  • Patent number: 8016373
    Abstract: A drawer can be displaced relative to a basic furniture structure, via a pull-out guide. The drawer has, on the opposite sides, in each case at least one gearwheel which meshes with a rack, secured on the basic furniture structure, and is coupled to a gearwheel on the opposite side. The racks can be extended in length in each case via a pivotable lever, in order to ensure that the drawer is also guided by the gearwheels in the pulled-out position. A pivotable lever can be disengaged from the meshing gearwheel in order for it to be possible to correct skewed positioning of the drawer. This ensures that the drawer is guided by the gearwheels over its entire displacement path.
