Abstract
A device for fixing a push element, in particular a drawer box to a rail of a pull-out guide, the device comprising a clamping mechanism with a receptacle, into which a web-shaped holding part can be inserted, wherein a self-locking clamping element is provided at the receptacle, by means of which the holding part is secured in a clamping manner against being pulled out. As a result, a particularly stable fixation of the drawer box to a pull-out guide can be achieved.
Claims18
1:
- A device for fixing a push element, in particular a drawer (4), to a rail (5) of a pull-out guide (3), comprising a clamping mechanism with a receptacle (20), into which a web-shaped holding part (12) can be inserted, wherein a self-locking clamping lever (25) is provided on the receptacle (20), by means of which the holding part (12) is secured in a frictionally engaged manner against pulling out.
2:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein the clamping lever (25) is rotatably mounted about a pivot (24).
3:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein the clamping lever (25) is pretensioned into the locked position.
4:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein means (28) for unlocking the clamping lever (25) are provided, by means of which the frictionally engaged clamping connection of the clamping lever (25) can be released from the holding part (12).
5:
- The device according to claim 4, wherein a linearly movable slide (17) is provided for unlocking the clamping lever (25).
6:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein the clamping lever (25) is designed as a two-armed lever and a first arm rests with a contact surface (26) against the holding part (12), and the second arm is movable via means (28) for unlocking the clamping lever (25).
7:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein the clamping lever (25) rests via a linear contact surface (26) against the holding part (12), which extends parallel to the pivot (24) of the clamping lever (25).
8:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein the holding part (12) can be secured in a stepless manner on the clamping mechanism.
9:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein the holding part (12) as well as the contact surface of the clamping lever (23) resting against the holding part (12) are made of metal.
10:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein the pivot (24) of the clamping lever (25) is arranged in the insertion direction in front of a contact surface (26) of the clamping lever (25) on the holding part (12).
11:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein at least one adjusting device is provided, which moves the drawer (4) relative to the pull-out guide (3) in at least one spatial direction.
12:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein the receptacle (20) is formed on a fastening part (23) on which the clamping lever (25) is rotatably mounted.
13:
- The device according to claim 12, wherein the fastening part (23) is displaceably mounted on or in a housing (15).
14:
- The device according to claim 13, wherein the fastening part (23) is movable relative to the housing (15) via means (19, 40) for lateral adjustment.
15:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein the holding part (12) or the clamping mechanism is arranged on the front-side region of the drawer (4).
16:
- A piece of furniture (1) having a furniture body (2) and at least one drawer (4) which is movably held on the furniture body (2) via two pull-out guides (3), and at least one pull-out guide (3) is connected to the drawer (4) via a device according to claim 1.
17:
- A method for fixing a push element, in particular a drawer (4), to a rail (5) of a pull-out guide (3), comprising a clamping mechanism with a receptacle (20), into which a web-shaped holding part (12) can be inserted, wherein a self-locking clamping lever (25) is provided on the receptacle (20), by means of which the holding part (12) is secured in a frictionally engaged manner against pulling out, wherein the holding part (12), when loaded in the pull-out direction, also increases the generated clamping force of the clamping lever (25) with rising load.
18:
- The method according to claim 17, wherein the clamping force of the clamping lever (25) is released by the actuation of a button or slide (17
