Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a drawer side wall for pulling out, which has a hollow profile and a connecting device for removably connecting a front plate to the drawer side wall. The connecting device is arranged inside the hollow profile at least in a predetermined region, and the connecting device has at least one connecting device for removably connecting the drawer side wall to a pulling rail of a pulling guide for pulling out.

[0002] Furthermore, the present invention relates to an assembly comprising at least one drawer side wall, preferably two drawer side walls, in the described form, and at least one front plate.

[0003] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for connecting a drawer side wall in the described form to a pulling rail of a pulling guide for pulling out.

[0004] EP 0740917 A1 discloses a drawer side wall made of a hollow profile, which is provided with a connecting device for removably connecting a front plate. This connecting device has a spring-loaded tilting lever that can be releasably locked to a holding member to be attached to the front plate.

[0005] DE 20 2007 001 782 U1, DE 94 01 168 U and DE 94 19 610 U disclose drawer side walls with a connecting device that can be connected to a front plate of a drawer and to a pullable running rail of a pulling guide for pulling out. The disadvantage of this structure is that the connecting device has to be accurately introduced in a targeted manner in order to connect it to the pulling rail of the pulling guide, in which case a considerable frictional resistance has to be overcome for connecting and disconnecting the pulling rail.

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide an improved drawer side wall that can avoid the above-mentioned drawbacks and can be configured more compactly, more simply, and more inexpensively.

[0007] According to the present invention, this object is solved by the features of claim 1. Further embodiments of the present invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0008] According to the present invention, it is specified that at least one connecting device has at least one connecting lever that can be swiveled or bent and / or at least one connecting element that can be detachably connected to the connecting lever for detachably connecting to the drawer rail of the drawer guide for the drawer.

[0009] Thereby, the force required for connection and disconnection can be significantly reduced, and the operation can be made easier for a person. In particular, thereby, a person can intentionally connect and disconnect the drawer rail.

[0010] In other words, the drawer side wall is provided with a connecting device that can be detachably connected to the front plate of the drawer and can be detachably connected to the drawer rail of the drawer guide for the drawer.

[0011] Therefore, the function for attaching the front plate and the function for connecting the drawer side wall to the drawer rail of the drawer guide are combined to form one common structural unit. In this case, there is no need to provide two separate structural units for fulfilling these functions. Therefore, the common structural unit of the connecting device can be configured more compactly, more simply, and more inexpensively.

[0012] Further details and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the drawings.

[0014] FIG. 1a shows a perspective view of the drawer 1, which has a drawer side wall 2, a front plate 3 to be connected to the drawer side wall 2, a drawer bottom surface 4, and a back wall 5.

[0015] The drawer side wall 2 has one connecting device 6 each for connecting the front plate 3 to the drawer side wall 2, preferably removably. The drawer side wall 2 preferably has one hollow profile 8 each made of metal, and the connecting device 6 can be arranged at least in a predetermined area, preferably substantially completely, inside the hollow profile.

[0016] The drawer side wall 2 has an end face 7 facing the front plate 3, and the connecting device 6 is in contact with at least a predetermined area of the back surface of the front plate 3 facing the drawer side wall 2 in the connected state between the drawer side wall 2 and the front plate 3.

[0017] The drawer 1 is supported so as to be movable relative to a furniture cabinet (not shown here) via a drawer guide 9 for the drawer. The drawer guide 9 for the drawer includes a cabinet rail 10 to be attached to the furniture cabinet and at least one drawer rail 11 movable relative to the cabinet rail 10. The drawer 1 can be removably connected to the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9 via a connecting device 18 (FIG. 2a) not yet described.

[0018] Drawer 1 includes at least one back wall 5 arranged parallel to the front plate 3. The drawer side wall 2 may have at least one back wall holder 12, through which the back wall 5 is preferably removably connectable to the drawer side wall 2.

[0019] Figure 1b shows an enlarged view of the area enclosed by the frame in Figure 1a.

[0020] Figure 1c shows a holding member 13 that can be attached to the back of the front plate 3, for example, via screws 14 and / or dowels.

[0021] Figure 1d shows the holding member 13 attached to the back of the front plate 3. The connecting device 6 can advantageously have a locking device 29 (Figure 5), by which the holding member 13 can be removably locked to the drawer side wall 2.

