Abstract
A drawer has a device for securing a movable rail of a pullout guide on the drawer, and a support arranged on a side panel, on which a U-shaped holder is provided. The movable rail is insertable with a front end section into the U-shaped holder and the movable rail is lockable on the support and/or holder via at least one catch, which engages through at least one opening on the movable rail, wherein the drawer has a front panel. A method for installing a drawer on a movable rail of a pullout guide uses the device.

A drawer (1) comprising:
- a device for securing a movable rail (20) of a pullout guide on the drawer (1), and
- a support (5) arranged on the drawer (1), on which a U-shaped holder (6) is provided,
- wherein the movable rail (20) is insertable with a front end section into the U-shaped holder (6) and the movable rail (20) is lockable via at least one catch (8, 8′) on the support (5) and/or holder (6), which engages through at least one opening (21, 22) on the movable rail (20), wherein the drawer (1) has a front panel (3), wherein the holder (6) is supported indirectly or directly on the front panel (3) with a support surface (14), wherein the U-shaped holder (6) has a bendable arm (16), on which the support surface (14) is formed on a side facing toward the front panel (3), and wherein the support surface (14) protrudes from the holder (6) towards a front side and is configured to be pressed against by the front panel (3) or a component connected to the front panel in order to pivot and pre-tension the bendable arm (16) against the movable rail (20).
A method for installing a drawer (1) on a movable rail (20) of a pullout guide, comprising the following steps:
- placing the drawer (1) on two movable rails (20) of two pullout guides;
- displacing the drawer (1) along the movable rails (20), wherein a front end section of each of the rails (20) is inserted into a U-shaped holder (6) and a bendable arm (16) on the U-shaped holder (6) is spread out, and
- further displacing the drawer (1) until a movable catch (8, 8′) locks the movable rail (20) on the catch (8, 8′) and a support surface (14) on the holder (6) is supported indirectly or directly on a front panel (3) of the drawer,
- wherein the support surface (14) protrudes from the holder (6) towards a front side and is pressed against by the front panel (3) or a component connected to the front panel in order to pivot and pre-tension the bendable arm (16) against the movable rail (20).
