At the top, the base cabinet 100 is closed by a worktop 111 or, alternatively, by a built-in appliance (not shown) or a rinsing module (not shown).

In the lower cabinet 100, an extract designated as a whole by 112 is received such that the drawer 112 along one of the side walls 104 of the lower cabinet 100 parallel horizontal extension direction 114 from the base cabinet extendable or in the cabinet 100 is inserted.

The drawer 112 is held by means of a full-extension guide assembly 116 to the lower cabinet 100, which comprises two aligned along the extension direction 114, perpendicular to the extension direction 114 spaced apart three-part drawer guides 118 which are formed as telescopic drawer guides.

As best seen in FIGS. 11-15, each of the drawer guides 118 includes a body-side guide rail 120 secured by support plates 122 to the bottom wall 103 of the cabinet 100, a center guide rail 124 secured to the body side by means of a rolling element assembly Rail 120 is displaceably guided along the extension direction 114, and an outgoing-side guide rail 126 which is guided by means of a rolling element on the central guide rail 124 along the extension direction 114 slidably.

The drawer-side guide rails 126 of each pull-out guide 118 are each received in a receiving groove 128 aligned parallel to the pull-out direction 114 of a bottom part 130 of a receptacle 134 of the drawer 112 designed as a tub 132 and releasably connected to the drawer 112 in a manner to be described in greater detail below (see FIG 9).

The forward in the extension direction 114 front of the drawer 112 is formed by a substantially vertical front plate 136 which is provided near its upper edge with a handle 138.

By engaging the handle 138, a user can fully extract the drawer 112 from the body 101 of the cabinet 100 and place it in the fully extended position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, in which the drawer 112 is loaded from above and from the side for loading and for the removal of objects and, as will be explained below, freely accessible for adjusting its inclination angle.

Further, the drawer 112 may be fully inserted into the body 101 of the cabinet 100 by a user engaging the handle 138 and brought into the fully inserted position of the drawer 112 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, in which the access opening 110 of the cabinet 100 is closed by the front plate 136.

The drawer 112 comprises a trough 132 as a receptacle 134 for receiving articles, which is shown in Figs. 7 to 10 as a whole.

The trough 132 comprises the already mentioned bottom part 130, four corner supports 140, two parallel to the extension direction 114 aligned side wall portions 142, two aligned perpendicular to the extension direction 114 side wall portions 144 and a cover frame 146th

The bottom part 130 of the trough 132 is shown in particular in the plan view of FIG. 10 and comprises a bottom bottom plate 148 and two upper bottom plates 150 offset upwardly relative to the bottom bottom plate 148, in their rear regions (viewed in the extension direction 114) one in each case essentially semicircular recess 152 is provided.

As best seen in FIGS. 29 to 31, in the region of each of the recesses 152, a hollow-cylindrical sleeve 154 is molded onto the respective base plate 150.

In particular, it can be provided that the bottom part 130 is made with the sleeves 154 by an injection molding of a suitable plastic material.

The hollow cylindrical interior of each sleeve 154 forms a passage opening 156, which passes through the bottom portion 130 substantially vertically and at its upper end into the interior 158 of the trough 132 and at its lower end in one of the receiving grooves 128 at the bottom of the bottom portion 130 opens.

The sleeve 154 is provided on its inner side with an internal thread, which can be molded in during the production of the bottom part 130 or after the manufacture of the bottom part 130 in the inside of the sleeve 154 can be cut.

In this internal thread of the sleeve 154, an external thread 160 of a substantially hollow cylindrical threaded insert 162 shown in detail in FIGS. 22 to 24 is screwed.

The threaded insert 162 is provided on its inside with an internal thread 164 and has at its lower end a radially outwardly projecting abutment flange 166, which in the assembled state of the threaded insert 162, in which the threaded insert 162 from the bottom of the Bottom part 130 ago is completely screwed into the internal thread of the sleeve 154 forth, flat on the lower end face of the sleeve 154 rests.

In order to rotate the threaded insert 162 by means of a suitable rotary tool, for example by means of a screwdriver, it is provided at its upper end with a radially extending slot 166 ', in which the rotary tool for screwing the threaded insert 162 into the sleeve 154 of the interior 158 of the trough 132 can engage.

