Abstract: A guide rail assembly is used with a drawer to guide the movement of the drawer into and out of an article of furniture. The assembly has a supporting rail attached to a supporting surface and a pull-out rail attached to the drawer. At least one carriage is positioned between the supporting rail and the pull-out rail, and the supporting rail and the pull-out rail have stops for limiting movement of the pull-out rail and the carriage with respect to the supporting rail. A spring is loaded as the drawer is moved to the drawer-open position and actuated when the drawer is moved toward the drawer-close position. The noise associated with closing the drawer as it is pulled by the spring is controlled and suppressed by a shock absorbing device formed by a plunger and plunger-receiving cylinder.

Abstract: A face frame snap-on hinge for adjustably supporting a door on an associated frame utilizes a hinge cup inserted within a bore provided in the interior side of the door. A hinge pin is mounted inside the hinge cup and pivotally connects with one end of a hinge arm. The other end of the hinge arm forms a connecting and release mechanism for the door. A base plate is adjustably connected to preferably the frame and an adjusting member is fastened to the base plate. A camming screw is associated with the adjusting member and the base plate to permit the adjustment of the door with the frame while the hinge arm and base plate remain connected. The door and frame can be adjusted by two independent procedures, both of which permit adjustment to be made without separating the door from the frame.
