  • Patent number: 11122895
    Abstract: A railing strut includes an end region to be connected to a wall element of the drawer. The railing strut, on the end region, includes a locking device having a locking element to be engaged with the wall element for locking the railing strut. The railing strut further includes a movably mounted actuating element, and the locking element can be moved by applying a force to the actuating element into a release position in which the locking between the railing strut and the wall element can be released when the railing strut is in a locked condition with the wall element. The actuating element, when the railing strut is locked to the wall element, is accessible for manual actuation and can be directly actuated, so that the locking between the railing strut and the wall element can be released by manual actuation of the actuating element.