[0022] Figure 2a shows a perspective view of the drawer side wall 2 seen from above, in which case the drawer side wall 2 is removably connectable to the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9 via a connecting device 18. The connecting device 18 includes, in the illustrated embodiment, a connecting element 18a arranged on the drawer side wall 2, which connecting element is removably connectable to the connecting lever 18b of the drawer rail 11. The non-connected state between the connecting element 18a and the connecting lever 18b is shown in the illustrated Figure 2a.

[0023] The connecting device 18 with the connecting element 18a and the connecting device 6 for connecting the front plate 3 to the drawer side wall 2, preferably removably, together form one common structural unit.

[0024] The connecting lever 18b for removably connecting to the connecting element 18a is supported on the drawer rail 11 so as to be bendable or rotatable about an axis extending in the vertical direction in the assembled position.

[0025] The drawer guide 9 for pulling out may have a height adjustment device 17 with a movable operating element 17a, and the height position of the drawer 1 can be adjusted by operating the operating element 17a relative to the drawer rail 11.

[0026] A hook 15 is provided in the area behind the drawer rail 11. This hook is arranged at a predetermined interval from the upper surface of the drawer rail 11 and extends in the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2. When the drawer side wall 2 is assembled, the hook 15 is accommodated in the hole 16 of the back wall holder 12. The hook 15 defines the position behind the drawer 1 on the drawer rail 11. Further, the area behind the drawer 1 can be stabilized in a direction extending transversely to the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2 by the hook 15 engaged in the hole 16.

[0027] FIG. 2b shows an enlarged view of the area surrounded by the frame in FIG. 2a. According to one embodiment, it may be specified that the drawer side wall 2 is formed substantially in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped and / or substantially square when viewed in a transverse plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2.

[0028] The connecting device 6 for removably connecting to the front plate 3 includes a connecting device 18, by which the drawer side wall 2 can be removably connected to the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9 for pulling out.

[0029] In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting device 18 has at least one connecting element 18a arranged on the drawer side wall 2, and this connecting element can be removably connected to the connecting lever 18b.

[0030] The connecting element 18a has, in the figure shown, a contact surface 19, a first stopper surface 20a extending in the longitudinal direction L, and / or a second stopper surface 20b extending transversely to the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2.

[0031] In the illustrated configuration, the contact surface 19 is formed to contact the drawer side wall 2, the first stopper surface 20a is formed to contact the vertical web 23 of the drawer rail 11, and the second stopper surface 20b is formed to contact the connecting lever 18b. The drawer 1 can occupy various depth positions in a locked state with the drawer rail 11 by a plurality of locking surfaces 22 displaced in the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2. Thereby, the front surface of the front plate 3 can be aligned in substantially one common plane with the adjacent front plates.

[0032] Of course, kinematically conversely, the connecting lever 18b may be arranged on the connecting device 6 of the drawer side wall 2, and the connecting element 18a may be arranged on the drawer rail 11.

[0033] Furthermore, the connecting element 18a has at least one inclined surface 20c. By this inclined surface, the connecting lever 18b can be displaced in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2 against the spring force when connecting the drawer side wall 2 to the drawer rail 11. After displacement, the connecting lever 18b can be automatically locked with the connecting element 18a by the generated spring force.

[0034] According to an embodiment, it may be specified that the drawer side wall 2 has a groove 24 for accommodating the edge of the drawer bottom surface 4 extending in the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2. The groove 24 may have an upper holding web 24a and a lower holding web 24b spaced apart from and extending substantially parallel to the upper holding web, and the edge of the drawer bottom surface 4 can be arranged between these webs.

[0035] Preferably, at least one side surface of the drawer side wall 2 is formed from an integral sheet metal piece, and it may be specified that the groove 24 together with both holding webs 24a, 24b is formed by bending in the sheet metal piece.

[0036] Figure 3a shows the connection of the drawer side wall 2 at another position of the drawer side wall 2 relative to the drawer rail 11.

