A drawer sliding system

Abstract

A drawer sliding system (100) for a drawer (500), comprising a drawer member (200) mountable to the drawer (500) and a rail (300) fixedly mountable to an associated support (600) of a furniture (1000), the drawer member (200) comprises at least one contact surface (212), wherein the drawer member (200) is arranged to be moveable relative to the rail (300), wherein the contact surface (212) and the rail (300) are adapted for together forming a sliding connection between the drawer (500) and the associated support (600) such that the drawer (500) and the drawer member (200) are moveable in relation to the support (600) along the rail (300), wherein at least one drawer sliding system (100) attaches each drawer (500) to the support (600).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to the technical field of drawers and to sliding systems for allowing movement of the drawer in relation to a supporting structure. The invention also relates to a drawer comprising such a system and to a furniture comprising drawers mounted with said sliding system.PRIOR ART[0002]Drawers and chest of drawers are common household items that have existed for a long time. Usually, drawers are mounted to a support structure being a part of a cabinet, a table or some sort of frame etc. To enable smooth and effortless motion of the drawer in relation to the supporting structure are normally some type of guiding system provided. Such guiding systems are most commonly fitted with wheel rollers in cooperation with some sort of rail on the drawer and / or on the supporting structure. Other examples are also known, such as telescope guiding systems but these usually rely on rollers as well to achieve the desired functionality. More recently has...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The drawer sliding system described in the patent improves the durability and stability of the sliding system by adding a stopper member and a wall on the drawer member that facilitates even load distribution and transfer of loads to the rail engagement member. The wall also ensures stability of the drawer by abutting against the side of the drawer. These features make the drawer sliding system more resistant to damage and increased durability.

Problems solved by technology

A common problem with existing solutions is that they are often space consuming, in that they take up relatively large space on the drawer and / or on the supporting structure.

While this often provides benefits in the load capacity of the drawer, this may result in constraints in how the drawer needs to be mounted to the supporting structure.

Additionally, existing guiding systems may in some applications affect the aesthetic appearance a drawer and / or of the supporting structure to which it is mounted.
