A locking apparatus is provided for the catch part, and the locking apparatus is in the form of a clamping apparatus.
Claims28
A drawer frame comprising:
- a fastening device for releasable fastening of a front panel to the drawer frame;
- a fitting pre-assembled to the front panel;
- a spring-loaded catch member arranged in the drawer frame, the spring-loaded catch member being configured to automatically pull the fitting towards the drawer frame when engaged with one another, the catch member including a locking device in the form of a clamping device, the locking device comprising at least one wedge member rotatable about an axis, the wedge member being configured to lock the catch member in a first operating position and to release the catch member in a second operating position;
- and
- a stationary abutment member;
- wherein the catch member, the wedge member, and the abutment member are configured and arranged such that, in the first operating position, the wedge member is wedged between the abutment member and the catch member, the abutment member being spaced apart from the catch member.
