The drawer is slidable between a retracted position where the door of the drawer is proximate the cabinet and an extended position where the door of the drawer is spaced apart from the cabinet. The latch is configured to automatically unlock when the drawer slides to the extended position which allows the door to rotate to the open position when the drawer is in the extended position.

CONNECTOR BRACKET AND SYSTEM COMPRISING A CONNECTOR BRACKET ADAPTED TO FORM PART OF A LOCKING ARRANGEMENT

A system is provided comprising a first furniture part (200) and a locking arrangement comprising a connector bracket (1) and a locking element (4). The first furniture part (200) comprises a recess (201) having an oblong shape comprising an insertion portion (203) and a locking portion (204), wherein the locking portion (204) along an inner wall comprises a groove (207). The connector bracket (1) comprises a base portion (2) having an extension adapted to extend along the first furniture part (200), and at least one protrusion (3) having a longitudinal extension extending transverse the extension of the base portion (2) and comprising a rim (7) extending transverse the longitudinal extension of the protrusion (3). The protrusion (3) is configured to be inserted into the insertion portion (203) and to be movable from the insertion portion (203) to the locking portion (204) by applying a force to the connector bracket (1) in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extension of the protrusion (3), whereby the rim (7) engages the groove (207). The locking element (4) being a flexible tongue (4) is integral with the connector bracket (1) and is configured to be inserted into the insertion portion (203), thereby preventing the protrusion (3) from being moved from the locking portion (204) to the insertion portion (203) and thereby releasing its engagement with the groove (207). The locking element (4) is configured to form a safety lock adapted for acting against a portion of an envelope surface of the protrusion (3) facing the insertion portion (203) of the recess (201). Also, a connector bracket and the use of such connector bracket is disclosed.
