Description

[0001] "Device for attaching a guide device"

[0002] State of the art

[0003] Devices as an additional device for attaching a guide device, e.g. a rail guide for the linear movement of a furniture part, to a body such as a furniture carcass are known.

[0004] For example, rail guides designed as full or partial extensions can be attached to the body using such a device, e.g. a guide mounting device.

[0005] A guided movement of a movable furniture part is achieved, for example, with two identical standardized rail guides with rails that can be moved relative to each other.

[0006] Each guide rail is attached to the movable furniture part with one rail and to the cabinet body with another. Attachment to the cabinet body takes place, for example, on vertically oriented side panels or on other sections of the cabinet, such as a bottom panel. If a guide rail is not equipped with standard and / or integrated mounting points, such as angle brackets, additional solutions are necessary.

[0007] Purpose and advantages of the invention:

[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide a device for attaching a furniture component guide assembly to a cabinet body in a manner that allows for flexible, secure, and easy-to-install mounting. In particular, the attachment should be detachable, for example, and adjustable to different sections of the cabinet body. This object is achieved by the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

[0009] The invention relates to a device with fastening means, wherein the device is designed for fastening a guide device to a body by means of the fastening means, wherein the guide device has a guide rail and serves to guide the movement of a furniture part that is movable relative to the body, wherein the fastening means comprise a fastening element, wherein the fastening element is designed as a separate component, and wherein locking means are provided for a locking connection between the fastening element and the guide device. For example, the fastening means comprise the locking means. For example, the locking means are formed on the fastening element.

[0010] The body is, for example, a furniture body.

[0011] For example, the locking mechanisms are integrally present or formed within the fastener. For example, the fastener is a single-piece component, e.g., made of a plastic material. For example, the fastener is designed so that it can be fixed to the body in a secure but detachable manner, for example, with screws or plug-in fasteners. For this purpose, for example, there is one or more openings in a section of the fastener through which screws engage to form a screw connection. Alternatively, for example, the fastener can be permanently and / or irrevocably connected to the body, e.g., by adhesive.

[0012] For example, the guide system includes a partial extension with a cabinet rail and a motion rail. For example, the guide system includes a full extension with a cabinet rail, a motion rail, and a center rail acting between the cabinet rail and the motion rail.

[0013] For example, the locking devices are designed for a snap-fit ​​connection between the fastener and a part of the guide device that is fixed in position on the body when mounted. For example, the locking devices are designed for a snap-fit ​​connection between the fastener and a part of the guide device that is fixed in position on the body when mounted. Hereinafter, the term snap-fit ​​connection is to be understood synonymously with the term snap-fit ​​connection. For example, the locking devices for forming the snap-fit ​​connection or the snap-fit ​​connection snap into a mating section and form a snapped connection between the fastener, which is fixed to the body, and a guide rail of the guide device that is fixed in position when in use, or an additional section of the guide device attached to the guide rail. For example, in use, the guide rail is fixed in position on the body, e.g.The guide rail is screwed in place. For example, the guide rail has a U-shaped rail body, e.g., with a rail base and two longitudinally raised rail sides. When fastened, the rail base rests, for example, against the top surface of a base section of the fastening element.

[0014] A state of use refers in particular to a state relating to a piece of furniture which is mounted on a body of the furniture with a guide device and with the device with fastening means for guiding the movement of the piece of furniture for the use of the furniture or the piece of furniture such as a drawer.

[0015] For example, load-transmitting bearing means such as rolling elements are provided between two adjacent guide rails for the relative movement of the guide rails.

[0016] For example, the locking devices are designed to fit the guide device or guide rail in such a way that the assembly process of the guide device on the fastener, or exactly two fasteners, involves a linear relative movement or a pivoting, rotating, or tilting relative movement between the guide device and a fastener. A superimposed relative movement during assembly, comprising both linear and rotating or pivoting components, is also possible. For example, the relative movement might involve the movement of the guide rail, e.g., by a person, and the fastener, or e.g., exactly two fasteners, fixed to the body. The relative movement, or the assembly process, might continue until the locking devices are in the locked or snapped position, e.g., until they are engaged or snapped into place against a counter contour.

