Figures 1 and 2 show a first example of realization of a side fence of several pieces of according to the invention and designated, in general, with the sign of reference 1.

In this embodiment, the side fence 1 is constituted in each case by a fence base piece side 2, a mounting piece 2, two retaining parts 4 and one fixing piece 5.

The side fence base part 2 is essentially U-shaped and equipped in the area of its front lateral arms 2a, which project beyond the central rib 2b facing up, with 2c chambers open towards above to accommodate the retention pieces 4.

The retention pieces 4, which have the same constitution than in the embodiment according to the Figures 1 and 2, fit with a fixing appendix 4a in the 2c chambers open upwards from the fence base piece lateral 2 and are locked, tied or otherwise fixed there.

The retaining parts 4 are equipped in the upper side with cover ribs 4b, which are adapted in its cross-sectional shape to assembly part 3 already mentioned. In the embodiment shown in accordance with figures 1 and 2, in assembly part 3 it is a shoulder strap This mounting piece 3 rests down on correspondingly configured 2d recesses of the piece of base of lateral fence 2 and is fixed from above on ribs of cover 4b already mentioned of the retaining parts 4. Since the retaining parts 4 are connected, in general, with the piece of side fencing base 2 in a discretionary manner, through the described construction connects the mounting part 3 in shape of a shoulder strap securely with the fence base piece lateral 2.

On the front front side of the base piece with a side fence 2 a piece of fixing 5 for fixing a front drawer screen (no represented in figures 1 and 2).

As shown in Figure 2, the base piece Side fence 2 is equipped in its rear end area with fixing means 2e preferably formed integrally in a single piece for fixing a rear drawer wall (no represented here), being treated in these fixing means 2e of a preferred way of the so-called harpoon pivots.

The side fence base part 2 is equipped in a preferred way over its entire extension longitudinal with a support flange 2f for the support of a bottom of drawer (not shown here).

The side fence base part 2 is Preferably manufactured in one piece by plastic, also the remaining components are manufactured in a preferred way by plastic, although this is not necessarily necessary above all in the mounting piece 3 in the form of an overhang. Especially this shoulder strap 3 can be made of metal or wood

As shown in a special way clear in the representation of figure 2, the ribs of cover 4 cover mounting part 3 in the transition zone between the side fence base part 2, on the one hand, and the mounting piece 3, on the other hand. At the same time, the ribs of cover 4b completely close the accommodation chambers 2c open up.

In this way, the retaining parts 4 with its cover ribs 4b not only have a function of safety of mounting part 3, but also guarantee a closed optics, cleaner in the junction zone.

Figures 3 and 4 show that only through the use of another mounting part 3a, configured differently from an overboard strap, you can create a side fence 1 of several pieces, which differs in its exterior appearance clearly of the lateral fence according to the Figures 1 and 2.

Also in the example of realization of agreement with figures 3 and 4, a fence base piece is provided side 2 corresponding to the described embodiment example previously. Retention pieces designated with the sign of reference 4 are equally identical to the retaining parts and described, applying the same for the fixing piece 5.

Only assembly part 3a differs of the mounting part 3 according to figures 1 and 2.

In the exemplary embodiment according to the Figures 3 and 4 use a mounting piece 3a that is designated in the broadest sense in the form of plates, which completely closes the surface between the lateral ribs 2a and the central rib 2b of the base piece of side fence 2. Also this piece of assembly 3a is fixed by means of the cover ribs 4b of the retaining parts 4 in an optically attractive manner in the base piece of side fence 2, which is shown in a way especially clear in figure 4.

Figure 5 shows by way of example the structure of a drawer using side fences 1 according to the invention.

In this case, for the illustration of possibilities of variation, it is shown that a fence is planned side 1 with a mounting piece 3 in the form of an overhang and another side fence 1 using mounting piece 3a in shape of plate for the formation of a drawer. In addition, Figure 5 shows a bottom of drawer 6, which rests, in the assembled state, on the support tabs 2f of the base pieces of side fences 2 and it is fixed there, in addition figure 5 shows a rear wall of drawer 7, which can be fixed with the aid of fixing means 2e, integrally formed in the base pieces of side fences 2, in front of the base pieces of side fences 2.

Figures 6 and 7 show an example of embodiment of the invention, in which in a fence base piece  side 2 are mounted several mounting parts 3, 3a.

For this purpose, retaining parts are required additional, designated with reference signs 40 and 40a.

