A device, for automatic extraction of a supply drawer (e.g. a detergent drawer) from an electric household appliance, includes a releasable locking device for releasably locking the drawer; elastic means for pushing the drawer into an extracted position; braking means for opposing movement of the drawer; a support housing the elastic means and the braking means; and a toothed pinion fitted idly to the support, which is designed to leave at least one given circumferential portion of the teeth of the pinion exposed; the elastic means are designed to exert a torque in a given direction on the pinion, which is connected angularly integral with the braking means; the support and the releasable locking device are so designed that the exposed circumferential portion of the pinion teeth meshes selectively with a straight or curved rack, formed externally on a bottom or end wall of the drawer, by simply rotating the support with respect to the drawer, so that the same device can be used for both slide-out and swing-out drawers.
