  • Publication number: 20040222723
    Abstract: A pull-out guide fitting for drawers comprising a pull-out rail secured to the drawer and a support rail secured to the body of an article of furniture at both sides of the drawer. Arranged between the rails are carriages in which load-transmitting rolling bodies are mounted. Provided on the rails are stops which limit the travel distance of the rails. In addition there is provided at least one fluid damper which in the limit positions of the travel of the drawer damps the impact of a carriage against a stop of the rails. The fluid damper has a cylinder and a piston which is rotatably or linearly displaceable therein.

  • Publication number: 20040104650
    Abstract: The invention refers to a coupling device for a damping element integrated in a pull-out slide set; whereby, it is essential that both a damping device (7) and a coupling device (6) are located between the firmly fixed cabinet rail (2) and the linear-movable drawer rail (5) so that the damping device (7) has at least one cylinder (8) and in it, at least one damped linear-movable piston rod (9) and the damping device (7) is connected by one of its clamping components (8 or 9) with one of the rails (2 or 5) and by its other respective damping part (9 or 8) by means of the coupling device (6) with the other respective rail (5 or 2), can be coupled at times during the closing and opening of the drawer. The advantage is that less manual force is needed for pulling the moveable cabinet component out. Also, it can be more easily adjusted and ensures a longer life span.

  • Patent number: 6736471
    Abstract: A buffer and return device for a slide rail in a drawer attached to an outer rail of the drawer and includes a base, a buffer plunger and an elastic element. The base has a base chamber at a front section thereof. The base chamber has an air passage, a lateral passageway at another section thereof and a bend bottom slot. The buffer plunger has a size corresponding to the base chamber. The elastic element has an end thereof fixed to a front end of the base chamber. The retaining plate has a holding way for a lock piece of an inner rail in the slide rail moveable between a locked and released positions and is connected with the buffer plunger and the elastic element with a lower projection at a bottom thereof for passing through the bottom slot. Once the drawer is pulled outward and then pushed inward, the buffer plunger squeezes the air in the base chamber to forceably discharge via the air passage so as to slowly return the drawer to an initial position.
