Guide system for movably supporting a cover element

A guide system for movably supporting at least one cover element for covering an opening in a stationary structure, the at least one cover element being movable by the guide system between a closed position, in which the cover element covers the opening, and an open position, in which the cover element is spaced apart from the opening substantially orthogonally, wherein the guide system comprises:

• at least two, preferably more than two, hinges, each of the hinges including a first fitting portion to be arranged on the stationary structure, a second fitting portion configured to be arranged on the at least one cover element, and a hinge lever mechanism configured to move the two fitting portions substantially linearly between a first end position corresponding to a closed position of the cover element, and a second end position corresponding to an open position of the cover element, and
• a synchronization device for synchronizing a movement of the fitting portions of the at least two hinges.
