A track assembly includes a guide rail secured to a piece of furniture, a runner secured to a drawer and formed with end stops that run against stationary stops to limit the movement of the runner, an inner slide rail interconnecting the runner and the guide rail to one another to effect a linear travel of the runner relative to the guide rail. Positioned between the slide rail and the runner and the guide rail are cages for retaining balls therein. Each cage is provided in its end zones with supplemental elastic stops which cooperate with end stops so that stationary stops are first impacted by the elastic stops to align possibly tilted drawers before being impacted by the end stops.

Track assembly for a drawer

An adjustment device aligns a drawer that is mounted on rails. A body member is fastened to the rail. An activation part is movably hinged to the body member at a hinge area. The activation part is connected to a wedge piece. The activation part is moveable to achieve alignment between the rail and the drawer. The body member, the activation part, and the wedge piece are integrally made of a plastic material. The hinge is formed by a material constriction in the form of a film hinge. The film hinge has an axis that is approximately parallel to a fastening plane disposed between the body member and the rail. The wedge piece extends approximately at right angles to the hinge axis and to the activation part.
