first embodiment

[0023]FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrate the present invention; in particular FIG. 1 represents a drawer 10 for items of furniture, preferably made of wood or the like, comprising a front panel 11, side walls 12, 13, preferably solid, a bottom 14 and a rear wall 15.

[0024]The front panel 11 is fixed adjustably to the side walls 12, 13 by means of a fixing device, denoted in its entirety by reference number 16, arranged on each side at the inner corners of drawer 10, where each fixing device 16 comprises a first part 17 fixable to a side wall 12, 13 of the drawer 10, a second part 18 fixable to the front panel 11 of the drawer 10 and adjusting means for regulating the vertical position and / or lateral position of the front panel 11 with respect to the side walls 12, 13 of the drawer.

[0025]According to the general idea underpinning the present invention, the first part 17 and / or said second part 18 comprise at least a first and a second element slidably connected with each other according to a sub...

second embodiment

[0038]Alternatively, the second part 18 of the fixing device 16 is fixable to the front panel 11 using fast-connecting means, with no interposing of the base element; for example the second part 18 can include at least one and more preferably two expandable connecting organs, in the form of shanks or the like, expandable by means of a screw or a rotatable command element, which are insertable and anchorable in corresponding holes exhibited in the front panel 11 of the drawer 10. FIGS. 5 and 6 show the invention, in which the same reference numerals are used to denote similar or equivalent parts; in this embodiment, both the vertical adjustment and the lateral adjustment are integrated in the second part 18 of the fixing device 16.

[0039]In particular, as better illustrated in FIG. 6, the second part 18 comprises a first element 43 fixable on an internal side of the front panel 11 of the drawer, a second element 44 connected to an superposed on the first element 43 slidably according ...

third embodiment

[0052]FIG. 10 illustrates the invention in which fast-connecting means are included for fixing the second part 18 of the fixing device 16 to the front panel 11 of the drawer 10.

[0053]In this embodiment, similarly to the solution of FIG. 4, the fixing device 16 comprises a base element 64, for example in the form of a metal plate, fixable by screws or the like on an inner side of the front panel 11, which element 64 exhibits fast-connecting means, for example comprising a first fixed retaining wing 65, engageable in a corresponding opening 66 afforded in the first element 21 of the second part 18 of the fixing device 16, and a rotatable retaining organ 67 having a shaped retaining wing 68 insertable in turn in a corresponding opening 69 afforded in the first element 21 of the second part 18, where the first retaining wing 65 and the rotatable retaining organ 67 are arranged respectively at an opposing lower edge and an upper edge of the base element 64.

[0054]Thanks to the fixing devi...
