Abstract
An apparatus for securing a front panel of a drawer to a drawer frame includes a holding part to be secured to the front panel and a support part to be secured to a drawer frame, one such assembly being provided for each side of the drawer. The holding part can be coupled to the support part, and a spring, preferably a helical spring, acts in the longitudinal direction of the drawer frame between the support part and the holding part. When the front panel is mounted, a limited relative movement of the holding part with respect to the support part in opposition to the spring action is possible.

An apparatus for securing a front panel of a drawer to a drawer frame, said apparatus comprising:
- a holding part to be connected to the front panel;
- a support part to be connected to the drawer frame, said support part having an angled tab;
- said holding part and said support part being capable of being coupled together in engagement;
- a spring supported against said angled tab of said support part and a web of said holding part and urging said support part and said holding part relative to each other in a direction to be longitudinally of the drawer frame;
- and
- said holding part, when said holding part and said support part are coupled together and when the front panel is connected to said holding part, being movable to a limited extent relative to said support part in opposition to the urging of said spring.
An apparatus for securing a front panel of a drawer to a drawer frame, said apparatus comprising:
- a holding part to be connected to the front panel, said holding part having at least one hook;
- a support part to be connected to the drawer frame, said support part having at least one counter hook;
- said hook of said holding part being suspendable over said counter hook of said support part;
- a ratchet tiltably mounted about a horizontal axis on said support part, said ratchet having a lug engageable against a stop face of said hook on said holding part;
- and
- a spring engaged with said support part and operating to urge said support part in a direction to press said lug against said stop face, said holding part, when said holding part and said support part are coupled together and when the front panel is connected to said holding part, being movable to a limited extent relative to a portion of said support part in opposition to the urging of said spring.
An apparatus for securing a front panel of a drawer to a drawer frame, said apparatus comprising:
- a holding part to be connected to the front panel;
- a support part to be connected to the drawer frame, said support part having a lower horizontal web and an upper horizontal web spaced above said lower horizontal web, said lower and upper horizontal webs defining a horizontal guide;
- said holding part being insertable horizontally into said horizontal guide of said support part;
- a tilt lever mounted about a horizontal axis on said support part and tiltable about said axis to a position coupling said holding part to said support part when said holding part is inserted into said horizontal guide;
- a spring acting between said support part and said tilt lever to urge said tilt lever to tilt to said position;
- and
- said holding part, when said holding part and said support are coupled together and when the front panel is connected to said holding part, being movable to a limited extent relative to said support part in opposition to the urging of said spring.
