Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a locking configuration for a furniture or household appliance, which includes an adapter or a thrust element, or drawer, with a pullout guide. The locking configuration allows for a simplified installation of the adapter or thrust element on the pullout guide and ensures secure locking. The invention provides a locking configuration with a receptacle opening that allows for the insertion of a hook and a detent lug that is lockable in the recess, ensuring secure locking. The invention also includes a holding web for holding a container between two pullout guides and a slide rail to be locked with the adapter. The technical effects of the invention include a simplified installation process, fewer work steps, and secure locking of the adapter or thrust element.

Problems solved by technology

Such a locking configuration, or locking arrangement, has the disadvantage that many work steps are required for installing the adapter on the slide rail, for which various tools must be used.
