  • Publication number: 20130127319
    Abstract: A pull-out guide for drawers, including a body rail, a drawer rail, and a center rail which runs differentially between these two and is guided in two rolling body carriages. The center rail has a toothed wheel and the two rolling body carriages each have one toothed rack that meshes with the toothed wheel. When the pull-out guide is completely pulled out, the drawer rail is pulled out beyond the body rail. Each toothed rack includes a toothed rack end section which projects past the rolling body carriage and meshes with the toothed wheel when the pull-out guide is completely pulled out. The body rail and/or the drawer rail each have a support on which a side of the toothed rack end section facing away from the tooth profile is supported when the pull-out guide is completely pulled out.

  • Publication number: 20130119843
    Abstract: A pull-out guide for drawers or the like, includes a body rail, a drawer rail, and an automatic retraction for retracting the drawer rail into its closed final position. The automatic retraction is fixed to the body rail or drawer rail and has a pivotable coupling element that is guided in a longitudinally displaceable manner and interacts with a catch which is provided on the respective other rail. The automatic retraction and the catch are arranged in a vertical intermediate space, which is formed between a horizontal web of the body rail and a horizontal web of the drawer rail. The automatic retraction housing abuts the horizontal web of that rail to which the automatic retraction is fixed, and the coupling element can be pivoted about a horizontal axis into a locked position.
