An adjusting means 1 comprises a receptacle 2, a spring element 3 and two operating levers 4, 5 (FIG. FIGS. 1 to 3 ).

The receptacle 2 of the adjusting means 1 is formed as a flat disc-shaped member on which the spring member. 3 and the operating levers 4, 5 are arranged projecting in a direction parallel to each other. The receptacle 2 comprises two bores 27, 28, via which the receptacle 2 is rotatably attached by means of a bolt 26 to a holding member 12. For this purpose, the bolt 26 is widened disc-like widened at its upper end and this widened disc is embedded in a corresponding omission on a top 29 of the receptacle 2 such that the top 29 terminates approximately flush with the outer bolt disc. Due to the disc-like widening of the bolt 26, the receptacle 2, in the direction parallel to the axis of rotation on the bolt 26, rotatably fixed to the holding member 12.

The operating levers 4, 5 are formed, for example, as elongated or rod-shaped, flat, resilient elements and have on their narrow outer side surface gripping elements 6, 7. For this purpose, the narrow, outer side surface of the operating lever 4, 5 are advantageously curved inwardly circular or curved and on the surface of the gripping element 6, 7 and the side surface is a particular corrugated structure 8, 9 is formed.

At an outer end 16, 17 of the operating lever 4, 5, for example, wedge-shaped operating members 18, 19 are formed opposite each other on the operating lever 4, 5. The operating levers 4, 5 are formed on the holding member 12 such that they can be deflected in a plane E1 parallel to a surface 30 of the holding member 12 resiliently.

The spring member 3 is also formed as an elongated or rod-shaped, flat, resilient element and comprises on a wide, elongated side surface 10, which faces the holding member 12 of the latching arrangement in the assembled state on the latching arrangement 11, a latching lug 13. The latching lug 13 is made the surface of the side surface 10 protruding and is formed to fit a recess 14 of an adjustment element 15.

The spring member 3 is arranged on the receptacle 2 such that it can be deflected in a direction R1 perpendicular to the surface 30 of the holding member 12 and perpendicular to a spring direction of the operating lever 4, 5 resiliently.

The adjusting element 15 is in the mounted state of a latching arrangement 11, which comprises the adjusting means 1, the holding member 12 and the adjusting element 15, slidably disposed between the holding member 12 and the adjusting means 1 ( FIG. 4 ).

• In einem ersten Schritt ergreift ein Nutzer beispielsweise mit einer Hand die beiden Bedienhebel 4, 5 an den Greifelementen 6, 7 und drückt bzw. verbiegt beide Bedienhebel 4, 5 aus ihrer Ausgangsstellung an der Aufnahme 2 aufeinander zu. Hierdurch werden die keilförmigen Bedienorgane 18, 19 unter das Federorgan 3 geschoben bzw. gedrückt. Das Federorgan 3 weicht mit einer federnden Bewegung senkrecht zur Biegebewegung der Bedienhebel 4, 5 und senkrecht zur Oberfläche 30 des Halteorgans 12 weg von der Oberfläche 30 den Bedienorganen 18, 19 aus. Die Rastnase 13 des Federorgans 3 löst sich durch die Ausweichbewegung aus seiner fixierten bzw. verrasteten Position aus der Vertiefung 14 des Justageelements 15. Dadurch wird eine Fixierung des Justageelements 15 gelöst.

The adjustment of the adjustment element 15 on the latching arrangement 11 by a user can proceed as follows:

• In a first step, a user grips, for example with one hand, the two operating levers 4, 5 on the gripping elements 6, 7 and pushes or bends both operating levers 4, 5 from their starting position on the receptacle 2 towards each other. As a result, the wedge-shaped operating members 18, 19 are pushed or pressed under the spring member 3. The spring member 3 deviates with a resilient movement perpendicular to the bending movement of the operating lever 4, 5 and perpendicular to the surface 30 of the holding member 12 away from the surface 30 of the operating members 18, 19. The locking lug 13 of the spring member 3 is released by the evasive movement of its fixed or latched position from the recess 14 of the adjusting element 15. This fixation of the adjusting element 15 is released.

It is also conceivable that, in a first step, a user actuates only a single control lever 4, 5 in order to achieve an adjustment of the spring element 3. Furthermore, it is correspondingly conceivable that the adjusting means in a further variant comprises a single operating lever 4.5 for adjusting the spring member 3.

In a next step, the user can now, with further held or compressed control levers 4, 5 change a position H of the adjusting element 15 relative to the holding member 12.

In a further step, the user lets go of the operating lever 4, 5, this soft in their starting position relative to the receptacle 2, due to their design as a spring element, back. The tensioned spring member 3 thus also pushes back into its starting position in the direction of the surface 30 (R2).

Finally, the user turns the adjusting means 1 about the axis of rotation of the bolt 26 until the locking lug 13 engages in a recess 14 of the adjusting element 15. The locking arrangement 11 is thus fixed and adjusted in a new adjustment position ( FIG. 5 ).

In the assembled state, the latching arrangement 11 is screwed to the drawer 20 on an outer side surface 21 of the rear wall 22. The latching arrangement is arranged on the rear wall 22 such that it can interact with a guide rail 23, which is movably mounted relative to a carcass rail 24 on the furniture carcass 25 ( Figures 5 . 6 ).
