Patent number: 10321760Abstract: A full pull-out guide for furniture parts, in particular for drawers, with a lower structural height, and including a body rail that can be attached to a stationary furniture part, a running rail that can be attached to a movable furniture part, a middle rail, an inner running path arranged between the body rail and the middle rail, on which a plurality of first force-transferring elements are movably arranged, and an outer running path arranged between the middle rail and the running rail, on which a plurality of second force-transferring elements are arranged. Due to the horizontal displacement of the outer first force-transferring element, the structural height of the full pull-out direction can be reduced. Furthermore, the horizontal displacement of the outer first force-transferring element in relation to other force-transferring elements has the effect that the contact surface to the rails exists in different vertical planes.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: REME-Moebelbeschlaege GmbHInventor: Bruno Meier
