[0001] Guide device, oven and method for mounting a pull-out guide
[0002] The present invention relates to a guide device with a side grid that can be fixed to a side wall of an oven muffle, a pull-out guide formed from several rails that can be moved relative to one another, at least one holding device for fixing the pull-out guide to the side grid, which has at least one holder that is preferably releasably fixed to at least one strut of the side grid, and an adapter that is fixed to a rail of the pull-out guide, and a method for mounting a pull-out guide to a side grid.
[0003] EP 2 254 443 A1 discloses a telescopic drawer guide comprising a fixed guide rail that can be secured to a furniture body by fastening elements. The fastening elements can have an angle such that the drawer guide is fixed to one leg and the other leg to a body.
[0004] For mounting a pull-out guide to a side rack in an oven, EP 2 313 693B1 discloses quick-release fastening elements that are fixed to the stationary rail. EP 3 599 424 A1 discloses a guide device with two brackets on a rail of the pull-out guide, each comprising a rotary lock. By turning the rotary lock, the pull-out guide can be fixed to two bars of a side rack. While this enables simple installation, the fastening cannot be used flexibly for different side racks. The side racks in ovens have different cross-sections, wire thicknesses, lengths and bar layouts, as well as bar spacing, so that despite the simple installation, a separate fastening mechanism for securing a pull-out guide must be provided for each side rack.
[0005] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a guide device and a method for mounting a pull-out guide on a side rail that allows flexible adaptation to differently designed side rails and ensures effective installation. This object is achieved with a guide device having the features of claim 1 and a method for mounting having the features of claims 13 and 14.
[0006] The guide device according to the invention comprises a side grid that can be secured to a side wall of an oven muffle, a pull-out guide formed from a plurality of rails that can be moved relative to one another, at least one holding device for securing the pull-out guide to the side grid, which has at least one holder that is preferably releasably secured to at least one strut of the side grid, and an adapter that is fixed to a rail of a pull-out guide, wherein the adapter is fixed to the holder via a plug-in connection. The holding device thus comprises at least two parts, namely the adapter fixed to the rail of the pull-out guide and the at least one holder that is preferably releasably fixable to the side grid, which are fixed to one another via a plug-in connection.This allows the drawer guide to be connected to the adapter and flexibly attached to different side rails. Only the bracket is designed to be attached to the respective side rail, eliminating the need to adapt the entire assembly, consisting of the drawer guide and bracket, to the geometry of the side rail. This allows for flexible installation, and the same drawer guide can be easily mounted on different side rails. To prevent the plug-in connection from accidentally coming loose, additional locking elements, such as pins, screws, or clamps, can be used.
[0007] Preferably, the adapter is secured via the plug-in connection with a clamping or locking mechanism. This allows the plug-in connection to be installed without tools, simply by clamping or locking it in place without any additional fastening elements. The adapter and the holder can be connected together using mechanical means, preferably for a detachable connection, such as hooks, bars, clamping elements, or other plug-in fastening elements.
[0008] The adapter can be secured to the holder, preferably in different positions, via the plug-in connection. This allows for different lengths of drawer slides to be attached to a side rail, or the same drawer slide to side rails with different lengths of horizontal struts. Depth and / or width adjustment can thus be achieved via the plug-in connection, which allows the adapter to be mounted to the holder in different positions.
[0009] Alternatively or additionally, the holder can be designed so that it can be fixed in different positions on the side rail, particularly in the area of cross-sectional changes and / or bends. This can be achieved, for example, by means of recesses or locking elements.
[0010] Each side rail may comprise at least two vertical posts and a plurality of horizontal struts that are rigidly connected to one another or formed integrally with one another. The posts and struts are preferably made of a metallic wire, in particular a round wire, and welded together.
[0011] To ensure stable fixation by the plug-in connection, it preferably comprises a tab that can be pushed and / or pivoted into a receptacle. The tab can be formed integrally with the holder or the adapter. The holder and / or the adapter can be made, for example, from a bent metal sheet, wherein the receptacle can be created by an opening or embossing. The receptacle is preferably formed by providing at least one punched and bent web so that the tab can be inserted into a slot-shaped receptacle between the web and the remaining metal sheet. Such a web can, for example, be designed as a bridge web that is connected to the metal sheet at both ends so that it protrudes from the plane of the metal sheet in the form of a bridge and forms a receptacle for inserting the tab.Instead of a bridge bridge, one or more individual bridges, in particular hook-shaped bridges, can be used to form a receptacle.
