Abstract: A modular ball bearing retaining cage and a slide guide employing such a cage are disclosed. The cage includes a bridge part having opposed end parts spaced by a mid-section and module strips that are connected to the end parts. Each module strip includes one or more guide strip modules. At least some of the guide strip modules include ball bearings disposed in openings provided in respective guide strip modules. The end parts and the guide strip modules have cooperative coupling elements that permit coupling therebetween. The module strips are disposed in guide tracks defined by walls of inner and outer profiles of the slide guide and the ball bearings run within the guide tracks to allow extension of the inner profile with respect to the outer profile. Stop modules may be coupled to the module strips via coupling elements to limit relative travel of the profiles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tilt prevention assembly for a series of drawers in a tool cabinet, comprising a frame which, when in use, is connected to the tool cabinet, as well as a securing member pivotably mounted to the frame, which securing member is pivotable between a securing position in which the securing member forms an obstruction for the movement of the closed drawers, and between a releasing position in which a drawer is moveable at least to an extended position. The tilt prevention assembly also comprises an actuator member that is arranged for pivoting the securing member under the influence of the movement of the drawers to the securing position or the releasing position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a guide, comprising a first (1) and a second (2) guide profile, each guide profile having a longitudinal direction, where the first guide profile extends at least partly within the second guide profile, the longitudinal direction of the guide profiles being parallel to each other, wherein on two opposite sides, parallel to the longitudinal directions guide tracks (9) are formed between wall parts of the first and second guide profiles, a ball guide strip (13) being included in each of the guide tracks, each guide strip comprising a strip having a longitudinal direction and a series of openings (22) spaced apart in said longitudinal direction of the strip, balls (8) being provided in the openings which run on said wall parts forming the tracks, wherein at least one bridge part (14) is provided between the two guide strips, connecting the guide strips such that they are prevented from movement relative to each other.

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.

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.

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.
