Device for fixing a drawer extension mechanism

A device for releasably fixing a guide rail of a drawer slide to a drawer, the guide rail extending in a longitudinal direction and having a support surface for the drawer, the guide rail defining an opening, which comprises an integral shaped part comprising

• (a) a base plate mountable on the drawer,
• (b) a detent engageable by the guide rail opening,
• (c) a hand grip attached to the detent,
• (d) an adjustment wedge connected to the base plate by a breakable connecting portion, the wedge being adjustable in the longitudinal direction for insertion between the support surface of the guide rail and the drawer for positioning the drawer in a desired position in which the detent engages the opening and the hand grip being operable to release the detent from the opening, the adjustment wedge comprising
• (1) a rack extending along a side of the wedge in the longitudinal direction, the rack having teeth defining recesses there between,
• (e) elastically flexible webs connecting the detent and the hand grip to the base plate,
• (f) guide means for guiding the adjustment wedge in the longitudinal direction upon breaking the breakable connecting portions, the adjustment wedge having a dog lockingly engaging the guide means.
• (g) the base plate defining an insertion guide for a tool designed to engage a respective one of the recesses, and said wedge side partially covering the insertion guide when the wedge side is positioned above the breakable portion whereby insertion of the tool in the insertion guide and breaking of the breakable portion by the tool causes the adjustment wedge to be displaced toward a side of the wedge facing away from the rack into alignment with the guide means, and
• (g) a dog on the wedge engaging the guide means.
