension cord connection 84 of the lower stop device 8 has a setting sledge 842 which is slidably mounted and adjustable by means of a setting screw 845. The setting screw 845 and the setting sledge 842 form a setting device 840. By manipulating the setting screw 845, the first holding cable 421 can be tightened or loosened and the mounting profile 14 can be vertically aligned.

[0098] The holding device 4 comprises a first front cable connection 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, a first rear cable connection device 44 arranged at the rear end of the upper guide rail 15, and a first holding cable 421 connected to the first front cable connection device 84 by a first end piece, passed counterclockwise around the first lower roller unit 431 and clockwise around the first upper roller unit 411 and connected to the first rear cable connection device 44 by a second end piece.

[0099] Furthermore, the holding device 4 has a second front cable connection 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, a second rear cable connection device 45 arranged at the rear end of the lower guide rail 16, and a second holding cable 422 connected to the second front cable connection device 74 by a first end piece, passed clockwise around the second upper roller unit 412 and clockwise around the second lower roller unit 432 and connected to the second rear cable connection device 45 by a second end piece.

[0100] The first front cable connection device 84 in this preferred embodiment is provided at the front end of the lower guide rail 16 of the lower stop device 8. The second front cable connection device 74 in this preferred embodiment is arranged at the front end of the upper guide rail 15 of the upper stop device 7.

[0101] The second rear cable connection device 45 has a second tensioning device 450 with a second tension spring 453 which is connected on the one hand to the second holding cable 422 directly or via a second connecting sledge 452 (shown in dashed lines) and on the other hand to a second tensioning sledge 454 into which is screwed a fixedly held second tensioning screw 455 by means of which the second tensioning sledge 454 is movable along its longitudinal axis in a second bearing profile 459 in order to tension the second tension spring 453. During installation, the tension spring 453 is tensioned and a corresponding tensile force is transmitted to the second holding cable 422.

[0102] Thus, in the inventive retaining device 4, one of the retaining cables 421, 422, in this embodiment the second retaining cable 422, is always held elastically. On the other hand, the first retaining 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 effected by the first setting device 840 or alternatively by a first adjusting device provided at the other end on the first rear cable connection device 44.

[0103] Preferably, the second tension spring 453 is pretensioned or stretched by a predetermined amount. When the second tension spring 453 is connected to the tension sledge 454 on the one hand and the connecting sledge 452 on the other hand, the relative movement of the tension sledge 454 and the connecting sledge 452 corresponds to a tension force in the tension spring 453. Therefore, the applied tension force can be easily determined based on this movement. When the connecting sledge 452 is used, the retention cable 422 can be more easily connected as described below.

[0104] 7, it is further explained that a tension force is preferably also applied to the first retention cable 421 before it is fixed. By applying a tension force to the second retention cable 422 or to the first and second retention cables 421, 422, the advantages explained above arise.

[0105] The preferably provided drive device 2 held by the upper guide carriage 5 has already been described with reference to Fig. 3. The tension cord 22 of the drive device 2 is guided through a first deflection roller 23 and a second deflection roller 24 to a tension cord connection 72 provided on the upper front stop device 7. The deflection unit 230 is snap-fittingly held in the first guide channel 141 by a foam element 232 and is slidable along the mounting profile 14.

[0106] Fig. 7 shows the transfer device 10 of Fig. 6 with two rear cable connection devices 44, 45 of the holding device 4 with bearing profiles 449, 459 connected to the rear end pieces of the upper or lower guide rails 15, 16, respectively. The bearing profiles 449, 459 have elongated bearing openings 4490, 4590 through which device parts are only partially visible. The device parts provided on the bearing profiles 449, 459 with the respective tension springs 443, 453 are therefore shown doubly and separately. The tension springs 443, 453 are also shown separately.

[0107] Each of the cable connection devices 44, 45 comprises an inlet roller 441, 451, a connecting sledge 442, 452, a tension spring 443, 453, a tension sledge 444, 454, a tensioning screw 445, 455 and a screw holder 446, 456 fixed to a bearing profile 449, 459, by which the tensioning screw 445, 455 is held. The screw holder 446, 456 is connected by a mounting screw 4461 to the corresponding bearing profile 449; 459, respectively. Adjacent end pieces of the associated holding cables 421, 422 are guided through inlet rollers 441, 451 to connecting sledges 442, 452 which are connected by tensioning springs 443, 453 to tensioning sledges 444, 454 which are connected by tensioning screws 445, 455 to screw holders 446, 456. By tightening the tensioning screws 445, 455, the tensioning sledges 445, 455 are pulled against the screw holders 446, 456 and the tensioning springs 443, 453 are tensioned. The tension force exerted by the tensioning springs 443, 453 is transferred via the connecting sledges 442, 452 to the connected holding cables 421, 422. The aforementioned parts of the cable connection devices 44, 45 thus form tensioning devices 440, 450 by means of which the tension in the retaining cables 421, 422 can be adjusted.

