ABSTRACT:
A drawer can be pulled out of, and pushed into, a furniture element along guides. Disposed on the furniture element are magnets on which a ferromagnetic plate, disposed on the drawer, abuts and is firmly held in the pushed-in state of the drawer. Disposed on the furniture element is a lever which is pivotable about a pivot axis and which can be foot-operated. By means of said lever, the plate can be released from the magnet, and the drawer brought into the pulled-out position by means of a spring element. The lever comprises a bow connected to the element forming the pivot axis. Said element is held in bearing elements fastened to two angle pieces and. These angle pieces each have an arm which is fastened lying flat on the floor of the furniture element. The other arm in each case lies flat against the front face of the floor of the furniture element, and projects over the floor on the underside, where the bearing elements are disposed. The opening and closing mechanism can be positioned in the respective furniture element most easily during assembly. In addition, the lever can be designed to be very wide, whereby actuation is facilitated.
