The invention refers to a coupling device for a damping element integrated in a pull-out slide set; whereby, it is essential that both a damping device (7) and a coupling device (6) are located between the firmly fixed cabinet rail (2) and the linear-movable drawer rail (5) so that the damping device (7) has at least one cylinder (8) and in it, at least one damped linear-movable piston rod (9) and the damping device (7) is connected by one of its clamping components (8 or 9) with one of the rails (2 or 5) and by its other respective damping part (9 or 8) by means of the coupling device (6) with the other respective rail (5 or 2), can be coupled at times during the closing and opening of the drawer. The advantage is that less manual force is needed for pulling the moveable cabinet component out. Also, it can be more easily adjusted and ensures a longer life span.
Pull-out slide set with rail system (1), containing at least one fixed cabinet rail (2) and one lengthwise movable drawer rail (5) that is situated directly or indirectly by a center rail (4) on it;
Pull-out slide set, according to one of the preceding claims, is characterized by the cylinder component (8) that is connected to the movable drawer rail (5) and the piston rod (9) that is connected to a first part (11, 12) of the coupling device (6), which works together with a second part (10) of the coupling device (6) on the cabinet rail (2) at times positively interlocking and at times releasable.
Pull-out slide set, according to one of the preceding claims, is characterized by the damping device (7) that operates essentially only in the closing direction (15) of the drawer and not at all, or only insignificantly, in the opening direction (17) of the drawer.
Pull-out slide set, according to one of the preceding claims, is characterized by the damper device (7) that is designed as a gas (air/pneumatic) damper and/or liquid damper.
Pull-out slide set with rail system (1), containing at least one firmly fixed cabinet rail (2) and a lengthwise movable drawer rail (5) that is held directly or indirectly by a center rail (4);