As best seen in FIG. 24, a thread-free portion 170 is formed on the outside of the threaded insert 162 between the abutment flange 166 and the external thread 160 of the threaded insert 162.

As can best be seen from FIGS. 30 and 31, an external thread 172 of an adjusting screw 176 serving as an adjusting element 174 is screwed into the internal thread 164 of the threaded insert 162.

At its dipping into the threaded insert 162 upper end, the adjusting screw 176 is provided with a hexagonal recess 178, in which a suitable rotary tool, in particular a hex key, can engage from the interior 158 of the trough 132 to the adjusting screw 176 upwards in the internal thread 164 of the threaded insert 162 into or down from the internal thread 164 of the threaded insert 162 to turn out.

At its lower, above the threaded insert 162 projecting end of the adjusting screw 176 is provided with a screw head 180 having a radial slot 182 on its underside, in which a suitable Rotary tool, such as a screwdriver, can engage from the bottom of the bottom part 130 forth to turn the adjusting screw 176 upwards into the internal thread 164 of the threaded insert 162.

Between the top of the screw head 180 and the external thread 172 of the adjusting screw 176, an annular groove 184 is provided, so that the outer diameter of the adjusting screw 176 in the region of the annular groove 184 is smaller than in the adjacent areas, that is in the region of the external thread 172 and in the region of Screw head 180.

In the assembled state of the drawer 112 engages in this annular groove 184 a retaining edge 186 of a designated as a whole with 188 holding element, which is locked in the assembled state with the drawer-side guide rail 126 of the pullout guide 118.

By the engagement between the retaining edge 186 and the annular groove 184 of the adjusting screw 176, the adjusting screw 176 is prevented from moving in its longitudinal direction relative to the retaining element 188 and thus relative to the drawer-side guide rail 126, so that a screwing in of the adjusting screw 176 in the threaded insert 162nd causes the threaded insert 162, the sleeve 154 and thus the bottom part 130 of the trough 132 to be pulled down towards the drawer-side guide rail 126 (see FIG. 31), while unscrewing the adjusting screw 176 from the threaded insert 162 results in that the threaded insert 162, the sleeve 154 and thus the bottom part 130 of the trough 132 are moved upward away from the drawer-side guide rail 126.

The retaining element 188 shown in detail in FIGS. 16 to 19 essentially has the shape of a profile sheet with a U-shaped cross-section, which includes a left leg 190, a right leg 192 and a horizontal leg 194 connecting the left leg 190 to the right leg 192.

As can best be seen from FIGS. 16 to 18, a substantially cuboid elevation 196 is formed in the rear region of the web 194, into which a slot 198 extending in the longitudinal direction of the retaining element 188 extends.

The slot 198 opens at the rear end of the elevation 196 in a transversely to the longitudinal direction of the support member 188 extending transverse hole 200, so that the slot 198 and the transverse hole 200 together form a substantially T-shaped through hole in the support member 188.

The area of the elevation 196 which borders the slot 198 forms the retaining edge 186 of the retaining element 188, which engages in the annular groove 184 of the adjusting screw 176 and thereby fixes the adjusting screw 176 in its axial position relative to the retaining element 188, wherein (see FIGS ), the screw head 180 engages under the retaining edge 186 and is thus arranged in the region between the holding element 188 and the drawer-side guide rail 126.

The transverse hole 200 serves to be able to insert the screw head 180 first into the transverse hole 200 and then out of the transverse hole 200 along the oblong hole 198 into the space below the elevation 196 of the holding element 188.

At its front end, the holding member 188 is provided with a projecting upwardly from the web 194 bracket 202 which comprises a vertical leg 204 and a rearwardly extending from the upper edge of the vertical leg 204 shorter horizontal leg 206.

The bracket 202 is used for locking the front end of the respective holding member 188 with the front of the bottom part 130th

As best seen in FIGS. 7 and 8, the bracket 202 surrounds the front edge of the bottom portion 130, wherein each provided at the top of the bottom portion 130 nub 208 by a provided in the horizontal leg 206 of the respective bracket 202 latching opening 210th (See Fig. 16 and 17) passes through, whereby the bracket 202 after pushing on the front edge of the bottom part 130 can not be moved back.

