Drawer system with pull-out rail onto which different drawers can be installed
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing drawer systems are not versatile enough to accommodate different types of drawer systems on a pull-out guide, limiting their adaptability and functionality.
Innovation Solution
A thrust system with first and second fastening means on the pull-out guide, allowing for the attachment of different drawer systems by providing multiple attachment options, including clip-on assemblies, sliding connections, and underfloor configurations, enabling various drawer systems to be mounted on the same rail.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single type of connecting means is provided on the pull-out guide, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but only a single drawer system can be mounted on the pull-out guide
Solution Approach 1:
The pull-out guide is designed with multiple fastening means (first fastening means and second fastening means) that can accommodate different types of drawer systems. The first fastening means is designed for drawers with clip-on assemblies, while the second fastening means is designed for drawers with connecting means arranged on the frame. This multi-functional design allows a single pull-out guide to support various drawer configurations, thereby resolving the contradiction between versatility and structural simplicity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If connecting means are precisely matched to the coupling outer part, then the attachment is reliable and secure, but it is not possible to fix different drawer systems on the pull-out runner
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the pull-out guide are equipped with different fastening means tailored to specific drawer types. The first fastening means (such as an adapter with a hollow body section) is optimized for clip-on assemblies, while the second fastening means (such as a coupling unit) is optimized for connecting means on the frame. Each fastening means provides reliable attachment for its intended drawer type, while the overall system achieves versatility through this localized differentiation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If an open longitudinal slot is provided at the front end of the running rail, then the drawer can be easily fixed and dismantled, but only a single drawer system can be mounted on the pull-out guide
Solution Approach 1:
The pull-out guide is segmented into multiple functional zones with different fastening means. The first fastening means accommodates drawers with clip-on assemblies, while the second fastening means accommodates drawers with connecting means on the frame. This segmentation allows multiple different drawer systems to be mounted on the same pull-out guide, resolving the limitation of single-drawer configurations while maintaining ease of operation through standardized attachment mechanisms.

AI summary
The invention relates to a pull-out guide (8) comprising at least two rails that can be moved in relation to each other, wherein a first attaching means for attaching a pushing element of a first drawer system (3) is provided on a movable rail (10). A second attaching means at a distance from the first attaching means is provided on the movable rail (10) for attaching a pushing element of a second drawer system (52), and either a pushing element of a first or a second drawer system (3, 52) can be attached to the movable rail (10). By providing first and second attaching means on the movable rail (10), the pull-out guide (8) can be used in many ways and different drawer systems can be mounted on the movable rails (10).
