## Abstract

The displacement device includes a guide carriage that is slidable along a running rail and that is pivotally connectable to a first separation element. The guide carriage includes a carriage body with a carriage head and a carriage foot, which carriage head and carriage foot are connected with one another by a connecting beam, wherein the carriage head holds at least one support wheel and at least two guide wheels and wherein the carriage foot is connected torque proof with a first end piece of a hinge lever, whose second end piece is pivotally held by a hinge shaft that is connectable to a sidewall of the first separation element.

## Claims

### Claim 1

Displacement device with a guide carriage that is slidable along a running rail and that is pivotally connectable to a first separation element, wherein the guide carriage comprises a carriage body with a carriage head and a carriage foot, which carriage head and carriage foot are connected with one another by a connecting beam, wherein the carriage head holds at least one support wheel and at least two guide wheels and wherein the carriage foot is connected torque proof with a first end piece of a hinge lever, whose second end piece is pivotally held by a hinge shaft that is connectable to a sidewall of the first separation element.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

Displacement device according to claim 1, wherein the guide hinge comprises a hinge cup that is mounted on the front sided edge of the first separation element and that is provided with a cup recess, which is traversed by the hinge lever when it is turned to the outside.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

Displacement device according to claim 2, wherein the hinge lever can be turned by at least 180° relative to the hinge cup that is recessed in the backside of the first separation element, so that the first separation element can be aligned in parallel to the running rail either with its front side or its backside facing the running rail.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

Displacement device according to claim 1, wherein the second end piece of the hinge lever comprises a holding sleeve that is held slidably by the hinge shaft, and that the hinge lever, when it is fully turned against the hinge cup, is seated without play within the hinge cup or within a cup insert provided in the hinge cup.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

Displacement device according to claim 4, wherein the cup insert comprises a cup recess that is adjoining the cup recess and that hold the hinge lever without play in the terminal position.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

Displacement device according to claim 1, wherein the carriage foot comprises a bolt chamber, that is provided on the upper side with a bearing seat having a front sided recess, that is provided with a front sided chamber opening and that is provided on the lower side with a chamber base having a base opening and that the first end piece of the hinge lever comprises a lever block with a threaded bore, in which a bolt shaft of a mounting bolt is pivotally held, which mounting bolt is insertable through the chamber opening into the bolt chamber and is held pivotally and adjustable in the bearing seat and is secured against automatic disconnection.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

Displacement device according to claim 6, wherein the mounting bolt comprises a bolt head seated in the bearing seat of the bolt chamber and a cylindrical bolt foot that is pivotally held in the base opening of the bolt chamber and that exhibits a coupling element that is coupleable with a tool.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

Displacement device according to claim 1, wherein the displacement device comprises a running rail having a rail foot and a rail head that adjoin the backside of a rail plate, that the support wheel is seated on the horizontally aligned rail foot, that the guide wheels are guided in the rail head, and that the carriage body is holding the hinge lever in such a way that the hinge lever holds the guide hinge on the front side or the backside of the rail plate.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

Displacement device according to claim 1, wherein the running rail comprises a first rail section and a second rail section that is inclined or aligned perpendicularly to the first rail section, and wherein the displacement device is arranged leading the first separation element within the first rail section when moving towards the first of the running rail and within the second rail section when moving towards the second end of the running rail.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

Functional entity with at least a first and a second separation element that are pivotally connected with one another, and of which the first separation element is connected on the front side with a displacement device according to claim 1, that is slidable along a running rail having a first rail section aligned in parallel to the front side of the functional entity and having a second rail section arranged within a door compartment into which the two separation elements can be moved.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

Functional entity according to claim 11, wherein the second separation element is held with a mounting bracket, which is held vertically aligned by an auxiliary rail and/or by a scissor assembly and which is movable into the door compartment and that the running rail is connected to a cover plate of the functional entity.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

Functional entity according to claim 12, wherein the two separation elements are connected with one another by hinges that are mounted in pairs on the edges of the separation elements and that the hinge levers of each pair of hinges are connected by an articulated shaft.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

Functional entity according to claim 13, wherein at least one clamp is attached to the articulated shaft, that engages in a form locking manner into an intermediate bracket, which closes the gap between the two separation elements.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

Functional entity according to claim 11 provided in the embodiment of a wardrobe, a cupboard or a building unit, which building unit comprises a door compartment.
