Abstract

A mounting unit used for fastening a drawer to a pull-out slide formed of several rails which are displaceably disposed with respect to one another. The mounting unit has several connection elements, each having horizontally extending upper supporting edge which can be connected, at least partially, with an upper edge of an upper rail of the pull-out slide. Each connecting element also includes a downward extending center section and a horizontally extending bottom section on which the sliding bottom is at least partially held. This approximately Z-shaped construction distributes stress well, and reduces costs of manufacture because the connection elements are identical and can be used for the right and left side of a drawer.
