A method for installing a drawer and a construction kit for the displaceable mounting of a drawer element having a first and a second pullout guide, which are installable on opposing side walls, and a preinstalled device for synchronizing the movement of the movable rails of the two pullout guides using a cable pull. The side walls are preferably the side walls of furniture bodies or household appliances.

A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a third rail, and a switching member. The second rail can be displaced with respect to the first rail and is provided with a working feature. The third rail can be displaced with respect to the second rail. The switching member is disposed on the third rail and is configured to contact the working feature when the third rail reaches a predetermined retracted position after being displaced from an extended position in a retracting direction, in order for the third rail to displace the second rail to a predetermined position in the retracting direction via the switching member.

A sliding device is capable of decreasing a moving distance of a middle rail while maintaining a maximum moving distance of a movable rail. The sliding device includes a fixed rail fixed to a body into which a storage body is inserted, the movable rail fixed to the storage body, the middle rail installed between the movable rail and the fixed rail and configured to move relatively with respect to the movable rail and the fixed rail, and a driving part configured to move the middle rail so as to move the movable rail by a distance twice a moving distance of the middle rail.

A three-section synchronous slide rail, which has simple structure, longer service life, is easy to install and replace is provided, which includes: two sets of slide rail assemblies which comprise a fixed rail, a middle rail and a sliding rail, synchronization components comprising a flexible deflector unit and a roller, the flexible deflector unit is connected with the fixed rail and the sliding rail, the middle rail is connected with a rope base, a first end of the flexible deflector unit is wound around a first end of the rope base and fixed to the rope base, and a second end of the flexible deflector unit bypasses the roller and is reversely wound on a second end of the rope base and the second end of the flexible deflector unit is fixed to the rope base, a connecting rod is connected between the rope bases.

Sliding element guide system for furniture including a cabinet unit rail, central rail, sliding element rail, and a carriage such that the cabinet unit rail, central rail, and sliding element rail are mounted so as to be movable in relation to one another. The system also includes synchronization means including a synchronization element to synchronize movements of elements of the system. Two identical synchronization elements are present on the central rail and are rotatably disposed on the central rail. The synchronization elements are disposed so as to be mutually opposite and mutually spaced apart on both sides of the central rail. The synchronization elements are configured on mutually opposite end sides of the central rail or on mutually opposite external sides of the central rail.

A refrigerator appliance includes a drawer slide synchronizer with a first cable and a second cable. A first bearing is mounted to a first one of a pair of drawer slides, and a second bearing is mounted to a second one of the pair of drawer slides. The first and second cables contact the first bearing, and the first and second cables also contact the second bearing.

A sliding assembly includes two pull-out guides which can be secured to opposite side walls and each of which includes a stationary guide rail, a middle rail movably mounted on the guide rail, and a running rail movably mounted on the middle rail. A first slidable element is retained on the two running rails of the two pull-out guides, and a second slidable element is retained on the two middle rails of the two pull-out guides. By moving one slidable element, the other slidable element can also be moved.
