Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an assembly for guiding a movable furniture part, preferably a sliding door or a folding sliding door, in a fixed furniture part, preferably a furniture cabinet, having the features of the preamble of claim 1. The present invention further relates to a piece of furniture comprising such an assembly.

[0002] Assemblies of the type according to the preamble of claim 1 are already known. A disadvantage of such solutions according to the prior art is that the movable furniture part is guided in at least one guide system only via the support. The movement of the support - and thus of the movable furniture part - along the at least one guide system can be difficult or prevented due to insufficient guidance of the movable furniture part by the movable furniture part. The movable and / or fixed furniture part can also be damaged by such a movement.

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide an assembly for guiding a movable furniture part, preferably a sliding door or a folding sliding door, in a fixed furniture part, preferably a furniture cabinet, which avoids the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and which is improved over the prior art, and a piece of furniture comprising at least one such assembly.

[0004] This problem is solved by the independent claims 1 and 11 The problem is solved by the features described in.

[0005] According to the invention it is therefore envisaged that the movable furniture part has at least one guiding device separate from the guiding system for guiding the movable furniture part directly in the fixed furniture part.

[0006] The movable furniture part is therefore guided in the fixed furniture part not only indirectly via the support but also directly via a separate guide device, so that when the support - and thus also the movable furniture part - moves along at least one guide system, the movable furniture part is guided in such a way that a frictionless course of movement is guaranteed. It is further envisaged that the assembly has at least one adjustment device by means of which at least a part of the guide device is adjustable relative to a fixed furniture part, preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the at least one guide system. In this case, such an adjustment device makes it possible, inter alia, to subsequently adjust the guide device to given or changing conditions, in particular by means of which the guide device can be adjusted in such a way that, during the movement of the support - and thus also the movable furniture part - along the at least one guide system, the movable furniture part is guided parallel to the at least one guide system.

[0007] Furthermore, there is provided furniture according to the invention comprising at least one fixed furniture part, at least one movable furniture part and at least one assembly for guiding the movable furniture part in the fixed furniture part, preferably this furniture having a shaft-shaped cavity in which the at least one movable furniture part can be arranged.

[0008] Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0009] It may be envisaged that the guide device has at least one groove and at least one guide element which engages in a defined area in the at least one groove, which is an uncomplicated, inexpensive and at the same time stable means for realising the guide device.

[0010] In one embodiment of the invention it may be envisaged that at least one groove is arranged on the movable furniture part, preferably extending over the entire length of the edge of the movable furniture part, and at least one guide element is arranged on the fixed furniture part.

[0011] However, it may also be envisaged that at least one groove is arranged on the fixed furniture part and at least one guide element is arranged on the movable furniture part, preferably the at least one guide element extending over the entire length of the edge of the movable furniture part.

[0012] Depending on the concrete use case, at least one of both aspects ensures the best possible guiding of the movable furniture part in the fixed furniture part.

[0013] If at least one groove or at least one guide element extends over the entire length of the edge of the movable furniture part, this contributes to a more stable and all-round guiding of the movable furniture part on the fixed furniture part.

[0014] According to a further embodiment of the invention it may be envisaged that the movable furniture part is formed by a sliding door or a folding sliding door, preferably the sliding door or the folding sliding door comprises only one door.

[0017] It may further be provided that the adjustment device has an operating element with which the adjustment device can be operated, the operating element preferably being designed in the form of a screw, which is a simple means for operating the adjustment device.

[0018] It may preferably be envisaged that the assembly comprises a compensation device.

[0019] It may be particularly advantageously provided that the compensation device comprises a pivoting lever mechanism and / or a cable traction device.

[0020] Such a compensation device prevents the support from becoming stuck in the at least one guide system in the event of an overload of the movable furniture part.

[0021] If the assembly has at least two, preferably vertically spaced apart, guide systems, a more stable guiding of the support in the guide systems is ensured.

