  • Publication number: 20190239645
    Abstract: A retraction device for a drawer mechanism comprises a spring-loaded carriage that can be moved in the push-in/pull-out direction for temporary coupling to an inner rail of the drawer mechanism. The carriage can be clocked in a retraction position by means of a locking slide that can be moved transverse to the push-in/pull-out direction in a guide. For coupling to the inner rail the carriage has at least one pivot element, which can be pivoted about an axis oriented perpendicular to the push-in/pull-out direction and perpendicular to the direction of movement of the locking slide. The pivot element and guide are arranged in such a manner that, in a locking position, the locking slide blocks a pivoting movement of the pivot element.

  • Publication number: 20180319297
    Abstract: Telescopic rail includes first rail and second rail supported against each other to be linearly slidable in relation to each other in an extending direction from a first position into a second position, and locking device. The locking device includes stop element on first rail, mass element held on second rail and movable in relation to second rail in the extending direction or against the extending direction, spring element resiliently pretensioning mass element with a spring force, and locking element. The spring force has a force direction in the extending direction or against the extending direction. Mass element is movable against the spring force from an idle position into a triggering position, and, through a movement of mass element against the spring force, locking element is movable from an unlocked position into a locking position such that locking element in the locking position can be brought into engagement with stop element.

  • Patent number: 8240916
    Abstract: A linear guidance system having a guide rail and a carriage. The carriage is guided displaceably on the guide rail by way of at least two ball bearings, wherein the ball bearings respectively comprise a plurality of balls and a strip-shaped ball cage. The guide rail has running surfaces and the carriage has running surfaces for the rolling movement of the balls of the ball bearings. The ball cage has a plurality of substantially circular through openings which are arranged in succession in a row and into which the balls are inserted, wherein the inside diameter of the through openings tapers conically in the direction from a running surface of the guide rail to the associated running surface of the carriage to an inside diameter or is constricted by limiting means to an inside diameter which is smaller than the diameter of the balls so that the balls are secured in the through openings to prevent them from falling out of the through openings in the direction of the running surface of the carriage.