[0108] With reference to Figure 6 it has been explained that the connecting sledge 452 is only selectively provided in the second cable connection device 45. However, in the first cable connection device 44 of Figure 7, which preferably also has a tensioning device 440, the connecting sledge 442 is always present, by means of which the first pulling cord 421 can be fixed after the application of a pulling force.

[0109] If after setting the tension force the first connecting sledge 442 is fixed to the first holding cable 421, the set tension force is still maintained. For this purpose the connecting sledge 442 of the first rear cable connection device 44 is provided with a locking screw 448 which is passed through a profile opening 4490 in a bearing profile 449 and which is clamped against the bearing profile 449 when tightened. A part of the bearing profile 449 is therefore symbolically shown below the locking screw 448.

[0110] The installation of the mobile device of the present invention is preferably performed as follows: The mounting profile 14 is vertically aligned and preferably fixed, for example by means of locking levers 75, 85 arranged on the stop devices 7 and 8. - a first holding cable 421 is connected by a first end piece to the first front cable connection device 84, passed around the first lower or upper roller unit 431 and around the first upper or lower roller unit 411, connected by a second end piece to the first rear cable connection device 44 and manually tensioned. The roller units 411, 431 are rotated once clockwise and once counterclockwise by the first holding cable 421 or vice versa. - the second holding cable 422 is connected by a first end piece to the second front cable connection device 74, passed around the second upper or lower roller unit 412 and around the second lower or upper roller unit 432, connected by a second end piece to the second rear cable connection device 45 and manually tensioned. The roller units 412, 432 are passed by the second holding cable 421 once clockwise and once counterclockwise or vice versa. - The second retaining cable 422 is connected to the second connecting sledge 452 at the second rear cable connection device 45, after which the second tensioning screw 455 is rotated and the second tensioning sledge 454 and the second connecting sledge 452, which are connected to each other by the second tension spring 453, are moved relative to each other by a predetermined amount. - Here, the first front setting sledge 842 of the first front setting device 840 of the first front cable connection device 84, which is connected on one side to the fixed first holding cable 421, is adjusted by means of a fixed setting screw 845 in order to vertically align the mounting profile 14 or to optimise the vertical alignment of a previously released mounting profile 14.

[0111] After the installation procedure is completed, a predetermined tension is applied to the second retaining cable 422 and the mounting profile 14 is vertically aligned by the taut first retaining cable 421 .

[0112] The installation process is optimized by applying a predetermined tension to the first retaining cable 421 before adjusting or vertically aligning the mounting profile 14. After applying a predetermined tension to both retaining cables 421, 422, the effort to adjust or vertically align the mounting profile 14 is reduced.

[0113] In a preferred implementation of the installation method, the first retaining cable 421 in the first rear cable connection device 44 is additionally connected to the first connecting sledge 442, after which the first tensioning screw 445 is rotated and the first tensioning sledge 444 and the first connecting sledge 442, which are connected to each other by the first tension spring 443, are moved relative to each other by a predetermined amount.

[0114] After this step, a predetermined tension force is applied to both pulling sledges 421, 422. These adjustments are preferably made according to a measuring rod, which indicates the degree of mutual movement of the connecting sledges 442, 452 and the pulling sledges 444, 454 on a scale, preferably with marks, possibly with color marks.

[0115] After applying a predetermined tension force, the first connecting sledge 442 is fixed to the corresponding first bearing profile 449. The first front setting device 840 is then actuated to vertically align the mounting profile 14, which is no longer fixed, as will be described. Typically, only minimal corrections are necessary.

[0116] 7 symbolically shows that optionally, on the underside of the mounting profile 14, a second sliding deflection unit with a second drive device 2′ and a first deflection roller 23′ can also be provided. The lower pulling cord is guided through the first deflection roller 23′ and a deflection roller, which is for example mounted on the lower guide carriage 6, up to a pulling cord connection 82 at the lower stop device 8. The second drive device 2′ and the corresponding device parts can thus be practically provided as a mirror image of the first drive device 2 with minimal effort.

