  • Publication number: 20200305600
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide including a first guide rail and a second guide rail displaceably supported relative to one another in a longitudinal direction of the guide rails between a closed position and an open position. A guide body is supported between the guide rails, and the guide rails are guidable relative to one another in a lateral direction in a mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide by the guide body. At least one of the guide rails includes a protrusion bearing against the guide body in the open position of the guide rails, so that at least in that region, in which the guide body and the protrusion bear against each other, the guide rails are arranged without clearance relative to one another in the lateral direction.

  • Publication number: 20200260868
    Abstract: A securing device includes a furniture fitting premounted on the front panel; a catch device associated with the drawer for receiving the furniture fitting as it is inserted and pulling it automatically towards the drawer; a locking device that prevents the furniture fitting from unintentionally becoming detached from the securing device; and a coupling device for coupling the movement of the locking device to the movement of the catch device. The coupling device includes an adjusting body and an adjusting contour in or on which the adjusting body is or can be arranged. The adjusting body is arranged on the catch device, and the adjusting contour on the locking device, or vice versa, and the adjusting contour is designed such that the movement of the locking device is only temporarily coupled to the movement of the catch device during the insertion of the furniture fitting.

  • Publication number: 20200187649
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide includes a first guide rail, a second guide rail displaceably supported relative to one another, and a running carriage having load-transmitting rolling bodies displaceably arranged between the first guide rail and the second guide rail. The running carriage includes at least two rolling bodies rotatable about a rotational axis, and the at least two rolling bodies—in a view onto a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the guide rails—are arranged so as to be laterally offset to one another. Each of the at least two rolling bodies has a cylindrical form and is rotationally supported about a horizontally extending rotational axis in a mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide, the rotational axes of the at least two rolling bodies are arranged in the same running plane, and the at least two rolling bodies have the same diameter.

  • Publication number: 20200170410
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide includes at least two guide rails displaceably supported relative to one another, and at least one running carriage having load-transmitting rolling bodies. The running carriage is displaceably supported between the at least two guide rails, and the guide rails, upon a movement of the at least one running carriage, adopt a predefined relative position to one another, provided that no malposition of the guide rails to one another is present. A compensation device compensates for a malposition of the guide rails. The compensation device includes an actuating device to be actuated by one of the guide rails, and the actuating device compensates for the malposition upon an actuation. A switching device is provided for switching the actuating device of the compensation device out of engagement with the guide rail if the predefined relative position of the guide rails to another is present.

    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide includes a carcass rail to be fixed to a furniture carcass, at least one extension rail displaceably supported relative to the carcass rail between a closed position and an open position, and a retraction device having at least one force storage member. The extension rail can be retracted into the closed position by a force of the at least one force storage member, and the retraction device, for the most part, is arranged within the extension rail. A functional unit is arranged on a front-end region of the extension rail, and the functional unit and the retraction device are configured as constructional units separate from one another.

  • Patent number: 10568424
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide includes a fastening portion having a vertical limb and a transverse limb protruding from the vertical limb. The transverse limb is connected to a limb of the carcass rail, an extension rail is displaceably supported relative to the carcass rail, and a rolling body is arranged between the carcass rail and the extension rail and is supported on a running limb of the carcass rail and/or the extension rail. The limb of the carcass rail has a first limb portion connected to the transverse limb. A second limb portion of the carcass rail, in an unloaded condition of the drawer pull-out guide, is spaced from the transverse limb by a gap, and can be tilted or bent towards the transverse limb. Therefore, a change of relative position between the running limb and the rolling body can be compensated for, and the gap can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 10362869
    Abstract: A drawer arrangement includes a drawer side wall to be connected to a drawer rail of a drawer pull-out guide, the drawer side wall having a support portion for supporting a drawer bottom, and a drawer pull-out guide having a carcass rail to be fixed to a furniture carcass, a drawer rail to be connected to the drawer side wall, and a central rail displaceable between the carcass rail and the drawer rail. The central rail has a side limb and a transverse limb connected therewith. In the mounted position, the side limb of the central rail, at least over a region, is arranged laterally besides the support portion for the drawer bottom. The transverse limb of the central rail and the carcass rail in the mounted position protrude at least partially below the support portion for the drawer bottom.

  • Patent number: 10327548
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide includes a first rail and a second rail displaceable relative to one another, and a running carriage with a rolling body. The running carriage is displaceably arranged between the first rail and the second rail over a travelling path. A limiting element is arranged on the first rail or on the second rail, and the limiting element limits the travelling path of the running carriage. A damping device is arranged on the running carriage for dampening a movement of the running carriage over a damping path when the running carriage abuts against the limiting element. At the end of a maximum damping path of the running carriage, a stop of the first rail and a counterstop of the second rail abut against each other and thereby stop a movement of the second rail relative to the first rail.

  • Patent number: 10143303
    Abstract: A drive mechanism for a movable furniture part, in particular a drawer, has a first and a second lockable pushing-out mechanism and a synchronizing mechanism for synchronizing the two pushing-out mechanisms. The synchronizing mechanism has a synchronizing rod and a first and a second synchronizing element which can be connected to the synchronizing rod, and relative movement takes place between the synchronizing elements and the pushing-out mechanisms during synchronizing operation. In an active synchronizing mode, during synchronizing operation, movement is transmitted from the first pushing-out mechanism, via the first synchronizing element, the synchronizing rod and the second synchronizing element, to the second pushing-out mechanism. In an inactive synchronizing mode, the synchronizing rod is removed and the synchronizing elements each remain in contact with one of the pushing-out mechanisms.

  • Patent number: 9894992
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide includes a carcass rail to be fixed to a furniture carcass, an extension rail displaceable relative to the carcass rail between a closed position and an open position, and a rolling body and a supporting body movable along a running limb of the carcass rail and a running surface of the extension rail upon a movement of the extension rail. A clearance is formed on the running limb of the carcass rail and/or on the running surface of the extension rail. The rolling body is accommodated within the clearance in the closed position of the extension rail and is thereby relieved from the load of the extension rail so that, in the closed position of the extension rail, the load of the extension rail is carried by the supporting body. Furthermore, rolling body and the supporting body are arranged in a common running carriage.
