Abstract

The invention relates to a guide device for movably guiding a drawer element and for arranging on a lateral wall in the interior of a piece of furniture or a kitchen appliance. The guide device comprises a fixed rail which can be paired with the lateral wall and a pull-out rail which can be coupled to the drawer element and which can be moved relative to the fixed rail, wherein rollers for movably guiding the rails relative to each other are provided between the fixed rail and the pull-out rail. The fixed rail and the pull-out rail additionally have a base section which adjoins lateral sections that protrude laterally from the base section towards the same side at opposite respective ends of the base section when viewed in cross-section perpendicularly to the longitudinal extension of the rails.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A guide device for displaceably guiding a sliding element and for arranging on a side wall in the interior of a piece of furniture or of a kitchen appliance, wherein the guide device comprises a fixed rail, which can be assigned to the side wall, and a pull-out rail, which can be coupled to the sliding element and is displaceable relative to the fixed rail, wherein rollers are provided between the fixed rail and pull-out rail in order to guide the rails in a displaceable manner in relation to one another, wherein both the fixed rail and the pull-out rail have a main portion, which is adjoined by side portions, which project laterally from the same side, in each case at opposite ends of the main portion, as seen in a cross section taken perpendicularly in relation to a longitudinal extent of the rails, and which extend away from the main portion, these portions therefore forming the fixed rail and the pull-out rail, wherein, on an inner side of the side portions of the rails, the rollers roll along a longitudinal extent of the side portions for the purpose of displaceable guidance, wherein the rails are nested one inside the other, with rollers located therebetween, such that a side portion of one rail overlaps a side portion of the other rail transversely in relation to a longitudinal extent of the rails, and wherein a respective rail has an exterior side portion and an interior side portion, wherein in each case two rollers are arranged, in each case via an axle, on the main portion of the rails, wherein the axles of the rollers are offset on a rail, as seen in the longitudinal direction of the rail, wherein, as seen in the longitudinal direction of the rail, the axles of the rollers of the fixed rail are offset in relation to the axles of the rollers of the pull-out rail, and so the rollers, which have a smaller diameter than the furthest vertical distance of the side portions in relation to one another, bear against the side portions on the inner side thereof such that one roller bears against one side portion of a rail and the other roller bears against the opposite portion of the same rail, and the rail with the internally running rollers, the latter being mounted on the other rail, on the side portions is guided, via the rollers, in a closely confined manner in relation to the other rail. 
     
     
         2 . The guide device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein, via a cutout in a side portion, the rollers of a rail protrude over the outer rail contour which is defined by the side portion. 
     
     
         3 . The guide device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the rollers of a rail are arranged in the end region of the rail. 
     
     
         4 . The guide device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the rollers of a rail are arranged eccentrically in relation to a longitudinal center axis of the rail. 
     
     
         5 . The guide device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the side portions are of channel-like design. 
     
     
         6 . The guide device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the roller axles are anchored in the main portion of the rails. 
     
     
         7 . A piece of furniture or kitchen appliance having two opposite guide devices as claimed in  claim 1 . 
     
     
         8 . A piece of furniture or kitchen appliance having two opposite guide devices as claimed in  claim 2 . 
     
     
         9 . A piece of furniture or kitchen appliance having two opposite guide devices as claimed in  claim 3 . 
     
     
         10 . A piece of furniture or kitchen appliance having two opposite guide devices as claimed in  claim 4 . 
     
     
         11 . A piece of furniture or kitchen appliance having two opposite guide devices as claimed in  claim 5 . 
     
     
         12 . A piece of furniture or kitchen appliance having two opposite guide devices as claimed in  claim 6 .
