DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(16) FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of an adjustment device 6 according to the invention. A mounting device 7 for mounting the adjustment device 6 on a stationary furniture part 3 can be seen. An entrainment member 8a of a coupling device 8 and a securing body 10 of a securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 are formed together so as to have a one-piece configuration.

(17) In the securing body 10, a spring element 14 and a securing element 13 are arranged, and the securing element 13 is pressurized by a force of the spring element 14. The securing element 13 further includes a ramp 13a.

(18) Further, an actuating element 9 for actuating the adjustment device 6 and a switch element 12 for transferring the securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 from a securing position into a release position can be seen.

(19) FIG. 2a shows a perspective view of an adjustment device 6 according to the invention with a part of a securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, the part being in a securing position. FIG. 2b shows an associated cross-section of the part of the securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.

(20) FIG. 3a, in turn, shows a perspective view of an adjustment device 6 according to the invention, however, with a part of a securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 being in a release position. FIG. 3b shows the associated cross-section of the part of the securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.

(21) From FIGS. 2a through 3b, it can be seen that a securing element 13, in a securing position, is pressurized with a force of a spring element 14, thereby protruding at least partially over the securing body 10. The recess is thereby in a form-locking connection with a further securing body 11 (not shown).

(22) When now the switch element 12 is actuated, thus the screw turned in, the securing element 13 is movable in a direction of the securing body 10 against the force applied by the spring element 14, and is finally countersunk therein.

(23) It is possible that the securing element 13 is not or is only partially countersinkable within the securing body 10.

(24) The securing element 13 is thus no longer in engagement with the further securing body 11 (not shown). The securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 is located in the release position.

(25) FIG. 4a shows a side view of an adjustment device 6 according to the invention, of a first guide 4 and a second guide 15. It can be seen that the adjustment device 6 is arranged on one end of the first guide 4 and of the second guide 15. However, the adjustment device 6 can basically be arranged on each arbitrary position along the first guide 4 or the second guide 15, respectively.

(26) A fastener for fastening the second guide 15 on the stationary furniture part 3 is not depicted. The fastener can be configured basically in each suitable form, preferably, however, as screws.

(27) FIG. 4b shows the detail A of FIG. 4a with an adjustment device 6 before an adjustment operation. FIG. 4c shows the detail A with an adjustment device 6 after an adjustment operation.

(28) It can be seen that an entrainment member 8a is in a form-locking connection with an abutment 4a of the guide 4, the abutment 4a being in the form of a recess. The coupling device 8 is formed by the abutment 4a and by the entrainment member 8a. The mounting device 7 is non-displaceably arranged on the stationary furniture part 3 and on the second guide 15, respectively.

(29) When the actuating element 9 is actuated, the entrainment member 8a and thus the (first) guide 4 are moved away from the mounting device 7. The guide 4 and the furniture part 2 connected to the guide 4 via the at least one guide device 5 are thus displaced relative to the mounting device 7, to the stationary furniture part 3, and to the second guide 15, respectively. In other words, the actuating element 9 allows adjustment of the coupling device 8 (which is coupled to the guide 4) relative to the mounting device 7

(30) FIG. 5a shows a cross-section of a guide assembly 1 with a securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 according to the invention in a securing position. It can be seen that the securing body 11, with which the securing element 13 is engaged, is connected to a guide device 5. The guide device 5 thereby includes a carrier 20.

(31) The securing body 11 arranged on the at least one guide device 5 can thereby ride over the ramp 13a, thereby causing the securing element 13 to be countersunk within the securing body 10 against the force applied by the spring element 14. After the ramp 13a has been overridden, the securing body 11 comes into engagement with the recess of the securing element 13. The securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 is then located in the securing position.

(32) FIG. 5b shows the detail of FIG. 5a. It can be again seen that the securing element 13 is engaged with the securing body 11 and is held in the securing position by the spring element 14.

(33) In FIG. 5c, the detail A of FIG. 5a is shown. However, the securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 is in a release position. The switch element 12 is thus actuated and holds the securing element 13 in the release position, against the force applied by the spring element 14. The securing element 13 is fully countersunk within the securing body 10.

(34) In FIG. 5d, the guide device 5 is displaced relative to the securing body 10 and thus relative to the first guide 4, to the second guide 15 and to the stationary furniture part 3. As the securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 is further located in the release position, the guide device 5 can be freely displaced on the first guide 4 and on the second guide 15, respectively.

(35) In FIG. 6, a guide assembly 1 according to the invention is shown. The stationary furniture part 3 is thereby in the form of a furniture wall. The movable furniture part 2 is not shown. Further, a compensating device 18 having a cable pulling device 18a and a pivoting lever mechanism 18b can be seen.

(36) Moreover, an additional guide 19 can be seen, the additional guide 19 providing for a more stable guidance of the guide device 5.

(37) FIG. 7 shows an item of furniture 100 according to the invention with a guide assembly 1. A stationary furniture part 3 and a movable furniture part 2 in the form of a folding-sliding door can be seen. However, the movable furniture part 2 can thereby have basically each suitable form

(38) Arranged laterally from the item of furniture 100, a cavity 102 is provided. The cavity 102 is formed by two stationary furniture parts 3 mutually spaced from one another.

(39) In the cavity 102, the movable furniture part 2 in the form of a folding-sliding door can be countersunk in a folded-together condition. When the furniture part 2 in the form of a folding-sliding door is spread apart, the furniture part 2 covers an interior space 101 of the item of furniture 100.

(40) A further part of the item of furniture 100 adjoins the cavity 102, for example a cupboard. When the movable furniture part 2 in the form of a folding-sliding door is in a spreaded-apart position and when the further part of the item of furniture 100 is closed, then the movable furniture part 2 in the form of the folding-sliding door and the further part of the item of furniture 100 form a uniform furniture front.