[0012] For effective installation of the plug-in connection, the tab can be inserted into the receptacle vertically and / or horizontally relative to the installed position. Installation can be carried out either by first establishing the plug-in connection between the adapter and the holder, and then mounting the unit consisting of the drawer runner and retaining device to the side rail. Or, the holder can be first secured to a strut of the side rail, and then the unit consisting of the adapter and drawer runner can be pushed or pivoted onto the holder to establish the plug-in connection. In the installed position, the drawer runner is secured to the side rail via the plug-in connection and the holder.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the holder has a plurality of receptacles arranged at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction of the rail. The number of receptacles is preferably greater than the number of tabs on the adapter, so that the adapter can be fixed to the holder in different positions. Alternatively, the number of tabs on the adapter can also be greater than the number of receptacles on the holder. A finer grid of receptacle positions in the adapter and also in the holder would also be conceivable, with the grid dimensions ideally differing from one another to allow for even more flexible positioning of the guide.
[0014] The adapter is preferably welded to the rail or formed integrally with it. The adapter can also be fixed to the rail in a form-fitting or force-fitting manner, for example using clamps or screws. The adapter can comprise a web-shaped or angled metal sheet, which allows either the pull-out guide to be mounted between the struts of a side rail or the pull-out guide to be mounted in a plane laterally spaced from the side rail. The design of the holder, or the combination of the design of the holder and the adapter, can thus determine the positioning of the pull-out guide in the oven, allowing the position to be adjusted to the width of the food supports.If the adapter is designed as a web-shaped metal sheet, it can preferably be designed in such a way that it can be used universally at the front and rear of the pull-out guide and for attachment to the right and / or left side rail.
[0015] Preferably, at least two holding devices are provided along the length of the pull-out guide. A first holding device can be fixed with a holder to an angled end section of a horizontal strut of a side rail, while a second holder is fixed to the same strut on the opposite side at the angled end section. The holders can be mounted on a single horizontal strut of the side rail or on two adjacent struts. Additionally or alternatively, the holder can also be fixed to cross-sectional changes or other bends. To flexibly adjust the position of the pull-out guide, it can be fixed to the holder in different positions along the length of the rails using the adapter. The position of the pull-out guide can therefore be specified both along the length of the rail and perpendicular to the plane of the side rails using the adapter and the holder.
[0016] The guide device is used primarily in an oven, with one guide device preferably arranged on each side of the oven cavity. The term "oven" also includes microwave ovens, combination ovens with microwave function, steam cookers, and other special cooking appliances.
[0017] In the method according to the invention for mounting a pull-out guide to a side rail, at least one adapter is first fixed to a stationary rail of the pull-out guide, and at least one holder is provided that can be fixed to at least one strut of the side rail. Subsequently, either the at least one holder and the at least one adapter are fixed to one another via a plug-in connection, in order to then fix the unit comprising holder, adapter, and pull-out guide to at least one strut of the side rail, or the at least one holder is first fixed to at least one strut of the side rail, in order to then fix the pull-out guide with the adapter to the at least one holder via the plug-in connection. Regardless of the assembly sequence, one and the same pull-out guide can thus be effectively fixed to different side rails, depending on the design of the holder and the position of the plug-in connection.
[0018] The invention is explained in more detail below using several exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. They show:
[0019] Figures 1 to 5 show several views of a first embodiment of the present invention;
[0020] Figures 6 to 11 show several views of a second embodiment of the present invention;
[0021] Figures 12 to 19 show several views of a third embodiment of the present invention; Figures 20 to 24 show several views of a fourth embodiment of the present invention;
[0022] Figures 25 to 29 show several views of a fifth embodiment of the present invention;
[0023] Figures 30 to 34 show several views of a sixth embodiment of the present invention, and
[0024] Figures 35 to 38 show several views of a seventh embodiment of the present invention.
