Definitions

• the invention relates to a positioning device for positioning an ejection device for ejecting a movably mounted furniture part from a closed end position relative to a furniture body, with a guide element, which on a substantially horizontally extending cabinet bottom of the furniture body to is fastened, and wherein a carrier element of the ejection device can be positioned by the guide element.
• the invention relates to an arrangement with a positioning device of the type to be described and a piece of furniture with such an arrangement.
• Devices for positioning ejection devices for ejecting movably mounted furniture parts from a furniture body are already known. These devices are used in the assembly of ejection devices, especially in cupboard-shaped furniture with one or more drawers, the drawers are each movable by their associated ejection devices from their closed end positions relative to the furniture body of the furniture in an open position. This can be done, for example, by an ejection element of the ejection device, for example an ejection lever, resting against the rear wall when the end position of the drawer is closed and pressing against this rear wall when activated so that the drawer is ejected from the furniture body in the opening direction.
• an ejection element of the ejection device for example an ejection lever
• AT 505 970 A1 shows a support structure for at least one ejection device, wherein this support structure comprises a mounting rail and two fastening devices.
• a first fastening device is fastened to the carcass base and a second fastening device to the carcass back wall, with an adjustment of the depth position of the ejection device with respect to the movable furniture part by a bearing part of the second fastening device.
• the assembly work for the support structure of the ejection devices is relatively high, since first the first fastening device on the body floor and then the second fastening device are to be attached to the body rear wall.
• the mounting rail can then be mounted between these two fastening devices, wherein an adjustment in the depth direction can be carried out by the second fastening device.

• the guide element is then placed with its stop at the angle between the cabinet bottom and the rear wall of the carcase or in the absence of the rear wall flush with the rear edge of the cabinet floor.
• a section protruding substantially vertically downwards in the mounting position from the transverse section of the guide element can facilitate the positioning of the guide element on the trailing edge of the cabinet floor.
• the guide element is now flush with the rear wall of the furniture body or on the trailing edge of the cabinet base, wherein the guide of the guide element extends at least in sections in the depth direction of the cabinet bottom.
• the guide element can now be moved along the edge into that position in which the marking attached to the bottom of the cabinet is visible through the recess of the guide element.
• the guide element is to be fixed in this position, for example by a double-sided adhesive tape, which is attached to the underside of the guide element.
• the support element, on which the ejection device is mounted is placed on the front end of the guide of the guide element by means of a recess or groove provided for this purpose.
• the drawer is pushed in the direction of its closed end position. In this case, the ejection device attached to the carrier element is inserted from the rear wall of the drawer along the guide.
• a spacer is provided, through which a predetermined relative distance between the movable furniture part and the ejection device can be fixed. This spacer ensures that after positioning the ejection device and removing the spacer, a corresponding release stroke for the ejection element of the ejection device is ensured.
