Abstract

A fastening arrangement is for fastening a partitioning wall between two support walls in a drawer. A pair of elongated blades punched the partitioning wall at ends thereof are slideably engageable in retaining channels provided by connecting elements projecting from the support walls. The retaining channels have opposite side locking lips forming guiding slots for passage of a section of the partitioning wall extending between the connecting elements. The blades of the partitioning wall respectively press-fit against inner sides of the channels behind the locking lips when the partitioning wall is in the operative position. Lower support elements projecting from the support walls have guiding slots in which the ends of the partitioning wall are slideably engageable.
