Abstract
A pull-out rack for being mounted in a cabinet having a bottom wall, a pair of side walls and a front frame enclosing a front opening and protruding inwards from the side walls comprises a pull-out rail, a rack body and a pair of stabilizers. The rack body is mounted to the bottom wall via the pull-out rail, is configured to pass through the front opening, and has a vertically oriented back panel with an upper end. Each stabilizer of the pair of stabilizers has a mounting end and a moving contact end, and each stabilizer of the pair of stabilizers is designed to be mounted to the upper end of the back panel of the rack body with its mounting end in a working position in which its moving contact end laterally protrudes from the back panel and contacts one of the side walls of the cabinet.

A pull-out rack for being mounted in a cabinet having a bottom wall, a pair of side walls and a front frame enclosing a front opening and protruding inwards from the side walls, the pull-out rack comprising,
- at least one pull-out rail having a fixed rail and a guided rail, wherein the fixed rail is configured to be mounted to the bottom wall of the cabinet, and wherein the guided rail is linearly guided in a pull-out direction with respect to the fixed rail,
- a rack body mounted to the guided rail of the at least one pull-out rail, configured to pass through the front opening, and having a vertically oriented back panel which has an upper end, and
- a pair of stabilizers, wherein each stabilizer of the pair of stabilizers has a mounting end and a moving contact end, and wherein each stabilizer of the pair of stabilizers is configured to be mounted to the upper end of the back panel of the rack body with its mounting end being in a working position in which its moving contact end laterally protrudes from the back panel and contacts one of the side walls of the cabinet, wherein each stabilizer of the pair of stabilizers comprises:
- a stabilizer arm extending from its mounting end towards its moving contact end, and
- a roller mounted to the stabilizer arm at the moving contact end such as to freely rotate about a vertical axis and to contact the side wall in the working position of the stabilizer.
A pull-out rack for being mounted in a cabinet having a bottom wall, a pair of side walls and a front frame enclosing a front opening and protruding inwards from the side walls, the pull-out rack comprising,
- at least one pull-out rail having a fixed rail and a guided rail, wherein the fixed rail is configured to be mounted to the bottom wall of the cabinet, and wherein the guided rail is linearly guided in a pull-out direction with respect to the fixed rail,
- a rack body mounted to the guided rail of the at least one pull-out rail, configured to pass through the front opening, and having a vertically oriented back panel which has an upper end, and
- a pair of stabilizers, wherein each stabilizer of the pair of stabilizers has a mounting end and a moving contact end, and wherein each stabilizer of the pair of stabilizers is configured to be mounted to the upper end of the back panel of the rack body with its mounting end being in a working position in which its moving contact end laterally protrudes from the back panel and contacts one of the side walls of the cabinet, wherein each stabilizer of the pair of stabilizers comprises an impact damper
- which is arranged at a front side of the stabilizer laterally protruding from the back panel in the working position of the stabilizer, and
- which is configured to dampen an impact of the stabilizer on the front frame.
A pull-out rack for being mounted in a cabinet having a bottom wall, a pair of side walls and a front frame enclosing a front opening and protruding inwards from the side walls, the pull-out rack comprising,
- at least one pull-out rail having a fixed rail and a guided rail, wherein the fixed rail is configured to be mounted to the bottom wall of the cabinet, and wherein the guided rail is linearly guided in a pull-out direction with respect to the fixed rail,
- a rack body mounted to the guided rail of the at least one pull-out rail, configured to pass through the front opening, and having a vertically oriented back panel which has an upper end, and
- a pair of stabilizers, wherein each stabilizer of the pair of stabilizers has a mounting end and a moving contact end, and wherein each stabilizer of the pair of stabilizers is configured to be mounted to the upper end of the back panel of the rack body with its mounting end being in a working position in which its moving contact end laterally protrudes from the back panel and contacts one of the side walls of the cabinet, wherein:
- the rack body further comprises a vertically oriented front panel arranged at a horizontal distance to the back panel,
- the pull-out rack further comprises two upper front adapters and two lower front adapters,
- the front panel, at its front side, comprises at least one laterally extending upper groove and at least one laterally extending lower groove, and a pair of laterally elongated upper through-holes at a ground of the at least one upper groove and a pair of laterally elongated lower through-holes at a ground of the at least one lower groove,
- the at least one upper groove and the pair of laterally elongated upper through-holes are configured to receive parts of the two upper front adapters and to linearly guide the two upper front adapters in a lateral direction,
- the at least one lower groove and the pair of laterally elongated lower through-holes are configured to receive parts of the two lower front adapters and to linearly guide the two lower front adapters in a lateral direction, and
- each of the upper and the lower front adapters is configured to be fixed to the front panel in a laterally adjusted position by means of one or more fixing screws whose heads abut against the back side of the front panel.
A pull-out rack for being mounted in a cabinet having a bottom wall, a pair of side walls and a front frame enclosing a front opening and protruding inwards from the side walls, the pull-out rack comprising,
- at least one pull-out rail having a fixed rail and a guided rail, wherein the fixed rail is configured to be mounted to the bottom wall of the cabinet, and wherein the guided rail is linearly guided in a pull-out direction with respect to the fixed rail,
- a rack body mounted to the guided rail of the at least one pull-out rail, configured to pass through the front opening, and having a vertically oriented back panel which has an upper end, and
- a pair of stabilizers, wherein each stabilizer of the pair of stabilizers has a mounting end and a moving contact end, and wherein each stabilizer of the pair of stabilizers is configured to be mounted to the upper end of the back panel of the rack body with its mounting end being in a working position in which its moving contact end laterally protrudes from the back panel and contacts one of the side walls of the cabinet, wherein:
- the rack body further comprises a vertically oriented front panel arranged at a horizontal distance to the back panel,
- the pull-out rack;
- further comprises:
- at least one shelf having a back end and a front end,
- a pair of back supporting pins fitting into blind holes in a front side of the back panel and vertically supporting the at least one shelf at its back end, and
