  • Patent number: 4728200
    Abstract: An extension pull-out guide assembly for each side of a drawer includes a pull-out rail fastened to the drawer, a supporting rail on each side of a furniture body and a center rail arranged between the pull-out rail and the supporting rail. A runner roller is mounted on the center rail. The supporting rail has stop members for the runner roller of the center rail to limit the extracting movement of the center rail. The stop members hold the runner roller of the center rail in clamping arrangement between a first passable stop member that can be overrun and a second unpassable stop member. Thus, unintentional displacement of the center rail in the extracted position towards the front as well as towards the rear is prevented.

  • Patent number: 4691408
    Abstract: A furniture hinge includes a hinge arm having a U-shaped profile and being pushable onto a mounting plate. The hinge arm and the mounting plate have lateral projections and recesses which engage one another. The hinge arm can be locked from movement in the direction of displacement by a resilient steel member which is held at the hinge arm by an eccentric for achieving adjustment of the hinge arm in the direction of the depth of the article of furniture. The steel member is formed as an intermediate element which fully supports the hinge arm.

  • Patent number: 4692035
    Abstract: An extension pull-out guide assembly for a drawer includes a supporting rail on the side of the furniture body, a center rail and a pull-out rail on each side of the drawer. The supporting rail has one or two resilient stops of resilient material and a rigid stop which cannot be overrun by a roller of the center rail. A lower horizontal flange of the supporting rail is provided at the outer edge thereof with a vertical flange. An opening is provided in the vertical flange in front of rigid stop. When the center rail is extracted from the supporting rail, the roller is first held by the resilient stop. When the roller is moved past the resilient stop, it comes to rest against the rigid stop. Thus, the center rail cannot be extracted unintentionally from the supporting rail. The roller may, however, be laterally moved through the opening, such that the center rail can be released from the supporting rail.
