Definitions

• the present invention relates to an extraction guide for drawers or the like, for example extractable shelves or sliding parts of pieces of furniture, provided with adjustment means.
• the invention relates to an extraction guide for drawers or the like which is provided with rear adjustment means.
• the invention relates to an extraction guide for drawers or the like which is provided with adjustment means for adjusting the vertical position of the rear part of the drawer.
• each side of the drawer For the anchoring of each side of the drawer to a respective extraction guide, there are suitable fixing means arranged both at the front and at the rear of the drawer.
• the fixing means arranged at the front of the drawer are constituted by a clip device which connects a front end of the drawer to a respective front end of the movable part of the guide, while the fixing means arranged to the rear are constituted by a hook that protrudes longitudinally starting from the rear end of the movable part of the guide, so that it can be inserted in a respective engagement hole formed in the rear wall of the drawer.
• Means for vertically adjusting the position of the hooks are known for example from EP1147725, in which the rear hook is a separate part which is supported so that it can move vertically by the movable part of the guide and there is an actuation knob for setting the vertical position of said hook.
• the aim of the present invention is to provide an extraction guide for drawers or the like that allows to adjust vertically the rear part of the drawers with an adjustment device that is easily accessible.
• an object of the present invention is to provide an extraction guide for drawers or the like that allows to adjust the vertical position of the front of the drawer by acting on adjustment means which can be accessed easily at the bottom of said drawer.
• a further object of the present invention is to provide an extraction guide for drawers or the like in which the adjustment means do not vary the conventional space occupation of the drawer.
• an extraction guide for drawers or the like which comprises a fixed part adapted to be connected to a respective side wall of a piece of furniture, and a movable part adapted to be fixed to a drawer, said movable part of the guide having, at a front end, first fixing means that can be engaged at the front part of the drawer and at a rear end, which lies opposite said first front end, second fixing means that can be engaged at the rear part of the drawer, characterized in that said second fixing means comprise an elastically flexible part and in that said movable part of the guide comprises, at the rear end, vertical adjustment means for said rear part of the drawer, which are separate from said second fixing means.
• Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of the movable part of the extraction guide according to the present invention, at the rear end thereof;
• Figure 2 is another perspective view, taken from the opposite side with respect to Figure 1, of the guiding portion according to the present invention
• Figure 3 is another top perspective view of the extraction guide portion according to the present invention.
• Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of the extraction guide according to the invention applied to a drawer, in a vertically adjusted position;
• Figure 5 is a partial longitudinal sectional view of a detail of the extraction guide shown in the configuration of Figure 4;
• Figure 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of the sliding extraction guide applied to a drawer in the "zero" position condition, in which the drawer rests on the movable part of the guide;
• Figure 7 is a partial longitudinal sectional view of a detail of the extraction guide according to the invention, shown in Figure 6.
• the extraction guide designated generally by the reference numeral 1 , comprises a fixed part 2 of the guide that is adapted to be connected to a respective side wall of a piece of furniture (not shown), and a movable part 3 of the guide that can be fixed to a drawer 4.
• the movable part 3 of the guide has, at a front end, first fixing means which can be engaged at the front part of the drawer and, at an opposite rear end, second fixing means which can be engaged at the rear part of the drawer.
• the second fixing means comprise engagement means 5 which are adapted to be engaged in a hole 6 that is conveniently provided at a rear wall 20 of the drawer 4.
• the second fixing means comprise a portion 7 that can flex elastically in a vertical direction, i.e., can flex elastically along a direction that is parallel to the rear wall 5 of the drawer 4.
• the elastically flexible portion is conveniently formed as a separate component which is applied to the engagement means 5 and is constituted by a body 7a from which an elastic portion or flexible tab 7b protrudes which can flex elastically at least in a vertical direction.
• the body or portion 7a is conveniently arranged parallel to the movable part 3 of the guide.
• the elastically flexible portion 7 is coupled to the engagement means
• the guide according to the invention further comprises means for vertical adjustment of the rear part of the drawer 4, which are separate from the second fixing means 5.
• the adjustment means designated by the reference numeral 10, conveniently comprise wedge means which are adapted to be inserted between the movable part 3 of the guide and the bottom 11 of the drawer, at the rear part 20 of the drawer.
• the wedge means are conveniently actuated by actuation means, for example a lever 13 connected to them, and are adapted to allow the movement of the wedge means 12 along an inclined plane 14 and are provided with a set of teeth 15 along which the lever 13 can move by snap action.
• actuation means for example a lever 13 connected to them, and are adapted to allow the movement of the wedge means 12 along an inclined plane 14 and are provided with a set of teeth 15 along which the lever 13 can move by snap action.
• the actuation lever 13 protrudes laterally with respect to the movable part 3 of the extraction guide in order to be actuatable easily from the sides of the drawer.
• Figure 4 is view of the guide according to the invention applied to a drawer 4 in a vertically adjusted position, i.e., with the drawer raised from the guide due to the interposition of the wedge means 12 of the adjustment means 10 between the movable part 3 of the guide and the bottom 11 of the drawer.
• the elastically flexible element 7 is accommodated within the hole 6 of the rear wall 20 of the drawer 4 with the flexible tab 7b deformed elastically due to the lifting of the lower wall of the hole 6.
• Figure 5 is a view of a detail of what has been described above.
• Figure 6 shows the "zero" adjustment position, i.e., the position in which the drawer rests on the movable part 3 of the guide, with the wedge means 12 of the rear adjustment means 10 no longer inserted between the movable part 3 of the guide and the bottom 11 of the drawer.
• the elastically flexible portion is not a component that is separate from the engagement means 5 but is constituted by a section of the engagement means 5 that is formed in an elastically flexible manner.
• the wedge means 12 can move rotatably or can slide in a linear manner.
• the elastically flexible part of the second fixing means and the vertical adjustment means are preferentially shaped so that they can be applied, even at a later time, to standard or adapted guides, for example by virtue of adapted means for snap coupling or shape engagement between said components and the guides.
• the extraction guide might comprise a movable part that is intermediate between the fixed part and said movable part in order to allow complete extraction of the drawer.
• the materials used, as well as the contingent shapes and dimensions may be any according to the requirements and the state of the art.
