[0020] FIG. 2—cross-section profiles;

[0021] FIG. 3—The body of the current collector;

[0022] FIG. 4, 5—Examples of structural embodiment of the current collector with conductive elements and the use of a magnet; and

[0023] FIG. 6—Example of a constructive implementation of the current collector with conductive elements without the use of a magnet.

[0024] An exemplary embodiment of the present drawer with illumination. Rear and side generators (wall) of the drawer is made of aluminum profiles and bottom of the box and front part of all materials used in the manufacture of furniture. Side profiles are manufactured with built-in or join them accessories to ensure the nomination box, for example, with the use of rollers. In side profile can be provided for the insertion slot LED strip, which in the end has contacts that are connected to the current collector, located in the back of the box. The collector is formed with the housing (1) having a cover (2) and the holes (3) for the spring-loaded output contacts (4) by springs (5). Spring-loaded contacts (4) can be performed with the magnetic elements (e.g., magnetic cores), or be formed on a common substrate with separate fixed magnetic element. Springs (5) may be made of a nonmagnetic material. An alternative embodiment without using the magnet shown in FIG. 4. It is advisable to applying a layer of dielectric izolyatora—(8) on the edge of the conductive elements.

[0025] These spring-loaded terminals (4) in the nomination box shall come from the body (1) through the hole (3) by compression springs (5) under the action of the magnetic field and in contact with the conductive elements (6)—metal (steel or copper) strips fixed on the inner wall of furniture (cabinet, pedestals, etc.) in which the drawer moves. Contact occurs only at the nomination drawer from the closed position to a predetermined length, when the magnet comes into contact with a metal or a magnetic stripe (7) of predetermined length, which contributes to the magnetic attraction force and the spring-loaded contacts nomination by compression springs. Conductive elements (6) are isolated from the strip (7) to prevent an electrical short, it can be used with the adhesive or dielectric properties strip (7) can have an insulating coating at the location of the elements (6).

[0026] Each metal band corresponds to one end of the collector, wherein the metal strips are electrically insulated from each other and may function as the band (7). The light only goes out when the termination of the contact spring-loaded contacts by removing the magnetic field, ie, absence of contact between the magnetic element (s) and the corresponding metal or magnetic element when the drawer is fully closed and the current collector housing is not in contact with the conductive area element (6). Accordingly, the backlight of the drawer if and only if it is closing the drawer spring-loaded contacts came into the body of the current collector, and at the opening of the nominated body of the current collector and the contact with the conductive elements.