[0037] By covering and fitting the drawing side wall 2 onto the drawing rail 11 of the drawing guide 9 for drawing, the connecting lever 18b is pivoted in a plane extending parallel to the running plane of the drawing rail 11 by the cooperation of both inclined surfaces 20c and 21, and at this time, a accumulator for applying a force to the connecting lever 18b can be charged.

[0038] The front end portion of the drawing rail 11 preferably has a web 11a that descends forward, and it can be seen that this web is slidably guided within the guide 25 of the connecting lever 18b. By the web 11a engaging within the guide 25, the connecting lever 18b can be accurately guided in the lateral direction.

[0039] Figure 3b shows the locked position between the drawing side wall 2 and the drawing rail 11. As the drawing side wall 2 continuously moves towards the drawing rail 11, the connecting lever 18b can be detachably connected to the connecting element 18a by the force of the relaxed accumulator. In the connected position, the first stopper surface 20a of the connecting element 18a contacts the vertical web 23 of the drawing rail 11, thereby stabilizing the drawing side wall 2 in a direction extending transversely to the longitudinal direction L.

[0040] The connecting lever 18b can have, for example, a gripping portion 26 formed for manual operation, and by the gripping portion, the connection between the drawing side wall 2 and the drawing rail 11 can be released. By manually operating the gripping portion 26 against the spring force of the connecting lever 18b, the connection between the drawing side wall 2 and the drawing rail 11 can be released again.

[0041] Figure 4a shows the connected position between the connecting lever 18b and the connecting element 18a in a perspective view. In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting element 18a is arranged on the base body 6a of the connecting device 6, and this base body 6a can be arranged in the front region of the drawing side wall 2.

[0042] The connecting lever 18b having the locking surface 22 is supported by the bending joint 27, which forms a power accumulator for applying a force to the connecting lever 18b in this embodiment.

[0043] The connecting lever 18b includes a guide 25 for linearly guiding the web 11a of the drawer rail 11 that extends transversely to the longitudinal direction L. The connecting lever 18b can be connected to the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9 for drawing via at least one mounting section 28.

[0044] Figure 4b shows a cross-section of the connecting lever 18b arranged on the drawer rail 11. The downwardly sloping web 11a of the drawer rail 11 can be seen, and in this case, the connecting lever 18b is slidably guided in a direction extending transversely to the longitudinal direction L via the web 11a that engages within the guide 25.

[0045] Figure 5 shows an exploded view of a possible embodiment of the connecting device 6. The connecting device 6 preferably has a base body 6a made of plastic, which can be arranged inside the hollow profile 8 of the drawer side wall 2. It can be seen that the connecting element 18a of the connecting device 18 is arranged on or within the base body 6a of the connecting device 6.

[0046] The connecting device 6 has a groove 24 that extends in the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2, and the edge of the drawer bottom surface 4 can be arranged within this groove.

[0047] According to a preferred embodiment, the connecting device 6 - has at least one locking device 29 that can be releasably locked to at least one holding member 13 to be attached to the front plate 3, and preferably this locking device 29 has at least one locking element 29a that is preferably spring-loaded and / or slidably supported, and / or - having at least one adjusting device 31 for adjusting the position of the front plate 3 relative to the drawer side wall 2 in at least one direction, preferably transversely to the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2, preferably this at least one adjusting device 31 having at least one eccentric 32, and / or - being substantially completely received inside the drawer side wall 2 when assembled to the drawer side wall 2, except for the connecting device 18, and / or - having a base body 6a, preferably in this case the base body 6a being formed from plastic and / or being substantially L-shaped may be specified.

[0048] In the illustrated embodiment, the locking device 29 has a locking element 29a biased by a spring element 29b, this locking element having a notch 30 formed to receive the pin 13a of the holding member 13. When introducing the pin 13a into the notch 30, the locking element 29a is moved upwards by the inclined surface 33 against the force of the spring element 29b, and then the pin 13a can be locked within the notch 30.

[0049] The adjusting device 31 may have a rotatable adjusting element 31a with at least one eccentric 32 that can be arranged between two lateral webs of the holding member 13 extending parallel to each other. By rotation of the adjusting element 31a, the holding member 13 (and thus the front plate 3) is adjustable relative to the base body 6a in a lateral direction.

