Abstract

A pull-out guide for a drawer or pull-out of furniture. The pull-out guide includes a guide rail attachable to a body of the furniture, a self-retracting device mounted on the guide rail, a running rail mountable on the drawer, and an actuator attached to the running rail to control the self-retracting device.

Claims (28)

1 . A pull-out guide for a drawer or pull-out of furniture, the pull-out guide comprising:

a guide rail attachable to a body of the furniture;

a self-retracting device mounted on the guide rail;

a running rail mountable on the drawer;

an actuator attached to the running rail to control the self-retracting device, the actuator being fixed to the running rail in a locking manner at a closing stopper inserted into a forward end area of the running rail; and

wherein the actuator includes two detent hooks which extend through the closing stopper in an area of two openings and, by way of detent noses provided at free ends of the detent hooks, the detent hooks reach in a locking manner behind a web between the two openings.

2 . The pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the actuator is attached in a forward end area of the running rail.

3 - 4 . (canceled)

5 . The pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the detent hooks, extend through the openings, and, by way of the detent noses at free ends of the detent hooks, the detent hooks reach behind a web at a rearward end of the actuator.

6 . The pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the actuator includes a control nose which projects into an area of the self-retracting device and is configured to be moved perpendicularly with respect to a connection plane between the running rail and the actuator in an elastic manner.

7 . The pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the actuator is made of a plastic material.

8 . The pull-out guide according to claim 7 , wherein the actuator is constructed as a one-piece injection-molded part.

9 . The pull-out guide according to claim 5 , wherein the detent hooks are each arranged on a base of the actuator and that each base engages in an opening of the running rail.

10 . The pull-out guide according to claim 9 , wherein the openings of the running rail and each base have a rectangular surface area.

11 . The pull-out guide according to claim 9 , wherein a height of the bases is equal to a thickness of a side wall of the running rail that is provided with the openings through which the bases extend.

12 . The pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the running rail includes actuator openings on two mutually opposite sides, so that the actuator is configured to be attached via the actuator openings on either the left or right side of the running rail.

13 . A pull-out guide for a drawer or pull-out of furniture, the pull-out guide comprising:

a guide rail attachable to a body of the furniture;

a self-retracting device mounted on the guide rail;

a running rail mountable on the drawer;

an actuator attached to the running rail to control the self-retracting device;

wherein the actuator and a closing stopper are inserted in a forward area of the running rail and form a sub-assembly, which sub-assembly is attached by one or both of interlocking and frictional fixing of the closing stopper on the running rail; and

further wherein the actuator includes two detent hooks which extend through the closing stopper in an area of two openings and, by way of detent noses provided at free ends of the detent hooks, the detent hooks reach in a locking manner behind a web between the two openings.

14 . The pull-out guide according to claim 13 , wherein the subassembly formed of the actuator and the closing stopper is constructed as a one-piece component.

15 . The pull-out guide according to claim 14 , wherein the component is made of a plastic material.

16 . The pull-out guide according to claim 13 , wherein an area of the closing stopper is pushed into the running rail and includes detent grooves which corresponding detent devices of the running rail engage.

17 . The pull-out guide according to claim 13 , wherein the running rail includes actuator openings, and detent elements molded onto an area of the closing stopper dipping into the running rail engage in the actuator openings.

18 . The pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the closing stopper is used to fix the actuator with respect to the running rail.
