## Abstract

A drawer arrangement includes a drawer side wall to be connected to a drawer rail of a drawer pull-out guide, the drawer side wall having a support portion for supporting a drawer bottom, and a drawer pull-out guide having a carcass rail to be fixed to a furniture carcass, a drawer rail to be connected to the drawer side wall, and a central rail displaceable between the carcass rail and the drawer rail. The central rail has a side limb and a transverse limb connected therewith. In the mounted position, the side limb of the central rail, at least over a region, is arranged laterally besides the support portion for the drawer bottom. The transverse limb of the central rail and the carcass rail in the mounted position protrude at least partially below the support portion for the drawer bottom.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A drawer arrangement, comprising:
a drawer side wall, the drawer side wall having a support portion for supporting a drawer bottom; and
a drawer pull-out guide having a carcass rail to be fixed to a furniture carcass, a drawer rail connected to the drawer side wall, and a central rail displaceable between the carcass rail and the drawer rail, the central rail having a side limb and a transverse limb connected therewith;
wherein at least a portion of the side limb of the central rail is arranged laterally besides the support portion,
wherein the transverse limb of the central rail and the carcass rail protrude at least partially below the support portion, and
wherein the transverse limb of the central rail has a free end region supported on the carcass rail by at least one rolling body.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The drawer arrangement according to claim 1, wherein a ratio of a height of the side limb relative to a width of the transverse limb is between 1:0.4 and 1:1.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The drawer arrangement according to claim 2, wherein the ratio is between 1:0.5 and 1:0.7.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The drawer arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the side limb and the transverse limb have a one-piece configuration.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The drawer arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the central rail has a first running limb protruding from the side limb of the central rail, the drawer arrangement further comprising a first running carriage configured to run along the first running limb.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The drawer arrangement according to claim 5, wherein the first running carriage has rolling bodies cooperating with both the first running limb of the side limb and with a running surface of the drawer rail.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The drawer arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the free end region of the transverse limb has a bent edge supported relative to the carcass rail by the at least one rolling body.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The drawer arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the at least one rolling body is arranged in a second running carriage configured to run along the transverse limb.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The drawer arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the support portion for supporting the drawer bottom is an L-shaped limb of the drawer side wall.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

A drawer comprising a drawer arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the drawer further comprises a drawer bottom supported on the support portion of the drawer side wall.

### Claim 11

A drawer arrangement comprising:
a drawer side wall, the drawer side wall having a support portion for supporting a drawer bottom; and
a drawer pull-out guide having a carcass rail to be fixed to a furniture carcass, a drawer rail connected to the drawer side wall, and a central rail displaceable between the carcass rail and the drawer rail, the central rail having a side limb and a transverse limb connected therewith;
wherein at least a portion of the side limb of the central rail is arranged laterally besides the support portion,
wherein the transverse limb of the central rail and the carcass rail protrude at least partially below the support portion,
wherein the central rail has a first running limb protruding from the side limb of the central rail, the drawer arrangement further comprising a first running carriage configured to run along the first running limb, and
wherein the first running limb of the central rail is arranged above the support portion.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

A drawer having a drawer arrangement according to claim 11, wherein the first running limb protrudes at a right angle from the side limb of the central rail.

### Claim 13

A drawer arrangement comprising:
a drawer side wall, the drawer side wall having a support portion for supporting a drawer bottom; and
a drawer pull-out guide having a carcass rail to be fixed to a furniture carcass, a drawer rail connected to the drawer side wall, and a central rail displaceable between the carcass rail and the drawer rail, the central rail having a side limb and a transverse limb connected therewith;
wherein at least a portion of the side limb of the central rail is arranged laterally besides the support portion,
wherein the transverse limb of the central rail and the carcass rail protrude at least partially below the support portion,
wherein the central rail has a first running limb protruding from the side limb of the central rail, the drawer arrangement further comprising a first running carriage configured to run along the first running limb, and
wherein the drawer bottom to be arranged on the support portion has a surface provided for storing items, and the first running limb is located at a height equal to or above the surface of the drawer bottom.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)