[0050] Figure 6a shows a perspective view from below of the drawer side wall 2 provided with the hollow profile 8. In the view shown, the holding member 13 to be attached to the front plate 3 is locked to the locking device 29 of the connecting device 6.

[0051] FIG. 6b shows an enlarged view of the area surrounded by the frame in FIG. 6a, and this figure shows in detail the front end region of the drawer side wall 2. The connecting element 18a of the connecting device 18 is provided for a detachable connection with the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9 for drawing.

[0052] The locking element 29a of the locking device 29 protrudes downward from the drawer side wall 2, and the lock between the holding member 13 and the locking element 29a can be released by applying pressure to the locking element 29a.

[0053] The adjusting element 31a of the adjusting device 31 has a receiving portion for a tool, and the position of the holding member 13 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting element 31a in a direction extending transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2.

[0054] FIGS. 7a to 7c show the releasable lock between the holding member 13 to be attached to the front plate 3 and the connecting device 6 in temporally consecutive steps.

[0055] FIG. 7a shows the holding member 13 provided with the pin 13a, and this pin can be releasably locked to the locking element 29a of the locking device 29 when the holding member 13 is inserted.

[0056] FIG. 7b shows that when the pin 13a collides with the inclined surface 33 of the locking element 29a, the locking element 29a is moved against the force of the spring element 29b. The spring element 29b can be formed as a compression spring. That is, thereby, the locking element 29a is moved upward against the force of the spring element 29b.

[0057] FIG. 7c shows that the pin 13a of the holding member 13 is locked by the force of the relaxed spring element 29b, and at this time, the pin 13a of the holding member 13 is present inside the notch 30 of the locking element 29a in the locked state.

[0058] Figure 8a shows another embodiment of the drawer side wall 2 connected to the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9 for extraction via the connecting device 18.

[0059] The cabinet rail 10 of the drawer guide 9 for extraction has a mounting section 10a by which the cabinet rail 10 can be attached to a furniture cabinet.

[0060] In the connected state, the drawer side wall 2 is arranged between the mounting section 10a of the cabinet rail 10 and the vertical leg 23 of the drawer rail 11.

[0061] In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting device 6 has a connecting device 18 with a pivotable connecting lever 18b that can be removably connected to the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9 for extraction.

[0062] Figure 8b shows an enlarged view of the area enclosed by a circle in Figure 8a. The connecting lever 18b is pivotably supported on the drawer side wall 2 about an axis 34 (Figure 9) extending in the vertical direction and protrudes laterally from the inner side surface of the drawer side wall 2.

[0063] The connecting lever 18b can have two or more locking surfaces 22 arranged offset from each other in the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2. By providing different locking surfaces 22, the drawer side wall 2 can be locked with respect to the drawer rail 11 at two or more different depth positions. Thereby, the depth position of the drawer 1 can also be aligned with respect to the furniture cabinet. It can be seen that one of the locking surfaces 22 abuts against the edge 23a of the vertical web 23 of the drawer rail 11.

[0064] Figure 9 shows an exploded view of an embodiment of the connecting device 6 of the drawer side wall 2 according to FIGS. 8a and 8b. In this embodiment, the connecting lever 18b is pivotally supported on the base body 6a, preferably on the lower surface of the base body 6a, about the axis 34. The connecting lever 18b can be biased by a spring 35 that can push the connecting lever 18b in the direction of the connecting position.

[0065] For other functions of the connecting device 6, reference is made to the embodiment according to FIG. 5.

[0066] FIG. 10a shows a perspective view of the connecting device 6 according to FIG. 9 as seen from below. The connecting lever 18b is pivotally supported about the axis 34 and is pushed in the direction of the connecting position by the spring 35. The spring 35 can be formed, as shown, by the material elasticity of a plastic member or alternatively by a mechanical spring element (such as a tension spring, a compression spring or a torsion spring). For reasons of clarity, the drawer rail 11 is not shown.

[0067] FIG. 10b shows an enlarged view of the area enclosed by the frame in FIG. 10a, and the connecting lever 18b is in the unlocked position.

[0068] FIG. 10c shows the connecting lever 18b in the connecting position brought about by the force of the spring 35.

[0069] FIGS. 11a to 11d show the connecting process of the connecting device 6 according to FIGS. 10a to 10c in steps that are temporally continuous.

