Abstract

A drawer lateral wall for a drawer includes a groove for receiving an edge of a drawer base, the groove having an upper mounting web and a lower mounting web spaced therefrom and running essentially parallel. A side surface of the drawer lateral wall is formed from a one-piece sheet metal piece, and the groove together with the two mounting webs are formed from the sheet metal piece by bending to form a hollow profile. Into the hollow profile, at least one profile body preferably made of plastic, is inserted to stabilize the hollow profile in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the drawer lateral wall. Preferably, the profile body has a shape adapted to the inner shape of the hollow profile, and the profile body has the same cross-sectional shape as the sheet metal piece at least near the groove.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A drawer lateral wall for a drawer, comprising:
 a groove running in a longitudinal direction of the drawer lateral wall for receiving an edge of a drawer base, the groove having at least one upper mounting web and a lower mounting web spaced therefrom and running essentially parallel, between which the edge of the drawer base can be arranged,   wherein at least one side surface of the drawer lateral wall is formed from a one-piece sheet metal piece, the groove together with the two mounting webs being formed into the sheet metal piece by bending,   wherein the sheet metal piece forms a hollow profile, preferably with a U-shaped cross section, into the hollow profile at least one profile body, preferably at least two profile bodies spaced from one another in the longitudinal direction of the drawer lateral wall, preferably made of plastic, is inserted, which profile body stabilizes the hollow profile at least in one direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the drawer lateral wall, preferably wherein the at least one profile body has a shape adapted to the inner shape of the hollow profile, and the at least one profile body has the same cross-sectional shape as the sheet metal piece at least in the region of the groove.   
     
     
         2 . The drawer lateral wall according to  claim 1 , wherein the drawer lateral wall is substantially cuboid-shaped and/or substantially rectangular in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the drawer lateral wall, and/or wherein the drawer lateral wall has an outer surface which is aligned substantially parallel to the side surface with the groove. 
     
     
         3 . The drawer lateral wall according to  claim 1 , wherein the groove is recessed into the drawer lateral wall relative to the side surface, and/or wherein the drawer lateral wall has a reduced thickness in the region of the groove, preferably wherein the thickness in the region of the groove is reduced between one third and one half of the thickness of the drawer lateral wall in a region outside the groove. 
     
     
         4 . The drawer lateral wall according to  claim 1 , wherein the drawer lateral wall has a substantially constant thickness in a region outside the groove. 
     
     
         5 . The drawer lateral wall according to  claim 1 , wherein a fastening means, preferably claws, are arranged on the groove, preferably on the lower mounting web of the groove, for fastening, preferably clamping, the edge of the drawer base, preferably wherein the fastening means are formed integrally in the sheet metal piece, in particular punched out. 
     
     
         6 . The drawer lateral wall according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one profile body is arranged in a front region of the drawer lateral wall and is designed to hold a front wall, and/or wherein at least one profile body is arranged in a rear region of the drawer lateral wall and is designed to hold a rear wall, and/or wherein at least one profile body is arranged in a central region of the drawer lateral wall. 
     
     
         7 . The drawer lateral wall according to  claim 1 , wherein the drawer lateral wall comprises at least one back wall holder, with which a back wall can be held transversely to the drawer lateral wall, and wherein the back wall holder has at least one clamping device, with which the back wall can be held in a clamping manner. 
     
     
         8 . An arrangement comprising:
 the drawer lateral wall according to  claim 1 , and   at least one drawer extraction guide having a body rail to be connected to a furniture body and at least one drawer rail displaceable relative thereto.   
     
     
         9 . The arrangement according to  claim 8 , wherein the drawer rail has at least one support web for the drawer base which, in a coupling state in which the drawer lateral wall is coupled to the drawer extraction guide, is arranged substantially in one plane with the lower mounting web of the groove of the drawer lateral wall. 
     
     
         10 . The arrangement according to  claim 8 , wherein at least one coupling device is provided, with which the drawer lateral wall can be coupled, preferably releasably, to the drawer extraction guide. 
     
     
         11 . The arrangement according to  claim 8 , wherein the arrangement has a rear wall, a front wall, and/or a drawer base, preferably wherein a rear wall and a drawer base are provided which have substantially the same thickness, particularly preferably of less than 1 cm, and/or wherein the rear wall and the drawer base can be fastened to the drawer lateral wall by a common joining movement, particularly preferably by clamping.
