Abstract
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.