The remainder of the respective holding element 188 extends below the bottom part 130 through in each case one of the receiving grooves 128.

In order to lock the holding element 188 in the completely assembled state of the drawer 112 with the drawer-side guide rail 126, a latching part 212 shown in detail in FIGS. 25 to 27 is provided.

The locking part 212 comprises a substantially rectangular, flat plate 214, from the lateral edges 216 from each a long latching tab 218 and a short positioning tab 220 extend substantially vertically upwards, (seen in the extension direction 114) on one side the plate 214, the short positioning tab 220 in front of the long locking tab 218 and on the opposite side of the plate 214, the long locking tab 218 is arranged in front of the short positioning tab 220.

From a rear edge of the plate 214 extends a ridge 222 rearwardly, which connects via an angled portion 224 to the plate 214 and is provided on its outer side with a blocking element 226 which extends from the web 222 from substantially vertically downwards and in side view has a triangular contour with a substantially vertical front edge 228 and an obliquely downwardly extending rear edge 230.

Further extends from the rear edge of the plate 214 from a spring member 232 to the rear, which is immediately adjacent to the plate 214, a substantially semicircular arc 234 and a bow 234 to the rear subsequent latching tongue 236 with a substantially horizontal portion 238th and an oblique portion 240 extending obliquely to the horizontal.

The latching tabs 218 and the positioning tabs 220 of the latching part 212 serve to latch the latching part 212 to the holding element 188.

For this purpose, the holding element 188 between the elevation 196 and its front end two perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the holding member 188 spaced apart longitudinal slots 242 and over almost the entire width of the web 194 of the support member 188 extending through opening 244, on one side of the web shorter than on the other side.

In order to lock the latching part 212 with the holding element 188, the latching part 212 is moved from the underside of the holding element 188 forth between the legs 190, 192 therethrough until the locking tabs 218 and the positioning tabs 220 pass through the longitudinal slots 242 of the holding member 188 and the locking tabs 218, after passing through due to their inherent elasticity so deform back so that they prevent a movement back of the locking member 212 down.

In this latched state, the spring element 232 and the web 222 of the locking member 212 pass upwardly through the passage opening 244 of the holding member 188, wherein the spring member 232 is disposed on the shorter side of the passage opening 244 and the free end of the web 222 from above on the Ridge 194 of the holding element 188 rests (see in particular Fig. 34).

In order to be able to latch the holding element 188 with the latching part 212 on the drawer-side guide rail 126 of the drawer guide 118, the drawer-side guide rail 126 is provided with a substantially rectangular passage opening 246 on its upper side, near its front end (seen in the drawing-out direction 114).

A smaller, not over the entire width of the drawer-side guide rail 126 extending inlet opening 248 is provided behind the passage opening 246 at an outer edge of the upper side of the drawer-side guide rail 126 (see in particular Figs. 11 to 14).

Further, near a rear end of the extraction-side guide rail 126, there is formed on the same a retaining tab 250, which extends from the The upper side of the drawer-side guide rail 126 comprises an upwardly extending portion 252 and a substantially horizontal portion 254 extending forwards from the upper edge of the portion 252.

In order to fix the holding element 188 to the latching part 212 detachably on the drawer-side guide rail 126, the holding element is placed on the drawer-side guide rail 126 with the drawer slide 118 pulled out and pushed backward under a downward pressure force until the rear end of the holding element 188 moves under the retaining tab 250 passes and the latching tongue 236 of the locking member 212 passes under elastic deformation through the passage opening 246 at the top of the drawer-side guide rail 126 and immersed in the space below the top of the drawer-side guide rail 126, so that the latching tongue 236 rests from below on the drawer-side guide rail 126 (see Figs. 32 and 33) and so lifting the latch member 212 and the holding member 188 of the drawer-side guide rail 126 upwards is only possible if for this the force required to deform the spring element 232 is applied.

Simultaneously with the latching by the latching tongue 236, the blocking element 226 enters the inlet opening 248 at the top of the drawer-side guide rail 126, so that the latching part 212 and thus the holding element 188 by contact of the front edge 228 of the locking element 226 with the front edge of Entry opening 248 are secured against movement relative to the drawer-side guide rail 126 along the extension direction 114 forward.

