Claim:
A pull-out guide assembly for a drawer, comprising: a first rail and a second rail; a running carriage arranged between said first rail and said second rail, said running carriage including a bearing group having load-transmitting elements, said load-transmitting elements being arranged to guide said running carriage in a vertical direction and in a lateral direction, said load-transmitting elements comprising a first group of load-transmitting elements each having an axis of rotation in a first plane and comprising a second group of load-transmitting elements each having an axis of rotation in a second plane not parallel to said first plane, said running carriage having a cantilever arm portion located forward of said bearing group with respect to an opening direction of said pull-out guide assembly; and a closed-support load-transmitting element arranged at said cantilever arm portion and spaced apart from said bearing group, said closed-support load-transmitting element comprising a roller, wherein said first rail, said second rail, said running carriage, and said closed-support load-transmitting element are configured such that, when said running carriage is in a fully closed position, said closed-support load-transmitting element rests on said first rail so as to support said running carriage, and such that, when said running carriage is in a fully open position, said cantilever arm portion of said running carriage protrudes beyond a forward end of said first rail so that said closed-support load transmitting element does not rest on said first rail.
