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 area, and the connecting device has at least one connecting device for removably connecting the drawer side wall to the 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 the pulling rail of a pulling guide for pulling out.

[0004] EP 0740917 A1 discloses a drawer side wall made of a hollow profile, which has 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 202007001782 U1, DE 9401168 U and DE 9419610 U disclose drawer side walls with a connecting device that can be connected to a front plate of the 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 line with the target in order to connect it to the pulling rail of the pulling guide for pulling out. In this 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 be constructed more compactly, more easily, and less expensively, while avoiding the aforementioned drawbacks.

[0007] This problem is solved by the features of claim 1 according to the present invention. Further embodiments of the present invention are provided in the dependent claims.

[0008] According to the present invention, at least one coupling device is characterized by having at least one swivelable or bendable coupling lever for detachably coupling to a drawer rail of a drawer guide and / or at least one coupling element that is detachably connectable to the coupling lever for detachably coupling to a drawer rail of a drawer guide.

[0009] This significantly reduces the force required for coupling and uncoupling, making operation easier for people. In particular, it allows people to intentionally couple and uncouple the drawer rails.

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

[0011] Therefore, the function of attaching the front panel and the function of connecting the drawer side wall to the drawer rail of the drawer guide are combined into a single common component unit, and in this case, there is no need to provide two separate component units to satisfy these functions. Thus, the common component unit of the connection device can be constructed more compactly, more simply, and less expensively.

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

[Figure 13a] Fig. shows another embodiment of a drawer side wall with a return device for returning the connecting lever. [Figure 13b] Fig. 13a shows the embodiment from another perspective. [Figure 13c] Fig. 13a shows the embodiment from another perspective. [Figure 14a]Figures 13a to 13c show the connection device formed by the drawer side wall, with the connecting lever in one position. [Figure 14b] Figures 13a to 13c show the connection device using the drawer side wall, but at a different position of the connecting lever. [Figure 15a] This figure shows the connection device in a slightly modified embodiment, as shown in Figures 14a and 14b. [Figure 15b] Figure 15a shows the connection device from a different perspective. [Figure 15c] Figure 15a shows the connection device from a different perspective.

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

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

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

[0017] Drawer 1 is supported via a drawer guide 9 so as to be movable relative to a furniture cabinet (not shown). The drawer guide 9 includes a cabinet rail 10 to be attached to the furniture cabinet and at least one drawer rail 11 that is movable relative to the cabinet rail 10. Drawer 1 is detachably connectable to the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9 via a coupling device 18 (Figure 2a) (not yet described).

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

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

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

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

[0022] Figure 2a shows a perspective view of the drawer side wall 2 from above, in which case the drawer side wall 2 is detachably connected to the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9 via a connecting device 18. In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting device 18 includes a connecting element 18a located on the drawer side wall 2, which is detachably connected to a connecting lever 18b of the drawer rail 11. Figure 2a shows the unconnected state between the connecting element 18a and the connecting lever 18b.

[0023] The connecting device 18, which includes the connecting element 18a, and the connecting device 6 for connecting the front plate 3 to the drawer side wall 2, preferably in a removable manner, are combined to form a single common component unit.

[0024] A connecting lever 18b for detachably connecting to the connecting element 18a is supported on the pull-out rail 11 so as to bend or pivot about an axis that extends vertically in the assembled position.

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

[0026] A hook 15 is provided in the rear region of the drawer rail 11. This hook is positioned at a predetermined distance from the upper surface of the drawer rail 11 and extends along the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2. When the drawer side wall 2 is assembled, the hook 15 is housed in the hole 16 of the back wall holder 12. The hook 15 defines the rear position of the drawer 1 on the drawer rail 11. Furthermore, the rear region of the drawer 1 can be stabilized in a direction extending laterally with respect to the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2 by the hook 15 engaged in the hole 16.

[0027] Figure 2b shows an enlarged view of the area enclosed by the frame in Figure 2a. In one embodiment, the drawer side wall 2 may be characterized as being substantially rectangular in shape and / or substantially rectangular when viewed in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2.

[0028] The connecting device 6 for detachably connecting to the front panel 3 includes a coupling device 18, which allows the drawer side wall 2 to be detachably connected to the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9.

[0029] In the illustrated embodiment, the coupling device 18 has at least one coupling element 18a located on the drawer side wall 2, and this coupling element is detachably connected to a coupling lever 18b.

[0030] The connecting element 18a, as shown in the figure, has a contact surface 19, a first stopper surface 20a extending in the longitudinal direction L, and / or a second stopper surface 20b extending laterally with respect 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 multiple locking surfaces 22 offset in the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2 allow the drawer 1 to occupy various depth positions when locked with the drawer rail 11, thereby enabling the front surface of the front panel 3 to align with adjacent front panels in substantially one common plane.

