In a complete pullout assembly for drawers (2, 3), with a stationary cabinet slide member (16), an intermediate slide member (10) and a drawer slide member (6), the intermediate slide member (10) being guided along the cabinet slide member (16) and the drawer slide member (6) being guided along the intermediate slide member (10), a space-saving, simple construction is obtained with the intermediate slide member (10) and the drawer slide member (6) being shaped as bottom-guiding slide members with a trough or tubular profile which is at least partially open downwardly and has a flat upper web, the intermediate slide member (10) being guided exclusively in the drawer slide member (6) with a small gap between the flat upper web thereof and the web of the drawer slide member (6) by rollers (13) rotatable about horizonal axes on side flanges thereof along which the drawer slide member (6) is guided with its upper web on both sides and along guides (8) inwardly bent from the side flanges. Intermediate slide member (1) and drawer slide member (6) have at least approximately the same profile heights.

Pullout assembly for drawers

A device for releasably fixing a guide rail of a drawer slide to a drawer, the guide rail extending in a longitudinal direction and having a support surface for the drawer, the guide rail defining an opening, comprises an integral shaped part comprising a base plate mountable on the drawer, a detent engageable by the guide rail opening, a hand grip attached to the detent, an adjustment wedge connected to the base plate by breakable connecting portions, the wedge being adjustable in the longitudinal direction for insertion between the support surface of the guide rail and the drawer for positioning the drawer in a desired position in which the detent engages the opening and the hand grip being operable to release the detent from the opening, elastically flexible webs connecting the detent and the hand grip to the base plate, and guides for guiding the adjustment wedge in the longitudinal direction upon breaking the breakable connecting portions, the adjustment wedge having a dog lockingly engaging the guides.

Device for fixing a drawer extension mechanism

A retraction-assisting device for a drawer, comprises two guide housings, fixed to respective ones of corpus rails and each of which and comprises laterally spaced apart first and second longitudinally extending guide flanges, connecting member extends between the guide flanges and has comprises on one side a an indentation adapted to receive a coupling element on the drawer. The connecting member assumes a drawer-coupling first angular position, in which it is movable toward a forward end of the housing to stress the spring and a drawer-releasing second angular position, in which the coupling element is disengageable from to release the drawer and is also adapted to re-engage the indentation to return to the first angular position so that said drawer is then coupled to the connecting member, whereafter the stressed spring urges the connecting member toward the rear end of the guide housing.

Retraction-assisting device for use with a drawer

A drawer having metal side walls comprises a bottom plate, which is supported on angled carrying flanges of the side walls. Each carrying flange has lanced retaining lugs, which are intended to extend into a groove of the bottom plate and after the bottom plate has been placed on the flange are adapted to be bent to assume a fixing position, in which the lugs extend into the material which constitutes one or both side faces of the groove. The retaining lugs are initially lanced to extend in the longitudinal direction of the flange and are adapted to be bent up transversely to the longitudinal direction of the flange and groove. Each lug has a root portion, which merges into the flange and is not wider than the groove. At a distance from the root portion the lugs are provided with lateral projections, which during the bending up of the lugs are in pressure contact with at least one side face of the groove and dig arcuate furrows into the side face.