[0017] For example, when the device is assembled, the fastening element and the guide rail are fixed in position to the cabinet. For example, when the device is assembled, the fastening element and the guide mechanism are detachably connected. For example, when the device is assembled, the fastening element and, for example, the cabinet rail are detachably but firmly connected to each other.

[0018] For example, when the device is assembled, the fastening element and, for example, the cabinet rail are detachably connected to each other indirectly and / or directly.

[0019] The core of the invention lies in the fact that the locking means for forming the locking connection are designed with a housing component of the guide device, wherein the housing component is present on the guide rail as an additional section of the guide device. For example, the locking means can be locked into a housing component of the guide device.

[0020] For example, the housing component is a component that can be optionally attached to a guide unit, such as a standard guide unit, e.g., additionally or as an option. The guide unit is fully functional and designed for motion guidance even without the housing component. The actual linear guide is not affected by the absence of the housing component. The housing component may incorporate a device that influences the linear motion, such as a feed or ejection mechanism.

[0021] For example, the locking mechanisms for forming the snap connection with the housing component are present on a first fastening element, such as a front fastening element (e.g., in relation to the furniture with a front usable side). For example, the locking mechanisms for forming the snap connection with the housing component are present on a second fastening element, such as a rear fastening element (e.g., in relation to the furniture with a front usable side). For example, only exactly one of the two fastening elements is snap-fitted to the housing component. For example, the locking mechanisms for forming the snap connection with the housing component are present on the first fastening element or on the second fastening element.For example, the locking mechanisms of the first and second fasteners are engaged with the housing component when assembled, meaning both fasteners are snap-fit ​​to the housing component. The snap-fit ​​connection can also be released, for example, without tools or manually.

[0022] For example, the locking devices include a first locking element that can be locked into a contour section on the guide rail to form the locking connection.

[0023] For example, the locking means include a first locking element that can be locked into a housing component of the guide device to form the locking connection.

[0024] For example, the housing component is a separate component from the guide rail of the guide assembly, which can be attached to the guide rail, e.g., by plugging it in or being attached. For example, the housing component is attached to the cabinet rail. For example, the housing component is attached to a cabinet rail of the guide assembly, e.g., by plugging it in.

[0025] For example, the locking devices can be engaged with a contoured section on the guide rail. For example, the first locking element can be engaged with the contoured section on the guide rail. For example, the contoured section comprises a bolt or another contoured, projecting profile component. For example, the contoured section comprises a section projecting towards the outside and / or inside of the guide rail. For example, the contoured section is an integral part of the guide rail, e.g., integrally formed on the guide rail. For example, the contoured section is designed or present as an element attached to or present on a section of the guide device. For example, the contoured section comprises a section partially cut from the material of the guide rail, e.g., a sheet metal material, and bent at an angle to the flat material. For example, the contoured section comprises a tab.For example, the contour section comprises a material or sheet metal tongue, a material or sheet metal tab, or a material or sheet metal strip. For example, the contour section includes a step, a raised section, an opening, a hole, a window, a recess, and / or a cutout in the material of the guide rail, such as a side section of the guide rail, like a side wall. For example, a contour section is present on both opposite side walls of the guide rail, e.g., a U-shaped guide rail.

[0026] For example, the housing component is designed to accommodate a retraction and / or ejection mechanism of the guide system. This allows a guide system, which includes an additional function such as a retraction and / or ejection function, and thus incorporates the housing component, to be easily and reliably attached to the furniture or cabinet using the device's fastening elements.

[0027] For example, the housing component is a plastic component that is detachably attached to a guide rail, e.g., by being plugged in. Alternatively, the housing component can be arranged on a fixed rail of the guide system.

