Description

The invention relates to a sliding device for rotatable held separators and one with this Moving device provided piece of furniture after Preamble of claim 1 and 13 respectively.

For separating or designing rooms or for locking pieces of furniture are often made of glass or wooden walls, backdrops, Doors or shutters used below as partitions are designated.

Since a rotatable separating element after opening a Piece of furniture mostly appears disruptive Developed solutions that allow the separation element to be opening the piece of furniture into a provided if necessary delimited by a partition, slotted or pocket-like space.

From [1], DE-PS 1 143 415 is a swivel sliding fitting for one guided in rails at the top and bottom by means of pins Furniture door known, in which a parallel guidance of the furniture door by means of a roller mounted in the furniture housing running rope, the ends of which are interposed a tensioner are attached to handlebars, the top and at the bottom in the axis line the pivot on the door leaf are stored.

When solving [1], according to [2], U.S. patent 5,395,165, depending on the weight of the separating element extensive settings necessary when using two ropes can be reduced. The separator is at the solution of [2] by means of hinges with holding plates connected, which are slidably mounted in rails, which are mounted on a side wall of the associated piece of furniture.

In comparison to the solution of [1], this also makes it possible heavier dividing elements with reduced effort move.

It should be noted that those disclosed in [1] and [2] Solutions, the ends of the parallel ropes are connected to the separating element and when moving therefore always be carried along.

In the in [3], U.S. Patent 4,974,912 solution disclosed the separating element by means of hinges with holding plates connected, which are slidably mounted in telescopic rails, which also on a side wall of the associated piece of furniture are mounted. Two of the parallel guidance of the separating element serving ropes are not with this solution Separating element, but with each other diagonally opposite ends of the telescopic rails connected and via deflection rollers, which are arranged on the holding plates, almost perpendicular from the top to the bottom or from the led lower to upper rail. The two holding plates, which are connected to each other via a connecting plate, therefore always remain during the displacement of the separating element aligned vertically one above the other. The ropes, their ends are fixed, follow in a sideways motion like a snake the pulleys.

In the devices described, this is precise Attitude not only regarding the orientation of the Separator of importance. It is also essential that To compensate for misalignments through the rail guides are, resulting in increased rolling or sliding resistance results. If a low rolling resistance is required, are also high quality and accordingly expensive Rails or telescopic rails needed that regularly are waiting for a correspondingly good storage in it to ensure the intended balls.

The present invention is therefore based on the object an improved sliding device for rotatably held Separating elements and one with this shifting device to provide the provided piece of furniture.

In particular, it should be simple and practical maintenance-free sliding device are created, which an easier shifting of a held separating element allowed.

The sliding device created should also be simple be adjustable and an increased tolerance with respect to Have misalignments.

Furthermore, the displacement device should be universal applicable, i.e. for holding and moving dividers be used for dividing rooms or the Locking pieces of furniture.

This task is done with a shifter and with a piece of furniture provided with this sliding device solved which the features specified in claim 1 and 13 respectively exhibit. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are shown in specified further claims.
