DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(24) A piece of furniture 100 with an assembly according to the invention in a perspective view can be seen in FIG. 1. The piece of furniture 100 comprises a stationary furniture part 3 and a movable furniture part 2 in the form of a folding sliding door with one door leaf. In the present embodiment, the door leaf is formed of a frame 2b, not visible, consisting of aluminum profiles as well as a cover 2c made of glass.

(25) Of course, various materials can be used for frame and cover, for example wood, plastic or different metals. It can also be provided that frame and cover consist of the same material or even that frame and cover are formed in one part with each other.

(26) The stationary furniture part 3 further has a cavity 101, which is delimited by side walls 101a. The movable furniture part 2 can be inserted into the cavity 101 at least in areas.

(27) In the present example, a piece of furniture 100 according to the invention has further furniture sections 103 with a folding sliding door 103a and a cavity 103b. These furniture sections 103 can be either ordinary furniture sections or furniture sections with assemblies according to the invention.

(28) In FIG. 1b it can be seen that the movable furniture part 2 has been opened and transferred into the cavity 101. The folding sliding door 103a of the further furniture section 103 is also opened and transferred into the cavity 103b.

(29) FIG. 2a shows a perspective view of a part of a piece of furniture 100 according to the invention. It can be seen that the side walls 101a delimiting the cavity 101 are connected to one another via connecting elements 102. A guide device 6 is hinted at.

(30) FIG. 2b again shows a perspective view of a part of a piece of furniture 100 according to the invention, but without a side wall 101a. Two guide systems 4, 5 for guiding the support 8 on the stationary furniture part 3 can be seen. A movable furniture part 2 is mounted pivotable on the support 8 via hinges 8a.

(31) Further, a compensation device 9, consisting of a pivot lever mechanism 9a and a cable pull device 9b, can be seen. The pivot lever mechanism 9a comprises two pivot levers, wherein the longer of the two pivot levers is arranged on the one hand pivotable on the stationary furniture part and on the other hand pivotable and displaceable substantially centrally on the support. The shorter of the two pivot levers is mounted pivotable in an upper area of the support and substantially centrally on the longer pivot lever.

(32) The cable pull device 9b comprises a cable, which is arranged with its ends in each case on the support. The cable is connected to the stationary furniture part via guide pulleys.

(33) FIG. 3a shows a section of a perspective view of a part of a piece of furniture 100 according to the invention in a first position. It can be seen that the movable furniture part 2 is not yet arranged in the cavity 101. Detail A of FIG. 3a is represented in FIG. 3b.

(34) It is evident that the frame 2b has the groove 6a of the guide device 6. In this embodiment, the groove 6a extends along an entire edge 2a of the frame 2b. In particular, the groove 6a is formed by the frame 2b.

(35) However, it can also be provided that the groove 6a extends only in areas along the edge 2a. Moreover, the groove 6a can also be formed for example by a profile separate from the frame 2b.

(36) Further, a connecting element 102, which connects the side walls 101a, is evident. In the present embodiment, the adjusting device 7 is arranged on the connecting element 102. A guide element 6b arranged on the adjusting device 7 can be adjusted via the setting device 7. In particular, the adjustment of the guide element 6b is effected along a normal to the side walls 101a. The guide element 6b is not yet in engagement with the groove 6a.

(37) It can also be provided that the movable furniture part 2 or the frame 2b can be adjusted by the adjusting device 7 via the guide element 6b and the groove 6a. Further, it is conceivable that the adjusting device 7 is arranged not on the connecting element 102 but rather on the stationary furniture part 3 for example via a separate fastening device.

(38) FIG. 4a shows a section of a perspective view of a part of a piece of furniture 100 according to the invention in a first position. It can be seen that the movable furniture part 2 is arranged in areas in the cavity 101. Detail A of FIG. 4a is represented in FIG. 4b. It can be seen that the guide element 6b is now in engagement with the groove 6a, whereby the movable furniture part 2 is guided directly on the stationary furniture part 3.

(39) For better understanding, FIG. 5a shows a section of a front view of a part of a piece of furniture 100 according to the invention. FIG. 5b again shows detail A from FIG. 5a.

(40) It can be seen that the guide element 6b is in engagement with the groove 6a and thus the movable furniture part 2 is guided directly on the stationary furniture part 2. It also follows from these FIGS. 5a and 5b that an adjustment of the guide element 6b via the adjusting device 7 also results in an adjustment of the position of the movable furniture part 2 in the cavity 101, thus between the side walls 101a. The adjusting device 7 can thus be inserted in order to orient the movable furniture part 2 inside the cavity 101.

(41) FIGS. 6a to 9b show different embodiments for frames 2b according to the invention, wherein FIGS. 6a, 7a, 8a and 9a show a perspective view of the frames 2b and FIGS. 6b, 7b, 8b and 9b show an associated sectional representation in each case.

(42) In the first embodiment according to FIGS. 6a and 6b the frame 2b has the groove 6a. Frame 2b and groove 6a are formed integral with one other. The frame 2b is formed of profiles, for example extruded profiles.

(43) The second embodiment according to FIGS. 7a and 7b correspond substantially to the first, but a cover 2c, for example made of glass, is additionally arranged on the frame 2b.

(44) In the third embodiment according to FIGS. 8a and 8b, the frame 2b has the guide element 6b. Frame 2b and guide element 6b can be formed integral with one other. However, the guide element 6b can also be formed by a separate part, for example made of plastic.

(45) The fourth embodiment according to FIGS. 9a and 9b is a combination of the embodiments one and three. The frame 2b therefore has both a groove 6a and a guide element 6b.

(46) FIG. 10 shows an exploded representation of an adjusting device according to the invention. The adjusting device 7 has a mounting device 7c, which, in the present embodiment, is arranged displaceable in a recess 102a of a connecting element 102. The guide element 6b is mounted on the mounting device 7c. It can also be provided that the groove 6a is mounted on the mounting device 7c.

(47) The mounting device 7c has protrusions 7d, which engage in depressions 102c of the connecting element 102. Thereby, the mounting device 7c on the one hand is held in the connecting element 102 and on the other hand limits a movement of the mounting device 7c.

(48) The adjusting device 7 further has an actuating element 7a. The actuating element 7a is connected to fixing elements 7b and a receiver 7f on the mounting device 7c. Through actuation of the actuating device 7a, the fixing elements 7b are clamped in a clamping area 7e. Since the actuating element 7a is also connected to the mounting device 7c, the mounting device is thus fixed with respect to the connecting element 102. As a result, the guide element 6b is also fixed with respect to the stationary furniture part 3.

(49) To adjust the guide element 6b with respect to the stationary furniture part 3, the actuating element 7a is actuated, whereby the clamping via the fixing elements 7b on the clamping area 7e is released. The mounting device 7c and thus the guide element 6b can now be adjusted. After the adjustment process the mounting device 7c and thus the guide element 6b can be fixed as already described.

(50) The drilled holes 102b in the connecting element 102 serve for fastening the connecting element 102 to the stationary furniture part 2 or to the side walls 101a.

(51) FIGS. 11a to 11b show an adjusting device 7 according to the invention in different positions. In FIG. 11a the adjusting device is maximally adjusted in a first direction, in FIG. 11b the adjusting device is arranged in a middle position and in FIG. 11c the adjusting device is maximally adjusted in a second direction. It can be seen how the guide element 6b is adjusted relative to the connecting element 102 and thus to the stationary furniture part 3.
