Abstract
A suspension for at least one panel, which is movable along a travel path, is has a guiding profile configured to longitudinally extend along the travel path and to have sidewall sections. The sidewall sections are configured to extend in a direction of the longitudinal extension of the guiding profile and parallel to a vertical extension of the movable panel. In addition, at an end facing away from the movable panel, the sidewall sections are connected to each other by means of a horizontal wall section. At an end facing the guiding profile, the at least one movable panel is received in a guided and supported manner in the guiding profile. A driver member of a linear drive system is operatively connected to the movable panel. In the guiding profile, in a space between the horizontal wall section and the driver member, a reception space is formed, into which a driving profile is fitted and stationarily mounted to the guiding profile, the linear drive system, at least partially, being accommodated in the driving profile and the driving profile being disposed in the guiding profile above a guide of the movable panel.
