ABSTRACT:
A drawer locking mechanism for at least two drawers (6, 6') arranged one above the other has locking slides (13, 13') whose height is adjustable in a guide (7) along a setting axis (12). Setting elements (22, 22') with setting slots (29, 29') are attached with the slides between front panel (9, 9') of the drawer and the guide (7) arranged on the inner face of the side wall (2) of the body (1). Furthermore, the setting elements (22, 22') have two engagement regions which secure the setting elements (22, 22') in their respective angular positions corresponding to a pushed-in or pulled-out position of the drawers (6, 6'). Accordingly, control pins (31, 31'), associated with the side walls of the drawers (6, 6') as viewed from the front panels (9, 9') of the drawers (6, 6'), are positioned in front of the guide (7). Thus, the control pins do not have to pass the guide when the drawers are opened or closed, thereby improving utilization of space. Also, while the installation width of the body remains the same, it is possible to select a connecting guide.