[0025] Figure 1 shows an exploded view of a guide device according to the invention with a pull-out guide 1, which has a stationary rail 6 and a rail 7 that can be moved relative to the stationary rail 6, wherein one or more pull-out-extending center rails can optionally be provided. The pull-out guide 1 is fixed via the guide device to a side grille 2, which has a plurality of horizontal struts 3 that are fixed on opposite sides to vertical posts 4. Each horizontal strut 3 can have an angled end section 5 in at least one end region, as shown in this exemplary embodiment. The horizontal struts 3 and the posts 4 are each made of metallic wires, and the shape of the side grille 2 can vary with regard to the length and shape of the struts 3, the thickness of the wires, or the spacing of the horizontal struts 3.
[0026] The guide device comprises two adapters 10 made of metal angles, wherein a first leg 11 is connectable to the stationary rail 6 of the pull-out guide 1, in particular by welding. The adapter is provided with a second leg 12, which projects substantially downward and on which several tabs 13 are formed, which protrude in a hook-like manner from the plane of the leg 12, so that a receptacle is formed between the tabs 13 and a surface of the leg 12. The tabs 13 are arranged at a distance from one another, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the pull-out guide 1.
[0027] Holders 40 can be fixed to the adapters 10 and can be plugged onto the tabs 13. The holders 40 can in turn be releasably fixed to the side rail 2 in this exemplary embodiment. Figures 2A and 2B show the fixing of the holders 40 to the side rail 2. Each holder 40 comprises an upper clamp 43 which surrounds an upper horizontal strut 3 in a U-shape and a lower clamp which surrounds a lower strut 3 which is arranged at a distance from the upper strut 3. In this exemplary embodiment, a fixing web 44 is formed between the two struts 3, integral with the holder 40 and protrudes above the lower strut 3. A holder 40 can be fixed to each side rail 2 adjacent to the angled end sections 5 of the horizontal struts 3.
[0028] Figure 3 shows one of the holders 40 in detail. The holder 40 comprises an upper receiving channel 41 within the upper clamp 43 and a lower receiving channel 42. An actuating section 46 protrudes obliquely from the lower receiving channel 42, by means of which the holder 40 can be pivoted. Rectangular recesses are provided on a wall between the upper receiving channel 41 and the lower receiving channel 42 as receptacles 45, into which the hook-shaped tabs 13 can be inserted.
[0029] Figures 4A to 4G show the assembly of the guide device in detail. In a first step, as shown in Figure 4A, the angled adapter 10 is welded to the stationary rail 6 of the pull-out guide 1. As a result, as shown in Figure 4B, the leg 12 protrudes downward from the pull-out guide 1. In a next step, the holders 40 are preferably releasably fixed to the adapters 10 by inserting the tabs 13 through the receptacles 45 on the holder 40, in order to then move the holder 40 in the longitudinal direction of the pull-out guide 1, so that the tabs 13 preferably clamp against the wall of the holder 40.
[0030] Figure 4D shows the mounted position of the holders 40 on the adapters 10. It can be seen that the adapters 10 are longer than the holders 40 in the longitudinal direction of the pull-out guide 1 and have a plurality of tabs 13, so that the holders 40 can be fixed in different positions on the pull-out guide 1, depending on the design of the side rail 2. In the illustrated embodiment, assembly is prepared for a side rail 2 that is short in the longitudinal direction of the pull-out guide 1, and the pull-out guide can now be fixed to two horizontal struts 3 of the side rail 2 according to Figure 4E by first inserting an upper strut 3 on the side rail 2 into the upper receiving channel 41. In this obliquely aligned position of the pull-out guide 1, the holder 40 can now be pivoted on the actuating section 46, as shown in Figure 4F.By pivoting, a lower horizontal strut 3 can be inserted into the lower receiving channel 42 so that the lower strut 3 engages between the fixing web 44 and the lower receiving channel 42.
[0031] Figure 4G shows the pull-out guide 1 in its assembled position. The pull-out guide 1 is releasably held on the side rail 2 by two holders 40. Each holder 40 is simultaneously fixed to two horizontal struts 3. In this exemplary embodiment, the holder 40 has an I-shaped recess at the front and rear, in which, for example, bent end sections 5 or cross-sectional changes in the horizontal strut 3 can be accommodated. In this way, forces acting in the longitudinal direction can be absorbed in both directions, and the position of the rear angle is flexible. If the holders have even more of these recesses, the flexibility in the longitudinal direction is further increased, since the holder 40 can be secured at different positions on the horizontal strut 3.
