## Abstract

A guide rail of a guide system for a push-in element is proposed, wherein the guide rail comprises a rail body and a fastening element, wherein the fastening element is configured in such a way as to fasten the guide rail on a mating portion in the state of use of the guide system, wherein the fastening element is mounted on the rail body and cohesively bonded thereto, and wherein the fastening element has a flat material portion with opposite main sides and with a narrow front edge portion between the main sides. According to the invention, in the state with the fastening element connected to the rail body, the edge portion of the fastening element abuts a surface side on the rail body, which surface side is oriented upright in the state of use of the guide rail.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A guide rail of a guide system for a push-in element, in particular for a push-in element of a furniture item or of a domestic appliance, wherein the guide rail comprises a rail body and a fastening element, wherein the fastening element is configured in such a way as to fasten the guide rail on a mating portion in the state of use of the guide system, wherein the fastening element is mounted on the rail body and connected thereto, and wherein the fastening element has a flat material portion with opposite main sides and with a narrow front edge portion between the main sides, wherein, in the state with the fastening element connected to the rail body, the edge portion of the fastening element abuts a surface side on the rail body, which surface side is oriented upright in the state of use of the guide rail.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The guide rail according to claim 1, wherein the connection of the fastening element to the rail body is provided exclusively by the abutting connection of the edge portion of the fastening element to the surface side on the rail body.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The guide rail according to claim 1, wherein the fastening element is configured in the basic form as a bracket element with two limbs oriented at an angle to each other, wherein one limb has the flat material portion with the opposite main sides and with the narrow edge portion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The guide rail according to claim 1, wherein the edge portion of the fastening element, which abuts the upright surface side on the rail body, is strip-shaped.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The guide rail according to claim 1, wherein the shape of the edge portion is predefined by the shape of the flat material portion of the fastening element adjoining the edge portion.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The guide rail according to claim 1, wherein the flat material portion adjoining the edge portion comprises a region that is depressed and/or elevated in relation to adjacent regions of the flat material portion.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The guide rail according to claim 1, wherein the flat material portion adjoining the edge portion in each case has a lateral region, wherein the two lateral regions lie on a common plane, and a flat material region of elevated configuration is present between the two lateral regions.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The guide rail according to claim 1, wherein the edge profile has mutually offset straight portions, which are connected to each other by a shoulder present between the straight portions.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The guide rail according to claim 1, wherein the rail body is configured as a hollow profile enclosed by wall portions of the rail body.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The guide rail according to claim 1, wherein at least two fastening elements are mounted on the rail body.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The guide rail according to claim 1, wherein the guide rail is formed from a shaped sheet material.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

A guide system for a push-in element, in particular a linear guide system for a push-in element of a furniture item or of a domestic appliance, wherein the guide system comprises a structural unit with precisely two guide rails, wherein the structural unit has a cabinet rail and a push-in element rail which is received displaceably on the cabinet rail and which is configured for connection to the push-in element, wherein a bearing arrangement is present between portions of the cabinet rail and portions of the push-in element rail for the purpose of a relative movement of cabinet rail and push-in element rail, wherein the cabinet rail is configured as a guide rail according to claim 1.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)