[0070] Figure 11a shows a connecting lever 18b that is pivotally supported on a base body 6a about an axis 34 and is pushed in the direction of a connecting position by a spring 35. The connecting lever 18b is to be connected to a drawer rail 11 of a drawer guide 9 for pulling. In this case, the drawer rail 11 has a vertical web 23 and an edge 23a for abutting against the connecting lever 18b. Further, the drawer rail 11 has a stopper 36, by which the connecting lever 18b is displaceable against the force of the spring 35. Thereby, the spring 35 can store energy.

[0071] Figure 11b shows that the connecting lever 18b abuts against the stopper 36 of the drawer rail 11 when the drawer side wall 2 is fitted over the drawer rail 11. Thereby, the connecting lever 18b is pushed against the force of the spring 35.

[0072] Figure 11c shows that the tensioned connecting lever 18b is movable along the outer surface of the vertical web 23 of the drawer rail 11 when the drawer side wall 2 is moved further to fit over the drawer rail 11.

[0073] Figure 11d shows that the spring-loaded connecting lever 18b enters into a notch of the drawer rail 11, and at this time the connecting lever 18b is pushed into the connecting position by the force of the relaxed spring 35. In the connecting position, a locking surface 22 of the connecting lever 18b and the edge 23a of the drawer rail 11 abut against each other, thereby preventing relative movement between the drawer side wall 2 and the drawer rail 11.

[0074] Figures 12a to 12e show, in steps that are temporally consecutive, the unlocking process of the connecting device 6 according to Figures 10a to 10c.

[0075] Figure 12a shows the connecting position between the connecting lever 18b and the drawer rail 11. In this case, the connecting lever 18b abuts against the edge 23a of the drawer rail 11.

[0076] Figure 12b shows that in order to dissociate the connecting lever 18b from the edge 23a of the drawer rail 11, the drawer side wall 2 must be manually lifted by a height Δx.

[0077] Figure 12c shows that the drawer 1 has been pulled out by the user in the pulling direction 38 by a distance Δs. In this case, the connecting lever 18b has been moved through a first gap 37a extending in the longitudinal direction L of the drawer rail 11.

[0078] Figure 12d shows that by manually pushing the drawer side wall 2 of the drawer 1 downward, the drawer 1 is lowered by a height Δx1.

[0079] Figure 12e shows that the drawer 1 has been further moved in the pulling direction 38. At this time, the connecting lever 18b is movable through a second gap 37b extending in the longitudinal direction L of the drawer rail 11. After the connecting lever 18b has been moved through the second gap 37b of the drawer rail 11, the drawer side wall 2 and the drawer rail 11 are separable from each other.

[0080] A method for connecting the drawer side wall 2 of the above-described form to the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9 for pulling is characterized in that the drawer side wall 2 is detachably connected to the drawer rail 11 using a connecting device 18.

[0081] According to a development of this method, it may be specified that the drawer side wall 2 is moved substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction L of the drawer rail 11 for connection and / or that the connecting device 18 has a spring-loaded connecting lever 18b that is pushed against the spring action during connection.

[0082] According to another embodiment of the method, it may be specified that the drawer side wall 2 is manually lifted starting from the connected state, then moved in the pulling direction 38, then lowered, and then moved again in the pulling direction 38 in order to disconnect it from the drawer guide 9 for pulling.

[0083] Figures 13a to 13c show another embodiment of the drawer side wall 2 from various viewpoints.

[0084] Figure 13a shows in perspective view the drawer side wall 2 in the form of a hollow profile 8. The holding member 13 (Figs. 1c, 1d) to be locked by the locking device 29 can be attached to the front plate 3 via at least one screw 14. The holding member 13 is removable by pushing the locking element 29a against the force of the spring element 29b (Fig. 5).

[0085] The drawer side wall 2 has a longitudinally extending groove 24 for receiving the drawer bottom 4 in a predetermined area, and the drawer bottom 4 can be frictionally connected to the inside of the groove 24 of the drawer side wall 2 via at least one mounting element 40 in the form of at least one claw, for example.