[0028] For example, the fixed rail with the device and fastening means can be fixed in position to the body or is attached in the operating state, e.g., to a base of the body. For example, the snap connection includes a locking mechanism on the housing component, but, for example, without a locking mechanism on the feed or ejection assembly attached to it. For example, the housing component extends laterally next to a vertically oriented outer surface of the guide rail or fixed rail. For example, the housing component extends over a partial length of the total length of the guide rail or fixed rail, e.g., over a partial length in the range between 30% and 80% of the total length of the guide rail or fixed rail. For example, the housing component is present over a central partial length of the fixed rail, e.g., with a distance of a front end of the housing component to a front end of the fixed rail, and, for example,with a distance from a rear end of the housing component to a rear end of the fixed rail.

[0029] For example, the retraction and / or ejection mechanism is designed to retract and / or eject the movable furniture component relative to the body in a working state of the guide device. For example, the retraction and / or ejection mechanism includes a rechargeable energy storage device. For example, the retraction and / or ejection mechanism includes a damping device for damping the movement of the furniture component into an end position.

[0030] For example, the housing component extends over a partial height of its total height, e.g., relative to a vertical height in the operating state of the guide system. For example, in the operating state of the guide system, a lower surface of the housing component is at the same level as the lower surface of the guide or fixed rail. For example, in the operating state of the guide system, a top surface of the housing component is below the upper surface of the guide system's motion rail. For example, in the operating state of the guide system, a top surface of the housing component is slightly below the upper surface of the guide system's motion rail. The housing component includes, for example, a receiving area with mounting means for the detachable installation and attachment of the feed-in and / or ejection assembly.

[0031] For example, the fastening means comprise two fastening elements, wherein the fastening elements are designed as separate components. For example, the fastening means comprise exactly two fastening elements, e.g., a first fastening element and a second fastening element. For example, one fastening element, e.g., the second fastening element, can be locked to the housing component of the guide device. For example, the second fastening element can be locked to the housing component of the guide device and additionally to a rail body of the guide rail, e.g., the rail body of the cabinet rail.

[0032] For example, with regard to the furniture, a front fastening element is located in the longitudinal direction of the guide or body rail, spaced apart from the rear fastening element on the body rail.

[0033] For example, the other fastening element, e.g., the first fastening element, is not lockable to the housing component. For example, the first fastening element is lockable to the guide rail or to a rail body of the cabinet rail. For example, the first fastening element is lockable exclusively to the rail body of the guide rail. For example, the first fastening element is lockable to a front end section of the rail body of the guide rail. For example, the front end section refers to a front side of the cabinet or the associated furniture. For example, the front end section refers to an opening direction provided by the guide device. For example, the guide rail is the cabinet rail of the guide device.

[0034] For example, the fasteners comprise exactly one fastening element, wherein the fastening element is designed as exactly one separate component. For example, the exactly one fastening element fulfills the previously described configurations and features of both the first fastening element and the second fastening element. For example, the exactly one fastening element is formed from the two fastening elements described above, i.e., the first and second fastening elements, and additionally from a longitudinal section between the two fastening elements, wherein the first and second fastening elements and the longitudinal section are formed as one component, for example, made of a plastic.

[0035] For example, exactly one fastening element is an alternative to exactly two fastening elements. For example, the corresponding locking devices are designed on exactly one fastening element, just as they are on exactly two fastening elements. For example, the first locking element and the second locking element are present on exactly one fastening element.

[0036] For example, the single fastener has a length that corresponds to the length of the alternatively available two separate fasteners.

[0037] For example, the locking devices have a second locking element for forming a locking connection with the guide rail of the guide device. For example, the rear or second fastening element has a first locking element for locking onto the housing component, and additionally, the rear or second fastening element has a second locking element for forming a locking connection with the body rail of the guide device. For example, the second locking element comprises several identical locking hooks.

[0038] For example, the front or first fastening element may only have the second locking element or may only be lockable to the rail body. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the first fastening element has the first locking element for locking to the housing component and additionally a second locking element for locking to the guide rail, such as the rail body of the guide device's body rail. For example, the locking direction of the first locking element may be oriented transversely to the locking direction of the second locking element. For example, the first locking element may be elastically deflectable about a first axis on the fastening element. For example, the second locking element may be elastically deflectable about a second axis on the fastening element. For example, the first axis may be oriented transversely to the second axis. For example, the first axis may be oriented parallel to the second axis. The elastic deflection is, for example,A one-piece fastening element, for example, is formed by a material bridge between a base body of the fastening element and the part of the locking mechanism. For example, in the manner of a film hinge or the like.

