FIG. 5 is a view of the furniture and guide assembly corresponding to FIG. 4 in a fully open state. FIG. 6 is a view of the furniture and guide assembly corresponding to FIG. 5 in a fully open state. FIG. 7 is a view of the furniture and guide assembly corresponding to FIG. 6 in a fully open state.

In the following description of the drawings, terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc. relate exclusively to the exemplary view and position of the guide assembly selected in the drawing.
These terms are not to be understood in a limited way, in other words, references by these terms may vary depending on various operating positions, mirror-symmetrical interpretations, and the like.

In FIG. 1, furniture having sliding doors 2, 3 is indicated by reference numeral 1 as a whole.
These sliding doors are in a closed position, and for example, furniture 1 which is in the form of a sliding door cabinet is closed in a state where they are in the same plane.

  In order to open the furniture 1 shown in FIG. 1, one of the sliding doors 2 and 3 is first closed from a plane common to the other sliding doors 2 and 3 to another plane parallel thereto. Then, it turns or moves out of position, and is then pushed in front of the second sliding doors 2 and 3 parallel to the front of the furniture 1.

  Obviously, the furniture 1 may be configured with only one sliding door 2,3.

The slide doors 2 and 3 are attached to the main body 4 of the furniture 1 by a guide assembly, as shown in FIGS.
The guide assembly includes a door connection 7 attached to the sliding doors 2 and 3.
The door connection portion 7 is attached to the inner surface of the furniture 1, that is, the inner surface of the slide doors 2 and 3 facing the storage space (for example, screwed).

A support lever 6 is attached to the door connecting portion 7. The support lever 6 preferably extends over the entire width of the furniture 1 and is attached to the main body upper surface 41 or the main body bottom surface 42 of the main body 4 of the furniture 1. It is arranged on the rail 5 so as to be movable.
For this reason, it is preferable that a moving wheel 62 that is opposed to the support lever 6 in a pair and moves in the guide groove 51 of the guide rail 5 is attached.
The term guide rail should be understood as widely as possible.
According to the present application, guide rails include not only protruding rails but also grooves and other guide tracks.
In other embodiments of the guide rail, it is possible to use only one, or more than two moving wheels.
In the guide fitting, the at least one guide component may be configured as a slider, a roller, or the like.

The door connection 7 is composed of several parts, as shown in particular detail in FIGS.
The first door connection component 71 may be fixedly attached to the slide doors 2 and 3. For example, the first door connection component 71 is attached to the inner surface of the slide doors 2 and 3 facing the storage space of the furniture 1 by screws 77. It is screwed.

The second door connection part 72 connected to the support lever 6 is connected to the first door connection part 71 so as to be movable in the displacement direction X of the slide doors 2 and 3.
Thereby, when the sliding doors 2 and 3 are displaced, the supporting lever 6 hits the further sliding door or the side walls 43 and 44 of the furniture body 4, and the further sliding door 2, When the support lever 6 is moved along the guide rail 5, the slide doors 2 and 3 are made up of a plurality of parts, that is, the door connecting part 7 made up of two parts. It can be ensured that it can move in the displacement direction X of 3 by an additional distance S.

The first door connection component 71 and the second door connection component 72 are preferably configured as a drawer-type guide component that can move linearly with respect to each other.
This ability to move linearly may be realized by a slider, a roller, a ball or the like.

The support lever 6 is connected to an end portion 61 close to the door connection portion 7 by a connection component 78 in the second door connection component 72 that receives the end portion 61 of the support lever.
In the illustrated embodiment, the connection part 78 is configured as a substantially U-shaped metal plate part and surrounds the end 61 of the support lever 6 from three sides, thereby supporting the door connection part 7 and the support part 7. A stable connection with the lever 6 is ensured.

The connection component 78 includes a slot as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
For this reason, the guide assembly toward the furniture can be used for various installation widths E.
This flexibility may be realized in other ways, for example by the support lever having several fixing recesses.

2 to 6 show the initial positions of the door connecting parts 71 and 72 with respect to each other, and the door connecting parts 71 and 72 move to the maximum range in this case.
The door connecting parts 71 and 72 are pushed and released in the sliding direction of the sliding doors 2 and 3 only at the positions shown in FIGS.
In this case, since the slide doors 2 and 3 are sufficiently opened, it is possible to access the storage space for the furniture 1 over the entire width of the moved slide doors 2 and 3.

The door connection parts 71, 72 are preferably springs in order to maintain the retracted position of the door connection parts 71, 72 relative to their maximum extent before moving to the fully open end position. They are connected to each other via a restoration component 74 configured as a component.
In this case, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 as an example, the restoration component 74 holds the relative positions of the door connection components 71 and 72 without applying a force from the outside.

  The restoring part 74, shown here as a tension spring, has a first end of the holding part 76 in the first door connection part 71 and a second end of the holding part 75 in the second door connection part 72. The movement of the two door connecting parts 71, 72 sliding away takes place against the spring force of the restoring part 74 configured as a tension spring.

  2 and 3, on the one hand holding the door connection 7 in the closed position, and on the other hand, fully pulled out as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 In order to hold the door connection 7 in position, the door connection parts 71, 72 may be fixed relative to each other in each of the above positions, in other words, in these positions, for example limit stops ( It may be specifically latched or fixed by an end position component, such as a limit stop.

  The distance S at which the door connecting parts 71 and 72 can move relative to each other is connected to the first door connecting part 71 in the displacement direction X, which is shorter than the maximum moving distance T of the support lever 6 along the guide rail 5. It corresponds at least to the width B of the sliding doors 2 and 3.

In particular, the distance S of the slide doors 2 and 3 that can be displaced only by the door connecting parts 71 and 72 corresponds precisely to the above distance.
Even if the distance S reaches an obstacle to the movement of the support lever 6, the area of the storage space of the furniture 1 covered by the slide doors 2 and 3 in the closed state is accessible over the entire width. Is sufficient to allow the sliding doors 2 and 3 to move.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the guide rail 5 extends at one end portion by an extension part 8 fixed to the carriage 9.
Since the carriage 9 is movable perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 5, the slide doors 2 and 3 can be pulled toward the front side of the main body 4 of the furniture 1.