[0022] With regard to the furniture according to the invention it may be envisaged that the movable furniture parts comprise a frame, preferably made of an aluminium profile, and / or a covering, preferably made of glass.

[0023] Such a configuration of the movable furniture part allows a stable construction of the movable furniture part, which, if the movable furniture part consists of an aluminium frame and a glass cover, is even more visually appealing to the user.

[0024] It may be particularly advantageously provided for the moulding to have grooves and / or guide elements, which is an inexpensive, uncomplicated and visually attractive way of realising part of the guide device.

[0027] 1 shows a perspective view of a piece of furniture 100 with an assembly according to the invention. The piece of furniture 100 comprises, in this case, a fixed furniture part 3 and a movable furniture part 2 in the form of a folding sliding door with a door, which in this example is formed by a frame 2b, not shown, made of an aluminium profile and a cover 2c made of glass.

[0028] Of course, different materials can be used for the frame and cover, for example wood, plastic, or other metals, and it may even be envisaged that the frame and cover are made of the same material, or that the frame and cover are even integrally formed with one another.

[0029] The fixed furniture part 3 further comprises a cavity 101 which is bounded by a side wall 101a, into which the movable furniture part 2 can be inserted, at least in a predefined area.

[0030] The furniture 100 according to the invention comprises in this example a further furniture section 103 which comprises a folding sliding door 103a and a cavity 103b. This furniture section 103 may be a normal furniture section or a furniture section with an assembly according to the invention.

[0031] In figure 1b the movable furniture part 2 is shown opened and transferred into the cavity 101. The folding sliding door 103a of another furniture section 103 is also opened and transferred into the cavity 103b.

[0032] Figure 2a shows a perspective view of a part of a piece of furniture 100 according to the invention. It can be seen that the side walls 101a which delimit a cavity 101 are connected to one another via a connecting element 102. The guide device 6 is shown diagrammatically.

[0033] Figure 2b also shows a perspective view of a part of a piece of furniture 100 according to the invention, but one side wall 101a is not shown. Two guide systems 4, 5 are shown for guiding a support 8 in a fixed furniture part 3. A movable furniture part 2 is pivotably supported on the support 8 via a hinge 8a.

[0034] Further shown is a compensation device 9 consisting of a swivel lever mechanism 9a and a cable traction device 9b. The swivel lever mechanism 9a comprises two swivel levers, the longer of which is, on the one hand, swivelably arranged on a fixed furniture part and, on the other hand, swivelably and slidably arranged substantially in the middle of the support. The shorter of the swivel levers is swivelably supported in the upper region of the support and substantially in the middle of the longer swivel lever.

[0035] The cable-traction device 9b comprises a cable, the ends of which are respectively arranged on supports, which are connected via deflection rollers to a stationary furniture part.

[0036] Figure 3a shows a section in a perspective view of a piece of furniture 100 according to the invention in a first position. It can be seen that the movable furniture part 2 has not yet been placed in the cavity 101. In figure 3b detail A of figure 3a is shown.

[0037] In this figure it is clear that the frame 2b has a groove 6a of the guide device 6. The groove 6a extends in this embodiment along the entire edge 2a of the frame 2b. In particular, the groove 6a is formed by the frame 2b.

[0038] However, it may also be envisaged that the groove 6a extends along the edge 2a only in a predefined area.Furthermore, the groove 6a may for example be formed by a molding separate from the frame 2b.

[0039] Furthermore, a connecting element 102 is visible, which connects the side walls 101a. In this embodiment, an adjustment device 7 is arranged on the connecting element 102. Via the adjustment device 7, the guide element 6b, which is arranged on the adjustment device 7, can be adjusted. In particular, the adjustment of the guide element 6b takes place along a perpendicular to the side wall 101a. The guide element 6b is not yet engaged in the groove 6a in this case.

[0040] It may be envisaged that the movable furniture part 2 or frame 2b can be adjusted via the guide element 6b and the groove 6a by means of the adjustment device 7. It is furthermore conceivable that the adjustment device 7 is not arranged on the connecting element 102 but on the fixed furniture part 3, for example via a separate mounting device.