[0032] Figures 5A and 5B show the pull-out guide 1 with the adapters 10 and the holders 40. The holders 40 are held on the downwardly projecting leg 12 of the adapter 10 via the tabs 13, which pass through the receptacles 45. Here, the adapters 40 were not fixed to the middle tabs 13 as shown in Figure 4C, but rather to the outer tabs 13, so that the distance between the holders 40 is greater than in Figure 4B. The pull-out guide 1 was thus prepared for installation on a modified side grille having longer horizontal struts 3. Optionally, the holders 40 can be fixed to the adapter 10 at different stages, particularly if the tabs 13 are manufactured at equal distances. In addition, the holders 40 are fixed on the other side of the adapter 10 in the furnace muffle width direction compared to Figures 4A to 4G.This allows the pull-out guide 1 to be fixed in a different width position on the side rail 2 relative to the horizontal strut 3 extending in the depth direction.
[0033] Figure 6 shows a second embodiment of a guide device. As in the previous embodiment, the guide device comprises a side rail 2 with a plurality of horizontal struts 3, to which a pull-out guide 1 can be preferably releasably fixed. For this purpose, two adapters 20 and 20' are fixed to the stationary rail 6 of the pull-out guide 1. These adapters are made of a flat metal sheet and have embossing and / or punching. Holders 50 can be fixed to the adapters 20 via a plug-in connection, so that the unit comprising the pull-out guide 1, adapters 20 and 20', and the two holders 50 can be preferably releasably fixed to the side rail 2.
[0034] Each adapter 20 and 20' comprises webs 21 that protrude from the plane of the metal sheet, wherein the webs 21 are designed as bridging webs that are connected to the metal sheet at opposite ends. The webs 21 protrude so far beyond the plane of the metal sheet that a slot-shaped receptacle is provided that can be used to fix the holders 50. Each adapter 20 and 20' comprises more than two webs 21, namely three or four webs 21, wherein a holder 50 can only be fixed to two of the webs 21 at a time. This allows adjustment in the longitudinal direction of the rail 6, depending on the position in which the holders 50 are fixed to the webs 21.
[0035] Figure 7 shows a side rail 2 which can be longer in the longitudinal direction of the pull-out guide 1 in order to fix a longer pull-out guide 1. The horizontal struts 3 extend between two spaced posts 4. Such a side rail 2 can also have more than two posts 4. To fix the pull-out guide 1 to the side rail 2 with the longer horizontal struts 3, the holder 50 is fixed to the outer webs 21 of the adapter 20, whereas in Figure 6 the holder 50 can be fixed to the two middle webs 21. Despite the different designs of the side rails 2, the adapters 20 and 20' can remain identical.
[0036] Figures 8A and 8B show the fixation of one of the holders 50 to the side rail 2. Each holder 50 comprises a front-end clamp 51, which can be fixed to and engages around an angled end section 5 of a horizontal strut 3. Furthermore, a further clamp 52 is provided, by means of which a longitudinal section of the horizontal strut 3 is gripped in a U-shape. The horizontal clamp 52 comprises a spring element 53, so that the clamp 52 can be adjusted via the spring element 53 and is thus secured against removal. A tab 54 and 55 is provided on each side of the spring element 53. Figure 9 shows the holder 50 in detail, and it can be seen that the clamps 51 and 52 are each U-shaped and arranged at right angles to one another.The tabs 54 and 55 protrude beyond the clamp 52 with the spring element 53, and are thus arranged at a greater distance from a lower side of the holder 50 in Figure 9 than the upper side of the clamp 52. This allows the two tabs 54 and 55 to be inserted into the receptacles through the webs 21 on the adapters 20 and 20'.
[0037] Figure 10A shows a schematic illustration of the assembly of the guide device. In a first step, the adapters 20 and 20' are fixed, in particular welded, to the underside of the drawer guide 1 in the area of the stationary rail. In a second step, a holder 50 can then be mounted to each of the two adapters 20 and 20' via a plug-in connection.
