Closing device for drawers

US-7533946-B2

Abstract

A closing device for drawers, the device having a housing with a holding notch and a slider having a resilient latching arm that is bendable to engage the holding notch, as well as a spring that engages the housing and the slider to urge the slider to a rearward position relative to the housing. The resilient latching arm has a slot adapted to receive a pin, whereby as the drawer is moved from its closed position, the relative movement of the pin advances the slider to a position where the resilient latching arm engages the holding notch and the drawer is free to mover further outward without influence of the closing device. As the drawer is moved rearward toward its closed position, the relative movement of the pin will cause it to engage the slot in the resilient latching arm, further causing it to release from the holding notch and to be urged by the spring to move the drawer toward a closed position.
