When using high front panels 3, it can happen that the base body 7a of the connecting device 7 is moved relative to the drawer side wall 2 when the front panel 3 is operated due to the large leverage effect. This undesirable relative movement between the base body 7a and the drawer side wall 2 in the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2 can be prevented by a

stabilizing device 23 can be inhibited.

The base body 7a of the connecting device 7 is firmly connected to the drawer side wall 2 in a first area 24a of the base body 7a. The first area 24a of the base body 7a is preferably the lower

end region of the base body 7a.

become.

In general, in a necking 28, a material of the drawer side wall 2 is pierced by a punch, for example a steel pin, so that a neck is formed on the drawer side wall 2 that presses against the base body 7a. The neck thus formed represents the firm connection between the

drawer side wall 2 and the base body 7a.

In the embodiment shown, several collars 28 are arranged in the first region 24a, which are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction L and which are preferably arranged in regions within the

Groove 9 for receiving the drawer bottom 5.

Alternatively or additionally, the fixed connection between the base body 7a and the drawer side wall 2 in the first area 24a can be made by screwing, riveting or gluing

The drawer side wall 2 has at least one stabilizing device 23, by means of which a relative position of the base body 7a relative to the drawer side wall 2 at least in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction L

direction can be stabilized.

The stabilizing device 23 is arranged in a second region 24b of the base body 7a, wherein the second region 24b of the base body 7a is separated in a height direction H of the drawer side wall 2 from the first region 24a of the base body

7a.

in the assembly position, upper end area of the base body 7a.

The stabilizing device 23 has at least one recess 23a and at least one projection 23b that can engage in the recess 23a. For example, it can be provided that the at least one recess 23a is formed in the drawer side wall 2 and the at least one projection 23b is formed on the base body 7a or can be inserted into the base body 7a.

is.

In the example shown, the drawer side wall

2 has a substantially rectangular cross-section.

The at least one recess 23a is at the front end region of the drawer side wall 2 and/or at the top 2b of the

Drawer side wall 2.

This results in the advantage that a force resulting from the movement of the front panel 3 when opening and closing the drawer 1 is introduced directly into the drawer side wall 2 via the stabilizing device 23, preferably via the projection 23b engaging in the recess 23a, whereby the play occurring between the front panel 3 and the

drawer side wall 2 is reduced or prevented.

According to Fig. 4a, the projection 23b and the base body 7a are designed as two separate components. The projection 23b can be inserted into the base body 7a after the base body 7a has been inserted into the front end region of the

drawer side wall 2 was inserted.

Fig. 4b shows the base body 7a with the

Stabilization device 23 in a slightly modified

are formed as one piece.

The projection 23b is designed here as a spring-loaded catch, which is displaced in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction L against its spring-loaded effect when the base body 7a is inserted into the drawer side wall 2. With an aligned alignment between the recess 23a and the projection 23b, the projection 23b can be pushed into the

Snap into recess 23a of drawer side wall 2.

The holding device 14 can be seen with the latch 14a, which is mounted so as to be linearly displaceable in the height direction H and which is guided by a spring 25 in the direction of a fitting part

7b locking position.

When the holding section 15 of the fitting part 7b is pushed into the insertion opening 8 of the base body 7a, the holding section 15 displaces the spring-loaded latch 14a of the holding device 14 upwards in the height direction H, whereby the spring 25 is loaded. For this purpose, the holding section 15 can have at least one inclined surface for displacing the spring-loaded

bar 14a.

During a further insertion movement, the holding section 15 of the fitting part 7b can be automatically locked by the force of the charged spring 25. Such holding devices 14 are known in many embodiments according to the prior art.

and do not need to be described in more detail here.

The base body 7a has a support web 11 for supporting the

drawer bottom 5 and at least one driver 26,

which in an assembled state into a corresponding

drawer bottom 5.

The driver 26 enables the drawer 1 to be coupled to a movement of an extendable guide rail of a drawer pull-out guide on the one hand, and on the other hand the driver 26 limits a horizontal relative movement between the drawer 1 and the extendable guide rail

or prevented.

The method for producing a drawer side wall 2 is characterized by the following steps: — in a first step, the base body 7a is inserted into the

Drawer side wall 2 inserted,

— in a further step, the base body 7a is firmly connected to the drawer side wall 2 in a first area 24a,

— in a further step, the base body 7a is fixed relative to the drawer side wall 2 in a second region 24b of the base body 7a by means of the stabilizing device 23

stabilized.

By means of a coupling device 12, preferably with a pivotable coupling lever 12a, the drawer side wall 2 can be coupled to an extendable guide rail of a drawer extension guide. The pivotable coupling lever 12a is guided by at least one spring element in the direction of the guide rail

locking position.

The coupling device 12 can be released by a release device 13, preferably with a release element 13a in the form of a slider that can be moved linearly in the longitudinal direction L. By means of a

Movement of the release element 13a in the pull-out direction of the drawer

spring element can be reset.

A further spring element 27, preferably made of plastic, is arranged on the release element 13a, whereby the spring element 27 can be supported on the drawer side wall 2, preferably in a stationary manner. This spring element 27 ensures the correct position of the release element 13a. If the release element 13a is pulled manually in the direction of the drawer 1, the coupling lever 12a is in a guide rail of the

Drawer pull-out guide can be moved to the release position.