[0038] In Figures 10B and 10E, the adapters 20 and 20' are already fixed to the drawer guide 1, and it can be seen that the holder 50 is initially arranged at an angle to the drawer guide 1 in order to move a lateral recess 56 on the tab 55 to a circular embossment 22. The assembly of the two holders 50 is identical.
[0039] If the holder 50 is arranged such that the embossed portion 22 engages the recess 56 of the tab 55, the holder 50 can be pivoted about the embossed portion 22, and the recess 56 forms a bearing element. By pivoting, the tab 54 reaches the web 21 and the receptacle formed thereby, so that the tab 54 can be inserted between the metal sheet of the holder 50 and the protruding web 21. Adjacent to the web 21, a spring web 23 is formed, which can be inserted into an opening in the tab 54 in order to lock it in the installed position. Alternatively, the tab 54 can also be spring-loaded and interact with a rigid web. Figures 10D and 10G show the installed position of the holders 50, which are aligned with their longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the pull-out guide 1.Stops 24 can also be provided on the adapters 20 and 20' adjacent to the spring bar 23, which limit the rotational movement of the holder 50. As a result, the holder 50 is precisely positioned on the adapters 20 and 20' after assembly.
[0040] Figure 11 shows the pull-out guide 1 with the adapters 20 and 20', which together with the two holders 50 can now be mounted on a horizontal strut 3 of a side rack 2, as explained above. Figure 12 shows a modified exemplary embodiment in which a pull-out guide 1 is connected to two adapters 20 and 20', which can be secured, preferably detachably, to modified holders 60. While in the exemplary embodiment of Figures 6 to 11 the pull-out guide 1 is arranged in the mounted position in the plane formed by the horizontal struts 3, i.e. positioned vertically above or below the struts 3, the holders 60 can be used to position the pull-out guide 1 in a vertical plane adjacent to the horizontal struts 3, i.e. offset towards the interior when the side rack is mounted in an oven.Each holder 60 can be fixed at different positions of the adapter 20 or 20', depending on the length of the horizontal strut 3 of the side rail and the length of the pull-out guide 1.
[0041] Figures 13A to 13F show the assembly of the guide device. First, the second adapters 20 and 20', which are designed as in the previous embodiment, are fixed to the stationary rail of the pull-out guide 1 so that the position shown in Figure 13B is achieved. Subsequently, the two holders 60 are inserted into the receptacles on the adapters 20 and 20' so that the pull-out guide can be mounted with the holders 60 on a side rail 2. The unit comprising the pull-out guide 1, adapters 20 and 20', and holders 60 is pushed horizontally onto a horizontal strut 3 of the side rail 2 until the holders 50 lock onto the horizontal strut 3. The assembled position of the pull-out guide 1 is shown in Figure 13F.
[0042] In Figures 14A and 14B, it can be seen that the holder 60 is not arranged directly below the pull-out guide 1, but has a section that protrudes laterally beyond the pull-out guide 1. Thus, depending on the design of the holder 50 or 60, the pull-out guide 1 can be positioned either vertically above the horizontal struts 3 or laterally next to the horizontal struts 3, depending on the width of the food supports in an oven.
[0043] Figure 15 shows the holder 60 in detail. The holder 60 comprises a first clamp 61 at one end, which can be fixed to an angled end section 5 of a horizontal strut 3. Furthermore, a second clamp 62 is provided for fastening to a longitudinal section of the horizontal strut 3, on which clamp a spring element 63 is integrally formed, which can be locked to the strut 3. Two tabs 64 and 65 are provided on the holder 60, which project beyond the second clamp 62 and protrude in the opposite direction to the clamp 62. A recess 66 is formed on the tab 65, which can be positioned on a stamping of an adapter 20 or 20'.
[0044] Figures 16A and 16B show the holder 60 in an assembled position. Each holder 60 is fixed to a horizontal strut 3, with the end-face clamp 61 engaging the angled end section 5 of this horizontal strut 3. The clamp 62 engages the longitudinal section of the horizontal strut 3 and is locked there. The two tabs 64 and 65 protrude from the side rail 2.
