Description

Method for assembling a guide system for guiding at least one movably mounted door leaf along a furniture wall The present invention relates to a method for assembling a guide system for guiding at least one movably mounted door leaf along a furniture wall, wherein the guide system has at least two guide rails having a longitudinal direction, each with at least one guide device mounted thereon for guiding a support that can be connected to the at least one door leaf, wherein the at least two guide rails are connected to one another via at least one cable of a cable pulling device for compensating a tilting moment of the support about a tilting axis by means of a restoring moment. Furthermore, the invention relates to a guide system for guiding at least one movably mounted door leaf along a furniture wall. Such guide systems are usually used to guide at least one door leaf, which can be inserted in a depth direction of the furniture along a furniture wall into a furniture body or into a receiving compartment located laterally next to the furniture body. A particular challenge when guiding such a door leaf is that the door leaf tends to tilt due to the force of its weight. Such tilting of the door leaf also leads to an inclined position of the support and to tilting of the two guide devices, which can cause the guide devices to jam in their associated guide rails. If this happens, movement of the door leaf is impossible or at least made much more difficult. A primary goal is therefore to ensure that the two guide devices are guided in relation to their associated guide rails in a way that is largely secure against tilting. Guide systems for a door leaf with a cable pull device for stabilizing a door leaf are described, for example, in US 2007/0159037A1 (Fig. 4), in WO 2018/129568 A1 (Fig. 5a), in DE 197 09 461 A1 (Fig. 5), in EP 1 394 349 A1 (Fig. 1) and in EP 0 128 503 A1 (Fig. 3). However, the assembly of the cable pull device is complicated and often only possible by qualified personnel. The object of the present invention is to provide a method and a guide system of the type mentioned at the outset, wherein the assembly of the cable pulling device is simplified. This is achieved according to the invention by the features of patent claims 1 and 9. Further advantageous embodiments of the present invention are defined in the dependent claims. According to the invention, the method comprises the following steps, preferably in the given chronological order: - at least one furniture wall is provided, - an arrangement of the at least two guide rails and the at least one cable arranged therebetween is positioned, preferably laid down, on the at least one furniture wall, - one of the two guide rails is fastened, preferably screwed, to the at least one furniture wall, preferably at one end of the at least one furniture wall, - the other of the two guide rails is moved relative to the guide rail already attached to the at least one guide rail on the furniture wall in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the guide rails, whereby a distance between the two guide rails is increased, - a length of at least one cable section of the cable arranged between the two guide rails is increased when the distance between the two guide rails is increased. The guide system according to the invention comprises an arrangement of at least two guide rails and at least one cable arranged therebetween, wherein the two guide rails are arranged relative to one another at a first distance transverse to the longitudinal direction of the two guide rails in a delivery state of the arrangement and at a second distance which is increased compared to the first distance in a state mounted on the furniture wall, wherein When the two guide rails are transferred from the delivery state to the assembled state, a length of at least one cable section of the cable arranged between the two guide rails can be increased, preferably wherein in the delivery state one end of the at least one cable projects beyond a component of the arrangement, preferably beyond one of the two guide rails, and can be shortened when the two guide rails are transferred from the delivery state to the assembled state. In other words, at least two guide rails are provided, which are connected to one another via at least one cable of the cable pulling device. In a first step, a first guide rail is fastened to a furniture wall. In a further step, the second guide rail is moved relative to the guide pre-fastened to the furniture wall in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the guide rails, wherein a length of the cable can be increased. In a further step, the second guide rail is attached to the furniture wall. In a further step, the cable of the cable pull device is adjusted relative to the Guide rails tensioned. Further details and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the figures. Fig. 1a,
