Abstract

A pull-out drawer guide having a cabinet rail for attaching to a furniture cabinet, a drawer rail for attaching to a drawer, a roller carriage having rollers, which, during relative movement of the rails, roll on a guide face of the respective rail. The pull-out guide includes on the cabinet rail, an automatic retraction mechanism which, by means of a catch element, catches the drawer rail in a closure movement and moves it to a closed position relative to the cabinet rail. The cabinet rail has a stop element, and the drawer rail has an abutment element, wherein, at a catch position of the cabinet rail, a distance between the stop and abutment elements is smaller than a maximum length of movement of a coupling element of a force accumulator of the automatic retraction mechanism, the distance being parallel to a direction of movement of the drawer rail.

Claims (12)

1. A pull-out guide for guiding a drawer, having a cabinet rail for attaching to a furniture cabinet, and a drawer rail for attaching to a drawer, wherein a roller carriage is provided, rollers of which roller carriage, during a movement of the rails relative to each other, roll on a guide face of the respective rail, wherein the roller carriage has a latch element, the latch element being configured so that lateral movement play of the drawer rail relative to the roller carriage is avoided, wherein the pull-out guide comprises, on the cabinet rail, an automatic retraction mechanism which, by means of a catch element, catches the drawer rail in a closure movement and moves it to a closed position relative to the cabinet rail, wherein the cabinet rail has a stop element, and the drawer rail has an abutment element, wherein, at a catch position of the cabinet rail, a distance between the stop element and the abutment element is smaller than a maximum length of movement of a coupling element of a force accumulator of the automatic retraction mechanism, wherein the distance is to be seen parallel to a direction of movement of the drawer rail.

2. The pull-out guide for guiding a drawer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the roller carriage has two latch elements, which are designed lying opposite each other on the roller carriage.

3. The pull-out guide for guiding a drawer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the latch element is elastically resilient.

4. The pull-out guide for guiding a drawer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a first rail of said cabinet and drawer rails of the pull-out guide comprises a bearing member, and a further rail of said cabinet and drawer rails comprises a support element, wherein the bearing member, in the fully opened state of the first rail relative to the further rail, touches the support element in order to support the first rail.

5. The pull-out guide for guiding a drawer as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the bearing member is bent out from the first rail.

6. The pull-out guide for guiding a drawer as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the support element comprises a bearing roller.

7. The pull-out guide for guiding a drawer as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the bearing member has a ramp for the bearing roller of the support element.

8. The pull-out guide for guiding a drawer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stop element is bent out from the cabinet rail.

9. The pull-out guide for guiding a drawer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the abutment element is mounted on the drawer rail.

10. An item of furniture with a pull-out guide as claimed in claim 1 .

11. A pull-out guide for guiding a drawer, having a cabinet rail for attaching to a furniture cabinet, and a drawer rail for attaching to a drawer, wherein a roller carriage is provided, rollers of which roller carriage, during a movement of the rails relative to each other, roll on a guide face of the respective rail, characterized in that the pull-out guide comprises, on the cabinet rail, an automatic retraction mechanism which, by means of a catch element, catches the drawer rail in a closure movement and moves it to a closed position relative to the cabinet rail, wherein the cabinet rail has a stop element, and the drawer rail has an abutment element, wherein, at a catch position of the cabinet rail, a distance between the stop element and the abutment element is smaller than a maximum length of movement of a coupling element of a force accumulator of the automatic retraction mechanism, wherein the distance is to be seen parallel to a direction of movement of the drawer rail.

12. A pull-out guide for guiding a drawer, having a cabinet rail for attaching to a furniture cabinet, and a drawer rail for attaching to a drawer, wherein a roller carriage is provided, rollers of which roller carriage, during a movement of the rails relative to each other, roll on a guide face of the respective rail, wherein a first rail of said cabinet and drawer rails of the pull-out guide comprises a bearing member, and a further rail of said cabinet and drawer rails comprises a support element, wherein the bearing member, in the fully opened state of the first rail relative to the further rail, touches the support element in order to support the first rail, wherein the pull-out guide comprises, on the cabinet rail, an automatic retraction mechanism which, by means of a catch element, catches the drawer rail in a closure movement and moves it to a closed position relative to the cabinet rail, wherein the cabinet rail has a stop element, and the drawer rail has an abutment element, wherein, at a catch position of the cabinet rail, a distance between the stop element and the abutment element is smaller than a maximum length of movement of a coupling element of a force accumulator of the automatic retraction mechanism, wherein the distance is to be seen parallel to a direction of movement of the drawer rail.
