DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(12) A frame 1 according to the present invention is shaped or turned up for example out of a sheet-metal element (FIG. 1). Arranged on the frame 1 is an extension mechanism 2 in the form of a full-extension mechanism, consisting for example of a carcass rail 3, a central rail 4 and a drawer rail 5.

(13) The frame 1 comprises a frame element in the form of a side wall 6, on which a bent-over portion 7 is present at a first end, i.e. a front end, the bent-over portion 7 serving as an abutment against a drawer front 9 in the state arranged on a drawer 8. In order to attach the drawer front 9 to the frame 1, pegs 10, 11 in the form of plugs or screws are present on the bent-over portion 7 (FIGS. 9 and 10). At a second end, present opposite the first end, of the frame, i.e. a rear end, a further bent-over portion 12 is present, which serves as an abutment against a drawer rear wall 13 in the state arranged on the drawer 8. In order to attach the drawer rear wall 13 to the frame 1, a further peg 14 in the form of a plug or a screw is present on the bent-over portion 12.

(14) Both the bent-over portion 7 and the bent-over portion 12 are present for example in a manner protruding from the side wall 6, wherein the bent-over portions advantageously protrude from the side wall 6 perpendicularly with respect to a longitudinal extent of the side wall 6. For example, the bent-over portion 7 is present on the side wall 6 in a manner protruding perpendicularly outward and the bent-over portion 12 is present on the side wall 6 in an opposite manner protruding perpendicularly inward.

(15) Along the longitudinal axis of the side wall 6, the frame 1 comprises an upper fold 15, for example, in the form of a lip, which forms an upper lateral surface of a side wall of the drawer 8 in the arranged state of the frame 1 on the drawer 8. The upper fold 15 is present on the side wall 6, for example, in a manner protruding perpendicularly outward. For example protruding such that the upper fold 15, in the arranged state of the frame 1 on an item of furniture, conceals a guide element of the extension element 2, in particular, the drawer rail 5 and/or the central rail 4, in particular, in the extended state of the drawer 8 on the item of furniture, from a plan view of the upper fold 15 or of the frame 1.

(16) Furthermore, the side wall 6 has, along its longitudinal axis, a lower fold 16, for example, in the form of a lip, which is configured for the arrangement of a drawer base 17 of the drawer 8. The lower fold 16 is present on the side wall 6 for example in a manner protruding perpendicularly inward. Retaining elements 35-37 are formed on the lower fold 16 as upwardly bent lugs which are intended to retain the drawer base 17 in the arranged state. It is furthermore conceivable for screws 51 to be provided in order to connect the drawer base 17 to the frame 1, 1a, 1b, in particular, in a fixed position and advantageously in a non-detachable manner, for example, at the fold 16 (FIG. 11). The fold 16 can furthermore comprise a cutout 52, in particular, in the attachment region, the bent region with respect to the frame element of the frame 1. This avoids a rounding or bevel, for example a chamfer, in the bent region, thereby creating space for attaching the drawer base 17 such that the drawer base 17 is connectable to the frame 1 in an abutting manner, in particular without a gap.

(17) The extension mechanism 2 is joined to the frame 1 via the drawer rail 5 for example by means of rivets 18-20. To this end, the extension mechanism 2 comprises assembly openings 21-23 in which for example a riveting tool can engage in order to attach, for example rivet, the already assembled extension mechanism 2, consisting inter alia of the carcass rail 3, the central rail 4 and the drawer rail 5, to the frame 1 by way of the drawer rail 5 (FIG. 2).

(18) In order to attach the extension mechanism 2, indentations 24-26 in the form of depressions are present on the side wall 6 of the frame 1. The depressions 24-26 are shaped such that they protrude from an outer side 27 of the side wall 6. The outer side 27 advantageously forms an outer side of the drawer 8 in the state arranged on the drawer 8.

(19) Also present at the depressions are assembly openings 28-30 through which fastening means, for example the rivets 18-20, can be guided. It is conceivable for the assembly openings 28-30 to have for example internal threads. As a result, it is conceivable for the drawer rail 5 of the extension mechanism 2 to be fastenable to the frame 1 by means of screw elements.

(20) The depressions 24-26 are present on the side wall 6 in a manner set back from an inner side 31 of the side wall 6 of the frame 1. The inner side 31 forms for example an inner lateral surface of the drawer 8 in the assembled state. For example, the depressions 24-26 comprise a base element 32-34 which is present in a recessed manner with respect to the inner side 31 (FIG. 3).

(21) FIG. 4 shows that a rivet head 38 of the rivet 18 is present in a manner set back with respect to the remaining surface 39 of the inner side 31 of the side wall 6. Therefore, the rivet head 38 does not protrude beyond the surface 39 of the inner side 31 or out of the surface 39. It is also shown that the rivet 38 is present in a manner abutting a surface 42 of the drawer rail 5 that is arranged opposite the side wall 6. Advantageously, the rivet 38 is present in a manner flush with the surface 42 or is proud therefrom to a comparatively small extent. As a result, a comparatively large range of movement of the extension mechanism 2 or of the bearing of the extension mechanism 2, for example of the bearing guide, is allowed.

(22) The drawer rail 5 is U-shaped in cross section and wings 40, 41 of the drawer rail 5, which are present in a manner protruding from the side wall 6 in particular in a perpendicular direction in the arranged state, are configured for example in an undulating manner. This produces a guide for a bearing of the extension mechanism 2, in particular a ball bearing or a ball guide.

(23) FIG. 4 also shows that the drawer rail 5 is fastened advantageously in a flush manner to the depression 24 or to the depression base 32 and thus in a flush manner to the side wall 6 or the frame 1 in the arranged state. FIG. 4 also shows a panel element 43 which is configured for example as a decoration and which is able to be arranged on the side wall 6 for example such that the panel element 43 advantageously conceals the depression 24-26. In particular, the panel element 43 covers the side wall 6 such that the panel element 43 forms the inner lateral surface of the drawer 8 in the arranged state.

(24) FIG. 5 shows an assembly variant of the extension mechanism 2 or of the frame 1 on an item of furniture 44. The extension mechanism 2 is configured for example such that it is able to be arranged on a furniture side wall 45. FIG. 6 shows a further assembly variant of the extension mechanism 2 or of the frame 1 on a further item of furniture 46 having a furniture side wall 47, a furniture rear wall 48 and a furniture front 49. The extension mechanism 2 is able to be arranged on the furniture front 49 at a first end and on the furniture rear wall 48 at the opposite second end, for example, with the aid of an assembly bracket 50, in what is known as a face-frame attachment. In this arrangement, the extension mechanism 2 is therefore not fastened to the furniture side wall 47.

(25) FIGS. 7 and 8 show the drawer 8 with two frames 1a and 1b configured in a mirror symmetrical manner with respect to one another, the frames 1a and 1b corresponding to the above-described frame 1 apart from the number of depressions formed. In each case two depressions are present on each of the frames 1a and 1b, rather than three as in the case of the frame 1.

(26) FIGS. 9 and 10 furthermore illustrate a means of setting the drawer front 9 relative to the frame 1b in the form of a height adjustment and/or lateral adjustment means 53.

(27) This enables height and lateral adjustment of the drawer front in the arranged state, with the result that a clearance between the drawer front and the rest of the item of furniture can be set.
