Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A device is provided for adjusting a closing position of a drawer. The device is configured to be attached to a carcass rail such that the closing position of the drawer can be set with respect to a direction of movement of the drawer provided with the rail guide. The device includes a rotatable adjusting element and a stop. When the device is mounted on the furniture, the stop can be brought into different adjustment positions on the device by turning the adjusting element, and the stop predefines the closing position of the drawer. The adjusting element and a sliding element of the device, coupled to the adjusting element, are configured that the sliding element is linearly adjustable by a turning movement of the adjusting element, and the stop is provided on the sliding element.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A device for adjusting a closing position of a drawer, which is accommodated movably on a furniture carcass of an item of furniture via a rail guide, wherein the rail guide comprises a carcass rail, which can be affixed to the furniture carcass, and a drawer rail, which is displaceable relative to the carcass rail and which can be connected to the drawer, wherein the device is configured for an attachment to the carcass rail in such a manner that the closing position of the drawer can be set with respect to a direction of movement of the drawer provided with the rail guide, wherein the device comprises an adjusting element provided rotatably on the device, wherein when the device is mounted on the furniture, a stop of the device can be brought into different adjustment positions on the device by turning the adjusting element, wherein the stop predefines the closing position of the drawer in such a manner that the displacement movement of the drawer rail is limited in the closing direction of the drawer, whereby a counterstop of the drawer rail is present on the stop, wherein the adjusting element of the device and a sliding element of the device coupled to the adjusting element are configured in such a manner that the sliding element is linearly adjustable by a turning movement of the adjusting element, wherein the stop is provided on the sliding element. 2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adjusting element can be adjusted linearly together with the sliding element by turning the adjusting element. 3. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stop is aligned at an angle to a flat outer side of the sliding element. 4. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a base plate, which can be plugged on the carcass rail. 5. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adjusting element has a vertical axis of rotation in the usage state. 6. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adjusting element has at least one pivot bearing portion. 7. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the device is constructed from precisely three individual components, comprising a base plate, the adjusting element, and the sliding element. 8. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the device has a resilient plug-in portion for plugging the device on the carcass rail. 9. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the device has a height dimension between 3 mm and 7 mm. 10. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the device has a length dimension between 20 mm and 50 mm. 11. The device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the adjusting element and the base plate comprise transmission portions, which come into mutual abutment, which are configured for conversion of the turning movement of the adjusting element into the linear movement of the sliding element. 12. The device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the transmission portions comprise a protruding engaging member and a recessed guide portion, wherein the engaging member projects into the guide portion. 13. A carcass rail of a rail guide, wherein the carcass rail comprises a device as claimed in claim 1 . 14. A rail guide with a carcass rail as claimed in claim 13 and a drawer rail, which is displaceable relative to the carcass rail and which can be connected to a drawer. 15. A drawer with a rail guide as claimed in claim 14 . 16. The device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the height dimension of the device is around 5 mm. 17. The device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the length dimension of the device is around 35 mm.
