  • Patent number: 6296338
    Abstract: A telescopic rail includes a first section and at least a second section with intermediate bearings. The second section may be adjusted with respect to the first section in the longitudinal direction between a retracted and an extended position. On the first section, a blocking unit is provided for blocking the freedom of movement of the second section with respect to the first section at least in the extended position. The blocking unit includes a swivel body controllable by at least one operating part extending at least partially between the relevant sections. The swivel body is placed in a first position between the first and second sections and can be moved into a second blocking position by the operating part or parts. The swivel body may extend, by a blocking part thereof, at least partially through an opening into or behind an edge of the second section.

  • Patent number: 6280086
    Abstract: A telescopic rail comprising at least two substantially C-shaped sections of which a first section (1) is slidably mounted in a second section (2) with interposition of a first ball cage (3), whereby a stop block (5) is positioned in said second section, in front of the first ball cage seen in the direction of extension of the rail, the stop block having first resilient means (9) near the side facing the first ball cage which can be brought into contact with a first inward facing projection (18) on the first section upon extension of the rail, and second resilient means (8) on the opposite side of the stop block which can be brought into contact with a second inward facing projection (17) on the first section upon retraction of the rail, the first (18) and second (17) projections being located on opposite sides of the first ball cage when the rail is fully retracted, the first projection being movable past the first ball cage.

  • Patent number: 6231143
    Abstract: A drawer guide of the over-extendible type, including a movement-control element or elements for controlling the movements of the sections of the drawer guide relative to one another. During operation, the movement-control element or elements remain in connection with multiple sections of the drawer guide. Movements of the control element or elements are dynamically coupled, in such a manner that control is maintained during the complete path of movement of the sections of the drawer guide.