[0045] Figure 17 schematically shows the assembly of the pull-out guide 1, which is first connected to the two adapters 20 and 20', in particular by welding, after which the two holders 60 are mounted in the desired position on the adapters 20 and 20'. The holders 60 are mounted in a similar manner to the previous exemplary embodiment, wherein first the tab 65 with the recess 66 is inserted into a receptacle provided by one of the webs 21, wherein the tab 65 is pushed into the receptacle such that the recess 66 engages around a circular embossed portion 22 on the adapter 20 or 20'. This position is shown in Figures 18B and 18E.In a next step, the holder 60 can now be pivoted about the axis of rotation formed by the embossing 22, so that the tab 64 is also inserted into a further receptacle by a web 21, wherein an opening is formed on this tab 64, into which a spring web 23 of the adapter 20 or 20' engages in the mounted position. Alternatively, the tab 64 can also be spring-loaded and interact with a rigid web. Stops 24 are also provided on the adapter 20 and 20' adjacent to the spring web 23, which limit any rotational movement of the holder 60. As a result, the holder 60 is precisely positioned on the adapter 20 and 20' after assembly.
[0046] Figure 19 shows the two holders 60 that are attached to the pull-out guide 1 for a relatively short side rail 2. The clamp 62 protrudes laterally from the pull-out guide 1 and can now be attached to the side rail 2, as already shown in Figure 13F. Figure 20 shows a further embodiment of a guide device, in which a side rail 2 with longer horizontal struts 3 is shown, to which a pull-out guide 1 is attached. As in the previous embodiments, flat adapters 20 and 20' are attached to the pull-out guide 1 and can be connected to holders 50' via a plug-in connection. The holders 50' can be attached to different positions of the adapters 20 and 20' depending on the length of the pull-out guide 1 and the length of the horizontal struts 3 of the side rail 2.
[0047] Figure 21 shows one of the holders 50' in detail. Similar to the holder 50 shown in Figure 9, the holders 50' comprise a front-end clamp 51 and a second clamp 52 aligned at an angle thereto for gripping a horizontal strut 3 in a longitudinal region and an angled end section 5. Furthermore, two tabs 54 are provided, which, unlike the holder 50, are intended for a plug-in connection that can be mounted by linear movement.
[0048] In Figure 22, the holder 50' is mounted on a horizontal strut 3, and it can be seen that the spring element 53 is secured to the second clamp 52 behind the horizontal strut 3. The end-side clamp 51 engages around the angled end section 5.
[0049] The mounting of the holders 50' is carried out according to Figure 23 after the adapters 20 and 20' have been fixed to the pull-out guide 1 by a plugging or joining movement.
[0050] In a first step, the adapters 20 and 20' are fixed to the drawer guide 1, as shown in Figures 24A and 24C. The holders 50' are then pushed linearly onto the adapters 20 and 20', with each tab 54 engaging in a receptacle formed by a web 21 protruding from the plane of the metal sheet of the adapters 20 and 20'. The pushing on is carried out until a spring bar 23 on the adapters 20 and 20' engages in an opening of the tab 54. The insertion depth of the tab 54 is limited by stops 24.
[0051] Figure 25 shows a further embodiment of a guide device for fixing a pull-out guide 1 to a side rail 2. Two adapters 20 and 20' in the form of flat metal sheets are again fixed to the pull-out guide 1, said adapters having a plurality of receptacles for fastening holders 60'. The design of a holder 60' is shown in Figure 26. Each holder 60' comprises a front-side clamp 61 for gripping around an angled end section 5 and a second clamp 62 for gripping around a horizontal strut 3. The holder 60' differs from the holder 60 in the two tabs 64, which are provided for joining.
[0052] Figure 27 shows the side rail 2, to which only the two holders 60' are mounted. For clarity, the adapters 20 and 20' and the pull-out guide are not shown in this view. The two clamps 61 and 62 engage around a horizontal strut 3, with the two tabs 64 protruding from the plane formed by the struts 3. The advantageous assembly sequence for this embodiment first provides for the adapters 20 and 20' to be fixed to the rail 6 of the pull-out guide 1. Then the holders 60' are connected to the adapters 20 and 20' at the desired position. In the final step, the unit is fixed to the side rail 2.
[0053] In Figures 28A and 28B, the pull-out guide 1 has been connected to the brackets 60', with the side rail 2 not shown. It can be seen that the pull-out guide 1 is arranged above the tabs 64, but the two clamps 61 and 62 are provided next to the pull-out guide, so that the pull-out guide 1, in the assembled position, is arranged next to the horizontal struts 3 of the side rail 2.
