Abstract

A telescopic sliding guide ( 20 ) for linearly and horizontally moving a drawer or shelf ( 12 ) with respect to a furniture item, the guide comprises a first part ( 22 ) fixable on the furniture item, and a second part ( 24 ) which is elongated along a longitudinal axis (X), is translatable with respect to said fixable part along said axis, and comprises a free end ( 28 ), adapted to support the drawer or shelf, on the free end being mounted a first adjustment means ( 80 ) for adjusting the inclination of the drawer or shelf with respect to the first part, and a second adjustment means ( 90 ) for adjusting the horizontal position of the drawer or shelf with respect to the first part, wherein the first means ( 80 ) is arranged substantially along said axis (X).

1 . Telescopic sliding guide for linearly and horizontally moving a drawer or shelf with respect to a furniture item, the guide comprising:
 a first part fixable on the furniture item, and   a second part which
 is elongated along a longitudinal axis, 
 is translatable with respect to said fixable part along said axis, and 
 comprises a free end, adapted to support the drawer or shelf, on the free end being mounted
 a first adjustment means for adjusting the inclination of the drawer or shelf with respect to the first part, and 
 a second adjustment means for adjusting the horizontal position of the drawer or shelf with respect to the first part, 
 
   wherein the first means is arranged substantially along said axis.   
     
     
         2 . Guide according to  claim 1 , wherein the first adjustment means comprises a member movably mounted relative to said end for moving along an axis perpendicular to said longitudinal axis and abutting against the drawer or shelf to incline it. 
     
     
         3 . Guide according to  claim 1 , wherein the first adjustment means comprises an element rotatably mounted on said end for protruding from the end and abutting against the drawer or shelf by means of an adjustable-projection portion. 
     
     
         4 . Guide according to  claim 1 , wherein said element is mounted inside a pass-through cavity of said end so as to translate linearly in said cavity to protrude from said end. 
     
     
         5 . Guide according to  claim 4 , wherein said rotatably mounted element and said pass-through cavity are complementarily threaded. 
     
     
         6 . Guide according to  claim 1 , wherein said free end constitutes a separate piece mounted on the second part. 
     
     
         7 . Guide according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the first fixable part is an L-shaped bracket,   the second part comprises a sleeve, elongated along said longitudinal axis, which is mounted to slide on an edge of the L-shaped bracket, and   said free end being a separate piece which is mounted at the end of the sleeve to constitute an extension thereof.   
     
     
         8 . Guide according to  claim 1 , wherein the second adjustment means comprises a slide ( 90 ) horizontally translatable on a protruding edge of said end, the slide comprising fastening means for the drawer or shelf to make the slide and the drawer or shelf integral with each other. 
     
     
         9 . Guide according to  claim 1 , wherein the drawer or shelf is made of segments joined together, which are a front segment and three segments which are C-connected to each other, the segments being hollow tubular elements, each having ends cut at 45 degrees for matching with ends of other two of said segments. 
     
     
         10 . Guide according to  claim 9 , wherein the three C-connected segments are hollow tubular elements, each with ends cut at 45 degrees to match the ends of the other two segments, and the front segment comprises a rigid wall provided with two anchoring points which are protruding orthogonally therefrom and each insertable into a respective cavity of a different segment forming the C.
