Abstract

A device for releasably connecting a furniture pull-out to a guidance unit that movably guides the pull-out in a furniture body comprises: a base part; and an adjuster arranged on the base part and comprising a plurality of components movable in relation to one another, the adjuster enabling a position of the furniture pull-out to be set in at least one spatial direction relative to the guidance unit, the adjuster including a spring-loaded contact pressure mechanism configured to press the guidance unit against the device in a fitted and working condition.

Claims

1. A device for releasably connecting a furniture pull-out to a guidance unit that movably guides the furniture pull-out in a furniture body, comprising:

a base part; and

an adjuster arranged on the base part and enabling a position of the furniture pull-out to be set in at least one spatial direction relative to the guidance unit,

wherein the adjuster includes a spring-loaded contact pressure mechanism configured to press the guidance unit against the device in a fitted and working condition, and a side adjuster unit to set the position of the furniture pull-out relative to the guidance unit,

wherein the side adjuster unit comprises an adjusting element and a coupling element movable relative to the adjusting element that is capable of being coupled to the guidance unit for lateral adjustment of the furniture pull-out with respect to the guidance unit, and

wherein the contact pressure mechanism is disposed on the coupling element such that, in a working condition of the device, the contact pressure mechanism is supported on a support surface on the guidance unit and the side adjuster unit together with the device is pushed against the guidance unit.

2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the contact pressure mechanism is formed so that a relative mobility between the furniture pull-out and the guidance unit in the vertical direction is present to allow height adjustment of the furniture pull-out with respect to the guidance unit.

3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the contact pressure mechanism comprises at least one spring element.

4. The device according to claim 1, wherein the coupling element comprises plastic and the contact pressure mechanism is molded onto the coupling element.

5. The device according to claim 1, wherein the contact pressure mechanism comprises a spring element that protrudes away from the coupling element in the vertical direction and in the working condition of device is supported on the support surface of the guidance unit.

6. The device according to claim 5, wherein the spring element comprises a contact tongue in the material of the coupling element, which is spring-mounted on a remainder of the coupling element.

7. A piece of furniture, comprising:

a furniture body;

a furniture pull-out that is movably guided relative to the furniture body via a guidance unit; and

the device according to claim 1.
