The invention relates to a filing cabinet with a frame. file cabinet

A cabinet structure with compartments arranged one above the other is known, in which in front of a fixed one Cabinet row another row of 5

Cabinets can be moved laterally on rails attached to the floor parallel to the fixed row of cabinets is arranged, the number of front cabinets is less than that of the rear, so that each rear cabinet section is freely accessible by moving the front cabinets sideways is. A disadvantage of such a cabinet structure, however, is that because of the size and the Weight of the movable cabinets in the loaded state, these are correspondingly massive, Carriages running on rails must be placed so that they can be moved without too much force can be. This results in considerable costs, and makes the friction that occurs when moving it is difficult to move these cabinets into the desired position. It is also known to be a part Equipping such sliding cabinets with a motor drive, however, brought additional facilities and unreasonable price increases.

The aim of the invention is such a cabinet structure with a relatively large capacity and minimal To provide space requirements, the fixed rear cabinets are easily accessible and the one in front lying cabinet part can be moved comfortably and without great effort.

According to the invention this is achieved by a filing cabinet with a frame Back part for the frame, which is exposed at the front, by several vertically and horizontally aligned one below the other Rows of box guides on this back section, through a horizontal upper guide rail, across at least one of these horizontally aligned box guides and in front of them runs through at least one slide with rollers arranged in front of it on the rear upper part of this Carriage, these rollers for lateral displacement along the front of the one behind it Box guides rest in the guide rail, and through devices on this carriage and in the box guides for receiving items to be stored therein.

This results in a compact and stable cabinet structure in which any cabinet compartment can be used is easily and conveniently accessible, with only a very small amount to move the individual carriage Force is required. The carriages can easily be removed and placed on the guide rail Applicant:

are, in addition, they are secured in a simple manner against unintentional displacement.

An example embodiment of the device according to the invention is illustrated with reference to the drawing explained in the

F i g. 1 shows a plan view of an embodiment according to the invention, with individual parts of FIG Clarity is omitted;

F i g. 2 is a front view, and

F i g. Figure 3 is a section taken along line 3-3 in Figure 3. 2, which shows the carriage suspension in detail.

The cabinet consists of a frame with a back part 1, a bottom 2 and side parts 3. The Side parts extend forward to point 4, the front is usually open here, can but can be closed by sliding doors, roller blinds or the like.

Several horizontally and vertically aligned rows of box guides 5 are arranged in the frame.

brought. These box guides can carry sliding drawers 6 with handles 7, or it can preferably be provided drawers with two rollers on each side, which in approximately U-shaped rails run, which with their vertical part, for example, on a partition of the cabinet are attached and which have an upper and a lower angle, which extend inward towards the drawer with the lower leg horizontal and the upper can be curved in cross-section, and the diameter of the rollers, the plane of which with the after inwardly protruding part of the lower leg forms an acute angle, is less than the distance of the two legs.

Between adjacent box guides between vertical walls 8 are provided, which extend to a point 9 at the front of this series of box guides the back portion of the cabinet 1 _r so that it horizontal guide rails 10 may be attached ao. Individual displaceable carriages 11 are suspended from a guide rail 10.

As shown in FIG. 3 shows, this guide rail has approximately an L-profile, the lowering »5 right leg 13 is attached to an intermediate wall 8 by screws 12. Along the horizontal An upwardly bent bracket 15 extends over the leg 14 of the guide rail.

Each carriage 11 has a horizontal floor 16 'and a vertical rear wall 16, wherein A rearwardly angled section 17 is provided along the upper edge of the rear wall 16. At two rollers 18 and 18 'are attached to this at a distance from one another. These roles fit into the beveled bracket 15, and they are easily secured against unintentional displacement.

Along the bottom of one row of box guides and between the next below Row is another guide rail arranged with the guide rail above 10 is identical and is also attached to the intermediate walls 8. Along the lower rear At the edge of a carriage 11, a projection 23 is provided, which is connected to the rear wall and floor surface of a carriage forms an obtuse angle and carries the rollers 24 and 24 ', which are at the vertical Legs of a guide rail 9 rest. In this way, the carriage can easily slide into the guide rail hung and moved sideways without any effort, since the rollers reduce the friction between Lower the slide and guide significantly. The number of individual sleds with compartments is lower than that of the drawers behind it, so that only individual slides are moved at a time need to make a drawer behind it freely accessible.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the box guides themselves can be designed as compartments so that drawers can be dispensed with.
