Abstract

A pull-out guide for a drawer, comprising a guide rail can be fixed to a body and a running rail which is movably mounted. At least one central rail can optionally be provided between the guide rail and the running rail, and a securing device with a holder is provided on the running rail, wherein a drawer can be fixed to the holder. The holder is mounted in a movable manner in the longitudinal direction of the running rail and is pretensioned towards the front in the pull-out direction by means of an energy accumulator. In this manner, a drawer can be easily mounted on the securing device, and manufacturing tolerances can be compensated for.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A pullout guide for a drawer having a guide rail fixable on a body and a movably mounted slide rail, wherein at least one middle rail can optionally be provided between the guide rail and the slide rail, and a securing device having a holder is provided on the slide rail, on which a drawer is fixable, wherein the holder is mounted so it is displaceable with respect to the slide rail against the spring action of a force accumulator in the longitudinal direction of the slide rail, and wherein the displaceable holder has an upper projection, which is insertable into an opening or a holding device on a rear wall of the drawer.

2. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein an essentially linear guide is provided for the holder.

3. The pullout guide according to claim 2 , wherein the guide is arranged laterally on the slide rail.

4. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein the displaceable holder has a lower guide portion, which is movable along a guide.

5. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein the force accumulator applies a force forward in the extension direction to the displaceable holder.

6. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein the drawer is fixed via the holder and further securing means on the slide rail.

7. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein a spring is tensioned between the movable holder and an immovable part of the securing device or the slide rail.

8. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein the holder is adjustable in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the slide rail.

9. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein the guide is mounted with the holder so it is pivotable on a housing of the securing device or directly on the slide rail.

10. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein the securing device comprises a vertical adjustment unit for the drawer.

11. The pullout guide according to claim 10 , wherein the vertical adjustment unit has a slide guided diagonally in relation to the horizontal or an eccentric or a threaded spindle.

12. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein the holder is vertically adjustable via an adjustment element.

13. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein the drawer is vertically adjustable in relation to the slide rail via at least one of a slide on the securing device and a holding device on the rear wall-of the drawer.

14. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein for vertical adjustment, the holder engages with the projection between support elements, which are arranged on the rear side of the drawer in a holding device, wherein the holding device is mounted so it is vertically movable in relation to the slide rail.

15. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein the holder is displaceable along a guide, which is aligned inclined in relation to the horizontal.

16. The pullout guide according to claim 15 , wherein the guide slopes downward to the rear and the drawer thus is fixed in a clamping manner on the slide rail during the displacement of the holder or the drawer presses nearly without play against the slide rail.

17. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein the displaceable travel of the holder is delimited by stops.

18. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein the distance between the rear wall or a holding device on the rear wall and the holder remains substantially unchanged during the drawer installation from the coupling of the holder to the drawer until reaching the installation end position of the drawer.

19. The pullout guide according to claim 4 , wherein the projection plunges with at least 80% of its length into at least one of the drawer and into a holding device on the rear wall of the drawer.

20. The pullout guide according to claim 1 , wherein the drawer or the pullout guide comprises a depth adjustment, which comprises a relative movement between the drawer and the slide rail.

21. A piece of furniture or a domestic appliance having at least two pullout guides according to claim 1 , on which a drawer is fixed.