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

[0033] Furthermore, the connecting element 18a has at least one inclined surface 20c, which allows the connecting lever 18b to be displaced laterally relative 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 the displacement, the connecting lever 18b can be automatically locked with the connecting element 18a by the resulting spring force.

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

[0035] Preferably, at least one side of the drawer side wall 2 is formed from a single sheet of metal, and the groove 24, together with the retaining webs 24a and 24b, may be specified to be formed within the sheet of metal by bending.

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

[0037] By fitting the drawer side wall 2 onto the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9, the connecting lever 18b is rotated in a plane that extends parallel to the running plane of the drawer rail 11 through the cooperation of both slopes 20c and 21, and at this time, the power storage device for applying force to the connecting lever 18b can store power.

[0038] The front end of the pull-out rail 11 preferably has a web 11a that slopes downward toward the front, and it can be seen that this web is slidably guided within the guide 25 of the connecting lever 18b. The web 11a engaging with the guide 25 allows the connecting lever 18b to be guided precisely laterally.

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

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

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

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

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

[0044] Figure 4b shows a cross-section of the connecting lever 18b positioned on the drawer rail 11. The web 11a of the drawer rail 11 can be seen descending toward the front, and in this case, the connecting lever 18b is slidably guided in a direction extending laterally with respect to the longitudinal direction L via the web 11a which 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 has a base 6a, preferably made of plastic, which can be positioned 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 positioned on or inside the base 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 placed in this groove.

[0047] According to a preferred embodiment, the connecting device 6 is -The front plate 3 has at least one locking device 29 which can releasely lock at least one retaining member 13 to be attached thereto, preferably the locking device 29 has at least one locking element 29a which is preferably spring-loaded and / or slidably supported and / or -The front panel 3 has at least one adjustment device 31 that can adjust the position of the front panel 3 in at least one direction relative to the drawer side wall 2, preferably laterally with respect to the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2, and preferably this at least one adjustment device 31 has at least one eccentric body 32 and / or -When assembled to the drawer side wall 2, -except for the coupling device 18, -they are substantially completely housed inside the drawer side wall 2, and / or -It has a base 6a, which preferably in this case is made of plastic and / or is substantially L-shaped. It is fine if that fact is specified.

[0048] In the illustrated embodiment, the locking device 29 has a locking element 29a biased by a spring element 29b, which has a notch 30 formed to accommodate a pin 13a of the retaining member 13. When the pin 13a is introduced into the notch 30, the locking element 29a is moved upward by the inclined surface 33 against the force of the spring element 29b, and the pin 13a is then lockable within the notch 30.

[0049] The adjustment device 31 may have a rotatable adjustment element 31a comprising at least one eccentric body 32 that can be positioned between the parallel side webs of the retaining member 13. By rotating the adjustment element 31a, the retaining member 13 (and thus the front plate 3) is adjustable laterally relative to the base 6a.

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

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

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

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

[0054] Figures 7a to 7c show the releaseable lock between the retaining member 13 to be attached to the front plate 3 and the connecting device 6 in chronologically continuous steps.

[0055] Figure 7a shows a retaining member 13 equipped with a pin 13a, which can be releasably locked to the locking element 29a of the locking device 29 when the retaining member 13 is inserted.

[0056] Figure 7b shows that when the pin 13a collides with the inclined surface 33 of the lock element 29a, the lock 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, this causes the lock element 29a to move upward against the force of the spring element 29b.

[0057] Figure 7c shows that the pin 13a of the retaining member 13 is locked by the force of the relaxed spring element 29b, and at this time, the pin 13a of the retaining member 13 is located 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 via a coupling device 18.

[0059] The drawer rail 10 of the drawer guide 9 has a mounting section 10a that allows the cabinet rail 10 to be attached to a furniture cabinet.

[0060] The drawer side wall 2, in its connected state, is positioned 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 equipped with a swivel connecting lever 18b that can be detachably connected to the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9.

[0062] Figure 8b shows an enlarged view of the area enclosed by a circle in Figure 8a. The connecting lever 18b is supported on the drawer side wall 2 so as to be able to pivot about an axis 34 (Figure 9) that extends vertically, and protrudes laterally from the inner side surface of the drawer side wall 2.

[0063] The connecting lever 18b may have two or more locking surfaces 22 that are offset from each other in the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2. The presence of different locking surfaces 22 allows the drawer side wall 2 to be locked relative to the drawer rail 11 at two or more different depth positions. This allows the depth position of the drawer 1 to be aligned with respect to the furniture cabinet. It can be seen that one of the locking surfaces 22 is in contact with the edge 23a of the vertical web 23 of the drawer rail 11.

[0064] Figure 9 is an exploded view of an embodiment of the connecting device 6 for the drawer side wall 2 shown in Figures 8a and 8b. In this embodiment, the connecting lever 18b is supported on the base 6a, preferably on the lower surface of the base 6a, so as to be rotatable about an 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 connection device 6, please refer to the embodiment shown in Figure 5.