[0039] For example, the second locking element is designed to form a locking connection with a rail body of the guide rail. For example, the second locking element is designed to form a locking connection with a side wall of the rail body of the guide rail that extends vertically in the operating state.

[0040] For example, a fastening element has both a first locking element and a second locking element.

[0041] For example, a rear fastening element may have both a first and a second locking element. For example, if there are two separate fastening elements, only the first or front fastening element may have a second locking element for engaging the rail body of the cabinet rail.

[0042] For example, a locking device includes a movable locking arm.

[0043] For example, the locking element is designed as a locking arm. For example, the locking element is spring-loaded and / or elastically movable. For example, the locking element is flexibly movable. For example, the locking element, such as the locking arm, is integrally formed with the fastening element.

[0044] For example, the locking element is formed as a projection, e.g., tongue-like, on a base body of the fastening element. In this example, the first locking element comprises the movable locking arm. In this example, the second locking element comprises the movable locking arm.

[0045] For example, the locking element on the fastener is formed from a section of the fastener material that is partially cut away from the outside. For example, a section on the housing section that engages with the locking element is present, for example, a rigid section such as a shoulder.

[0046] For example, a locking section is present on the guide rail. For example, a locking section is a movable or fixed locking section that can be locked to the locking element. For example, the locking element, like the locking arm, has an engagement contour. For example, the engagement contour is projecting or protruding on an arm section of the locking arm.

[0047] For example, the engagement contour is designed to project downwards in the installed state. For example, the locking element comprises exactly one locking arm. For example, the locking element comprises exactly two locking arms. For example, the locking element comprises three or more than three locking arms.

[0048] For example, a locking element comprises two parallel locking arms. For example, a locking element comprises exactly two parallel locking arms. For example, a locking element comprises two identically designed locking arms. For example, a locking element comprises two locking arms that are elastically movable or deflectable about an axis transverse to the longitudinal direction of the device. For example, a locking element comprises two locking arms that are adjacent or spaced apart transversely to the longitudinal extent of the device. For example, a locking element comprises two parallel, spring-loaded locking arms. For example, the locking arms are oriented slightly downwards towards their free ends in an unloaded state, for example, inclined slightly towards the plane of the base section. For example, this allows the locking arms to function without a downwardly projecting engagement contour. Alternatively, the locking arms can have an engagement contour that projects, for example, downwards or towards the base section.For example, the locking arms are aligned parallel to the floor section when unloaded.

[0049] For example, the fastening element comprises a flat base section and a web section oriented at an angle to the base section, wherein the base section is designed to rest against a body surface of the body and wherein the web section is designed to rest against a lateral section of the guide rail.

[0050] For example, the web section rests against the side section of the guide rail when the guide rail is attached to or locked into the mounting element, with the mounting element being attached to the cabinet surface, such as a bottom section of the cabinet. For example, the web section rests against a longitudinal side wall of the cabinet rail. For example, the web section extends over the entire length or a partial length of the mounting element.

[0051] For example, the fastening element has two parallel, spaced-apart web sections that provide a space between them to accommodate a section of the guide rail. The space is open at the top and is, for example, U-shaped or channel-like.

[0052] With regard to the fastening element, for example, the underside of the base section rests flat against the cabinet surface. The base section, which is flat and / or plate-like, is designed with its underside to rest against a cabinet surface, such as an inside surface, like a top or bottom panel, or a side or back panel. The top side of the base section is designed to rest against, or support, the underside of, a guide rail, such as the cabinet rail.

[0053] For example, the body surface is a horizontally oriented surface of the body, such as an inside like a top or a bottom of the body.

[0054] For example, the body surface is a vertically oriented surface such as an inside surface like a back or side wall of the body.

