The Figure 1 shows an exploded view of an adjustment device 6 according to the invention. A mounting device 7 for mounting the adjustment device 6 on a fixed furniture part 3 can be seen. A driver 8a of a coupling device 8 and a securing body 10 of a securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 are formed together and in one piece.

A spring device 14 and a securing element 13 are arranged in the securing body 10, wherein the securing element 13 is subjected to a force by the spring device 14. The securing element 13 also has a ramp 13a.

Furthermore, an actuating element 9 for actuating the adjustment device and a switching element 12 for transferring the securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 from a securing position to a release position can be seen.

The Figure 2a shows a perspective view of an adjusting device 6 according to the invention with a part of a securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 in a securing position, the Figure 2b a corresponding section through the part of the safety device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.

The Figure 3a shows again a perspective view of an adjusting device 6 according to the invention with a part of a securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, but in a release position, the Figure 3b shows the corresponding section through the part of the safety device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.

From the Figures 2a to 3b It can be seen that a securing element 13 in a securing position is subjected to a force by a spring device 14 and is thereby at least partially securing body 10 protrudes. The recess is in a positive connection with a further securing body 11, not shown.

If the switching element 12 is now actuated, i.e. the screw is screwed in, the locking element 13 is moved against the force applied by the spring device 14 in the direction of the locking body 10 and finally sunk into it.

It can also be provided that the securing element 13 is not or only partially recessed in the securing body 10.

The securing element 13 is thus no longer in engagement with the further securing body 11 (not shown), the securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 is in the release position.

The Figure 4a shows a side view of an adjustment device 6 according to the invention and a guide 4 and a further guide 15. It can be seen that the adjustment device 6 is arranged at one end of the guide 4 and the further guide 15. The adjustment device 6 can, however, in principle be arranged at any position along the guide 4 or the further guide 15.

The fastening means 16 for fastening the further guide 15 to the fixed furniture part 3 are not shown. The fastening means 16 can basically be designed in any suitable form, but preferably as screws.

The safety element 13 is completely sunk into the safety body 10.

In the Figure 5d the guide device 5 is displaced relative to the securing body 10 and thus relative to the guide 4 or the further guide 15 and to the fixed furniture part 3. Since the securing device 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 is still in the release position, the guide device 5 can be freely displaced on the guide 4 or the further guide 15.

In Figure 6 a guide arrangement 1 according to the invention is shown. The fixed furniture part 3 is designed in the form of a furniture wall. The movable furniture part 2 is not shown. A compensation device 18 with a cable pull device 18a and a pivot lever mechanism 18b can also be seen.

In addition, an additional guide 19 can be seen, which ensures a more stable guidance of the guide device 5.

The Figure 7 shows a piece of furniture 100 according to the invention with a guide arrangement 1. A fixed furniture part 3 and a movable furniture part 2 in the form of a folding sliding door are visible. The movable furniture part 2 can, however, basically have any suitable shape.
