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 for a holding part and a device for depth adjustment for the drawer box, wherein the device for depth adjustment comprises a stop that can be adjusted either on or in the receptacle. As a result, a precise orientation of the drawer box to a pull-out guide can be achieved using simple means.
Claims18
1:
- A device for fixing a push element, in particular a drawer (4), to a rail (5) of a pull-out guide (3), having a clamping mechanism with a receptacle (20) for a holding part (12), and a device for depth adjustment for the drawer (4), wherein the device (11) for depth adjustment has a stop (100) which can be adjusted on or in the receptacle (20).
2:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein the device (11) is infinitely variable for depth adjustment.
3:
- The device according to claim 2, wherein the device for depth adjustment has a thread or an eccentric as a drive means.
4:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein a self-locking clamping element (25) is provided on the receptacle (20), by means of which the holding part (12) is frictionally secured against being pulled out, and the clamping element (25).
5:
- The device according to claim 4, wherein the clamping element is a clamping lever (25).
6:
- The device according to claim 4, wherein the clamping lever (25) is pretensioned into the locked position.
7:
- The device according to claim 4, wherein means (28) for unlocking the clamping lever (25) are provided, by means of which the force-locked connection of the clamping lever (25) can be released from the holding part (12).
8:
- The device according to claim 4, 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).
9:
- The device according to claim 4, 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).
10:
- The device according to claim 4, wherein the surface of the clamping lever (23), which rests against the holding part (12), and the holding part (12) are made of metal.
11:
- The device according to claim 4, wherein the pivot (24) of the clamping lever (25) is arranged on the holding part (12) in the insertion direction in front of a contact surface (26) of the clamping lever (25).
12:
- The device according to claim 4, 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 11, wherein the fastening part (23) is displaceably mounted on or in a housing (15).
14:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein at least one adjusting device is provided which adjusts the drawer (4) laterally or in height relative to the pull-out guide (3).
15:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein the stop (100) of the depth adjustment limits the insertion depth of the clamping mechanism.
16:
- The device according to claim 1, wherein the relative position of the push element to the pull-out guide (3) is adjustable by means of the depth adjustment.
17:
- A piece of furniture (1), comprising 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 the device according to claim 1.
18:
- A method for fixing a push element, in particular a drawer (4), to a rail (5) of a pull-out guide (3) in a furniture part, comprising a clamping mechanism with a receptacle (20) for a holding part (12) and a device for adjusting the depth of the drawer (4), wherein the push element is placed on the pull-out guide (3), the push element is pushed up into the furniture part up to the setting position, the push element is pulled out of the furniture part at least in part, and the depth adjustment is set in such a way that the clamping mechanism cannot be pushed further onto the holding part (12).