[0066] Figure 10a shows a perspective view of the connecting device 6 according to Figure 9, viewed from below. The connecting lever 18b is pivotably supported about an axis 34 and is pushed in the direction of the connecting position by a spring 35. The spring 35 can be formed by the material elasticity of a plastic member, as shown in the figure, or optionally by a mechanical spring element (e.g., a tension spring, compression spring, or torsion spring). For ease of viewing, the drawer rail 11 is not shown.

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

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

[0069] Figures 11a to 11d show the connection process of the connection device 6 shown in Figures 10a to 10c in chronologically continuous steps.

[0070] Figure 11a shows a connecting lever 18b supported on a base 6a so as to be rotatable about an axis 34, and pushed in the direction of the connecting position by a spring 35. The connecting lever 18b is to be connected to a drawer rail 11 of a drawer guide 9, in which case the drawer rail 11 has a vertical web 23 and an edge 23a for contact with the connecting lever 18b. Furthermore, the drawer rail 11 has a stopper 36, which allows the connecting lever 18b to be displaced against the force of the spring 35. This allows the spring 35 to store energy.

[0071] Figure 11b shows that when the drawer side wall 2 is fitted onto the drawer rail 11, the connecting lever 18b comes into contact with the stopper 36 of the drawer rail 11. As a result, 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 to further fit onto the drawer rail 11.

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

[0074] Figures 12a to 12e show the unlocking process of the connection device 6 shown in Figures 10a to 10c in chronologically continuous steps.

[0075] Figure 12a shows the connection position between the connecting lever 18b and the drawer rail 11, in which case the connecting lever 18b is in contact with the edge 23a of the drawer rail 11.

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

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

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

[0079] Figure 12e shows that drawer 1 has been moved further in the drawer direction 38, at which point the connecting lever 18b is movable through a second gap 37b in the drawer rail 11 that extends in the longitudinal direction L. After the connecting lever 18b has been moved through the second gap 37b in 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 above-described type of drawer side wall 2 to the drawer rail 11 of the drawer guide 9 is characterized by detachably connecting the drawer side wall 2 to the drawer rail 11 using a connecting device 18.

[0081] In an advanced form 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 aside against the spring action when connected.

[0082] In another embodiment of the method, the drawer side wall 2 may be manually lifted from the connected state, then moved in the drawer direction 38, then lowered, and then moved again in the drawer direction 38, in order to detach it from the drawer guide 9.

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

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

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

[0086] The connecting lever 18b is rotatably supported on the drawer side wall 2 around a rotation axis 42 (Figures 14a and 14b) that extends vertically in the assembled position.

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

[0088] According to a preferred embodiment, - The return device 39 has at least one slider 39a that is 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 (Figures 14a, 14b) that can push at least one coupling lever 18b away from the coupling position towards the release position, and / or - The return device 39 has at least one gripping element 41 that protrudes downward from the drawer side wall 2, particularly at the assembly position of the drawer side wall 2. It is fine if that fact is specified.

[0089] Figure 13b shows a view from below of a portion of the drawer side wall 2, in which case the connecting lever 18b is located at the connection point with the drawer rail 11, which is not shown here, of the drawer guide 9.

[0090] The coupling lever 18b can be moved from the coupling position shown in Figure 13b to the release position shown in Figure 13c by a slider 39a that is linearly slidable in the longitudinal direction L.

[0091] Figure 13c shows a view from below of a portion of the drawer side wall 2, in which case the connecting lever 18b is in the release position.

[0092] A slider 39a, which can be operated by at least one gripping element 41, preferably two gripping elements 41, allows for the intentional disengagement of the connecting lever 18b of the drawer guide 9 from the drawer rail 11.

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

[0094] The slider 39a and at least one gripping element 41 may be formed as separate components and connected to each other so as to be kinetically linked.

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

[0096] Figure 14a shows the connection device 6 for the drawer side wall 2 as shown in Figures 13a to 13c.

[0097] The coupling lever 18b of the coupling device 18 is supported on the base 6a so as to be able to rotate around the rotation axis 42.

[0098] The linear motion of the slider 39a of the return device 39 allows the coupling lever 18b to be pushed from the coupling position in Figure 14a to the release position in Figure 14b.

[0099] For this purpose, the return device 39 may have at least one return contour 39b that can push at least one coupling lever 18b away from the coupling position towards the release position.

[0100] Figure 14b shows the connecting device 6 in Figure 14a, in which case the connecting lever 18b is in the released position relative to the drawer rail 11 (not shown) of the drawer guide 9.

[0101] Figure 15a shows a side view of a slightly modified embodiment of the connecting device 6, in which case the retaining member 13 is locked to the connecting device 6 via a locking device 29 equipped with a locking element 29a.

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

[0103] The spring element 43 ensures the precise position of the slider 39a relative to the base 6a of the connecting device, in which 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] Figure 15b shows a magnified view of area "B" enclosed by a frame in Figure 15a.

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

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

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

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

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