Abstract

A guide assembly includes a guide configured to be arranged on a stationary furniture part, a guide device configured to be connected to the movable furniture part, the guide device being displaceable relative to the guide, and an adjustment device for adjusting the guide relative to the stationary furniture part. The adjustment device includes a mounting device configured to be fixed to the stationary furniture part and a coupling device configured to be coupled to the guide. The preferably pivotally supported actuating element is for adjusting the coupling device relative to the mounting device. A securing device is provided for fixing the guide device relative to the guide in a securing position, and the securing device includes a securing body integrated into the adjustment device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A guide assembly for guiding a movable furniture part relative to a stationary furniture part, the guide assembly comprising:
a guide configured to be arranged on the stationary furniture part,
a guide device configured to be connected to the movable furniture part, the guide device being displaceable relative to the guide, and
an adjustment device for adjusting the guide relative to the stationary furniture part, the adjustment device including a mounting device configured to be fixed to the stationary furniture part and a coupling device configured to be coupled to the guide,
an actuating element for adjusting the coupling device relative to the mounting device, and
a securing device is provided for fixing the guide device relative to the guide in a securing position, the securing device including a securing body integrated into the adjustment device.

2. The guide assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the securing device includes a switch element for transferring the securing device from the securing position into a release position.

3. The guide assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the securing body of the securing device is a first securing body, the securing device further including a second securing body connected to or configured to be connected to the guide device.

4. The guide assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the securing device further includes a securing element for fixing the first securing body and the second securing body relative to one another in the securing position and for releasing in a release position, so that the first securing body and the second securing body are movable relative to one another.

5. The guide assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the securing device further includes a spring element for pre-stressing the securing element in a direction of the securing position.

6. The guide assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the securing element is a pivoting lever, and/or the securing element includes a ramp configured to allow the securing element to be overridden by the guide device.

7. The guide assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling device includes an entrainment member, and the guide includes an abutment configured to be coupled to the entrainment member, or vice versa.

8. The guide assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the guide is a first guide, the guide assembly further comprising a second guide, the second guide being configured to be arranged on the stationary furniture part, wherein the adjustment device is arranged on the second guide.

9. The guide assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a transverse guide arranged transversely to the guide.

10. The guide assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a compensating device for compensating for a tilting moment of a carrier and/or of a movable furniture part arranged on the carrier about a tilting axis.

11. The guide assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the compensating device includes a cable pulling device and/or a pivoting lever mechanism, wherein the pivoting lever mechanism includes at least two pivoting levers hingedly connected to one another.

12. The guide assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the cable pulling device includes a cable, and a first end of the cable is fixed to the carrier.

13. The guide assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the compensating device is at least partially pre-mounted on the carrier in a delivery condition of the guide assembly.

14. The guide assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the securing body and the entrainment member are formed together so as to have a one-piece configuration.

15. The guide assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the securing element is configured to be at least partially countersunk within the securing body in a release position.

16. An item of furniture comprising:
a movable furniture part,
a stationary furniture part, and
the guide assembly according to claim 1 for guiding the movable furniture part relative to the stationary furniture part,
wherein the stationary furniture part has an interior space configured to be at least partially covered by the movable furniture part, and/or the stationary furniture part has a cavity extending in a depth direction of the item of furniture for at least partially receiving the movable furniture part.

17. The guide assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating element is pivotally supported to allow adjustment of the coupling device relative to the mounting device.

18. The guide assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the switch element is pivotally supported and configured as a screw.

19. The guide assembly according to claim 8 , wherein the second guide is to be fixed to the stationary furniture part via a fastener.

20. The guide assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the transverse guide and the guide are connected to or are configured to be connected to one another in a movement-coupled manner.

21. The guide assembly according to claim 12 , wherein the cable pulling device includes precisely one cable.

22. The guide assembly according to claim 13 , wherein the compensating device is entirely pre-mounted on the carrier in the delivery condition of the guide assembly.

23. The guide assembly according to claim 15 , wherein the securing element is configured to be entirely countersunk within the securing body in the release position.
