  • Patent number: 11613922
    Abstract: A guide system includes a first guide rail for guiding a door wing, a second guide rail for guiding the door wing. A carrier can move the door wing relative to the second guide rail in a direction extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the first guide rail. A drive device has a force storage member, and the carrier can be at least partially ejected by the drive device from the retracted position of the carrier by a force of the force storage member. The drive device includes a coupling portion and a control curve, and the coupling portion and the control curve are decoupled over a large part of the movement of the carrier between the extended position and the retracted position. The carrier can be retracted into the retracted position starting from a position immediately before the retracted position when the coupling portion couples with the control curve.

  • Patent number: 11008791
    Abstract: A guide system includes a first guide rail and a second guide rail for guiding furniture parts. The second guide rail extends transversely relative to the first guide rail in a mounted position. A guiding device is to be connected to one of the furniture parts, and is movable relative to the first and second guide rails and can be transferred in a crossing region between the first and second guide rail. The guide system has a drive device with an entrainment member acted upon by a force storage member and configured to be releasably coupled to the guiding device. The entrainment member is locked in a parking position and can be unlocked by an entry of the guiding device into the crossing region. Thus, the entrainment member and the guiding device coupled therewith can be retracted along the second guide rail by a force of the force storage member.
