Abstract

An adjustment device aligns a drawer that is mounted on rails. A body member is fastened to the rail. An activation part is movably hinged to the body member at a hinge area. The activation part is connected to a wedge piece. The activation part is moveable to achieve alignment between the rail and the drawer. The body member, the activation part, and the wedge piece are integrally made of a plastic material. The hinge is formed by a material constriction in the form of a film hinge. The film hinge has an axis that is approximately parallel to a fastening plane disposed between the body member and the rail. The wedge piece extends approximately at right angles to the hinge axis and to the activation part.
