  • Patent number: 12037827
    Abstract: A guide apparatus for guiding a furniture part, in particular a sliding door or folding-sliding-door, including a guide rail and a chassis which can be connected to the furniture part and which can travel on the guide rail. The chassis has a load-bearing roller, mounted about a first rotation axis, for supporting the weight of the furniture part and a supporting roller for laterally guiding the furniture part. The supporting roller is rotatably mounted about a second rotation axis which is oriented transverse to the first rotation axis, and a support apparatus is separate from the at least one supporting roller, and is designed to relieve the supporting roller in an end position of the at least one guide rail against a transverse force acting laterally, i.e. substantially parallel to the first rotation axis.
