Abstract

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

Claims (15)

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, the self-retracting device including a driving device;

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 the actuator and the closing stopper form a sub-assembly, which sub-assembly is attached by one or both of an interlocking and a frictional fixing on the running rail; and

further wherein the actuator includes a control nose which selectively engages with the driving device and the control nose of the actuator is configured to be moved by the driving device perpendicularly with respect to a connection plane between the running rail and the actuator in an elastic manner to enable transition of the control nose from a disengaged position with respect to the driving device and an engaged position with respect to the driving device.

2. The pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the subassembly formed of the actuator and the closing stopper is constructed as a one-piece component.

3. The pull-out guide according to claim 2 wherein the one-piece component is made of a plastic material.

4. The pull-out guide according to claim 2 , wherein the subassembly is constructed as a one-piece injection-molded part.

5. The pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the driving device is a U-shaped driving device having a first wall and a second wall that includes a curved plane.

6. The pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the actuator has a first tooth, a second tooth, and bridge therebetween.

7. The pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the closing stopper is inserted into the running rail and the closing stopper includes detent grooves into which corresponding detent devices of the running rail engage.

8. The pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the running rail includes actuator openings, and detent elements molded onto the actuator that dip into the running rail engage in the actuator openings.

9. The pull-out guide according to claim 1 , wherein the closing stopper is used to fix the subassembly to the running rail.