[0086] The connecting lever 18b is rotatably supported on the drawer side wall 2 about a vertical rotation axis 42 (Figs. 14a, 14b) extending in the assembling position.

[0087] The return device 39 can return at least one connecting lever 18b from the connecting position to the release position.

[0088] According to a preferred embodiment, - the return device 39 has at least one slider 39a slidably supported in the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2 and / or - the return device 39 has at least one return contour 39b (Figs. 14a, 14b) capable of pushing at least one connecting lever 18b in the direction from the connecting position to the release position and / or - the return device 39 has at least one gripping element 41 protruding downward from the drawer side wall 2, in particular at the assembling position of the drawer side wall 2 which may be specified.

[0089] FIG. 13b shows a partial section of the drawer side wall 2 as viewed from below. In this case, the connecting lever 18b is located at the connecting position with a drawer rail 11 (not shown here) of the drawer guide 9 for pulling out.

[0090] By means of a slider 39a that can slide linearly in the longitudinal direction L, the connecting lever 18b can be moved from the connecting position according to FIG. 13b to a release position as shown in FIG. 13c.

[0091] FIG. 13c shows a partial section of the drawer side wall 2 as viewed from below. In this case, the connecting lever 18b is located at the release position.

[0092] The intentional disconnection of the connecting lever 18b from the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9 for pulling out can be achieved by means of a slider 39a that can be operated by at least one gripping element 41, preferably two gripping elements 41.

[0093] At least one gripping element 41 is integrally connected to the slider 39a and / or is directly accessible for manual operation.

[0094] It is also possible that the slider 39a and at least one gripping element 41 are formed as separate components and are connected to each other in a kinematic connection.

[0095] The connecting lever 18b may be preloaded in the direction of the locked position by at least one spring 35 (FIGS. 10a - 10c). In this case, the defined unlocking of the connecting lever 18b is possible by moving the slider 39a against the force of the spring 35.

[0096] FIG. 14a shows the connecting device 6 of the drawer side wall 2 according to FIGS. 13a - 13c.

[0097] The connecting lever 18b of the connecting device 18 is pivotally supported on the base body 6a about a rotation axis 42.

[0098] Due to the linear movement of the slider 39a of the return device 39, the connecting lever 18b can be pushed from the connecting position shown in Fig. 14a to the release position shown in Fig. 14b.

[0099] For this purpose, the return device 39 can have at least one return contour 39b that can push at least one connecting lever 18b in the direction from the connecting position to the release position.

[0100] Fig. 14b shows the connecting device 6 of Fig. 14a. In this case, the connecting lever 18b is located in the release position relative to the drawing rail 11 (not shown here) of the drawing guide 9 for drawing.

[0101] Fig. 15a shows the connecting device 6 according to a slightly modified embodiment in a side view. In this case, the holding member 13 is locked to the connecting device 6 via a locking device 29 provided with a locking element 29a.

[0102] It can be seen that at least one spring element 43 in the form of a spring tongue, for example, is arranged on the slider 39a of the return device 39.

[0103] The spring element 43 ensures the exact position of the slider 39a relative to the base body 6a of the connecting device. In this case, the slider 39a is in contact with the connecting lever 18b of the connecting device 18 by the force of the spring element 43.

[0104] Fig. 15b shows an enlarged view of the area "B" enclosed by a frame in Fig. 15a.

[0105] Figure 15c shows a cross-sectional view along the plane C-C written in Figure 15b. It can be seen that the slider 39a of the return device 39 has the first return contour 39b, and the connecting lever 18b of the connecting device 18 has the second return contour 39c. In this case, when the connecting lever 18b moves from the connecting position to the release position, the first return contour 39b and the second return contour 39c move while contacting each other.

[0106] The first return contour 39b and the second return contour 39c may each be formed by being curved.

[0107] The connecting lever 18b is preloaded in the direction of the connecting position by a spring 35 in the form of a leaf spring, for example.

[0108] When the slider 39a is pulled in the pulling direction of the drawer 1, the connecting lever 18b is moved in the direction of the release position via the return contours 39b, 39c that cooperate with each other, whereby the drawer 1 can be unlocked from the drawer guide 9 for pulling.

[0109] The force of the spring element 43 is set to be weaker than the force of the spring 35.
