  • Patent number: 4037885
    Abstract: A withdrawal guide for drawers in which one support rail is provided at each side of the fixed frame or supporting structure, and one guide rail is present on the drawer. Rollers transmit the vertical forces occurring between the guide rail and the support rail, and the rollers are supported in a roller carrier in the form of a mobile unit. At least one compensating roller is provided in the mobile unit, and the axis of rotation of this compensating roller is normal to the axis of rotation of the rollers. When assembled, the compensating roller runs on the vertical track of the support rail and the guide rail respectively. The compensating roller is held only on its peripheral area without an axle being free to move in radial direction to a predetermined degree. Pegs prevent the compensating roller from falling out of the carrier when the drawer guide rail is pulled out of the support rail.