[0054] Figures 29A to 29E show the assembly of the guide device. The two adapters 20 and 20' are fixed to the pull-out guide 1. In the next step, the holders 60 are mounted in the desired receptacles by the webs 21, depending on the length of the pull-out guide 1 and the length of the horizontal struts of the side rail 2. The tabs 64 are inserted into the receptacles formed by the webs 21. Upon insertion, the spring webs 23 on the adapters 20 and 20' can then snap into the openings of the tabs 64. Here, too, the tabs 64 can alternatively be spring-loaded and the webs rigid. Furthermore, the insertion depth can be limited by stops on the adapters 20 and 20'. The stops can also form a stop to prevent the holder 60' from rotating relative to the pull-out guide 1.This results in the position shown in Figure 29F, in which the pull-out guide 1 can now be mounted on a side rail 2, as shown in Figure 27. Figure 30 shows a further embodiment of a guide device suitable for mounting on different side rails. On one side, adapters 30 for short horizontal struts 3 are provided, and on the other side, adapters 30 are provided at intervals for long horizontal struts 3. The adapters 30 of the other rail type that are not required for later assembly can also be removed at any time. The guide device comprises a plurality of adapters 30 that can be fixed at different positions on the stationary rail 6 of the pull-out guide 1, in particular by welding. Optionally, fewer adapters 30 can also be mounted, for example only two or only one adapter 30, which then has a greater length.Each adapter 30 is angular and comprises a lower leg 31 that is fixed to an underside of the stationary rail 6. Two openings 32 are cut out on the horizontal leg 31. The adapter 30 further comprises an upwardly projecting leg 33, on which hook-shaped webs 34 are produced by punching and embossing, which form a receptacle. The webs 34 have a free end and are not designed as a bridging web like the web 21, although this is optionally possible. It is also possible to create a bridging web by means of webs 21 that have a free end and point towards one another. Holders 70 can be mounted on the adapters 30, which holders can be fixed on the one hand to a horizontal strut 3 of the side rail 2 and on the other hand can be connected to the adapters 30 by a plug-in connection.
[0055] Figures 31A and 31B show the fixation of a holder 70 to a horizontal strut of the side rail 2. The holder 70 comprises a front-end clamp 71 that engages around an angled end section 5 of the horizontal strut 3. Another clamp 72 engages around a section in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal strut 3. Two spring elements 74 protrude upwards, as well as a wall or tab 75 with an opening 76. Viewed in the longitudinal direction of the strut 3, the holder 70 is U-shaped due to the spring elements 74 and the tab 75.
[0056] The holder 70 is shown in detail in Figures 32A and 32B. A spring element 73 is formed on the clamp 72, which can be fastened to a horizontal strut 3. The spring elements 74 and the tab 75 are formed by a separate component that is fixed to the clamp 72, for example by welding. Optionally, the spring elements 74 and the tab 75 can also be formed integrally with the holder 70. As shown in this exemplary embodiment, the holder 40, 50, 50', 60, 60', 70 can consist of two or more parts that are connected to one another by a joining movement. Additionally or alternatively, the adapter 10, 20, 20', 30 can also consist of two or more parts that are connected to one another by a joining movement.
[0057] The assembly of the guide device is explained in more detail in Figures 33A to 33G. In a first step, adapters 30 are mounted on the stationary rail of the drawer guide 1, whereby the upwardly projecting leg of the adapter 30 can be arranged optionally on one or the other side of the drawer guide 1. A holder 70 can then be mounted on each of the adapters 30.
[0058] The mounting of the brackets 70 on the side rail 2 is shown in Figure 33C. The brackets 70 can be slid onto a horizontal strut 3 of the side rail 2, either in the longitudinal direction of a horizontal strut 3 or at an angle thereto. In the mounted position, the end-face clamp 71 engages around the angled end section 5 on the side rail 2, as shown in Figure 33D.
