Patent number: 5538339Abstract: A drawer construction set includes two metal drawer frames, each having a rear end thereof a flange extending inwardly. The flange has an upwardly open slot and a lower slot. A metal drawer rear wall has at opposite ends thereof respective bent webs, each having an upper hook and a lower positioning lug. The hooks of the rear wall are fittable into the upwardly open upper slots of the drawer frames to suspend the rear wall therefrom. The positioning lugs of the rear wall then are fittable into the lower slots of the drawer frames, to prevent vertical displacement of the rear wall relative thereto.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1994Date of Patent: July 23, 1996Assignee: Julius Blum Gesellschaft m.b.H.Inventors: Erich R ock, Fredi Dubach

Patent number: 5395169Abstract: A pull-out guide for a drawer includes a support rail to be mounted on a side of a furniture body or carcass and a pull-out rail to be mounted on the side of the drawer. Guide members such as rollers transmit the load of the drawer and are mounted on the rails. The rollers of the support rail and of the pull-out rail are offset perpendicular to the direction of pulling out the pull-out rail relative to the support rail. The pull-out rail thus is guided on two tracks. The pull-out rail has at least one horizontal tab which projects below a running web of the support rail and forms a lift protection preventing the pull-out rail from being lifted off the support rail.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 1994Date of Patent: March 7, 1995Assignee: Julius Blum Gesellschaft m.b.H.Inventors: Erich Rock, Fredi Dubach

Patent number: 4553483Abstract: A worktable, especially an office table, which includes two side legs, at least one support bar which connects these legs, and a table-top. Also provided are rigidly interconnected support, connecting and fastening structures which permit different height positions and inclinations of the table-top with the aid of simple tools. The connecting, support, and fastening structures save space, and give the table the necessary stability and freedom from vibration. For this purpose, the fastening plates have holes which are equally spaced from, and are rotationally symmetrical to, the middle point of the plate. The bars have at least two fastening and support surfaces for the table-top and are eccentrically connected with the fastening plates in such a manner that in different rotary positions of the two plates, the fastening and support surfaces of the bars are located at different levels or height positions. The table legs have threaded holes arranged to correspond with the fastening holes of the plate.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1982Date of Patent: November 19, 1985Assignee: Planmobel Eggersmann GmbH & Co.
