Abstract

A partitioning system, particularly for drawers (1), comprises two lateral side wall elements (5, 6, 8, 12) arranged on a drawer bottom, between which a space is provided; a positionable separating wall (10) extending between the wall elements (5, 6, 8, 12); and devices for fixing the separating wall (10) between the wall elements (5, 6, 8, 12) at a desired position. The separating wall (10) is held in a first lifted position displaceable between the wall elements (5, 6, 8, 12) in order to be able to align it inside the drawer (1) into the desired position. When the positionable separating wall (10) is moved into a second lowered position between the wall elements (5, 6, 8, 12), the positionable separating wall is held in a fixed manner and is no longer displaceable.
