Abstract

The mounting for use in a corner cupboard has upper and lower arms (18, 19) attached to the cupboard door. These are normally mounted at right angles to a column (58), but are on pivots (32, 33) so that they can be moved up to lie against it, forming a flat unit for transport.

Description

The invention relates to a fitting for a corner cabinet, in particular Kitchen corner cabinet, for holding shelves, with one Rotating column to be rotated in the corner cabinet, on which an upper one and a lower support for the corner cupboard door in the longitudinal direction of the rotating column at a distance from each other are arranged.

A fitting of this type installed in a corner cabinet (see e.g. EP 0 317 737 B1) forms together with those held by him Shelves and the door a turnable in the corner cabinet Carousel. The door is regularly one double-leaf door. In connection with this point the support devices two support arms each assigned to one of the door leaves, so that the two door leaves each with one of the support arms upper support and one of the support arms of the lower support are connected. The connection is made via a pivotable about an axis parallel to the rotating column on the respective Support arm seated support part to which the door leaf is screwed or is attached in any other way. When opening and closing the Doors have their wings one with respect to the bisector of the door corner with mirrored folding or unfolding movement superimposed single or extend movement. That this movement controlling device is also arranged on the corner fitting, however, it is of no interest in the present context further.

The support devices are relatively far from the rotating column from. This results in a transport from the hardware manufacturer relatively much to the furniture factory and storage Fitting assembly taking up space.
