Abstract

An assembly for guiding a movable furniture part includes a guide system to be fastened to a stationary furniture part, and a support on which a movable furniture part can be pivotably mounted and which can be or is movably connected to the guide system in order to indirectly guide the movable furniture part on the stationary furniture part. The movable furniture part includes a guide device separate from the guide system, for directly guiding the movable furniture part on the stationary furniture part.

a first guide system to be fastened to the stationary furniture part; and

a support on which the movable furniture part is mounted so as to be pivotable, the support being connected movably to the first guide system for indirectly engaging the movable furniture part so as to guide the movable furniture part on the stationary furniture part,

wherein the movable furniture part has a guide device, which is separate from the first guide system, for directly engaging the movable furniture part so as to guide the movable furniture part on the stationary furniture part,

wherein the assembly further comprises an adjusting device configured to be actuated in a direction parallel to a longitudinal extent of the first guide system, and by means of which at least one part of the guide device is adjustable relative to the stationary furniture part in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the first guide system,

wherein the guide device comprises a groove and a guide element which engages with the groove, and

wherein the groove is arranged on the movable furniture part and the guide element is configured to be arranged on the stationary furniture part.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting device has an actuating element by which the adjusting device is actuatable.

3. The assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the actuating element, by which the adjusting device is actuatable, is in the form of a screw.

4. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting device has a mounting device on which at least one part of the guide device is mounted.

9. The assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a second guide system.

10. A piece of furniture comprising:

a stationary furniture part; and

the assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the assembly is configured to guide the movable furniture part on the stationary furniture part.

11. The piece of furniture according to claim 10 , wherein the piece of furniture comprises a shaft-like cavity, wherein the shaft-like cavity is formed by at least two side walls which are connected to one another via at least one connecting element, wherein at least one part of the guide device is arranged or formed on or in the at least one connecting element.

12. The piece of furniture according to claim 11 , wherein the at least two side walls are parallel to each other.

13. The piece of furniture according to claim 10 , wherein the movable furniture part is formed by a sliding door or folding sliding door.

15. The piece of furniture according to claim 10 , wherein the movable furniture part comprises a frame or a cover.

16. The piece of furniture according to claim 15 , wherein the movable furniture part comprises the frame, and the frame comprises an aluminum profile, and wherein the aluminum profile has the groove or the guide element.

17. The piece of furniture according to claim 16 , wherein the groove or the guide element is formed integrally with the aluminum profile.

18. The piece of furniture according to claim 15 , wherein

the movable furniture part comprises the frame, and the frame comprises an aluminum profile, or

the movable furniture part comprises the cover, and the cover is made of glass.

19. The piece of furniture according to claim 10 , wherein the piece of furniture comprises a shaft-like cavity in which the movable furniture part can be arranged.

20. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the movable furniture part is a sliding door or folding sliding door, and the stationary furniture part is a furniture carcass,

wherein the groove extends over an entire length of an edge of the movable furniture part.
