Abstract

A device for attaching a guide unit to a first furniture part which is movably guided relative to a second furniture part, wherein the guide unit includes a basic unit rail disposed on the second furniture part and a motion rail disposed on the first furniture part. Two bearing portions are disposed spaced apart on a lower edge of the device, which is provided for disposal on the motion rail. Each of the bearing portions is configured on a side which faces the respective other bearing portion, such that the motion rail can be disposed between the bearing portions. At least one of the bearing portions is mounted on the device so as to be readjustable so that a position of the bearing portion is modifiable to align the first furniture part in the assembled state in a horizontal direction in relation to the motion rail.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A guide unit attachment device attaching a basic unit rail disposed on a second furniture part to a motion rail disposed on a first furniture part, the device comprising:
an assembly plate affixed to the first furniture part;
an arrester installation defined on the motion rail forming a stop for the first furniture part;
a support plate displaceably mounted on the assembly plate, the support plate comprising a lower edge for engaging a horizontal profile portion of the motion rail, an arrester receptacle for receiving the arrester installation, and a protrusion protruding downwardly therefrom defining a first bearing portion for engaging a first vertical profile portion of the motion rail;
a lateral readjustment assembly disposed on the support plate, the lateral readjustment assembly comprising a substantially horizontal beam portion extending from the support plate, a displaceable slide element guided on the beam portion having a protrusion protruding downwardly therefrom defining a second bearing portion for engaging a second vertical profile portion of the motion rail, the first and second bearing portions disposed in spaced apart positions proximate the lower edge of the support plate, each bearing portion having a side face facing an opposing side face on the respective other bearing portion, wherein the motion rail is disposed between the opposing side faces of the bearing portions, and an actuator engaging the slide element to displace the slide element on the beam portion in a lateral direction to readjust a position of the bearing portions to align the first furniture part in a horizontal direction in relation to the motion rail.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral readjustment assembly is further configured to readjust the positions of the two bearing portions on the device independently of one another.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the positions of the two bearing portions on the device are adjustable in an interlinked manner by the laterally displaceable slide element of the lateral readjustment assembly.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the actuator comprises a set screw.

5. An attachment device comprising two attachment units for attaching a guide device to a first furniture part which, by way of two guide units of the guide device, is guided so as to be movable in relation to a second furniture part, each guide unit having a motion rail which is disposed on the first furniture part, wherein one of the attachment units for each motion rail attaches the first furniture part to a corresponding one of the two guide units, and wherein at least one of the two attachment units comprises a guide unit attachment device according to claim 1 .

6. An attachment device comprising two attachment units for attaching a guide device to a first furniture part which, by way of two guide units of the guide device, are guided so as to be movable in relation to a second furniture part, each guide unit having a motion rail which is disposed on the first furniture part, one of the attachment units for each motion rail attaching the first furniture part to a corresponding one of the two guide units, wherein both attachment units comprise guide unit attachment devices according to claim 1 , and wherein the two attachment units are configured to be mirror-symmetrical in relation to one another.

7. An item of furniture having a device according to claim 1 .