[0055] For example, with a mounting element attached to the cabinet surface, the bridge section protrudes, for instance, at a right angle relative to the base section and thus to the cabinet surface. For example, with a mounting element attached to the cabinet surface, exactly two spaced-apart and parallel bridge sections protrude at right angles relative to the base section, or at right angles upwards from its upper surface. The distance across the length of the bridge sections is matched to a width dimension of the guide rail, such as the cabinet rail of the guide device.

[0056] For example, the fastening element has a raised web section on a base section of the fastening element, wherein a locking element designed as a projection is provided on the web section, the projection being able to be brought into contact with an edge section of the guide rail. For example, the edge section comprises a longitudinal edge of the guide rail. The contact refers to the state of the guide device being attached to the body by means of the fastening element.

[0057] For example, the projection formed on the web section is designed to fit the guide rail in such a way that it can be brought into contact with the edge section, such as the upper longitudinal edge of the guide rail, like the cabinet rail. For example, the projection comes into contact with the upper edge section of the guide rail, encompassing it completely. For example, the projection locks into place with the edge section. For example, the projection is designed to be elastically or springily movable at the top of the web section, so that when the guide rail is attached to the fastening element, it can initially move back slightly and then lock into place with the edge section. For example, the projection is formed perpendicular to the upper longitudinal edge of the web section.

[0058] For example, the edge section of the guide rail is formed by a region of an upper edge or by a region of an upper bend in the sheet metal of the guide or body rail. The upper bend runs, for example, along a longitudinal axis of the guide rail.

[0059] For example, the projection is present at a free upper end of the web section. For instance, several similar or identical projections are spaced apart lengthwise along the web section. This allows for a better connection over a longer distance.

[0060] For example, a fastening element is designed in such a way that the fastening element can be locked into a rail body of the guide rail.

[0061] For example, the fastening element can only be locked to the guide rail. For example, no additional locking connection is formed with the housing component. For example, the first or front fastening element can be detachably connected, e.g., detachably locked to the rail body of the guide or cabinet rail, but not to the housing component.

[0062] For example, when the guide rail is attached to the front fastening element, two opposing, raised web sections of the fastening element are in contact with opposite outer sides of the rail body, e.g., the cabinet rail.

[0063] For example, the front fastening element may have additional locking devices such as hooks and / or locking elements, which can be engaged with a suitable contour on the guide or body rail.

[0064] For example, a suitable contour on the guide rail is formed by a window-like opening or recess, or by an edge for the engagement of the additional locking element. The opening is, for example, located on one side wall of the guide rail or on both opposite side walls of the guide rail.

[0065] For example, the invention relates to a guide device for guiding the movement of a furniture part that is movable relative to a body, wherein the guide device comprises guide rails and wherein a housing component is provided on a guide rail, and wherein a device with fastening means according to one of the embodiments discussed above is provided.

[0066] For example, the guide mechanism is a linear guide, such as a drawer guide. For example, the guide mechanism is designed as a partial or full extension. For example, the guide mechanism is designed as an underfloor guide. For example, the guide mechanism is designed as a pharmacist's cabinet guide.

[0067] Advantageously, if the guide mechanism has an additional function, for example one for which a housing component is provided on the guide, it can be easily and reliably attached to the furniture. This is because the locking mechanisms enable effective locking to the housing component.

[0068] For example, the housing component has a section that is appropriately or correctly aligned for locking into the locking devices of the assembly for attaching the guide unit. For example, the locking or snapping section includes a shoulder on the housing component. For example, the guide unit can be attached or locked without tools by manually sliding or pushing it onto the two mounting elements attached to the housing.

[0069] The guide device for movement guidance is, for example, a conventional guide device comprising a body rail that can be assigned to the body of the furniture or household appliance and comprising a movement rail that can be assigned to the movable part of the furniture.

[0070] The motion rail can be moved relative to the body rail.

[0071] For example, a fastening element, for example a second fastening element, is provided for connection to a rear longitudinal section of the cabinet rail.

