Abstract

A sliding arrangement, in particular a slide-out device for drawers, sliding doors, etc., includes a sliding piece and a pulling arrangement which can be coupled together by a coupling piece. The pulling arrangement can be placed in a resiliently pretensioned manner in a parking position and can be blocked in the parking position by a locking element. In order to ensure a reliable movement of a drawer or the like into the closure position, the locking element may be locked in the parking position of the pulling arrangement by a bar.

Claims (38)

1. A slide-out assembly comprising:

a slide piece;

a pull assembly configured to be resiliently pretensioned in a parking position;

a coupler connected to the slide piece and the pull assembly;

a lock element configured to block the pull assembly in the parking position, the lock element including:

a retention member; and

a guide element disposed on the retention member, the guide element configured to adjust according to a guide recess when the lock element is displaced with the pull assembly; and

a bar configured to lock the lock element in the parking position.

2. A slide-out assembly comprising:

a slide piece;

a pull assembly configured to be resiliently pretensioned in a parking position;

a coupler connected to the slide piece and the pull assembly;

a lock element configured to block the pull assembly in the parking position, the lock element including a lock switch member;

a bar configured to lock the lock element in the parking position; and

wherein the slide piece is configured to actuate the lock switch member.

3. The slide-out assembly of claim 2 , further comprising a bar spring configured to resist an actuation of the bar.

4. The slide-out assembly of claim 2 , wherein:

the bar includes a bar switch portion; and

the lock element includes a lock release portion configured to cooperate with the bar switch portion to move the bar from the parking position.

5. The slide-out assembly of claim 2 , wherein:

the pull assembly includes a lock bearing, the lock element pivotably supported on the lock bearing; and

the lock element further includes a retention member, the retention member and the lock switch member forming lever arms of the lock element.

6. The slide-out assembly of claim 2 , further comprising:

a release piece configured to move between a release position and a locked position; and

wherein the slide piece includes a release end and a coupler end opposite the release end, the release end connected to the release piece and the coupler end connected to the coupler.

7. The slide-out assembly of claim 2 , further comprising at least two springs configured to act on the slide piece and move the slide piece to a slide out position.

8. The slide-out assembly of claim 7 , wherein the springs are positioned in parallel to each other.

9. The slide-out assembly of claim 7 , wherein the at least two springs includes a pressure spring and a draw spring.

10. A slide-out assembly comprising:

a slide piece;

a pull assembly configured to be resiliently pretensioned in a parking position;

a coupler connected to the slide piece and the pull assembly;

a lock element configured to block the pull assembly in the parking position;

a bar configured to lock the lock element in the parking position, the bar including an actuation piece;

an actuation switch configured to act on the actuation piece and actuate the bar when the lock element is blocked; and

wherein the pull assembly includes an actuation switch bearing, the actuation switch pivotably supported on the actuation switch bearing.

11. The slide-out assembly of claim 10 , wherein the slide piece is configured to switch the actuation switch.

12. The slide-out assembly of claim 10 , wherein the actuation switch includes a switch lever with a first switch lever arm configured to move into operational connection with the slide piece and a second switch lever arm configured to move into operational connection with the bar.