These additional retention pieces 40 and 40a they are provided at the bottom in each case with an appendix of fixing 40b, this attachment appendix 40b being constituted with a structure practically the same as the fixing appendix 4a of the retaining parts 4 already mentioned. The pieces of additional retention 40 and 40a, respectively, can be inserted in this way in the 2c hosting cameras open towards above the base piece of side fence 2 and can be fixed there. The additional retention pieces 40 and 40a, respectively, they are configured towards their upper side of a corresponding to the lateral ribs 2a of the piece of base of lateral fence 2 and therefore have a camera housing 40c, in which the appendix of respective fixing 4a of a retaining piece 4 that closes upwards.

In the exemplary embodiment according to the Figures 6 and 7, through additional retaining pieces 40 and 40a a mounting piece 3a is fixed in the form of a plate and through of the retaining elements 4 that close upwards is mounted on additional retaining elements 40 and 40a, respectively, a mounting piece in the form of a tie rod of board 3.

In an alternative way, Figure 8 shows that, with an otherwise unaltered construction, they can also provide two mounting elements 3 placed overlaid in the form of embroidered straps, to increase the height of a drawer.

Only for a good disposition, it is done reference still to that evidently in a structure of principle, as shown in figures 6 to 8, you can find also apply two mounting pieces 3a in the form of a plate, placed superimposed, so that they can be fully closed the side walls, which are then destined last term through side fence 1 of several pieces.

Figures 9 and 10 clearly show that retention pieces 4 or 40 and 40a can be fixed within the 2c or 40c housing cameras through lace or through of fasteners. The same applies to fixing parts 5 for fixing the front screen of the drawer.

Figure 11 shows - in a similar way to the Figure 5- a perspective representation of an image neatly arranged from a drawer with a fence structure sides according to the embodiments according to the Figures 6 to 8.

Figures 12 and 13 clearly show again the structure of a base piece of side fence 2, being able to especially recognized in figure 13 that especially the central rib 2b is configured as a cavity, which is reinforced and strengthened by means of reinforcement ribs 2g.

From figures 15 and 16 it follows that the fixing attachment 4a of the retaining elements 4 is configured as a hollow body, in which, as shown very clearly in figure 17, an anchor rib can be fixed 5th of the fixing parts for fixing a screen drawer front

In addition, especially from Figure 17 4h retention and clamping means can also be recognized, which enable an anchoring of the respective attachment appendix 4a of a retention piece 4 in a housing chamber 2c or 40c.

The additional retention piece 40 shown in Figures 18 and 19, which is intended for use in the area front of a side piece of side fence 2, is provided with a fixing appendix 40b, which essentially corresponds to attachment attachment 4a of the retaining parts 4. The zone top of the additional retainer 40 corresponds essentially to the configuration of the lateral ribs 2a of the zero side base piece 2.

The same applies to the retention piece additional 40a according to figure 20. This additional retention piece 40a intended for use in the rear area of the base piece side fence 2 also has a fixing means in a preferred manner in the form of a harpoon pivot 40d for the fixing a rear wall of raised drawer, which can be use, however, also - as indicated in Figure 7- to the fixing of a rear shoulder strap 9.

Figures 21 and 22 show front views of lateral fences 1 according to the invention, showing the Figure 21 a simple structure of a side fence 1 of this type, while a structure is represented in Figure 22 raised side fence 1 with at least two mounting parts placed overlapping.

Figures 23 and 24 serve for illustration of the sequence of assembly of a drawer using side fences 1 of several pieces according to the invention. In this case, the Figure 23 shows a simple drawer with a single mounting piece, while figure 24 shows a drawer in construction type high, which corresponds roughly to a fence side 1 according to figure 11.

In this case, the assembly steps of the drawer according to figure 23 are the following:

First, it is introduced under pressure, by For example, the right side zero 1 on the rear wall of the drawer 7. Next, the bottom of the drawer 6 is inserted along the fence side 1 to a slot in the back wall of drawer 7. A Then, the left side zero is pressed into the rear wall of drawer 7, hooking it with its support tab under the bottom of the drawer 6.

Then you can mount a front screen of drawer 8 on the front sides of the fences lateral 1, resulting in a definitive fixation of the screen front 8 after the pressure insertion of the parts retention 4 in the accommodation chambers 2c provided for such finish.

In the case of an elevated structure of a drawer, as shown in figure 24, results in principle same assembly stages with the only difference that the screen drawer front 8 is mounted first when on the retaining parts 40 or 40a are mounted in a manner corresponding other mounting parts.