[0072] For example, the second fastening element on the guide rail is provided within a rear partial length, e.g. within a rear half length of the guide or body rail.

[0073] For example, a fastening element, for example a first fastening element, is provided for connection to a front longitudinal section of the cabinet rail. For example, exactly one first fastening element and exactly one second fastening element are provided, which together enable the attachment of the same guide rail to the cabinet.

[0074] For example, the first fastening element can be detachably locked onto the cabinet rail or the rail body of the cabinet rail alone, but not locked onto the housing component.

[0075] For example, the first mounting element has a flat base section for attachment to the cabinet. For example, the first mounting element has two opposing, raised web sections for contact with opposite side walls of the guide rail or cabinet rail.

[0076] The housing component is detachably connected to the guide rail, for example, the cabinet rail, e.g., via hook-in and / or locking mechanisms. The housing component may be made of a plastic material. For example, the housing component may extend laterally along one longitudinal side of the cabinet rail. For example, the width of the space occupied laterally by the housing component adjacent to the cabinet rail, e.g., perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the device, may be less than the maximum width of the guide unit or less than the maximum width of the movement rail. For example, a feed mechanism and / or an ejection mechanism may be mounted on the housing component.

[0077] For example, a shoulder is present on the housing component, whereby the shoulder and the first locking element can be locked together.

[0078] For example, the shoulder on the housing component includes a wall or a tongue. Behind the upper edge of the wall or tongue, the locking element, such as a locking arm of the fastener, can be engaged. For example, the first locking element or locking arm snaps into the shoulder and thus locks the guide rail to the fastener.

[0079] For example, the housing component is detachably mounted on a guide rail designed as a cabinet rail. This allows a guide device to be easily equipped with an additional function, such as a retraction or ejection function.

[0080] For example, the invention extends to a furniture component with a guide device according to one of the previously described variants. For example, the furniture component is a drawer or a drawer element. For the movable linear guidance of the furniture component relative to the cabinet, exactly two identical rail guide units are provided, e.g., two full-extension slides.

[0081] The invention also relates to a piece of furniture comprising a furniture body and a furniture part as described above.

[0082] For example, in a piece of furniture designed like a pharmacist's cabinet, it is possible that exactly one rail guide unit, designed as an underfloor guide, which forms the guide mechanism, is provided for the furniture component. For example, the fasteners are then mounted, for instance, centrally on the base of the cabinet, beneath the bottom of the furniture component.

The outline of the furniture part 3, which is designed as a drawer and is only shown in a front lateral area, is indicated only by dashed lines in a fully inserted closed position on the furniture 1 or on the body 2 in the closing direction S2.

[0095] The furniture part 3 is attached to the body 2 by a guide device 4 and is linearly movable relative to the body 2 in an opening direction S1 and in the closing direction S2.

[0096] The guide device 4 is attached to the body 2 by means of a device 5 with fastening means 6. The fastening means 6 comprise two fastening elements, namely a first or front fastening element 7 (relative to the furniture 1) and a second or rear fastening element 8.

[0097] Locking elements 9 are provided for a snap-fit ​​connection between a respective fastening element 7, 8 and the guide device 4. The locking elements 9 are designed, for example, to form the snap-fit ​​connection with a housing component 10 of the guide device 4. A retraction arrangement 14 and / or an ejection arrangement 15 can be attached to or is attached to the housing component 10.

[0098] The housing component 10 is located on a guide rail 11 of the guide assembly 4 as an additional section of the guide assembly 4. The guide rail 11 is designed as a cabinet rail which is detachably and fixedly mounted on the cabinet 2. Furthermore, the guide assembly 4 is designed as a full-extension slide, as is known per se, with a central rail 12 (see Fig. 11) and an upper movement rail 13 of the guide assembly 4.

[0099] For example, the fastening means 6 on the fastening element 8 comprising the locking means 9 have a first locking element 16 for locking onto the housing component 10 (see Fig. 3, Fig. 5-7).

[0100] For example, the fastening means 6 on the second fastening element 8, comprising the locking means 9, have, in addition to the first locking element 16, a second locking element 17 to form a locking connection with the guide rail 11 or the body rail of the guide device 4.

