Pull-out guide for drawers

The invention concerns a panel adjustment device for a drawer () that is equipped with a front panel (), which is located in a cabinet () by means of a rail system () with at least one each of a drawer rail (), a cabinet rail () and, optionally a drawer-d&#xe9;cor profile () that is guided on both sides lengthwise; whereby, the panel adjustment device is suitable for changing the enclosed inclination angle () between the vertical level of the front fore side () of the cabinet () and the vertical level of the front panel () of the drawer (), and the panel adjustment device works directly or indirectly between the drawer () and the drawer rail () by a lifting and lowering device () that has a lifting and lowering element () so that a swiveling of the drawer () (and with it, the panel []) is possible around a swiveling axis (); whereby, the swiveling axis () runs between the front panel () and the lifting and lower element (), and the distance between the swiveling axis () and the front panel () is somewhat larger or smaller than the distance between the swiveling axis () and the lifting and lower element (). The advantage is an economical panel adjustment device, which makes a simple, easy and quick adjustment of the inclination angle () between the vertical level of the front panel () of the drawer () and the vertical level of the front fore side () of the cabinet (), without a panel correction in the inclination () of the height () being necessary. Likewise, the simple operation of the panel adjustment device at the front of the drawer component, makes it possible to make adjustments without the necessity of removing the drawer ().

Panel adjustment device

The invention concerns a drawer slide with compensation of synchronous running errors of slide rails (equalize the errors of the relative positions of the slide rails to each other), having on each of the two side of the drawer a rail system, that has a cabinet rail fastened directly or indirectly by a cabinet angle on a cabinet body and is held directly or indirectly linearly movable by a linear bearing by a center rail on a drawer rail, which is connected directly or indirectly by a d&#xe9;cor with the drawer; whereby a compensation mechanism is provided that has a compensation lever, that is connected by a pivot bearing directly or indirectly by a cabinet angle or linear bearing or d&#xe9;cor with one of the rails, and during its turning at the end of each drawer closing cycle, reaches a positive/form-fitting position with stops, that directly or indirectly are connected by a cabinet angle or linear bearing or d&#xe9;cor with the remaining rails and, thus, ensures each drawer closing is automatic, guided and has equalized any synchronous running error.

The invention concerns a damping device for damping the kinetic energy of movable cabinet components, which has a first damping element with a first cylinder that has a first piston, which slides lengthwise in it, and at least one more (second) damping element with a second cylinder that has a second piston, which slides lengthwise in it. Both damping elements are located one behind the other in a serial arrangement and form an integral system. The invention is characterized by the fact that each of the two damping elements are each designed as pneumatic (air) dampers, and a compression chamber and an expansion chamber respectively contain variable volumes; whereby, the damping effects of the damping elements are affected by the guide canals, which control the air distribution and air flow within and between the compression chambers and/or expansion chambers.

The invention concerns a cabinet hinge with an adjusting device that is directly or indirectly on the cabinet side, single or multi-part mounting plate stored hinge arm, that is connected jointed with a door-side stop part, so that the adjusting device has a side adjusting screw by means of which the hinge arm's position perpendicular to the mounting plate can be changed to the door's side adjustment. The side adjusting device has a side adjusting screw with at least one eccentric- or cam disks so that by turning the side adjusting screw, a side adjustment and, at the same time, a parallel shifting of the hinge arm relative to the mounting plate occurs, resulting in a correction of the door's depth adjustment for an amount. The depth adjustment includes a depth adjusting screw, that is stored on the hinge arm or one of these connected assembly parts and has at least one eccentric- or cam disks that is supported on corresponding contact surfaces of the mounting plate and by turning the depth adjustment screw, a movement or shifting of the hinge arm relative to the mounting plate takes place for an amount.

Cabinet hinge

The invention concerns a cabinet hinge with a depth adjusting device for hinge arm held directly or indirectly on a cabinet-side, single- or multi-part mounting plate. A revolvable depth adjusting screw held in the mounting plate is provided in order to adjust the depth. A driver plate is connected with the hinge arm; whereby, the depth adjusting screw has adjusting elements that work together with corresponding adjusting surfaces on the driver plate in such a way that by turning the depth adjusting screw, the driver plate and the hinge arm are moved in relation to the mounting plate. The invention offers the advantage that with only turn, the depth adjusting screw can finely and delicately adjust the depth position of the hinge arm over its entire adjustment range.

Cabinet hinge with depth adjustment

The invention concerns a hinge, in particular a cabinet hinge with a baseplate that fastens to the cabinet body and a baseplate with a supporting adjusting plate than can be connected to the cabinet hinge, so that a secure fastening of the catch connection is provided. In order to attain a stabile connection that, at the same time, provides an easy assembly, the baseplate is formed in two parts&mdash;one lower part that fastens to the cabinet body and an upper part that tenses into the lower part. A height adjusting screw is provided to secure and vertically adjust the upper part on the lower part and has at least one eccentric or cam disks with an angle-dependent modification of the radius and whose eccentric or cam disk work together with at least one corresponding gliding cam of the upper part. The advantage, here, is that no self-activated adjustment of the hinge is possible, because the cam disks of the clamping height adjusting screw; both assembly components of the baseplate's upper and lower parts clamp together, are self-locking. This height adjustment is easy and simple to achieve smoothly, even with heavy cabinet doors.
