1. Folding door or folding partition, consisting of plate-like door panels (2), which are hingedly connected along adjoining vertical edges (3a) to form pairs of panels (1a), which are hinged along vertical edges (3b) to one another or to vertical supporting battens (4, 6, 8) with support members (5) between the pairs of panels and at the ends of the folding door, which members engage in at least one upper guide rail (1) and are displaceable horizontally in the closure plane, the pairs of panels, on opening, being folded outwardly from the closure plane substantially transversely of the latter and, in the closed position, being held level and under tension in the closure plane by at least one horizontally quided traction cable (22) which is loaded by a tension spring (24) and is fixed to both ends of the folding door, and with guiding elements (18, 20) for guiding the traction cable, wherein the traction cable (22) in the guiding elements (18, 20) is guided so as to protrude inwardly at the inside surface of the folding door or partition and assumes a relatively large spacing from the folding door in the region of the support members (5) and a relatively small spacing from the said door between the support members (5). |
