The invention relates to a method for installing a guide assembly for a movable furniture part, which comprises either precisely one door leaf or at least two door leaves connected to each other in an articulated manner, on a furniture wall of a stationary furniture part. The invention furthermore relates to a method for installing a piece of furniture in which the method for installing a guide assembly is used.
Methods are already known from the state of the art. Different guide assemblies are used there depending on whether the movable furniture part to be guided by means of the guide assembly comprises precisely one door leaf or at least two door leaves connected to each other in an articulated manner.
A disadvantage is that the installer has to keep both versions of the guide assembly in stock, unless handling only guide assemblies for one type of the movable furniture part to be guided. Furthermore, the production of the guide assemblies is associated with high costs, as the guide assemblies are formed differently and therefore two production lines are needed.
The object of the present invention is to avoid these disadvantages at least in part and to specify a method that is improved compared with the state of the art for installing a guide assembly for a movable furniture part, which comprises either precisely one door leaf or at least two door leaves connected to each other in an articulated manner, on a furniture wall of a stationary furniture part, which method gives an installer in particular a greater flexibility in the production of pieces of furniture and is associated with lower production costs on the manufacturer's part. Furthermore, a method for installing a piece of furniture in which the improved method for installing a guide assembly is used is to be specified.
In the method according to the invention for installing a guide assembly for a movable furniture part, which comprises either precisely one door leaf or at least two door leaves connected to each other in an articulated manner, on a furniture wall of a stationary furniture part, the method steps are therefore provided, preferably chronological in the specified sequence:
It is thereby possible to assemble the guide assembly from a type of kit, wherein as many common parts as possible are used, which are used both in the case of a guide assembly for a movable furniture part which comprises precisely one door leaf and in the case of a guide assembly for a movable furniture part which comprises at least two door leaves connected to each other in an articulated manner.
The common parts can be manufactured in larger quantities and on the same production line, as a result of which the costs of the production of the guide assembly are lowered.
According to a preferred embodiment of the method, the same first guide rail and/or the same drive device is involved irrespective of whether the movable furniture part comprises precisely one door leaf or at least two door leaves connected to each other in an articulated manner. As a result, the number of common parts can be increased.
It has proved to be advantageous that, in the case that the movable furniture part comprises precisely one door leaf, in a further method step at least one holding device for holding the movable furniture part in an end position relative to the first guide rail on the furniture wall is arranged on the second long side of the first guide rail, preferably wherein the first guide rail and the at least one holding device are connected to each other, particularly preferably in a positive-locking manner and/or displaceably. It is thereby possible to move the movable furniture part into a defined end position relative to the first guide rail by means of the guide assembly, as a result of which the risk of damage originating from a faulty operation of the furniture part is reduced.
As an alternative or supplement, in a further method step a third guide rail for guiding the movable furniture part on the furniture wall is arranged at a distance from the first guide rail. Preferably, the same third guide rail is involved irrespective of whether the movable furniture part comprises precisely one door leaf or at least two door leaves connected to each other in an articulated manner. The movable furniture part can thereby be guided particularly stably on the furniture wall by means of the guide assembly.
A particularly harmonic movement of the movable furniture part to be guided by means of the guide assembly can be produced in that in a further method step at least one damping device for damping a movement of the movable furniture part, preferably into an end position relative to the first guide rail, on the furniture wall is arranged at a distance from the first guide rail. Preferably, the same damping device is involved irrespective of whether the movable furniture part comprises precisely one door leaf or at least two door leaves connected to each other in an articulated manner.
It is favorably suitable that in a further method step at least one carrier for the articulated mounting of the movable furniture part is mounted displaceably on the guide rails provided, preferably wherein the same carrier is involved irrespective of whether the movable furniture part comprises precisely one door leaf or at least two door leaves connected to each other in an articulated manner. The installation is thereby made easier, as the carrier can first be installed on the guide rails provided and then the movable furniture part only has to be connected to the carrier.
In this connection, it has proved to be advantageous that at least one compensation device for compensating for a tilt moment of the at least one carrier or of the movable furniture part arranged thereon about a tilt axis by a restoring moment is arranged on the at least one carrier and in a further method step the at least one compensation device is connected to the furniture wall, preferably to the at least one drive device arranged on the furniture wall. As a result, the risk of a canting of the movable furniture part to be guided by means of the guide assembly can be reduced.
Protection is also sought for a method for installing a piece of furniture with at least one stationary furniture part, at least one movable furniture part, which comprises either precisely one door leaf or at least two door leaves connected to each other in an articulated manner, and at least one guide assembly for the movable furniture part. First, the at least one guide assembly is mounted according to the method according to the invention on a furniture wall of the at least one stationary furniture part, and then the movable furniture part is mounted displaceably at least on the first guide rail, preferably indirectly via at least one carrier.
In an advantageous embodiment, in the case that the movable furniture part comprises at least two door leaves connected to each other in an articulated manner, in a further method step the at least two door leaves are connected to each other in an articulated manner via at least two door hinges.
As an alternative or supplement, in the case that the movable furniture part comprises at least two door leaves connected to each other in an articulated manner, in a further method step at least one transverse guide rail is arranged transverse to the first guide rail on the at least one stationary furniture part and one of the at least two door leaves of the movable furniture part is connected to the at least one transverse guide rail via at least one carriage. The movable furniture part can thereby be guided securely by means of the guide assembly in any position.
In this connection, it has proved to be advantageous that in a further method step the at least one transverse guide rail is covered at least in regions by at least one screen element. An esthetically advantageous appearance of the piece of furniture to be installed can thereby be achieved.
Further details and advantages of the invention are explained in more detail below by means of the description of the figures with reference to the drawings. There are shown in:
