ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a panel adjustment device for a drawer (2) that is equipped with a front panel (3), which is located in a cabinet (1) by means of a rail system (4) with at least one each of a drawer rail (10), a cabinet rail (18) and, optionally a drawer-décor profile (6) that is guided on both sides lengthwise; whereby, the panel adjustment device is suitable for changing the enclosed inclination angle (9) between the vertical level of the front fore side (1a) of the cabinet (1) and the vertical level of the front panel (3) of the drawer (2), and the panel adjustment device works directly or indirectly between the drawer (2) and the drawer rail (10) by a lifting and lowering device (15, 12; 23) that has a lifting and lowering element (11) so that a swiveling of the drawer (2) (and with it, the panel [3]) is possible around a swiveling axis (24); whereby, the swiveling axis (24) runs between the front panel (3) and the lifting and lower element (11), and the distance between the swiveling axis (24) and the front panel (3) is somewhat larger or smaller than the distance between the swiveling axis (24) and the lifting and lower element (11). The advantage is an economical panel adjustment device, which makes a simple, easy and quick adjustment of the inclination angle (9) between the vertical level of the front panel (3) of the drawer (2) and the vertical level of the front fore side (1a) of the cabinet (1), without a panel correction in the inclination (9) of the height (27) being necessary. Likewise, the simple operation of the panel adjustment device at the front of the drawer component, makes it possible to make adjustments without the necessity of removing the drawer (2).
