Abstract
The present invention is a fitting for the adjustable-height mounting of drawers on the runner rails of drawer slides, which support them on the bottom. On the runner rail of each drawer slide a slider is provided with a bearing surface facing the drawer bottom, and can be shifted parallel to the runner rails by a given amount. The slides are inclined, however, such that the bearing surface of the slider will be substantially flush with the drawer bottom or even below the drawer bottom when the drawer is supported on the runner rail in the properly installed position. But in the other end position the slider is shifted upward by the amount desired for the adjustment.