[0101] For example, the first locking element 16 has two locking arms 16a, 16b.

[0102] For example, the second locking element 17 comprises several identical projections 17a designed as locking hooks, which, in the locked state, e.g. according to Fig. 7, encompass an upper edge section not visible in Fig. 7 or concealed by the movement rail 13, like a longitudinal edge of the guide rail 11.

[0103] For example, the fastening element 7, 8 comprises a flat base section 18 and a web section 19 oriented at an angle to the base section 18. For example, the fastening element 7 has two parallel offset web sections 19, the distance of which is coordinated and leaves exactly enough space so that the width of the guide rail 11 is appropriately accommodated between the two web sections 19 in the assembled state of the guide device 4.

[0104] The base section 18 is designed with its underside to rest against a cabinet surface 20 of the cabinet 2, such as an inner side of a cabinet base. The top side of the base section 18 is designed to rest against an underside of the guide rail 11. For example, the web section 19 is designed to rest against, including a locking action with the projections 17a, a lateral section of the guide rail 11. The lateral section is, for example, a side wall 11a of two opposing side walls 11a of the guide rail.

[0105] The bottom section 18 extends laterally on the outside of the respective web section 19 and has, for example, openings 18a for reaching through with, for example, screws.

[0106] For example, on the fastening element 8, the projections 17a are present on an upper free longitudinal edge 19a of the web section 19, e.g. at an angle on the longitudinal edge 19a, e.g. aligned parallel to the bottom section 18, projecting.

[0107] Fig. 5 shows an assembly situation of the guide device 4 on the rear fastening element 8, which is screwed to the body surface 20 (without screws at the openings 18a), with an assembly step bringing the guide device 4 towards M1, wherein the figures Fig. 6 to 8 show a subsequent snap-fit ​​connection of the locking means 9 with the first locking element 16 between the fastening element 8 and the housing component 10.

[0108] As the guide device 4 is moved into position in the direction of M1, as shown in Fig. 5, the two locking arms 16a, 16b come into contact with a shoulder 21 on the housing component 10 and deflect upwards elastically until, after the front ends of the locking arms 16a, 16b have passed the shoulder 21, the two locking arms 16a, 16b snap into place and lock onto the shoulder 21 and the housing component 10, respectively (see Figs. 6-8). This locks the guide device 4 against movement along its longitudinal direction. The guide device 4 is secured to the fastening element 8 in both longitudinal directions, i.e., in directions S1 and S2. The projections 17a, e.g., 17a, serve to secure the guide device 4 upwards against lifting off the fastening element 8. B. Locking hooks which cover the longitudinal edge 19a on the upper side.

[0109] Figures 9-11 illustrate the locking or snap connection between the front fastening element 7 and the guide device 4 or the guide rail 11. Two different locking principles are implemented.

[0110] The locking mechanism between the fastening element 7 and the guide device 4 is exclusively located on opposite side walls 11a of the guide rail 11. Both locking principles are implemented on each of the two side walls 11a.

[0111] For example, a second locking element 17 with a projection 17a is provided on each of the two web sections 19 of the fastening element 7 (see Figs. 4, 9). The two projections 17a are located at a common longitudinal position of the fastening element 7 on the web sections 19 and opposite each other, respectively.

[0112] The respective projections 17a are designed, for example, according to the projections 17a on the fastening element 8, for the upper gripping of a respective edge section 11 b of two opposite side walls 11 a of the guide rail 11 .

[0113] For example, the second locking element 17 also includes two locking lugs 22. Each locking lug is formed on an upwardly projecting and elastically deflectable projection 23 in the area of ​​the two web sections 19, e.g., in the area of ​​a gap between two partial lengths of the respective web section 19.

[0114] Each locking lug 22 engages, after an elastic retraction when the guide device 4 and the fastening element 7 are brought together, e.g. with a snapping motion, in a recess, opening 24 (see Fig. 10, 11) or depression in a lateral section or in the side wall 11 a of the guide rail 11 .
