Abstract

A guide system includes a guide device for guiding a movable furniture part, the guide device being configured to guide the movable furniture part with a predetermined distance to a furniture wall. The guide system includes a gliding device separate from the guide device, the gliding device to be arranged on the movable furniture part or on the furniture wall such that the movable furniture part and the furniture wall can be brought into a gliding contact with each other via the gliding device when the predetermined distance becomes smaller.

First claim

1 . A guide system for guiding at least one movable furniture part, in particular a door wing, in a direction extending parallel to at least one furniture wall, the guide system comprising:
at least one guide device for guiding the at least one movable furniture part, the guide device being configured to guide the at least one movable furniture part with a predetermined distance to the at least one furniture wall, wherein the guide system includes at least one gliding device separate from the guide device, the at least one gliding device being configured to be arranged on the at least one movable furniture part or on the at least one furniture wall such that the at least one movable furniture part and the at least one furniture wall can be brought into a gliding contact with each other via the gliding device when the predetermined distance becomes smaller.

2 . The guide system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one gliding device, in a condition in which the at least one movable furniture part is guided with the predetermined distance relative to the furniture wall, is without contact to the at least one movable furniture part or to the at least one furniture wall.

3 . The guide system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one gliding device:
includes at least one rolling body configured to glidingly support the movable furniture part, preferably wherein the at least one rolling body is rotatable about a substantially vertically extending rotational axis in a mounted condition, and/or includes at least one rolling body which, in a mounted condition, is partially arranged within a material thickness of the movable furniture part or of the furniture wall, and/or includes at least two rolling bodies which, in a mounted condition, are spaced apart from each other in a height direction, preferably wherein the at least two rolling bodies are rotatably supported about a common axis, and/or includes at least one housing section configured to be at least partially countersunk within a, preferably cylindrical, recess of the movable furniture part or of the furniture wall, preferably wherein the at least one housing section s at least partially cylindrical, and/or includes at least one housing section comprising holding elements at least over a region for fixing the gliding device to the furniture wall or to the movable furniture part in a friction-locked manner, and/or includes at least one fastening location, preferably a hole for the passage of a screw, for fixing the gliding device to the furniture wall or to the movable furniture part, and/or includes at least one centering pin configured to be inserted into a bore of the furniture wall or of the movable furniture part.

4 . The guide system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one guide device includes at least one groove and at least one guide element configured to partially engage into the groove, preferably wherein the groove is arranged on the movable furniture part and the guide element is connected to the furniture wall in a mounted condition.

5 . The guide system according to claim 1 , wherein the guide system or the at least one guide device includes at least one guide rail for guiding the movable furniture part in a direction extending parallel to the furniture wall, wherein at least one running wheel connected to the movable furniture part is displaceable along the at least one guide rail.

6 . The guide system according to claim 1 , wherein the guide system includes at least one guide rail configured to guide the movable furniture part along a front face of a furniture carcass.

7 . The guide system according to claim 1 , wherein the guide system includes at least one adjustment device configured to adjust the at least one movable furniture part with the predetermined distance relative to the furniture wall, preferably wherein the adjustment device includes at least one rotatable adjustment wheel.

8 . The guide system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one movable furniture part is movable by the guide system between a first position, in which the at least one movable furniture part is aligned substantially parallel to the furniture wall, and a second position, in which the at least one movable furniture part is aligned substantially perpendicular to the furniture wall.

9 . The guide system according to claim 1 , wherein the guide system includes at least one carrier configured to pivotally support the movable furniture part, preferably wherein the at least one carrier is movable in a direction extending parallel to at least one furniture wall.

10 . A gliding device for glidingly supporting a movable furniture part, in particular a door wing, on at least one, in particular stationary, furniture wall, comprising the guide system according to claim 1 , wherein the gliding device includes at least one movably-supported rolling body configured to support the movable furniture part, wherein the gliding device includes at least one housing section configured to be at least partially countersunk within a, preferably cylindrical, recess of the movable furniture part or of the furniture wall.

11 . An item of furniture comprising:
a furniture carcass, at least one movable furniture part, in particular a door wing, and the guide system according to claim 1 for guiding the movable furniture part relative to the furniture carcass.

12 . The item of furniture according to claim 11 , wherein the item of furniture includes at least one insertion compartment for at least partially receiving the movable furniture part, preferably wherein:
the at least one insertion compartment extends in a depth direction of the item of furniture, and/or the at least one insertion compartment is defined by two mutually spaced furniture walls connected to each other by at least one spacer member, preferably wherein a guide element of the guide device is arranged on the at least one spacer member, and/or the at least one insertion compartment is defined by two mutually spaced furniture walls, wherein the at least one movable furniture part is movable about a frontal vertical corner of a furniture wall upon a movement into the insertion compartment, and the at least one gliding device is arranged on the other furniture wall, preferably adjacent to a frontal vertical corner of the other furniture wall.

13 . The item of furniture according to claim 11 , wherein the at least one gliding device is arranged approximately at half of a height of the movable furniture part.

14 . The item of furniture according to claim 11 , wherein the item of furniture includes at least two door wings hingedly connected to each other, the at least two door wings being movable by the guide system relative to the furniture carcass between a first position, in which the two door wings are aligned substantially parallel to each other, and at least a second position, in which the two door wings are aligned substantially coplanar to each other.

15 . The item of furniture according to claim 14 , wherein the guide device includes at least one guide element in the form of a rotatable roller, the roller being configured to be arranged between the door wings in the first position of the door wings, wherein a diameter of the rotatable roller is smaller than a distance which adopt the door wings in a parallel position to each other.
