Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fitting for a corner cabinet, in particular Kitchen corner cabinet, which is a cabinet housing with a Corner opening cabinet opening and one in the cabinet housing arranged carousel with a fixed rotatable Rotating column, at least one shelf and one of the cabinet opening has assigned front element, the front element between a closed position closing the cabinet opening and one parallel to the inside of the rotating column, a turning position allowing the carousel to be turned is movable back and forth by two at height mutually arranged places each a lower or a Upper guide device is arranged, one on the front element seated support unit and a fixed to the rotating column, the support unit has a holding unit which can be held in a displaceable manner, wherein the holding unit of the lower guide device and the holding unit of the upper guide device via a fixed, rotatably mounted connecting shaft parallel to the rotating column are connected to each other in the area of each guide device a ring gear is arranged with a the facing support unit sitting in the direction of displacement trending tooth rack.
  • connecting shaft remedies this, since it is the two guide devices couples with each other so that the top and bottom a precise synchronization results. If you move the front element and drive the upper and lower rack with it the two sprockets. Because of the occurring Interactions, no irregularities can occur, so that there is safe, stable and smooth guidance. Any unwanted changes in the position of the front element are not possible.
  • a corner cupboard fitting of the type mentioned at the beginning, that is a fitting with a connecting shaft, is in the older one, not Pre-published German patent application P 42 41 612.4 described.
  • the connecting shaft between the rotating column and the front element on the Arranged bisectors of the cabinet corner is in the older one, not Pre-published German patent application P 42 41 612.4 described.
  • connection shaft Space there is no separate connection shaft Space required so that the entire space in front of the rotating column is freely available.
  • Another advantage is that the connecting shaft is housed protected, so that objects placed in the carousel are not sent to the Link shaft can encounter what any functional impairment could result.
  • At least one, expediently both, of the ring gears arranged inside the rotating column, with the rotating column on the position of the ring gear on the side of the rack Has window-like opening through which the toothed rack runs.
  • a kitchen corner cabinet 1 of a fitted kitchen has a cabinet housing with two side walls 2, 3 which are directed at right angles to one another and limit a cabinet opening 6 with their front end faces.
  • a further kitchen element can connect to each side wall 2, 3, so that an L-shaped corner arrangement results.
  • the cabinet opening 6 already mentioned runs over a corner, the bisector of the corner passing through the middle of the cabinet opening 6.
  • the cabinet housing also has a cabinet base 8, a cover plate 9 and a rear wall, not shown.
  • a flat iron band 10 or the like which is circular at the rear is provided in the area of the cabinet top. available, which is held by a support cross 11 formed by rods.
  • the course of the flat iron strip 10 corresponds to that of the circumference of the cabinet base 8, so that the rear wall having a corresponding curvature can be attached to these two parts.

  • the carousel 16 also has a lower shelf 19 and an upper shelf 20 (in principle, could only a shelf should be present, as well as more than two Shelves could accommodate) that is rotatably on the rotating column 17th sit and only dashed in the drawing for clarity are indicated. Furthermore belongs to the carousel 16 another front element 21, which is assigned to the cabinet opening 6 is.
  • This front element 21 consists of the embodiment two rigidly connected, arranged at right angles to each other Front panels 22.23. The inner corner thus formed corresponds the cutouts 12, 13 of the cabinet base 8 and the cover plate 9.
  • the front element 21 and the cutouts 12, 13 could, however also one that deviates from the rectangular shape shown To have shape. For example, it could be a linear going through the cabinet opening 6 shape or rounded one acted-in shape.
  • the front element 21 is also non-rotatable with the rotating column 17 connected.
  • the shelves 19, 20 point at the point of Front element 21 a cutout adapted to its contour on, however, a little after with reference to the sections 12, 13 is offset inside so that the front element 21 from its the Cabinet opening 6 closing position (Fig. 1,2,3 and 7) in an inward parallel to the rotary column 17 Ready to turn position (Fig. 4) can be moved.
  • the front element 21 covers the front one End faces 4.5 of the cabinet side walls 2.3. Therefore in this position of the front element 21 do not twist the carousel 16. Such twisting is only possible if that Front element 21 is displaced towards the rotating column 17, so that the front element 21 is released from the side wall end faces 4, 5 and turn past the inside of the side walls can.
