Abstract

A device for guiding a movable furniture part on a furniture carcass. The device includes a carcass rail arranged on the furniture carcass and a movable rail movable in the opening and closing direction relative to the carcass rail. The carcass rail and the movable rail each have a flat running web and load-transmitting rolling elements are each arranged between a running web of the carcass rail and a running web of the movable rail. During relative movement between the rails, the rolling elements move along the running webs. The running webs are uninterrupted, and the rolling elements between the rails are configured such that, in the mounted state, the running web of the movable rail is always oriented obliquely relative to the running web of the carcass rail.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A device for guiding a movable furniture part adapted to be received movably on a furniture carcass by means of the device, the device comprising:
a carcass rail; and
a movable rail,
wherein the carcass rail can be arranged on the furniture carcass,
wherein the movable rail can be moved in opening and closing directions relative to the carcass rail,
wherein the carcass rail and the movable rail each have a flat running web,
wherein load-transmitting rolling elements are each arranged between the running webs of the carcass rail and the movable rail,
wherein, during a relative movement between the movable rail and the carcass rail, the load-transmitting rolling elements can be moved along the running webs of the carcass rail and the movable rail,
wherein the running web of the carcass rail and the running web of the movable rail are uninterrupted, and
wherein the rolling elements between the carcass rail and the movable rail are configured such that, in a mounted state, the running web of the movable rail is always oriented obliquely relative to the horizontally oriented running web of the carcass rail.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a rolling element carriage having rolling element rows, each of the rolling element rows having a plurality of the rolling elements.

3. The device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a diameter of all of the rolling elements of one of the rolling element rows are the same.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a single rolling element carriage having four rolling element rows, wherein two of the rolling element rows are located between the running web of the carcass rail and an upper running web of the movable rail, and two of the rolling element rows are located between the running web of the carcass rail and a lower running web of the movable rail.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a single rolling element carriage having four rolling element rows, wherein two of the rolling element rows are located between the running web of the movable rail and an upper running web of the carcass rail, and two of the rolling element rows are located between the running web of the movable rail and a lower running web of the carcass rail.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising two rolling element carriages each having two rolling element rows.

7. The device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the rolling elements of two of the rolling element rows each have different diameters, and
wherein one of the rolling element rows is arranged between the running web of the carcass rail and the upper running web of the movable rail and one of the rolling element rows is arranged between the running web of the carcass rail and the lower running web of the movable rail.

8. The device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the rolling elements of two of the rolling element rows each have different diameters, and
wherein one of the rolling element rows is arranged between the running web of the movable rail and the upper running web of the carcass rail, and one of the rolling element rows is arranged between the running web of the movable rail and the lower running web of the carcass rail.

9. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the rolling elements of one of the rolling element rows, which is at a front in the opening direction, is different from a diameter of the rolling elements of a rear rolling element row.

10. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a sum of diameters of the rolling elements of the two rolling element rows, which are at a front in the opening direction, is equal to a sum of diameters of the rolling elements of two rear rolling element rows.

11. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the movable rail is a drawer rail.

12. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the movable rail is a central rail.

13. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the device has two of the movable rails, and
wherein a first one of the movable rails is designed as a central rail, and a second one of the movable rails is designed as a drawer rail.

14. The device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein two of the rolling element rows are arranged between a running web of a drawer rail and a running web of a central rail, and
wherein the rolling elements of one of the rolling element rows have a different diameter than that of the rolling elements of the other of the rolling element rows.

15. A piece of furniture having a movable furniture part and a furniture carcass, wherein the movable furniture part can be moved in opening and closing directions, being guided relative to the furniture carcass, by the device as claimed in claim 1 .
