Description
The invention relates to a pull-out guide for a drawer or the like, comprising a supporting rail on a body on either side, the drawer or the like being movable relative to the body, the body being for example the body of a piece of furniture, a pull-out rail on the drawer or the like on either side and rollers taking vertical forces arising on both sides between the pull-out rail and the supporting rail, which rollers are mounted in a roller-carrier in the form of a carriage. ~ ;~
Such pull-out guides are widely used for drawers, shelving and the like in modern furniture production, particularly kitchen furniture production.
The task of such pull-out guides is generally to ; facilitate withdrawal of the drawer or the like and ensure such withdrawal can take place with the minimum possible obstruction ; and in addition to make it possible to hold the drawer, withdrawn at least for the most part, in the body.
Known drawer guides are generally fitted with rollers, slides, preferably plastic slides, a combination of roller and slides, or freely moving balls.
An object of the invention is to make possible exact vertical alignment of the drawer or the like and thus of a front panel of the drawer of the like with pull-out guides of this kind.
In addition slight tilting of the drawer when pushed in is desir-ably to be prevented.
According to the invention, a leading element is disposed, preferably adjustable vertically, at the front end of the guide rail, which leading element rests on the lower horizont-al face of the supporting rail when the drawer or the like is - closed and the leading edge of which is wedge-shaped in the direction of insertion.
Thus in accordance with the invention, there is provided a pull-out guide for a drawer or the like, comprising a supporting -- 1 -- ~
rail provided on a side of a body relative to which the drawer is movable, a pull-out rail provided on a side of the drawer or ! the like, rollers arranged for taking vertical forces arising between the pull-out rail and the supporting rail, the rollers being mounted in a roller carrier in the form of a carriage, a leading element disposed at a front end of the guide rail, the leading element resting on a lower horizontal web of the supporting rail when the drawer is closed, the leading element having a leading edge which is wedge-shaped in the direction of insertion.
Preferably the leading element is secured on a tongue bent out of tke vertical face of the guide rail.
By bending the tongue the vertical position of the stop ~' can be changed and thus tolerances can be equalised in the gaps around the drawer or the like.
In an embodiment of the invention, the leading element projects laterally over the running face of the guide rail, the leading element being preferably made of a synthetic material, and, for example, being injection moulded.
Such a leading element is particularly suitable for use in cabinets where the drawer front is covered by a door or doors.
If the cabinet door is not fully opened when the drawer is pulled out, the door can easily be d'amaged with one of the'known drawer guide systems.
In the above-described embodiment of the invention, the leading element performs two functions. It serves for the vertical adjustment of the drawer and at the same time prevents damage to the door. Thus a separate door deflector is not needed.
The invention is further des'cribed below by way of exampLe with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 shows a side view of a pull-out guide in accordance with the invention;
Figure 2 shows a side view of the front portion of the pull-out guide of Figure l;
Figure 3 shows an end view in the direction of arrow A in Figure 2;
Figure 4 shows a plan view of the front portion of another pull-out guide in accordance with the invention; and Figure 5 shows a partly broken away perspective view of the pull-out guide of Figure 4.
The pull-out guide of Figures 1 to 3 comprises a supporting rail 1 on the body of a piece of furniture. The rail 1 has, for example, a U-profile and can be inserted into a corresponding groove in a side wall 20 of a piece of furniture or can be attached to the side wall 20 by means of screws, dowels or the like. The supporting rail 1 has a supporting web 8, an upper horizontal web 9, and a vertical web 1 . A hole 4 is formed in the web 8. The pull-out guide further comprises a guide rail 2 on the side of a drawèr.
In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3, the guide rail 2 has a Z-profile and engages under a side wall of the drawer 19 when the pull-out guide is assembled.
Alternately the guide rail 2 can have an L-profile.
The guide rail 2 has a running web 5 and a vertical web 2'.
As can be seen in the drawings, a roller carrier in the form of a carriage 6 is disposed in the channel formed by the U-profile of the supporting rail 1. The carriage 6 is advant-ageously injection-moulded in plastic. The carriage 6 has a wall 4 and is provided with a tongue 11 and a nose 13. As can be seen in Figure 1 six rollers 3 are mounted in the carriage 6 in such a way that four rollers 3 turn on the supporting web 8 of the supporting rail 1 while a group of two rollers 3 are located ~' ' - . , adjacent of the upPer horizontal web 9 of the supporting rail 1.
The arrangement of the rollers 3 depends upon the magnitude of the loading at individual points.
When the drawer 19 is pushed in, the running web S
of the guide rail 2 is inserted in the carriage 6 such that the running web 5 rests on the four lower rollers while the third and (relative to the depth of the piece of furniture) middle roller group rests on the running web 5.
The guide rail 2 and with it the drawer 19 are held safe against tilting in the supporting rail 1.
If the drawer, and thus the guide rail 2, are pulled out ir. the direction of arrow B from the piece of furniture, the freely moving carriage 6 moves with them.
In the front area of the piece of furniture the tongue 11, which is injection moulded in one piece with the carriage 6, comes to rest under a stop,12 on the supporting rail 1.
The stop 12 is arranged at the free edge of the upper horizontal web 9 of the supporting rail 1 and, as it does not extend across the entire breadth of the horizontal web 9, forms a lateral guide for the carriage 6 when the drawer 19 is in a withdrawn position, the carriage 6 being pushed with its wall 4 behind the stop 12.
The stop 12 prevents the carriage 6 from tipping over when the drawer 19 is pulled out fully. If the drawer 19 is pulled out fully, the tongue'll presses the carriage 6 downwards and with it the nose 13, forming a loc~, into the hole 14 in the web 8.
, Thus the carriage 6 is locked in the supporting rail 1 and is prevented from falling out while lateral guidance of the drawer 19 is absent.
In addition, to ensure particularly silent running, the lateral compensating rollers 15 are provided, which rollers turn about axes normal to the axes of the supporting rollers 3.
The aligning rollers 15 move on the vertical web 1 of the supporting rail and on the vertical web 2' of the guide rail 2. The supporting rollers 15 can be mounted for example in a manner known per se in the carriage 6.
At the front end of the guide rail 2 a tongue 16 is provided on which is placed a wedge-shaped leading element 7 made of plastic. The leading element 7 has a bearing face 17.
With the drawer 19 closed, the wedge-shaped leading element 7 lies with the bearing face 17 on the lower horizontal web 8 of the supporting rail 1 and thereby determines the vertical position of the front end of the guide rail 2 and thus of the drawer.
This vertical position can be varied by bending the tongue up or down. The leading element 7 may be located both on a guide rail 2 and on the two guide rails 2.
The pull-out guide~shown in Figures 4 and 5 is similar to the pull-out guide shown in Figures 1 to 3 except as described below.
In the pull-out guide of Figures 4 and 5, the leading element 7 projects laterally over the running web 5 of the guide rail 2.
If the door 18 is not fully opened, the leading element 7 strikes against the door 18 and forces it open when the drawer is~pulled out. Damage to the door 18 caused by the sharp-edged running web 5 of the guide rail 2 is avoided.
Figures 4 and 5 show the drawer 19, the side wall 20 of the piece of furniture and the door 18, schematically.
