Description

The invention relates to a fitting and at least one shelf for a corner cabinet, in particular Kücheneckschrank, with a cabinet body and accessible via a corner door interior in which at least one tray by means of the fitting between an inner position and an outer position in which the tray at least partially via a Level of a door opening protrudes, is movably guided, wherein the fitting at least one pivotally mounted on the one hand to a fixed pivot axis and on the other hand pivotally mounted on a bearing point on the associated tray supporting arm for Tablarabstützung and at least one control device for controlling the Tablarbewegung between the inner and the outer position ,

A fitting of this kind is from the DE 20 2004 011 200 U1 known, in which a respective tray of two articulated on its underside of the handlebars is supported, wherein the first link is pivotable about a pivot axis of a support column and the second link about an axis parallel to the pivot axis of the support column axis of a support bearing. The tray is shared by both handlebars between the inner and the outer position controlled. The Tablarbewegung takes place here by superimposition of two each executed around the respective pivot axes orbits. Ultimately, this results in a between the inner and outer position of the tray performed S-shaped tabla movement. The circular pivoting movements of the respective handlebars mean that a relatively large amount of space is required in the interior of the corner cupboard when pivoting. This means that the tray must be relatively small dimensions so as not to hang on the inner walls of the corner cabinet when pivoting the handlebars. In the case of small-sized trays, of course, the footprint for items to be deposited thereon is also small.

The DE 10 2007 009 894 B3 discloses a corner cabinet, in which a tray is coupled by means of coupling means to the corner cabinet door, so that the tray can be swung out when opening the corner cabinet door with. If the corner cupboard door is completely open, the tray can be decoupled from the corner cupboard door via decoupling means, whereby it can be pulled further out of the cabinet body, independent of the corner cupboard door.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a fitting and at least one tray of the type mentioned above, with which the space available in the corner cupboard space is optimally used by corresponding dimensioning of at least one tray.

This object is achieved by a fitting with the features of the independent claim 1. Further developments of the invention are shown in the subclaims.

The inventive arrangement of fitting and at least one tray is characterized in that the control device a first control single lever and a second control single lever which are pivotally mounted on the one hand about a fixed hinge axis and on the other hand to a tablarfeste pivot axis, wherein the two control single lever are formed constant in length between their mutual articulation points and wherein the two tablarfesten pivot axes are arranged with respect to the bearing point of the support arm on the same tray side.

The tray is thus forced by the fitting according to the invention on a guideway, which prevents a large and thus relatively much space-consuming "Ausholbewegung" takes place within the corner cabinet. As a result, the tray can be dimensioned larger overall. Accordingly, of course, increases the footprint for abzustellende objects. By using the control single lever in combination with the support arm, it is possible to place the control device and support arm relatively close together, whereby a Eckbackside attachment to only one area is necessary. In contrast, the two known from the prior art handlebars are pivotally mounted at two spaced apart locations of the Eckschrankperipherie. The fitting according to the invention is therefore relatively compact overall. The installation in the corner cabinet and the attachment of the tray is easy and quick to carry out.

Furthermore, there is a division of functions between the tray support, which takes place by means of the support arm, and the tray control, which takes place by means of the control device. In the prior art, the two steering levers support and control each in contrast to this.

In a further development of the invention, the tablarfesten pivot axes are each arranged at a distance from the bearing. It is possible that the tablarfesten pivot axes adjacent to each other, that are close to each other, are arranged. In the corner cabinet installed condition of the fitting thus increases the compactness, since the tablarseitige connection of the fitting takes place only on a small, little space claiming area.

In a particularly preferred manner, the support arm divides the associated tray into a rear area located behind the plane of the door opening in the inside position and a rear area arranged substantially behind the front wall in the inside position, the panel-fixed pivot axes being arranged at the rear area are.

In a further development of the invention, the stationary joint axes are arranged with respect to the stationary pivot axis of the support arm on the same side of the support arm. Alternatively, it is possible that one of the fixed hinge axes is arranged on one side and the other stationary hinge axis on the other side of the support arm.

