Abstract

A device for fixing a push element, in particular a drawer box to a rail of a pull-out guide, the device comprising a clamping mechanism with a receptacle, into which a web-shaped holding part can be inserted, wherein a self-locking clamping element is provided at the receptacle, by means of which the holding part is secured in a clamping manner against being pulled out. As a result, a particularly stable fixation of the drawer box to a pull-out guide can be achieved.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device for fixing a push element in the form of a drawer ( 4 ) to a rail ( 5 ) of a pull-out guide ( 3 ), comprising a clamping mechanism with a receptacle ( 20 ), into which a web-shaped holding part ( 12 ) can be inserted, wherein a self-locking clamping element ( 25 ) is provided on the receptacle ( 20 ), by means of which the holding part ( 12 ) is secured in a force-locked manner against pulling out, and further comprising a device for unlocking the clamping element by which the force-locked connection of the clamping element can be released from the holding part ( 12 ), wherein the device for unlocking the clamping element is configured to be inserted into the receptacle ( 20 ) in order to pivot the clamping element ( 25 ).

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping element ( 25 ) is formed as a clamping lever ( 25 ) and is rotatably mounted about a pivot ( 24 ).

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the clamping element ( 25 ) rests via a linear contact surface ( 26 ) against the holding part ( 12 ), which extends parallel to the pivot ( 24 ) of the clamping element ( 25 ).

4. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the pivot ( 24 ) of the clamping element ( 25 ) is arranged in the insertion direction in front of a linear contact region ( 26 ) of the clamping element ( 25 ) on the holding part ( 12 ).

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping element ( 25 ) is pretensioned into the locked position.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the clamping element ( 25 ) is pretensioned into the locked position by an integrally formed spring ( 30 ).

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the device ( 28 , 28 ′) for unlocking can be moved by a linearly guided slide ( 17 ) or a pivotable lever ( 17 ′).

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding part ( 12 ) can be secured in a stepless manner on the clamping mechanism.

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the clamping element ( 25 ) resting against the holding part ( 12 ) and the holding part ( 12 ) are made of metal.

10. The device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one adjusting device is provided, which is configured to move the drawer ( 4 ) relative to the pull-out guide ( 3 ) in at least one spatial direction.

11. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the receptacle ( 20 ) is formed on a fastening part ( 23 ) on which the clamping element ( 25 ) is rotatably mounted.

12. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the fastening part ( 23 ) is displaceably mounted on or in a housing ( 15 ).

13. The device according to claim 12 , wherein the fastening part ( 23 ) is movable relative to the housing ( 15 ) via a device for lateral adjustment.

14. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a device for depth adjustment can be provided on the holding part ( 12 ) in order to adjust the insertion depth of the holding part ( 12 ) into the receptacle ( 20 ).

15. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping element ( 25 ) comprises at least one clamping lever which can be moved by bending.

16. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a fastening part ( 23 ) is provided on which the clamping element ( 25 ) is arranged indirectly or directly, or the clamping element ( 25 ) is formed integrally with the fastening part ( 23 ).

17. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding part ( 12 ) or the clamping mechanism is configured to be arranged on a front region of the drawer ( 4 ).

18. A piece of furniture ( 1 ) having a furniture body ( 2 ) and at least one drawer ( 4 ) which is movably held on the furniture body ( 2 ) via two pull-out guides ( 3 ), and at least one pull-out guide ( 3 ) is connected to the drawer ( 4 ) via the device according to claim 1 .

19. A method for fixing a push element in the form of a drawer ( 4 ) to a rail ( 5 ) of a pull-out guide ( 3 ), comprising a clamping mechanism with a receptacle ( 20 ), into which a web-shaped holding part ( 12 ) can be inserted, wherein a self-locking clamping element ( 25 ) is provided on the receptacle ( 20 ), by which the holding part ( 12 ) is secured in a force-locked manner against pulling out, wherein the frictionally engaged connection is terminated by inserting an element into the receptacle between the holding part ( 12 ) and the clamping element ( 25 ), and the holding part ( 12 ) can be separated from the clamping mechanism by pivoting the clamping element ( 25 ).
