The invention relates to a cassette (1) intended for building up drawer cabinets, a drawer (2) being included in the cassette. In order to carry and guide the drawer (2) inside the cassette (1), a rail (24) made of plastic is arranged on each side of the cassette, said rail being mountable on a lower flange (10) projecting inwards from each side wall (7, 7′) of the cassette. From the top side of the rail, a longitudinal ridge (29) protrudes, which is distanced from an outside pressable against the side wall of the cassette with a distance which in the main corresponds to half the difference between the width of the cassette and the width of the drawer, and the rail at opposite end portions having similar ramp surfaces (35), which are oblique in the direction upwards/inwards from the ends of the rail towards the plane top side of the rail. In this way, one and the same rail is, in a universal way, mountable either to the right or to left in the cassette.
Cassette intended for building up drawer cabinets (1) of the type that includes a rectangular frontal frame (5) from which two side walls (7,7′) extend, which are interconnected via a rear wall (8) and each one of which includes upper and lower flanges (9,10), which extend inwards from the appurtenant side wall, the individual lower flange (10) at a free, inner edge having an upwardly bent border (11), and the cassette accommodating a drawer (2), which comprises a frontal piece (20), a bottom (21), two side pieces (22,22′) and a rear piece (23), characterized in that a rail (24) made of plastic is arranged for carrying and guiding the drawer (2) inside the cassette (1), the width of which rail mainly corresponds to the distance between the individual side wall (7,7′) and the border (11) of the appurtenant lower flange (10) and the length of which is only slightly smaller than the length of the cassette, at the same time as the thickness of the rail is at least somewhat larger than the height of the border (11), that a longitudinal ridge (29) protrudes from a top side (25) of the rail, which ridge is distanced from an outside (27) pressable against the side wall (7,7′) of the cassette with a distance which in the main corresponds to half the difference between the width of the cassette and the width of the drawer enabling the ridge to guide the drawer when the rail is applied to said lower flange (10), and that the rail at opposite end portions has similar ramp surfaces (35), which are oblique in the direction upwards/inwards from the ends (28,28′) of the rail towards the plane top side (25), whereby one and the same rail is mountable either to the right or to left in the cassette while maintaining one and the same function.
Cassette according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that an indication of fracture (39) is formed in the interface between the ridge (29) and the top side (25) of the rail for facilitating, at need, removal of the ridge from the rail.
