Abstract

An arrangement for guiding a sliding door or folding-sliding door on a furniture wall includes a first guide system to be fastened on the furniture wall and a second guide system to be fastened on the furniture wall at a vertical distance from the first guide system. The two guide systems each have at least one guide and a guide body which is displaceably mounted on the guide, and a carrier on which the sliding door or folding-sliding door is to be fastened and which is connected in a movement-coupled manner to the two guide bodies of the guide systems. The carrier is assembled in the vertical direction from at least two carrier portions, and the at least two carrier portions can be releasably connected.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An arrangement for guiding a sliding door or folding-sliding door on a furniture panel, comprising:
a first guide system to be fastened to the furniture panel;
a second guide system to be fastened to the furniture panel at a vertical distance from the first guide system, wherein the first and second guide systems each have at least one guide and a guide body displaceably mounted on the at least one guide; and
a support, to which the sliding door or folding-sliding door is to be fastened and which is connected in a movement-coupled manner to the guide bodies of the first and second guide systems,
wherein the support is composed in the vertical direction of at least two support segments,
wherein the at least two support segments are releasably connectable,
and wherein the releasable connection of the at least two support segments is effected via angled plates.

2. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the angled plates are connectable to the support segments via a plug-in and screw connection.

3. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two support segments include a first support segment connected to the guide body of the first guide system, a second support segment connected to the guide body of the second guide system, and a third support segment which connects the first and second support segments to each other.

4. The arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the third support segment has a fixed length.

5. The arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the at least three support segments includes a fourth support segment which is adjustable in its length.

6. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein all pre-installed components of the arrangement have a maximum length of 1200 mm and a maximum width of 800 mm, with the result that they can be arranged on a Euro pallet for shipping purposes, the pre-installed components including the first guide system and one of the at least two support segments connected to the guide body of the first guide system.

7. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the support has at least two interfaces for fastening the sliding door or folding-sliding door, and wherein the at least two interfaces are arranged on different support segments of the support.

8. The arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the support has at least three interfaces for fastening the sliding door or folding-sliding door, and wherein the at least three interfaces are arranged on different support segments of the support.

9. The arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein at least one interface is adjustable in the vertical direction.

10. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the support or the at least two support segments are formed substantially L-shaped in cross section, and/or have at least one recess.

11. A piece of furniture comprising:
at least one furniture panel;
at least one sliding door or folding-sliding door; and
the arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second guide systems are fastened to the at least one furniture panel, and the at least one sliding door or folding-sliding door is secured to the support.

12. The piece of furniture according to claim 11 , wherein the piece of furniture has a receiving area for receiving components of a kitchen or a clothes-storage device.

13. A method for installing the arrangement according to claim 1 on a furniture panel, the method comprising:
fastening one of the first and second guide systems to the furniture panel;
fastening the other of the first and second guide systems to the furniture panel at a vertical distance from the one of the first and second guide systems; and
connecting the guide bodies of the first and second guide systems to each other in a movement-coupled manner via the support, wherein the at least two support segments of the support are releasably connected.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the arrangement has at least one synchronization device, the method further comprising arranging the at least one synchronization device between the guide bodies of the first and second guide systems, wherein at least two synchronization segments of the synchronization device are releasably connected.

15. The method according to claim 13 , further comprising moving the support in the horizontal direction for the installing of the arrangement.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the arrangement has at least one synchronization device, the method further comprising moving the at least one synchronization device in the horizontal direction for the installing of the arrangement.

17. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein all pre-installed components of the arrangement have a maximum length of 1200 mm and a maximum width of 800 mm, with the result that they can be arranged on a Euro pallet for shipping purposes, the pre-installed components including the second guide system and one of the at least two support segments connected to the guide body of the second guide system.

18. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein all pre-installed components of the arrangement have a maximum length of 1200 mm and a maximum width of 800 mm, with the result that they can be arranged on a Euro pallet for shipping purposes, the pre-installed components including one of the at least two support segments pre-installed with the angled plates via rivets.

19. An arrangement for guiding a sliding door or folding-sliding door on a furniture panel, comprising:
a first guide system to be fastened to the furniture panel;
a second guide system to be fastened to the furniture panel at a vertical distance from the first guide system, wherein the first and second guide systems each have at least one guide and a guide body displaceably mounted on the at least one guide; and
a support, to which the sliding door or folding-sliding door is to be fastened and which is connected in a movement-coupled manner to the guide bodies of the first and second guide systems,
wherein the support is composed in the vertical direction of at least two support segments,
wherein the at least two support segments are releasably connectable,
wherein the arrangement has a pull cord device to compensate for a tilting moment of the support or of the sliding door or folding-sliding door arranged thereon about a tilt axis through a righting moment,
wherein the pull cord device comprises at least two pull cords separated from each other,
wherein a first one of the at least two pull cords is arranged between the guide body of the first guide system and at least one end of the at least one guide of the first guide system and is formed without connection to the second guide system,
and wherein a second one of the at least two pull cords is arranged between the guide body of the second guide system and at least one end of the at least one guide of the second guide system and is formed without connection to the first guide system.

20. The arrangement according to claim 19 , wherein each of the guide bodies comprises at least one gripping means for at least one pull cord, and the gripping means of the guide bodies are coupled via at least one synchronization device separated from the support.

21. The arrangement according to claim 20 , wherein the at least one synchronization device is composed in the vertical direction of at least two synchronization segments, wherein the at least two synchronization segments are releasably connectable.