The latching of the holding element 188 and the latching part 212 on the drawer-side guide rail 126 preferably takes place in a state in which the both pullout guides 118 of the full extension guide assembly 116 are both fully extended.

If in the manner described above, the holding member 188 is fixed by the locking part 212 on the drawer-side guide rail 126 and the adjusting screw 176 on the one hand with the retaining edge 186 of the holding member 188 and on the other hand with the threaded insert 162 is engaged, the trough 132 relative to the Pulling guides 118 are pivoted upwards or downwards about the lower front edge 256 of the bottom part 130 by the adjusting screw 176 being removed from the internal thread 164 of the hexagon key inserted into the hexagon recess 178 of the adjusting screw 176 from the interior 158 of the trough 132 Thread insert 162 out or further up into the internal thread 164 of the threaded insert 162 is rotated into.

If both adjusting screws 176 placed on the two sides of the bottom part 130 in the illustrated in Fig. 30 lower end position, the bottom part 130 is raised in the region of the adjusting screws 176 maximum, with the result that the fixed to the front side wall of the trough 132 Front plate 136 assumes the position shown in Fig. 4, in which the upper edge of the front plate 136 projects beyond the lower edge to the front.

If, on the other hand, the adjusting screws 176 are brought into the upper end position shown in FIG. 31, in which the bottom part 130 of the trough 132 is maximally lowered, then the front plate 136 fixed to the front side wall of the trough 132 assumes the position shown in FIG. in which the lower edge of the front panel 136 projects forward beyond its upper edge.

If the adjusting screws 176 are brought into a suitable intermediate position lying between these two end positions, the inclination of the bottom part 130 of the trough 132 relative to the drawer guides 118 and thus the position of the front plate 136 relative to the body 101 of the lower cabinet 100 can be adjusted so that the front plate 136 is aligned exactly parallel to the front wall 108 of the body 101 and in the fully inserted state of the drawer 112 is flush with the front wall 108.

In such an adjustment of the inclination of the bottom part 130 relative to the pullout guides 118 and the bracket 202 at the front ends of the holding elements 188, which are yes latched to the front edge of the bottom part 130, relative to the web 194 of the respective holding member 188 to the front lower edge 256 of the bottom part 130 pivoted, which is readily possible due to the elastic deformability of the material of the holding member 188.

Preferably, the holding elements 188 are made of a metallic material, in particular of a steel material.

The latching parts 212 and the guide rails of the pullout guides 118 are preferably formed of a metallic material, in particular of a steel material.

The front plate 136 of the drawer 112 is, as can be seen from Fig. 6, determined by means of eccentrics 258 on the front side wall portion 144a of the trough 132 that the front plate 136 is adjustable relative to the trough 132 in both the horizontal and in the vertical direction so that an orientation of the front panel 136 relative to the body 101 in horizontal and vertical Direction by adjusting the eccentric 258 from the interior 158 of the trough 132 can be made.

As with an adjustment of the inclination of the trough 132 relative to the drawer guides 118, the relative position of the front plate 136 to the trough 132 remains unchanged, the pressure surface over which the front plate 136 abuts the front side wall of the trough 132, at each set inclination 100 percent used.

An unintentional subsequent adjustment of the front plate 136 relative to the trough 132 when using the drawer 112 is thereby excluded.

Since in the tilt adjustment no relative movement between the front plate 136 and the trough 132 occurs, no gap between the trough 132 and the front plate 136 and thus no visual impairment.

The adjusting screws 176 are very easily accessible from the interior 158 of the trough 132 for carrying out the tilt adjustment.

By the interposition of the retaining element 188 between the bottom part 130 on the one hand and the drawer-side guide rail 126 on the other hand, the function of the inclination adjustment of the drawer guide 118 used in each case is independent.

Only the retaining element 188 and the locking part 212 must each be adapted to the used pullout guide 118, that the holding element 188 and the latching part 212 can be latched to the respective drawer-side rail 126.

