Abstract: The invention relates to a preferably hollow metal stock for drawer sides, especially drawer sides, and to a method for the production of such hollow stock. The hollow material has a hollow space which is foam-filled, to improve the properties of the action of a drawer made from the stock by reducing the noise that occurs when a drawer is opened and closed. The strength of the stock is also improved and as is a drawer made from the stock.

Abstract: Corner fastener for the inside end of the runner rail of drawer guides. The corner fastener can be attached to the drawer where the drawer back and drawer side meet, and has clips projecting downward below the drawer bottom to snap onto the associated end of the runner rail. The fastener has a surface which can be laid flat against the drawer back, and it has a flange projecting at right angles between the end face of the drawer back and the confronting area of the drawer side. The flange is provided with means for fastening both to the end face of the drawer back and to the confronting area of the drawer side. These fastening means are constituted for example by studs which can be pressed into associated bores in the end face of the drawer back and in the drawer side.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mounting plate (30) for an adjustable mounting of a hinge supporting arm on a cabinet. The mounting plate is made by punching and pressing operations from sheet metal, of a U-shaped cross section at least in an upper section facing the supporting arm to be mounted thereon. The mounting plate has in its cabinet-interior end area a threaded bore for a screw (38) locking the hinge supporting arm, plus an open-ended longitudinal slot (39) at its end pointing out of the cabinet interior. Along the margins of the web (52) of the mounting plate (30), which laterally define the slot, ridges are raised from the plane of the web (52), and the distance measured from one flat side of the undeformed web to the opposite boundary surface of the upturned ridges is greater than the material thickness of the web (52) in the undeformed area.

Abstract: Cabinet hinge whose mounting plate serving for the adjustable attachment of the carcase-related part of the hinge to the carcase of a cabinet is composed of two parts, i.e., of a bottom plate and a top plate. The bottom plate has in its outer end adjacent the door at least one hook rising from the plane in which it is fastened to the carcase and pointing outwardly, which can engage an associated eye in the bottom of the upper plate. The confronting surfaces of engagement between the hook and the eye are of complementary configuration and at least approximately arcuate with the centers of the arcs coinciding approximately with the center of the angular displacement described by the hinge in the first part of its closing movement relative to the door-related part of the hinge. A spring catch mechanism with a handle is provided in the bottom plate for the purpose of the releasable attachment of the top and bottom plates to one another.
