Abstract

A drawer pull-out guide includes a first guide rail, a second guide rail displaceably supported relative to the first guide rail, and a running carriage which is displaceably supported between the first guide rail and the second guide rail. The running carriage includes at least three rolling bodies, each having a cylindrical form and being rotatable about a horizontally extending axis in a mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide. The at least three rolling bodies, in the mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide, are arranged in at least three running planes lying above one another.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A drawer pull-out guide, comprising:
a first guide rail and at least one second guide rail displaceably supported relative to one another;
a third guide rail to be fixed to a drawer; and
at least one running carriage displaceably arranged between the first guide rail and the at least one second guide rail,
wherein:
the at least one running carriage includes: (i) at least four rolling bodies configured to transmit one or more loads; and (ii) at least one lateral supporting roller;
each of the at least four rolling bodies has a cylindrical form and is rotatable about a horizontally extending axis in a mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide;
the at least four rolling bodies, in the mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide, are arranged in at least three running planes lying above one another;
in a lowest running plane of the at least three running planes, at least two of the at least four rolling bodies are arranged laterally next to one another in a direction extending transverse to a longitudinal direction of the first guide rail and the at least one second guide rail;
the at least one second guide rail includes a vertically extending limb;
the at least one lateral supporting roller of the at least one running carriage is in contact with the vertically extending limb of the at least one second guide rail such that the at least one lateral supporting roller of the at least one running carriage is displaceable along the vertically extending limb of the at least one second guide rail;
the at least one lateral supporting roller of the at least one running carriage has a rotational axis extending vertically in the mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide;
the first guide rail is to be fixed to a furniture carcass; and
the at least one second guide rail is displaceably supported between the first guide rail and the third guide rail.

2. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the at least four rolling bodies in a view onto a plane extending perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first guide rail and the at least one second guide rail are arranged so as to be laterally offset to one another.

3. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein a first rolling body of the at least four rolling bodies—in a view onto a plane extending perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first guide rail and the at least one second guide rail is at a lowest position relative to a second rolling body of the at least four rolling bodies and to a third rolling body of the at least four rolling bodies, and the second rolling body and the third rolling body are arranged entirely above the first rolling body.

4. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein at least two of the at least four rolling bodies—in a view onto a plane extending perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first guide rail and the at least one second guide rail—are arranged only partially above one another.

5. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the at least four rolling bodies are spaced from each other along a direction extending in the longitudinal direction of the first guide rail and the at least one second guide rail.

6. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein each of the at least four rolling bodies—in relation to the at least one running carriage—is arranged so as to be stationary in a longitudinal direction of the at least one running carriage.

7. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein axes of the at least four rolling bodies are each arranged in the at least three running planes.

8. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein each of at least two of the at least four rolling bodies has a different diameter.

9. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 8 , wherein one rolling body of the at least four rolling bodies, that is arranged on a front end of the at least one running carriage, has a diameter which is less than a diameter of the other rolling bodies of the at least four rolling bodies.

10. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein a first rolling body of the at least four rolling bodies belongs to a first group of rolling bodies, a second rolling body of the at least four rolling bodies belongs to a second group of rolling bodies, and a third rolling body of the at least four rolling bodies belongs to a third group of rolling bodies, wherein each of the first group of rolling bodies, the second group of rolling bodies and the third group of rolling bodies has a plurality of rolling bodies arranged in a same running plane of the at least three running planes.

11. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein:
the first guide rail or the at least one second guide rail has a side limb and a transverse limb connected to the side limb via a rabbet; and
at least one of the at least four rolling bodies is configured to run along the transverse limb and at least another of the at least four rolling bodies is configured to run along the rabbet.

12. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one running carriage has three limbs aligned substantially horizontally in the mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide, and at least one of the at least four rolling bodies is supported on each of the three limbs.

13. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 12 , wherein the three limbs are connected to one another by two connecting limbs aligned substantially vertically in the mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide.

14. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 12 , wherein one of the three limbs aligned substantially horizontally in the mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide extends substantially over an entire width of at least one of the first guide rail or the at least one second guide rail.

15. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 12 , wherein one of the three limbs aligned substantially horizontally in the mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide has a width which is substantially twice as wide as another of the three limbs.

16. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one running carriage, in a cross section, has a substantially U-shaped or a substantially C-shaped configuration.

17. The drawer pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one running carriage has a length, and a region in which the at least four rolling bodies are arranged, extends over only a part of the length of the at least one running carriage.

18. A drawer comprising at least one drawer pull-out guide according to claim 1 for moving the drawer relative to a furniture carcass.
