Claims17
A device for fixing a drawer (1) on a rail (8) of a pullout guide (6), comprising:
- a clamping mechanism (10, 10′), which comprises a housing (12, 12′, 42) having a support wall facing a receptacle (15), into which an oblong retaining part (11, 11′) that is connectable to the rail is insertable to fix the retaining part (11, 11′) on the housing (12, 12′, 42),
- at least two movable clamping bodies (20) disposed in the receptacle (15), the at least two clamping bodies (20) pressing on one side on the retaining part (11, 11′) and on an opposing side on the support wall (18) to prevent withdrawal of the retaining part (11, 11′) after installation of the retaining part in the receptacle, the support wall (18) being aligned inclined in relation to an insertion direction of the retaining part (11, 11′) so that the receptacle widens in the insertion direction, wherein the at least two movable clamping bodies (20) are pre-tensioned via a spring (21) in a clamping position, so that the retaining part is movable in the insertion direction in the receptacle, but is prevented from withdrawal from the receptacle by the clamping bodies, and
- an unlocking element (50) by means of which the retaining part (11, 11′) is unlockable from a position locked on the housing (42), the unlocking element being configured to push the retaining part out of the receptacle, perpendicular to the insertion direction.
