There is described a device for fixing the front panel (,) of a drawer on a lateral, metallic frame (,) of the drawer by means of a holder (,) provided on the front panel (,) and protruding against the frame (,), which holder consists of a supporting plate (,) and a pressing plate (,), between which the frame (,) can be clamped by means of a clamping screw (,) extending through the frame (,) in an insertion slot (,) open at the front, where the holder (,) on the one hand has an adjusting eccentric (,) vertically supported on a supporting stop (,) of the frame (,) and on the other hand a locating stop (,), which engages behind a locking stop (,) of the frame (,) extending transverse to the longitudinal direction of the frame and having an inclined stop face (,). To create advantageous constructional conditions it is proposed that the adjusting eccentric (,) engages in the insertion slot (,) extending in longitudinal direction of the frame, and that the forwardly directed edge of a widened portion (,) of the insertion slot (,), which extends transverse to the longitudinal direction of the frame, constitutes the locking stop (,).

Device for fixing the front panel of a drawer

In a drawer with side frames (1) and a rear wall (2) made of sheet metal, the lower ends of the side frames (1) and the rear wall (2) are provided with flanges (4) or bevels (5) designed like longitudinal grooves for holding a drawer bottom (3). At the rear ends of the frames (1) inwardly facing bevels (8) are provided for supporting the rear wall (2), and the rear wall (2) can be fixed at these bevels by flat engagement hooks (15) formed on said rear wall, where the engagement hooks (15) engage in slots (9) of the bevels (8), and at a distance below the engagement hook (15) a flat securing lug (16) is provided, which can be introduced into a further slotted opening (10) of the bevel (8) of the side frame (1). To achieve a stable and easily mountable construction, the rear wall (2) has an upwardly directed engagement hook (15) for each of the two bevels (8) of the side frames (1), which engagement hook can be put through an associated slotted opening (9), which ends at a distance from the upper edge of the bevel (8), and snaps onto the upper end of this slotted opening.

Drawer

A drawer comprises a lateral metallic frame, a front panel and a device for mounting the front panel on the lateral metallic frame. The mounting device comprises a holder provided at the front panel and protruding against the lateral metallic frame, and the holder comprises a guiding member engaging in a guiding slot of the frame, the guiding slot being open at an end face of the frame, extending in the longitudinal direction and forming a widened portion constituted by a frame recess extending transversely to the longitudinal direction. A locking piece is disposed at a side of the guiding member facing away from the front panel, the frame recess forming a locking stop engaged by a supporting surface of the locking piece, and a locking bar is insertable through the guiding slot into the widened portion laterally adjacent the frame, the locking bar being a carrier for the locking piece and being movable transversely to the guiding slot, and the locking bar being subject to a locking force.

Device for mounting the front panel of a drawer

There is described a sliding drawer guide comprising a u-shaped guide rail (1), and a drawer rail (8) which is supported on a track roller (7) in the front end portion of the guide rail (1), and in the rear end portion carries a track roller (11) rolling on a lower guiding web of the guide rail (1). A pivoted supporting lever (13) extends beyond the rear wall of a drawer (5). A guide bracket (21) is provided in a rear end portion of the mounting flange of the guide rail (1) for the supporting lever (13), which can be swivelled between an upper rest position and a lower, stop-limited working position, and carries at its free end a guiding member (24) engaging in the guide bracket (21). Furthermore, a supporting roller (18) cooperates with an upper guiding web of the guide rail (1). To create advantageous constructional conditions, it is proposed that the drawer rail (8) provided on the bottom surface of the drawer (5) extends inside the guide rail (1), whose outer leg (2) forms the mounting flange, and whose web (12) connecting the outer and the inner leg (2, 3) forms the lower guiding web, whereas the upper guiding web consists of a marginal web (19) of the inner leg (3) of the guide rail (1), which is angled with respect to the mounting flange, on which marginal web the track roller (7) for the drawer rail (8) is supported.

Drawer slide

The device comprises for each frame (1) a holding member (5) fixed at the front cover (2), which holding member has an aperture that is defined by clamping surfaces of a supporting plate (8) to be fixed at the front cover (2) and a pressure plate (6) connected therewith by means of a clamping screw (7), and whose width can be adjusted by the clamping screw (7) bridging the same, in which aperture the end of the frame (1) can be inserted by means of a lead-in slit (16) for the clamping screw extending therefrom. The lead-in slit (16) of the frame (1) constitutes a connecting link guide for an adapter (14) comprising the female thread for the clamping screw (7) and protruding from the pressure plate (6), and the end of the adapter (14) protrudes into the correspondingly increased lead-in aperture (12) for the clamping screw in the supporting plate (8), where the clamping screw (7) is supported with its head or a washer (18) on the supporting plate (8) outside the edge of the aperture.

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

A sequentially operable drawer slide arrangement comprises a stationary cabinet slide rail, an intermediate slide rail guided on the cabinet slide rail by a roller mounted on the cabinet slide rail for sliding movement with respect to the cabinet slide rail between a retracted and an extended position, a drawer slide rail guided on the intermediate slide rail by a roller mounted on the intermediate slide rail for sliding movement with respect to the intermediate slide rail between a retracted and an extended position, and a mechanism for sequencing the sliding movements of the intermediate and drawer slide rails between said positions. This mechanism comprises a coupling element arranged on the intermediate slide rail close to a forward end thereof for pivoting between two end positions to lock the intermediate slide rail selectively to the cabinet slide rail or the drawer slide rail in the respective end positions, and abutment devices respectively arranged on the cabinet and drawer slide rails to cooperate with the coupling element.
