Running rollers transfer the load of the drawer from one rail to another. The running rollers are held in cage-like running carriages. Driving rollers which run on the supporting rail and the pull-out rail are mounted on the intermediate rail. The intermediate rail has a U-shaped or double T-shaped profile with upper and lower horizontal running flanges and a vertical connecting web. All running rollers are situated between the running flanges of the intermediate rail. A supporting roller for the pull-out rail is mounted at the front end of the intermediate rail.
