Abstract

A device for use in connection with a 'soft' opening and later 'soft' closing of a drawer in a furniture body. One or more rails (2, 3, 4) are mounted between the drawer and the furniture body. The device comprises a single, oblong, partly open housing (1) delimited by a first end member (7a) and a second end member (7b). The housing (1) is mounted on a furniture body or on a rail (2) secured thereon. A longitudinally displaceable damper cylinder (9) is mounted in said housing (1), said damper cylinder comprising a piston (8) with a piston rod (10), said piston (8) being provided with an auxiliary valve (37, 38). A first end part (9b) of the damper cylinder (9), and which is free of the piston rod (10), has an outer abutment face against which a first offsetable pin member (15), which is mounted substantially at the rear end of the drawer or on a longitudinally displaceable rail, abuts when the drawer is opened, while a second offsetable pin member (13), which is mounted substantially at the front end of the drawer, abuts a third end part (12) mounted on the outermost end of the piston rod (10), when the drawer is displaced towards the closed position thereof; the first end member (7a) and the second end member (7b) of the housing optionally being provided with a slot-like opening, (7a') and (7b'), respectively, through which the first pin member (15) and the second pin member (13), respectively, optionally can pass in and out of the housing (1). In this way, a structurally very simple device is obtained, which can provide both a soft opening and a soft closing of the drawer in the furniture body.