[0041] Figure 4a shows a section of a perspective view of a part of furniture 100 according to the invention in a first position. It can be seen that the movable furniture part 2 is arranged in a defined area in the cavity 101. In figure 4b detail A of figure 4a is shown. It can be seen that the guide element 6b now engages in the groove 6a, whereby the movable furniture part 2 is guided directly along the fixed furniture part 3.

[0042] Figure 5a shows for a better understanding a section of a front view of a piece of furniture 100 according to the invention. Figure 5b also shows detail A of figure 5a.

[0043] It can be seen that the guide element 6b engages in the groove 6a, so that the movable furniture part 2 is guided directly along the fixed furniture part 3. As is also evident from these figures 5a and 5b, an adjustment of the guide element 6b via the adjustment device 7 also results in an adjustment of the position of the movable furniture part 2 in the cavity 101, i.e. between the side walls 101a. The adjustment device 7 can thus be used to align the movable furniture part 2 inside the cavity 101.

[0044] Figures 6a to 9b show various embodiments of a frame 2b according to the present invention, with Figures 6a, 7a, 8a and 9a showing perspective views of frame 2b and Figures 6b, 7b, 8b and 9b showing corresponding cross-sectional views.

[0045] In the first embodiment according to figures 6a and 6b, the frame 2b has a groove 6a. The frame 2b and the groove 6a are in this case formed integrally with one another. The frame 2b is formed from a moulded material, for example an extruded material.

[0046] The second exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 7a and 7b corresponds essentially to the first exemplary embodiment, but in addition a cover 2c, for example made of glass, is arranged on the frame 2b.

[0047] In the third exemplary embodiment according to Figures 8a and 8b, the frame 2b has a guide element 6b. The frame 2b and the guide element 6b can in this case be formed integrally with one another. However, the guide element 6b can also be formed by a separate part, for example made of plastic.

[0048] The fourth embodiment according to figures 9a and 9b is a combination of embodiment 1 and embodiment 3. According to this, the frame 2b comprises both a groove 6a and a guide element 6b.

[0049] 10 shows an exploded view of the adjustment device according to the invention. The adjustment device 7 has a support device 7c, which in this embodiment is arranged slidably in a recess 102a of the connecting element 102. The guide element 6b is supported on the support device 7c. It may also be envisaged that the groove 6a is supported on the support device 7c.

[0050] The support device 7c has projections 7d which engage in recesses 102c of the connecting element 102, so that on the one hand the support device 7c is held on the connecting element 102 and on the other hand the movement of the support device 7c is limited.

[0051] The adjusting device 7 further comprises an operating element 7a, which is connected to the fastening element 7b and to a receptacle 7f of the supporting device 7c. By operating the operating element 7a, the fastening element 7b is clamped in the clamping area 7e. The operating element 7a is thus also connected to the supporting device 7c, so that the supporting device is fixed relative to the connecting element 102. As a result, the guide element 6b is also fixed relative to the fixed furniture part 3.

[0052] To adjust the guide element 6b relative to the fixed furniture part 3, the operating element 7a is actuated, which releases the clamping by the fixing element 7b in the clamping area 7e. The support device 7c and thus the guide element 6b can now be adjusted. After the adjustment, the support device 7c and thus the guide element 6b can be fixed as already described.

[0053] The holes 102b in the connection element 102 are used for attaching the connection element 102 to a fixed furniture part 2 or to a side wall 101a.

[0054] Figures 11a-11c show the adjustment device 7 according to the invention in various positions: in Figure 11a it is maximally adjusted in a first direction, in Figure 11b it is arranged in an intermediate position and in Figure 11c it is maximally adjusted in a second direction. It can be seen how the guide element 6b is adjusted relative to the connecting element 102 and thus relative to the fixed furniture part 3. [Explanation of symbols]
