Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement of a container, in particular a drawer, comprising two side walls and a container rear wall, and a guide device for the relative movement of the container with respect to a fixed furniture part, in particular a furniture body, wherein at least one current interface for supplying at least one current sink with energy is arranged on the guide device and/or the container in a movement-coupled manner with the container.
- the invention further relates to a side wall for a container, in particular a top strip for the side wall, for such an arrangement, and a container rear wall for a container for such an arrangement.
- the invention further relates to a piece of furniture and a method for assembling such an arrangement.
- a disadvantage of the prior art is that mounting the container on the guide device is difficult due to the inaccessibility of the chain bushing when the container is attached to the guide device or within a furniture body, as the rear wall of the container covers the chain bushing and the charger plug has to be connected in a cumbersome manner with little space for the installer. Similarly, dismantling the container is difficult because if the container is removed from the guide device there is a risk of irreparably damaging the charger plug connected to the rear wall of the container or the chain bushing connected to the guide device. On the one hand, the assembly and disassembly process steps are complex, and on the other hand, a large number of manual steps are necessary to take account of the necessary current-conducting connection of the socket.
- the socket protruding into the storage space of the container does not offer the possibility of using the power supply to drive the container via the guide device, whereby the power supply of the container is also limited to the socket itself.
