Device for the adjustable attachment of the front cover of a drawer on frames

A drawer comprising a side frame, a front cover, a device for adjustably attaching the front cover to the side frame, and a device for adjusting the vertical position of the front cover in relation to the side frame, the attaching device comprising:

• (a) a holding member for the side frame consisting of
• (1) a supporting plate affixed to the front cover and
• (2) a pressure plate defining a gap with the supporting plate, the gap defining an adjustable width and an end portion of the side frame being inserted in the gap,
• (b) a clamping screw having a head, the clamping screw connecting the pressure plate to the supporting plate of the holding member,
• (c) a threaded socket protruding from the pressure plate into, and engaging, a bore in the supporting plate,
• (1) the bore having a rim and the head of the clamping screw being supported on the rim of the bore, and
• (2) the clamping screw being engaged in the threaded socket and tightening of the clamping screw adjusting the width of the gap and clamping the end portion of the side frame between a clamping surface of the supporting plate and a pressure surface of the pressure plate bearing against the end portion of the side frame, and
• (d) the end portion of the side frame defining a guide slot for the threaded socket and the threaded socket passing through the guide slot, the guide slot having a first leg extending substantially parallel to a longitudinal extension of the side frame inwardly from an end of the end portion of the side frame adjacent the front cover and a second leg extending downwardly from the first leg at an angle, and the vertical position adjusting device comprising
• (e) another slot in the end portion of the side frame, the other slot extending substantially parallel to the second leg of the guide slot, the other slot having
• (1) an edge defining notches, and
• (f) the supporting plate defining an access aperture aligned with the other slot and capable of receiving an adjusting tool for engaging a respective one of the notches.