[0117] Figure 8a shows the upper stop device 7 and the lower stop device 8 of Figure 7 in a spatial representation, and Figure 8b shows the upper stop device 7 and the lower stop device 8 of Figure 7 in a cross-sectional view.

[0118] The upper stop device 7 and the lower stop device 8 each have a device body 71, 81 and a mounting beam 711, 811 formed thereon which can be captured by a locking screw 712, 812 in the associated upper or lower guide rail 15, 16. The upper stop device 7 has a hook-shaped tension cord connection 72 onto which the coupling member 221 of the tension cord 22 can be hooked.

[0119] Furthermore, each stop device 7, 8 preferably has spacer rollers 79, 89 on both sides which keep the passing door 11 at a defined distance and a rotatable locking lever 75, 85 by means of which the mounting profile 14 can be fixed at the front side for carrying out installation work, maintenance work or adjustments. If a second drive device 2' is provided, the locking lever 85 can also be used as a tension cord connection 82. The locking levers 75, 85 are held by holding shells 710, 810 which are connected to the device body 71, 81 by means of screws.

[0120] Furthermore, each stopping device 7 , 8 comprises a preferably adjustable stopping buffer 78 , 88 which comprises a buffer body 781 , 881 and an adjustment screw 782 , 882 .

[0121] The cable connection device 74 of the upper stop device 7 is simple and comprises a retaining block 742 with an upwardly open mounting channel 741 in which an end piece of the second retaining cable 422 can be hooked.

[0122] The lower stop device 8 comprises a cable connection device 84 with a setting device 840 formed by a slidable setting sledge 842 and a setting screw 845, by means of which the setting sledge 842 is slidable in a bearing profile 843. The setting sledge 842 has a mounting channel 841 into which an end piece of the first retaining cable 421 can be hooked.

[0123] Furthermore, the lower stop device 8 has a plunger 86 which is axially movable by means of an adjusting screw 861 and which can cooperate with an integrated carriage damper 68 of the lower guide carriage 6 .

[0124] FIG. 9a shows the upper rear cable connection device 44 and FIG. 9b shows the lower rear cable connection device 45, which have already been briefly described with reference to FIG.

[0125] The inlet rollers 441 of the upper rear cable connection device 44 are held by roller holders 4411, which can be tensioned in the bearing profile 449 by tensioning elements 4412. The inlet rollers 451 of the lower rear cable connection device 45 are held by roller holders 4511, which can be tensioned in the bearing profile 459 by tensioning elements 4512.

[0126] The optional connecting sledges 442, 452 have clamping jaws 4421, 4422 and 4521, 4522, respectively, which can be pressed against each other by clamping screws 4423, 4523 to secure the end pieces of the respective retaining cables 421, 422 inserted between the clamping jaws. Thus, the retaining cables 421, 422 can be pulled through the connecting sledges 442, 452 and manually tensioned and secured.

[0127] Further shown is a locking screw 448, by means of which the first connecting sledge 442 can be fixed to a corresponding first bearing profile 449. After the first connecting sledge 442 has been fixed, the first tension spring 443 has no further effect. The elasticity of the holding device 4 is then determined by the still active tension spring 453 of the second cable connecting device 45.

[0128] As mentioned, the aforementioned parts of the cable connection device 44, 45 form tensioning devices 440, 450 by means of which the tensioning force in the holding cables 421, 422 can be adjusted. To set the desired tensioning force, measuring rods 447, 457 with control windows 4570 are provided. The measuring rods 457 are connected to the connecting sledge 452 and overlap with scales 4471, 4571 provided on the tensioning sledges 444, 454. The mutual movement of the connecting sledges 442, 452 and the tensioning sledges 444, 454, which are slidably mounted on the bearing profiles 449, 459, can thus be read by the measuring rods 447, 457.

[0129] FIG. 10 shows the auxiliary drive 3 of FIG. 2, which 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 has a housing 33 and at least one extendable piston 32, which is supported by a spring element 31 and which engages with the end stop 9 after the mounting profile 14 has entered the door compartment 18. The spring element 31 of the auxiliary drive 3 is tensioned as soon as the mounting profile 14 moves towards the first end position S1 in the door compartment 18. After reaching the end position, the spring element 31 of the auxiliary drive 3 is loaded and can assist the drive device 2 at the start of the drive of the mounting profile 14 towards the second end position S2.