[0059] Figures 33E and 33F show the assembly of the pull-out guide 1 with the adapters 30 when it is plugged onto the holders 70. In the illustrated embodiment, the side rail 2 has rather short horizontal struts 3, so that only the two middle adapters 30 are used to secure the pull-out guide 1. When the plug-in connection is assembled, the tab 75 is pushed into the receptacle formed by the hook-shaped webs 34, whereby a spring web 35 formed on the adapter ensures a locking mechanism when it reaches the opening 76 in the tab 75. On the opposite side of the pull-out guide 1, the two spring elements 74 are inserted into the openings 32 on the leg 31 and clamped there. During insertion, the two V-shaped legs of the spring element 74 press together and thus ensure fastening. Optionally, a locking mechanism can also be provided here.
[0060] Figure 33G shows the mounted position of the pull-out guide 1, which is fixed to a horizontal strut 3 via two holders 70.
[0061] Figures 34A to 34C show the assembly process between holder 70 and adapter 30 in detail. To assemble the plug-in connection, the holder 70 and the drawer guide 1 with the adapter 30 are moved vertically toward each other until the tab 75 of the holder engages the receptacle provided by the webs 34. On the opposite side, the V-shaped spring element 74 is compressed and inserted into the openings 32.
[0062] Figure 35 shows a further embodiment of a guide device in which a pull-out guide 1 is fixed to a side rail 2 with horizontal struts 3. Two adapters 90 are fixed to the stationary rail of the pull-out guide 1 and are connected to holders 80 via a plug-in connection. The holders 80 can be fixed at different positions on the adapters 90 depending on the length of the pull-out guide 1 and the length of the horizontal struts 3 of the side rail 2, since the holders 80 are movable in receptacles on the adapters 90 and can then be clamped in place using a screw 83 or another fastening means.
[0063] As can be seen from the exploded view of Figure 36, each holder 80 comprises a first clamping element 81 and a second clamping element 82, which engage around one or more struts 3 of the side rail 2 and can be flexibly adapted to different wire thicknesses of the struts 3. Each clamping element 81 or 82 has a thickened end section 85 that is inserted into a channel 91. This allows each clamping element 81 and 82 to be flexibly positioned in the longitudinal direction of the respective channel 91. The two clamping elements 81 and 82 have a strip-shaped contact point 86 on the side opposite the end sections 85. The screw 83 can then be used to clamp the first clamping element 81 to the second clamping element 82, so that the two end sections 85 are clamped in the respective channel 91 of the adapter 90.The screw 83 passes through an opening 84 in the second clamping element 82 and is optionally screwed directly to the first clamping element 81 or with a nut behind the first clamping element 81. The screw 83 allows the holder to be easily fixed to side rails 2 with struts 3 of different thicknesses or to struts 3 with different geometries.
[0064] The two clamping elements 81 and 82 can be made from a bent metal sheet, so that the end section 85 is formed by a bend and the contact points 86 by a stepped embossing. Alternatively, the holder 80 with the two clamping elements 81 and 82 can also be formed as a single piece and placed from above onto the struts 3 of the side rail 2. In this case, the clamping elements 81 and 82 are pushed slightly outward. In this variant, the screw 83 would be omitted.
[0065] Figure 37 shows the adapter 90, which is essentially cuboid-shaped with a plurality of channels 91. The number of channels 91 can be greater than the number of clamping elements 81 and 82, so that the end sections 85 can be inserted into different channels depending on the design of the struts 3 of the side rail 2. The channels 91 are each opened via a slot 92, with a central web 93 with a thickened end being provided between the slots 92, so that the end sections 85 are secured against being pulled out through the slot 92. The adapter 90 is fastened to the pull-out guide 1 with a surface 94 on the side facing away from the slots 92.
[0066] In Figure 38, the first clamping element 81 is shown, which has an embossing 87 with an internal thread into which a threaded portion of the screw 83 can be screwed.
[0067] The embodiments described above can be combined with one another as desired. For example, different holders 40, 50, 50', 60, 60', 70, 80 and / or different adapters 10, 20, 20', 30, and 90 can be mounted on a drawer guide 1. Furthermore, the number of adapters 10, 20, 20', 30, and 90 per drawer guide 1 can be varied; a long adapter with a plurality of receptacles can be provided. Optionally, the adapter can also be formed integrally with the stationary rail 6 of the drawer guide 1.
[0068] In addition, different holders 40, 50, 50', 60, 60', 70 and 80 can be combined with each other.
