Abstract (en)

A drawer assembly (2) comprises a drawer (4) which is mounted for sliding movement on a pair of floating rails (18) which are themselves slidable with respect to the sides (8) of the housing (6) of the assembly (2). Each floating rail (18) slides in an elongate recess (16) in a respective side wall (12) of the drawer (4). The sliding movement is limited by the engagement of a drawer element (42) with the ends of a slot (40) in the rail (18). The element (42) can be pushed through a hole (44) in the side wall (12) of the drawer (4), through the slot (40), and then twisted to lock the rail (18) against lateral movement with respect to the drawer (4). Each rail (18) is mounted for sliding movement with respect to the housing (6) on a pair of bearing elements (22) disposed inside the rail (18) and hence inside the recess (16) in the drawer side wall (12). The rail (18) is snap-fittable over flanges (38) on the bearing elements (22). Each of the bearing elements (22) is an integrally-formed unit.
