Abstract
An arrangement for guiding a movable furniture part includes a guide rail to be fastened to the fixed furniture part, a guide device mounted movably on the guide rail and in particular can be coupled to the movable furniture part, and a first cable having a first end to be secured to the fixed furniture part and a second end to be coupled to the guide device. A securing device can secure the first cable to the fixed furniture part, and the securing device has a mounting device designed such that the first cable is mounted so as to be movable relative to the fixed furniture part to a limited extent at least in the event of overload.
Claims17
An arrangement for guiding a moveable furniture part relative to a stationary furniture part, the arrangement comprising:
- a guide rail to be fixed to the stationary furniture part, the guide rail having a recess;
- a guide device mounted moveably to the guide rail and configured to be coupled to the moveable furniture part;
- a cable to be fixed to the stationary furniture part and to be coupled to the guide device;
- and
- a fixing device for fixing the cable to the stationary furniture part to transmit a normal operation force between the guide device and the stationary furniture part via the cable, wherein the fixing device includes:
- a mounting device mounted inside the guide rail, and the mounting device being arranged such that the cable passes through the recess of the guide rail, and the mounting device being configured such that the cable has a limited amount of movement relative to the stationary furniture part during an overload situation in which excessive force is applied between the guide device and the stationary furniture part via the cable, the excessive force being greater than the normal operation force;
- an elastic member for carrying forces acting on the cable, the elastic member being in the form of a compression spring, the cable being at least partially arranged within the coils of the compression spring.
