Abstract
Abstract A withdrawal guide for drawers or the like, where the drawer has two external sides, for use in a fixed structure, the latter having two internal sides, includes two support rails disposed on each of the fixed structure sides, respectively, two guide rails disposed on the external sides of the drawer, respectively, and two mobile units. Each mobile unit includes at least two rollers; each of the rollers are supported between a corresponding guide and support rail for taking up vertical forces. Each support rail has a movable track, and each movable track has a withdrawal stop for the mobile unit, and is formed with a cut-out. Each mobile unit is formed with at least one controllable stop, and the stop may be engaged with the cut-out in the movable track, when the drawer is pulled out from the fixed structure for securing the mobile unit in the inward-movable direction of the withdrawal guide. The support rail has a frontal zone, and either the support-rail frontal zone or the mobile unit includes a safeguard against tilting of the mobile unit.
