Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A drawer having two sides, preferably of metal, which have on their lower edge means to support the drawer bottom, wherein the means to support the drawer bottom consist of profile rails that are secured on the sides and have accommodating grooves that are open towards the interior of the drawer, to receive the drawer bottom with a positive fit. The profile rails may include:
additional guide pieces and/or retainers for roller or ball-bearing guide systems or with detents that are transverse to their longitudinal axes, and/or detent recesses. The profile rails are preferably produced as one piece from plastic or metal.

Description

13~ ~33~
l 23724-168 The present invention relates to a drawer with two sides, produced preEerably from metal, which have on thelr lower edge means to support the drawer bottom.
Drawers of thls klnd wlth sldes that are o~ metal are known per se. In previously known designs, the sides have supportlng llps Eormed by being bent out from their lower edges, the drawer bottom being supported on these lips.
In order -to secure the drawer bottom, attempts have been made to do this by means of attachment screws that pass through the supporting lips Erom below. This particular method oE
securing -the bottom of a drawer is both labour-intensive and thus costly. In addition, it is to be noted that it can only be used with comparatively thick bottoms, since it is not possible to screw attachment screws into comparatively thin drawer bottoms.
The present invention is designed to improve a drawer oE
this particular type such that a simple and reliable attachment of the drawer bottom can be achieved, regardless oE the thickness of the bottom.
The invention provides a drawer having two sides which have secured on their lower edge a profile rail each which has an accommodating groove that is open -toward the inside of the drawer and in which the drawer bottom engages positively, each profile rail being provided with means Eor supporting a drawer guide system, characterized ln tha-t the drawer sldes consist of a metal;
that the profile rails each have an accommodating slot for the drawer sides; that the drawer guide systems consist of ball-bearing guide systems situated below the drawer bottom; and that the means to secure these ball-bearing guide systems consist oE

:1 3~33~
la 23724~168 downward-extending retainers of the profile rails.
The use oE simply produced and cost-ef:Eect.ive profi:le rails in a drawer of the kind results in the considerable advantage that the attachment of the bottom is possible without the use ~3~33~
of screws.
Since, in general, the thickness of the drawer bottoms for drawers oE this kind is confined to two or three dimensions, the prefabrication of the profile rails with accommodating grooves of corresponding widths makes i-t possible to secure all likely drawer bottoms simply and positively.
The profile rails themselves can be o metal or of plastic, the production of profile rails from plastic being particularly economical.
Usually, drawers of the type according to the present invention are guided on rollers; to this end, the sides have in each instance on their upper edge area guide arms that are bent out from the sides. Since the profile rails used to support the drawer bottom are advantageously produced by extrusion, it is also possible to provide these profile rails with additional guide pieces and/or retainers for roller or ball-bearing guide systems.
This means that, if required, suitable guides for a drawer accord ing to the present invention can be selected as desired, depending on the intended use of the drawer.
In the same way, the profile rails can be provided with detents that are transverse to their longitudinal axes and/or with detent recesses, and these can then be used to fix the drawer relative to the roller and/or ball-bearing guide system.

Figure 15 is a view in the direction of the arrow XV in Figure 14.
Figure 1 shows the essential elemen-ts of a drawer that has sides 10 that are made of metal. Both of these sides 10 are rigidly attached at one end to the drawer front 11 or a front panel, and at the other to the drawer back 12 and, together with these, form a frame that is closed on all sides.
Both of the sides 10 have on their lower edges support ing lips 13 that are bent in towards the inside of the drawer, these supporting lips serving to support a drawer bottom (not shown in Figure 1).
Figure 2 shows, as an example, how a drawer bottom 14 such as is described above is supported according to the present invention.
A profile rail 13 is slid onto the supporting lips 13 of each of the sides 10; on the one hand, the rail grips the support-ing lip 13 and, on the other hand, it is provided with an accommo-dating groove 16, in which the drawer bottom 14 fits positively.
The accommodating grooves 1~ of the profile rails 15that are installed on the supporting lips 13 are open towards the inside of the drawer, so that the drawer bottom 14 can be installed without any problem in these accommodating grooves 16.
Since any displacement of the drawer bottom 14 in the longitudinal direction of the sides 10 is effectively prevented by the front 11 and by -the back 12 the attachment of the above-~3~3~
described profile rails 15 is sufficient to -fix the bottom 14 in position.
The profile rail 15 according to the embodiment shown in Figure 2 is shown once again in Figures 4 and 5. In the embodi-ment shown in Figures 2, 4, and 5, a relatively thick bottom 14 is used.
Figure 3 shows, amongst other things, that a suitably configured profile rail 15 with a narrow accommodating groove 16 also makes it possible to secure positively a correspondingly thinner bottom 14. In addition, the embodimen-t shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7 shows that the profile rails 15 can have an additional retainer 18 on the clamping arm 17 that fits beneath the supporting lip 13, this retainer 18 extending vertically down-wards. This additional retainer 18 serves to ensure the secure installation of a ball-bearing guide 19, as is shown clearly in Figure 3. This eliminates the necessity of supporting and guiding a drawer of this particular kind exclusively in the conventional manner, namely, by neans of rollers 20 tha-t are secured to the carcass 21 of the piece of furniture and to the drawer, and by way of guide rails 22 that are bent out from the sides 10, as is shown in Figure 2. Thus, the guide rails 15 ensure ~he secure and cost-effective installation of the drawer bottom 14 in each instance, and, if required, the use of special guides.
In the embodiment that is shown in Figures 8 to 10, the profile rails 15 have a longitudinal slot 23 that is open towards the side 10 and are slid onto -the lower edge of the sides 10 where they are secured by set screws 24 that are screwed into the face ~3~33~

~ 6 - ~372~-168 ends of the profile rails 15. In addition, the profile rails 15 according to this embodiment, are provided with additional guide pieces 25 that can be used to guide the drawer over rollers 26.
This means that the profile rails 15 can also be used for the roller guidance of the drawer, should this be expedient.
The embodiment shown in Figure 11 once again makes i-t clear that a profile rail 15 that is slid on-to the lower edge of the side 10 and secured by set screws 24 can be provided with additional retainers 18 for the installation of a ball-bearing guide system 19. The profile rails 15 can also have additional retainers 27 that can be used to fix the drawer relative to the roller guides 19.
The embodiment shown in Figure 12 makes it clear that a profile rail 15 can be provided with guide pieces 25 and retainers 18 if need be, so that the use of ball~bearing guides 19 (as shown in Figure 12) or the use of roller guides is possible as desired.
It can be seen from the draw:ings of the profile rails 15 as in Figure 12, and as shown in Figures 13 to 15, that each pro-file rail 15 can be provided with detents 28 or detent recesses 29 that are transverse to its longitudinal axis, which can be used, for example, to define the end positions of rollers and/or to fix the profile rail 15 relative to a roller or ball-bearing guide system.
As is made clear by the embodimen~s that are shown and described herein, the use of additional profile rails 15 on the lower ends of the sides 10 provides numerous possibilities because of the simplicity of production of profile rails 15 of this kind, ~ 3 ~

which can be so configured that other functions can be fulfilled in addition to securing -the drawer bottom 14 and which are important for the support and guidance of a drawer.
As can be seen from Fi.gures 8 and 9, -the rollers 20, which have to be secured direc-tly on the drawer, can be installed simply and conveniently on the profile rails 15 by means of a supporting tab 29 that is inserted into a correspondingly shaped pocket 30 of the particular profile rail 15 and which can be secured by means of a screw 31.