[0130] The mounting profile 14 is further connected to a cyclically actuated locking device 95 having an actuating rod 952 and a gripper 951, which cooperates with a fixedly mounted gripping element 96 and is cyclically lockable and releasable by applying pressure to the actuating rod 952. A first movement of the actuating rod 952, which is arranged in the device housing 953 and supported by a spring, closes the gripper 951, and a second movement of the actuating rod 952 reopens the gripper 951. The actuating rod 952 is preferably arranged coaxially with respect to the central axis of the gripper 951, so that the actuating rod 952 can be actuated by the gripping element 96, which is gripped and released by the gripper 951. The gripping element 96 is arranged in a stop plate 9 of a stop device 90, which is attached to an intermediate wall 1D of the functional body 1. The movement path of the actuating rod 952 is indicated by a dotted line. Just before reaching the end position S1, the actuating rod 952 abuts against the gripping element 96 and is pushed in by the gripping element 96, whereby the gripping device 95 is actuated and coupled to the gripping element 96.

[0131] Furthermore, a damping device 99 is provided which comprises a damper piston 991, which abuts against the stop plate 9 as soon as the mounting profile 14 reaches the end position S1.

[0132] The auxiliary drive 3, the gripping device 95, and the damping device 99 are optional and may be replaced by functionally equivalent devices.

[0133] Figure 11 shows an assembly configuration of the movement device 10 having a mounting profile substitute 14' that releasably holds the upper guide carriage 5 and the lower guide carriage 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 carriage 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 carriage 6, and pre-assembled holding cables 421, 422.

[0134] The holding cables 421, 422 are connected at the front to the cable connection devices 74, 84 of the stop devices 8, 7 and at the rear to the cable connection devices 44, 45.

[0135] Figure 11 also shows one of the partitions 1D of Figure 1, with the lower and upper guide rails 15, 16 already attached to it, to which the transfer device 10 in the assembled configuration is transferred. Installation is particularly easy to perform if the intermediate wall 1D is horizontally aligned.

[0136] Thus, to install movement device 10 in an assembled configuration, it is only necessary to replace mounting profile substitute 14' with mounting profile 14 and upper and lower guide rail substitutes 15', 16' with upper and lower guide rails 15, 16. The previously described steps for tensioning retention cables 421, 422 and aligning mounting profile 14 can then be performed.

[0137] Thus, the assembly configuration of the mobile device 10 can advantageously be provided by the manufacturer, while installation of the mobile device 10 at the installation site can be performed by the user in a simple manner with little instruction, for example, by the installation steps described below.

[0138] Preferably, the mounting profile substitute 14' replaces the mounting profile 14 in a first installation step.

[0139] In a second installation step, the guide carriages 5, 6, now connected to the mounting profile 14, are inserted into the corresponding upper and lower guide rails 15, 16 connected by the bulkhead 1D.

[0140] In a third installation step, the stop devices 7, 8 are removed from the upper and lower guide rail substitutes 15', 16' and inserted into the upper and lower guide rails 15, 16. The mounting beam 711 of the upper stop device 7 is inserted into the mounting channel 153 of the upper guide rail 15 and the mounting beam 811 of the lower stop device 8 is inserted into the mounting channel 163 of the lower guide rail 16.

[0141] In a fourth installation step, the rear cable connection devices 44, 45 are removed from the upper and lower guide rail substitutes 15', 16' and connected to the upper and lower guide rails 15, 16. For this purpose, the mounting strips 4495 of the first rear cable connection device 44 are screwed into the mounting connections 154 of the upper guide rail 15. The second rear cable connection device 45 is inserted into the mounting channels 163 of the lower guide rail 16 by means of the mounting beams 45111 connected to corresponding roller holders 4511.

[0142] In a final installation step, the upper guide rail substitute 15 ′ is removed from the upper guide carriage 5 and the lower guide rail substitute 16 ′ is removed from the lower guide carriage 6 .

[0143] After these installation steps, which are also interchangeable, the movement device 10 of the present invention is connected only to the upper and lower guide rails 15, 16.

[0144] The retention cables 421, 422 are then tensioned as previously described. [Explanation of symbols]
