Abstract

A device for connecting a movable sliding element to a guide rail of a guide system of an item of furniture having adjustment means comprising latching means, an operating element, and a height adjustment element. The latching means have latching teeth and a latching member. The latching teeth are disposed along a shell face. The latching member is connected to the operating element and the latching member latches with the latching teeth. The height adjustment element is configured in the manner of a disk and the height adjustment element is present so as to be pivotable. The operating element is connected to the height adjustment element. The device in the disposed state connects the sliding element to the guide rail in such a manner that a positional modification of the height adjustment element causes a positional modification of the sliding element relative to the guide system.

First claim

1 . A device for connecting a movable sliding element of an item of furniture to a guide rail of a guide system of the item of furniture, or for connecting a movable sliding element of a domestic appliance, to a guide rail of a guide system of the domestic appliance, wherein the device has adjustment means, wherein the adjustment means comprise latching means, an operating element, and a height adjustment element, wherein the latching means have latching teeth and a latching member, wherein the latching teeth are disposed along a shell face, wherein the latching member is connected to the operating element, wherein the latching member latches with the latching teeth, wherein the height adjustment element is configured in the manner of a disk, wherein the height adjustment element is present so as to be pivotable, in particular rotatable, on the device, wherein the operating element is connected to the height adjustment element, and wherein the device in the disposed state connects the sliding element to the guide rail in such a manner that a positional modification of the height adjustment element causes a positional modification of the sliding element relative to the guide system, in particular a spatial modification of the sliding element relative to the guide rail.

2 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the height adjustment element, the operating element, and the latching member are configured so as to be integral.

3 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the latching teeth are disposed along a conical face.

4 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the latching teeth have latching faces, wherein the latching faces enclose a latching angle, wherein the latching angles of the latching teeth are identical.

5 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the latching teeth comprise a retaining tooth, wherein the shape of the retaining tooth differs in each case from the shape of the remaining latching teeth.

6 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the latching teeth are disposed beside one another in a row, wherein the retaining tooth in the row is disposed on an external side.

7 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein a first latching face of the latching teeth when viewed in a first adjustment direction of the latching member has a larger gradient than a gradient of the second latching face of the latching teeth when viewed in a second adjustment direction of the latching member.

8 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the height adjustment element is present in the form of a circular disk, in particular in the form of a divided circular disk, wherein a thickness of the circular disk is configured so as to increase or decrease along a circular path about the pivot axis of the height adjustment element.

9 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the operating element has an elastic member, wherein the operating element is connected to the height adjustment element by way of the elastic member.

10 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the operating element in relation to a surface of the height adjustment element is present so as to be offset in the direction of the rotation axis of the height adjustment element, wherein the operating element is movable relative to the rotation axis of the height adjustment element.

11 . An item of furniture or domestic appliance having a device according to claim 1 .
