The present invention provides a drawer apparatus capable of locking and unlocking a drawer without position control and motor stop control. A lock frame is released from the hook to be brought into an operable state by unidirectional rotation of a DC motor in an engaged state. A drawer is released from an anchor to be advanced out of the retracted position when the lock frame operates. A planetary gear unit is pushed by the lock frame. A small-diameter planetary gear is thereby shifted from the engaged state to a default state. The anchor is engaged with the drawer when the advanced drawer is pushed back to the retracted position. The hook is engaged with a lock when the advanced drawer is pushed back to the retracted position

The present invention relates to the technical field of furniture and discloses a slide rail assembly which comprises a top rail, a middle rail and a bottom rail. The top rail and the middle rail slide relative to each other through a first rolling element, and the middle rail and the bottom rail slide relative to each other through a second rolling element. A first bending portion of the middle rail is inserted into a first cavity and a second bending portion is inserted into a second cavity. A gear is provided between a first serrated edge of a first bracket and a second serrated edge of a second bracket and meshes with the first and second serrated edges, so that the top rail, the middle rail and the bottom rail can be linked. The present invention also discloses a cabinet adopting the slide rail assembly.

A drawer pull-out guide including a first guide rail and a second guide rail displaceably supported relative to one another in a longitudinal direction of the guide rails between a closed position and an open position. A guide body is supported between the guide rails, and the guide rails are guidable relative to one another in a lateral direction in a mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide by the guide body. At least one of the guide rails includes a protrusion bearing against the guide body in the open position of the guide rails, so that at least in that region, in which the guide body and the protrusion bear against each other, the guide rails are arranged without clearance relative to one another in the lateral direction.

A drawer slide apparatus mounted to a drawer slide assembly for moving a drawer slidingly within a cabinet provides push-to-open and soft close functionality while further providing a depth and alignment adjustment of the drawer relative to the cabinet carcass. The apparatus comprises a housing including a soft close track, a damper, and a carriage slidable within the soft close track. A guide block comprising a set of channels within a stationary part and a movable part for providing the depth and alignment adjustment. A pin, slidable within the carriage, has a first end engaged with the soft close track and a second end simultaneously engaged with the guide block provides the soft close and push-to-open functionalities.

A cabinet for securely storing items includes a drawer enclosure, a drawer, a cover, an electric actuator, and a switch. The drawer is slidable at least partially into and out of the enclosure, and includes a compartment. The cover is designed to block access to the compartment of the drawer when the cover is in a first configuration, and to allow access to the compartment when the cover is in a second configuration. The electric actuator is designed to move the cover from the first configuration to the second configuration. The switch is connected to the electric actuator, and when activated the switch selectively shorts the electric actuator. Sliding the drawer relative to the enclosure activates the switch.

A furniture drive for retracting a movably supported furniture part into a closed position relative to a furniture carcass, including a housing, an entrainment member which can be releasably coupled to the movable furniture part, a spring device for applying a force to the entrainment member, at least one guide path arranged or formed on the housing, wherein the entrainment member is displaceably arranged along the guide path, wherein the guide path includes a first bend for releasably locking the entrainment member, wherein the guide path includes at least one second bend for releasably locking the entrainment member, wherein at least one movably-supported switch element with a first and with a second switching position is provided, wherein the switch element, in the first switching position, blocks the first bend so that the entrainment member can move into the second bend and wherein the switch element, in the second switching position, unblocks the first bend so that the entrainment member can move into the first bend.

In an embodiment, an apparatus (e.g., for damping a motion of a drawer in a storage system) comprises a plate to pivotally attach to a first wall of a drawer, the plate comprising a pivot point about which the plate can pivot; a damped gear coupled to the plate, the damped gear having a plurality of gear teeth; and a spring to facilitate pivoting the plate about the pivot point to engage at least one of the plurality of gear teeth with at least one tooth on a rack. In some embodiments, the spring is to pivot the plate from a first configuration to an angular position relative the wall in a second configuration, wherein the at least one of the plurality of gear teeth and the at least one tooth on the rack are fully engaged with one another in both the first configuration and the second configuration.
