Abstract
A pull-out guide fitting for a drawer includes a drawer-side pull-out rail and a furniture carcass-side support rail, and possibly a middle rail disposed between the pull-out rail and the support rail. The support rail is mounted by support structure or coupling members on a support bracket that in turn is mounted on a carcass side panel. At the rear of the support bracket is a hook under which the support rail is insertable. The support rail is held in the inserted position by a locking lever that is supported on or in the support rail. The locking lever is acted upon by a spring to pivot to a locked position abutting against a detent edge of the support bracket.
Claims41
In an assembly for use on each of opposite sides of a drawer for guiding sliding movement thereof into and out of a furniture body, said assembly including at least one bracket to be mounted on a respective side of the furniture body, a pull-out guide fitting to be mounted on the drawer and to be mounted on said bracket when the drawer and said fitting are assembled to the furniture body, said fitting including at least a support rail to be fixed relative to the furniture body when the drawer is assembled thereto and a pull-out rail to be fixed relative to the drawer and to be longitudinally slidable relative to said support rail, and a connection structure for, upon assembly of the drawer and said fitting to the furniture body, attaching said support rail to said bracket such that said support rail is fixed relative to the furniture body while said pull-out rail and the drawer are longitudinally slidable relative thereto, the improvement wherein said connection structure comprises:
- a detent edge and a catch on said bracket;
- a housing on said support rail;
- a locking lever mounted on said housing for pivotal movement relative thereto about an axis;
- a first spring mounted to urge said locking lever about said axis in a direction such that, upon assembly of the drawer and said fitting to the furniture body, said locking lever abuts said detent edge and thereby prevents movement in a first direction of said support rail relative to said bracket;
- a catch member mounted on said housing;
- and
- a second spring mounted to urge said catch member relative to said housing in a direction such that, upon assembly of the drawer and said fitting to the furniture body, said catch member abuts said catch and thereby prevents movement of said support rail relative to said bracket in a second direction transverse to said first direction.
In a pull-out guide fitting for use on each of opposite sides of a drawer for guiding sliding movement thereof into and out of a furniture body and to be mounted on the drawer and to at least one bracket to be mounted on a respective side of the furniture body, said fitting including at least a support rail to be fixed relative to the furniture body when the drawer is assembled thereto and a pull-out rail to be fixed relative to the drawer and to be longitudinally slidable relative to said support rail, the improvement comprising:
- a housing on said support rail;
- a locking lever mounted on said housing for pivotal movement relative thereto about an axis;
- a first spring mounted to urge said locking lever about said axis in a direction such that, upon assembly of the drawer and said fitting to the furniture body, said locking lever abuts a detent edge on the bracket and thereby prevents movement in a first direction of said support rail relative to the bracket;
- a catch member mounted on said housing;
- and
- a second spring mounted to urge said catch member relative to said housing in a direction such that, upon assembly of the drawer and said fitting to the furniture body, said catch member abuts a catch on the bracket and thereby prevents movement of said support rail relative to the bracket in a second direction transverse to said first direction.
A bracket to be mounted on a side of a furniture body and to be assembled to a support rail of a pull-out guide fitting for use in guiding sliding movement of a drawer into and out of the furniture body, said bracket comprising:
- a detent edge to be abutted by a locking lever of the fitting to thereby prevent movement in a first direction of the support rail relative to said bracket;
- and
- a catch to be abutted by a catch member of the fitting to thereby prevent movement of the support rail relative to said bracket in a second direction transverse to said first direction.
