Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An arrangement includes a first pull-out guide and a driver for a drive device for moving a movable furniture part in relation to a furniture body. The driver includes a driver projection to be actively connected to the drive device, a first fastening device with a part arranged on the driver, and a part arranged on the first pull-out guide. One part of the first fastening device is a pin, and one part is a pin-receiving element corresponding to the pin. The pin is positioned obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the first pull-out guide. The driver includes a part of a second fastening device for optional fastening of the driver to a second pull-out guide substantially laterally reversed in relation to the first pull-out guide. The part of the first fastening device is laterally reversed in relation to the part of the second fastening device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An arrangement comprising: a first extension guide for guiding a movable furniture part; an entrainment member to be driven by a drive device for moving the movable furniture part in relation to a furniture carcass, wherein the entrainment member comprises an entrainment projection to be actively connected to the drive device; and a first fastening device including a first part arranged on the entrainment member and a second part arranged on the first extension guide, the first fastening device being configured to fasten the entrainment member to the first extension guide, wherein a first one of the first part and the second part of the first fastening device is a pin and a second one of the first part part and the second part is a pin-receiving element corresponding to the pin, wherein the pin is positioned obliquely to a longitudinal axis of the first extension guide and the pin receiving element comprises an insertion channel for receiving the pin, the insertion channel comprising a bottleneck, wherein the arrangement further includes a second fastening device including a first part arranged on the entrainment member, the first part being a pin or a pin-receiving element, the first part of the second fastening device being configured to fasten the entrainment member to a second extension guide laterally reversed in relation to the first extension guide, wherein the first part of the first fastening device arranged on the entrainment member is oriented so as to be laterally reversed in relation to the first part of the second fastening device arranged on the entrainment member, wherein the pin comprises a central pin axis and a lateral surface formed around the pin axis and which fully encloses the pin axis in a radial direction. 2. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the entrainment member comprises a base plate. 3. The arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the base plate extends along a plate plane. 4. The arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the plate plane is oriented parallel to the longitudinal extension of the first extension guide and horizontally in an assembly condition of the arrangement. 5. The arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the entrainment member comprises a central plane of symmetry which is right-angled to the plate plane. 6. The arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein the first part of the first fastening device arranged on the entrainment member and the first part of the second fastening device arranged on the entrainment member each are arranged on a side of the central plane of symmetry laterally reversed to each other. 7. The arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein the central plane of symmetry leads through the entrainment projection. 8. The arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein the central plane of symmetry divides the entrainment member into a first symmetry area and a second symmetry area. 9. The arrangement according to claim 8 , wherein the first symmetry area and the second symmetry area of the entrainment member are laterally reversed relative to each other. 10. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein, in a fastening state of the arrangement, the pin rests on the pin-receiving element. 11. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein, in an assembly condition of the arrangement, the pin projects vertically from the entrainment member or from the first extension guide. 12. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the central pin axis is oriented at a right angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the first extension guide. 13. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral surface deviates from a circular shape in a cross section which is right-angled to the pin axis. 14. The arrangement according to claim 13 , wherein, in the cross section right-angled to the pin axis, the lateral surface comprises two flattened areas on radially opposing sides and two convex areas on radially opposing sides. 15. The arrangement according to claim 14 , wherein the shortest straight connection line leading through the pin axis between the flattened areas is shorter than the shortest straight connection line leading through the pin axis between the convex areas. 16. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the pin-receiving element is formed in the entrainment member or in the first extension guide, and a recess edge of the pin-receiving element is on the entrainment member or on the first extension guide. 17. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the pin-receiving element comprises a bearing region for the pin, the bearing region being separate from the insertion channel. 18. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the insertion channel comprises a broader nozzle-shaped threading region adjacent to the bottleneck. 19. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the pin is configured to pass the bottleneck of the pin-receiving element during a mounting movement only when the entrainment member is positioned obliquely relative to the longitudinal extension of the first extension guide. 20. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first part of the first fastening device and the first part of the second fastening device are each a pin, and the pin-receiving element is arranged on the first extension guide. 21. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein only one pin or one pin-receiving element is arranged on the first extension guide. 22. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein in an assembly condition of the arrangement, the first part of the second fastening device is distanced from the second part of the first fastening device. 23. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the entrainment member comprises a tongue-shaped clamping element separate from the first and second parts of the first and second fastening devices, the clamping element being connected to the extension guide in an assembly condition. 24. The arrangement according to claim 23 , wherein a plane of symmetry runs centrally through the clamping element. 25. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first extension guide comprises a carcass rail and a drawer rail movable relative to the carcass rail. 26. The arrangement according to claim 25 , wherein the second part of the first fastening device arranged on the first extension guide is on the carcass rail. 27. The arrangement according to claim 26 , wherein the second part of the first fastening device arranged on the carcass rail is formed integrally with the carcass rail so as to be formed into the carcass rail. 28. The arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising the second extension guide laterally reversed relative to the first extension guide. 29. The arrangement according to claim 28 , wherein the entrainment member is a first entrainment member, the arrangement further comprising a second entrainment member to be attached to the second extension guide, the second entrainment member being formed identically to the first entrainment member associated with the first extension guide. 30. The arrangement according to claim 28 , wherein the drive device is a first drive device associated with the first extension guide, further comprising a second drive device associated with the second extension guide.
