Abstract
A glass panel system comprising an upper and lower guide track and at least two adjacent glass panels which are movable along the lower and upper guide tracks. The lower guide track is configured to support at least two glass panels. The upper guide track comprises two opposite side walls, an elongated groove and a free space formed between the two side walls. One of the glass panels leans against both the side walls by one guide element and against one of the two side walls and against another glass panel by another guide element. One of the glass panels leans, on one hand, against one of the two side walls and against another glass panel by one guide element and, on the other hand, against the other side wall and against another glass panel by another guide element. The guide elements are arranged in the free space.

A glass panel system comprising
- a lower guide track and an upper guide track which are substantially horizontal and parallel;
- and
- at least two adjacent glass panels which are vertical and connected between the lower and upper guide tracks so that the at least two glass panels are movable along the lower and upper guide tracks in a longitudinal direction of the lower and upper guide tracks, the at least two glass panels including a first glass panel and a second glass panel;
- wherein the lower guide track is configured to support the at least two glass panels which are each configured to follow an own path along the lower guide track;
- wherein the upper guide track comprises two opposite side walls which are parallel and extend in the longitudinal direction of the upper guide track so that an elongated groove is formed between the two side walls, the groove being downwards open and extending in the longitudinal direction of the upper guide track so that a free space is formed in the upper guide track, the free space extending from one of the two side walls to the other side wall;
- wherein an upper part of the first glass panel is provided with a first guide element and a second guide element, spaced from each other and arranged in the free space,
- wherein the first guide element comprises two opposite protrusions which lean against different ones of the two side walls, and
- wherein the second guide element comprises two opposite protrusions, one of which leans against one of the two side walls and the other leans against one of the at least two glass panels,
- wherein the one glass panel is adjacent to the first glass panel and is provided with a guide element arranged in the free space and comprising two opposite protrusions, one of which leans against one of the two side walls and the other leans against the first glass panel.