• Zunächst werden jeweils ein Rastteil 212 und ein Halteelement 188 in der vorstehend beschriebenen Weise miteinander verrastet.
• Anschließend wird jedes Halteelement 188 mit seinem Haltewinkel 202 an dem vorderen Rand des Bodenteils 130 der Wanne 132 verrastet.
• Darauf wird jeweils eine Verstellschraube 176 so in das Langloch 198 des zugeordneten Halteelements 188 zugeführt, daß der Halterand 186 des Halteelements 188 in Eingriff mit der Ringnut 184 der Verstellschraube 176 kommt.
• Anschließend wird jede der Verstellschrauben 176 von der Unterseite des Bodenteils 130 her mittels eines Schraubendrehers, der in den Schlitz 182 an dem Schraubenkopf 180 eingreift, in das Innengewinde 164 des Gewindeeinsatzes 162 (welcher bereits vorher in das Innengewinde der zugehörigen Hülse 154 eingeschraubt worden ist) hineingedreht, so daß das Halteelement 188 auch über die Verstellschraube 176 mit dem Bodenteil 130 verbunden ist.
• Darauf werden die beiden Auszugsführungen 118, die bereits an der Bodenwand 103 des Korpus 101 montiert worden sind, vollständig ausgezogen, und die Wanne 132 mit den daran festgelegten Halteelementen 188 wird auf die auszugseitigen Führungsschienen 126 aufgesetzt und entgegen der Auszugsrichtung 114 in den Unterschrank 100 eingeschoben.

To mount the drawer 112 with the recliner described above, proceed as follows:

• First, a locking part 212 and a holding member 188 are each latched together in the manner described above.
• Subsequently, each retaining element 188 is locked with its bracket 202 at the front edge of the bottom part 130 of the trough 132.
• An adjusting screw 176 is then fed into the oblong hole 198 of the associated holding element 188 such that the holding edge 186 of the holding element 188 engages with the annular groove 184 of the adjusting screw 176.
• Subsequently, each of the adjusting screws 176 from the bottom of the bottom part 130 forth by means of a screwdriver which engages in the slot 182 on the screw head 180, in the internal thread 164 of the threaded insert 162 (which has been previously screwed into the internal thread of the associated sleeve 154) screwed into it, so that the holding element 188 is also connected via the adjusting screw 176 with the bottom part 130.
• Then the two pullout guides 118, which have already been mounted on the bottom wall 103 of the body 101, fully extended, and the trough 132 with the retaining elements 188 fixed thereto is placed on the drawer-side guide rails 126 and pushed against the extension direction 114 in the cabinet 100 ,

In this case, the rear ends of the holding elements 188 slide under the retaining tabs 250 of the drawer-side guide rails 126, and the spring elements 232 of the locking members 212 engage in the passage openings 246 of the drawer-side guide rails 126 a.

Thus, the releasable connection between the holding elements 188 with the locking parts 212 on the one hand and the drawer-side guide rails 126 on the other hand made.

This connection can be solved again by the front plate 136 is raised and moved along the extension direction 114 forward, whereby the trough 132, to which the front plate 136 is fixed, is moved relative to the drawer guides 118 first upwards and then forward whereby the latching tongues 236 of the spring elements 232 move out of the passage openings 246 of the drawer-side guide rails 126, so that the latching parts 212 and the support elements 188 are unlocked and released from the drawer-side guide rails 126.

After the trough 132 is secured in the manner described above to the drawer-side guide rails 126 of the pullout guides 118, the inclination of the trough 132 and thus the inclination of the front plate 136 is adjusted by turning the adjusting screws 176 from the interior 158 of the trough 132 in the desired manner ,

The relative position of the holding elements 188 remains unchanged to the drain-side guide rails 126, while the bottom part 130 of the tub 132 is lowered or raised in the region of the adjusting screws 176 relative to the holding elements 188.

In a variant of the embodiment described above, it could also be provided that the threaded insert 162 is not screwed into the sleeve 154 from the underside of the bottom part 130, but instead the threaded insert 162 from the interior 158 of the trough 132 from above into the internal thread of Sleeve 154 is screwed, so that the abutment flange 166 of the threaded insert 162 in the assembled state from above abuts flat against the top of the bottom part 130.
