Abstract
A pullout guide comprises a stationary guide rail which can be fixed to a body, a middle rail which is movably held on the guide rail via first rolling elements arranged in a first rolling element cage, a running rail which is movably held on the middle rail via second rolling elements arranged in a second rolling element cage, and an opening on the middle rail for a support element, which, in a retracted position of the pullout guide, supports the running rail on the guide rail, the support element being mounted on the middle rail such that it can be lowered. In this case, the opening for the support element can be passed over by at least one second rolling element. This allows the support of the running rail to be optimized.
