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 which the holding part is secured in a clamping manner against being pulled out. In this way, 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 drawer ( 4 ) on a rail ( 5 ) of a pullout guide ( 3 ), comprising a clamping mechanism having a receptacle ( 20 ), into which a web-shaped holding part ( 12 ) is insertable, wherein a self-locking clamping element ( 25 ) in the form of a clamping lever is provided on the receptacle ( 20 ) so as to be rotatable about a rotational axis, by which clamping lever the holding part ( 12 ) is secured in a friction-locked manner against pulling out, wherein the rotational axis ( 24 ) of the clamping element ( 25 ) is arranged before a linear contact region ( 26 ) of the clamping element ( 25 ) on the holding part ( 12 ) in an insertion direction.

2. The device according to claim 1 wherein the clamping element ( 25 ) is pre-tensioned in the locked position.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a device ( 28 ) for unlocking the clamping element ( 25 ) is provided, by which the clamping element ( 25 ) can be disengaged from the holding part ( 12 ).

4. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the device ( 28 ) for unlocking comprises a traction element, by which the clamping element ( 25 ) is movable into an unlocked position.

5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein the traction element is designed as a wire bow, which is movable in a wedge-shaped gap ( 29 ) between the clamping element ( 25 ) and a fastening part ( 23 ).

6. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the device ( 28 ) for unlocking can be actuated via a guided slide ( 27 ).

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping element ( 25 ) presses via the linear contact region ( 26 ) against the holding part ( 12 ), which extends substantially in parallel to the rotational axis ( 24 ) of the clamping element ( 25 ).

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding part ( 12 ) is continuously fixable on the clamping mechanism.

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the clamping element ( 23 ) pressing against the holding part ( 12 ) and the holding part ( 12 ) are produced from metal.

10. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the receptacle ( 20 ) is formed on a fastening part ( 23 ), on which the clamping element ( 25 ) is mounted so it is rotatable or bendable.

11. The device according to claim 10 , wherein the fastening part ( 23 ) is mounted so it is displaceable on or in a housing ( 15 ).

12. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the fastening part ( 23 ) is movable via a device ( 19 ) for lateral adjustment in relation to the housing ( 15 ).

13. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping element ( 25 ) is actuated by bending.

14. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a fastening part ( 23 ) is provided, on which the clamping element ( 25 ) is indirectly or directly arranged, or the clamping element ( 25 ) is embodied in one piece with the fastening part ( 23 ).

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

16. An item of furniture ( 1 ) comprising a furniture body ( 2 ) and at least one drawer ( 4 ), which is held so it is movable via two pullout guides ( 3 ) on the furniture body ( 2 ), wherein at least one pullout guide ( 3 ) is connected to the drawer ( 4 ) via the device according to claim 1 .

17. A method for fixing a push element in the form of a drawer ( 4 ) on a rail ( 5 ) of a pullout guide ( 3 ), comprising a clamping mechanism having a receptacle ( 20 ), into which a web-shaped holding part ( 12 ) is insertable, wherein a self-locking clamping element ( 25 ) in the form of a clamping lever is provided on the receptacle ( 20 ) so as to be rotatable around a rotational axis, by which clamping lever the holding part ( 12 ) is secured in a friction-locked manner against pulling out, wherein the rotational axis ( 24 ) of the clamping element ( 25 ) is arranged before a linear contact region ( 26 ) of the clamping element ( 25 ) on the holding part ( 12 ) in an insertion direction and wherein the friction-locked connection is canceled by actuating a button or a slide ( 17 , 27 ) and the holding part ( 12 ) is removable from the clamping mechanism.
