A shelving system includes first and second side members. A cross member is coupled to the side members. A guide member is coupled to the cross member such that the guide member is movable relative to the cross member. A container including a rail is coupled to the guide member. The rail includes a first locking element and a second locking element that is connected to the first locking element. The container includes a handle having a third locking element that engages the first locking element. The locking elements are configured to move the container between a first orientation in which the container is provisionally fixed to the guide member and a second orientation in which the container can translate relative to the guide member.

A pull-out drawer guide having a cabinet rail for attaching to a furniture cabinet, a drawer rail for attaching to a drawer, a roller carriage having rollers, which, during relative movement of the rails, roll on a guide face of the respective rail. The pull-out guide includes on the cabinet rail, an automatic retraction mechanism which, by means of a catch element, catches the drawer rail in a closure movement and moves it to a closed position relative to the cabinet rail. The cabinet rail has a stop element, and the drawer rail has an abutment element, wherein, at a catch position of the cabinet rail, a distance between the stop and abutment elements is smaller than a maximum length of movement of a coupling element of a force accumulator of the automatic retraction mechanism, the distance being parallel to a direction of movement of the drawer rail.

A locking device is adapted for a first object and a second object that are movable with respect to each other. The locking device includes a first element and a second element. The first element can be in a locking state or an unlocking state. The second element drives the first element and thereby moves the first element from the locking state to the unlocking state in response to the second object being displaced with respect to the first object from a retracted position to a predetermined position in an opening direction.

A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, and a supporting member. The second rail can be displaced with respect to the first rail. The supporting member is connected to the second rail and includes an upper supporting portion and a lower supporting portion. The upper supporting portion is used for supporting an upper wall of the first rail, and the lower supporting portion, for supporting a lower wall of the first rail.

A drawer latch comprising a base configured to couple to a first slide member, a drawer stop disposed on the base and positioned to contact a second slide member at a retracted position within the first slide member, and a least one arm extending from the base in a direction parallel to an axis of the first slide member and towards the second slide member, a distal portion of the arm having a protrusion configured to engage an indent disposed on a side of the second slide member when the second slide member is in the retracted position.

A drawer release is described. The drawer release includes a handle portion pivotally or rotatably engaged to a fixed portion, and the fixed portion is attached to or connected to a drawer. The handle portion includes at least one engaging member that engages a lever or actuator of a drawer-slide of the drawer to open or release the drawer. The drawer release provides for the one-handed opening of the drawer.

A driving device for a movable furniture part includes a retracting device for retracting the movable furniture part out of an open position into a close position, and the retracting device has a housing; a guide path formed in the housing and which comprises a retaining section; a retracting slide which can be moved in the guide path relative to the housing and can be locked in the retaining section; and a retracting force accumulator which urges the retracting slide. The retracting slide can be moved along the guide path between a first end position, which corresponds to the retaining section, and a second end position, which corresponds to the closed position, wherein the distance between the end positions along the guide path can be changed.

A drawer release is described. The drawer release includes a handle portion pivotally or rotatably engaged to a fixed portion, and the fixed portion is attached to or connected to a drawer. The handle portion includes at least one engaging member that engages a lever or actuator of a drawer-slide of the drawer to open or release the drawer. The drawer release provides for the one-handed opening of the drawer.

A guide apparatus is provided which can increase a holding force that holds a table, a drawer, a cabinet, a device, or the like at a predetermined position. An engagement body (43) is placed on a second member (42b). A pair of plate spring portions (44a and 44b) is placed on a first member (41) in such a manner as to sandwich the engagement body (43). The pair of plate spring portions (44a and 44b) bend in such a manner that a minimum dimension between the pair of plate spring portions (44a and 44b) is smaller than a dimension (length) of the engagement body (43). In a state where the engagement body (43) has gone beyond a minimum dimension position (53) between the pair of plate spring portions (44a and 44b) and the second member (42b) is being held at a predetermined position on the first member (41), the minimum dimension between the pair of plate spring portions (44a and 44b) is smaller than the dimension (length) of the engagement body (43), and both end portions (44a1, 44a3, 44b1, and 44b3), in a length direction, of the plate spring portions (44a and 44b) are supported by the first member (41).

A slide rail assembly includes first to third rails and an engaging mechanism movably mounted on the second rail. The second rail is displaceable with respect to the first rail, and the third rail is displaceable with respect to the second rail. The three rails define a length when the second rail is displaced from a first to a second position in a first direction and the third rail, to a third position in the same direction, extending out of the second rail. Once the second rail is displaced from the second to a fourth position in a second direction, the length is reduced, and the second rail is kept at the fourth position by the engaging mechanism.
