Abstract

A coupling device for a damping element integrated in a pull-out slide set whereby both a damping device (7) and a coupling device (6) are located between the firmly fixed cabinet rail (2) and the linear-movable drawer rail (5) so that the damping device (7) has at least one cylinder (8) and in it, at least one damped linear-movable piston rod (9) and the damping device (7) is connected by one of its clamping components (8 or 9) with one of the rails (2 or 5) and by its other respective damping part (9 or 8) via the coupling device (6) with the other respective rail (5 or 2), can be coupled at times during the closing and opening of the drawer. The advantage is that less manual force is needed for pulling the movable cabinet component out. Also, it can be more easily adjusted and ensures a longer life span.
