ABSTRACT:
The present invention is drawn to guide structure in a piece of furniture having a group of sliding doors including first and second doors alternately disposed in a coplanar relation when in respective closed positions thereof. Each first door is slidably guided in a lateral direction by 2 first group of guide members via rigid connecting elements connected thereto and sliding elements in sliding engagement with the first group of guide members. Each of the second doors is not only slidably guided in the lateral direction by a second group of guide members but is forwardly shiftable in the piece of furniture via articulating parallelogram linkages connected thereto and sliding elements in sliding engagement with the second group of guide members. A third group of longitudinal guide members are disposed adjacent and extend parallel to the first and second groups of guide members. The third group of longitudinal guide members has an arcuate portion which, when engaged by the sliding unit, positions a respective second door at the closed position thereof. When the sliding unit is moved off of the arcuate portion, the second door is shifted forwardly under the articulation of the parallelogram linkage connected thereto.