In a particularly preferred manner, the stationary hinge axis are adjacent to each other, in particular lying close together, arranged.

Conveniently, the distance between the two most rigid pivot axes is greater than the distance between the two fixed hinge axes to each other.

In a development of the invention, the control individual levers each have a curvature section, which is preferably located in the region of the respective stationary articulation axis. The control single lever can therefore be designed in the manner of a "hockey stick" or "J-like".

Expediently, the control individual levers extend in the inner position of the tray crossing each other, while in the outer position crossover free, in particular substantially parallel to each other.

In order to prevent tilting of the tray, an anti-tilt device is provided, which is arranged on the shelf bottom and transmits the supporting action of the support arm in outdoor areas of the tray. Conveniently, the anti-tilt device has two cross-extending support arms. In a particularly preferred manner, the tablarfesten pivot axes of the control single lever are arranged on one of the support arms.

In a further development of the invention, the support arm has two support arm parts articulated to one another via a connecting joint. The support arm can thus be designed as a toggle or scissors joint.

The invention further comprises a corner cabinet with the features of independent claim 14.

The corner cabinet according to the invention is characterized in that the control device comprises a first control single lever and a second control single lever, which are pivotally mounted on the one hand to a fixed hinge axis and on the other hand to a tablarfeste pivot axis, wherein the two control single lever each between their Mutual articulation points are formed constant in length, and wherein the two tablarfesten pivot axes are arranged with respect to the bearing point of the support arm on the same tray side.

The Fig. 1 to 6 show a first embodiment of the invention Eckschranks 11 and the built-in inventive fitting 12. The corner cabinet 11 has a cabinet body 13, which is exemplified with a rectangular plan. The cabinet body 13 in turn consists of a rear wall 14, two side walls 15, 16 and a front side 17, which in turn is subdivided into a front wall 18 and a corner cabinet door (not shown) arranged adjacent thereto. Furthermore, a cabinet bottom 19 is still provided. Front wall 18 and corner door take the front 17 in about equal parts. The rectangular cabinet body 13 defines a correspondingly rectangular interior 20, which is accessible in about half of the corner cabinet door.

In the interior of the corner cupboard 11 is at least one tray 21, which by means of the fitting 12 between an inner position in which the tray 21 completely in the interior 20th is housed, and an outdoor position in which the tray 21 at least partially beyond a plane 22 of a door opening of the corner cupboard 11 protrudes, is movably controlled. By way of example, a single tray 21 is shown here. Alternatively, it is possible that in the corner cabinet 11 two or more superimposed shelves 21 are arranged. Further, the tray 21 is exemplified in one-piece embodiment. However, it is also possible to use multi-part trays 21.

Also, the floor plan of the tray 21 is exemplified in the form of a kidney. The tray 21 has on its front wall 18 facing the inside of a sidecut 23 to allow a comfortable swinging out of the interior 20 or pivoting into the interior 20 without the tray 21 abuts the front wall 18 and remains hanging.

The fitting 12 has at least one pivotally mounted on the one hand to a fixed in the installed state of the tray 21 pivot axis 24 and on the other hand pivotally mounted on a bearing point 25 on the associated tray 21 support arm 26 for tray support. The support arm 26 is shown here by way of example in the form of a one-piece, rigid tube, for example square tube.

The fitting 12 further has a support means 27, with a support column 28 which is fixed according to the preferred embodiment on the inside of the front wall 18, in particular near the door opening. Conveniently, the support column 28 extends substantially over the entire height of the interior 20. On the support column 28, a joint support 29 is mounted in particular height adjustable, on which the stationary pivot axis 24 for the support arm 26 is located.

The support arm 26 is also still associated with a guide means 30, by means of which the tray 21 is linearly movably mounted on the support arm 26 and against this pivotally. As exemplified in Fig. 7 illustrated, the guide means 30 has on the two opposite side surfaces of the support arm 26 each have a guide groove 31, in which engage the legs 32 of a U-like designed guide carriage 33. On the inside of the legs 32 guide means, such as guide rollers, may be arranged, whereby the guide carriage 33 is guided linearly movable on the guide grooves 31. The guide carriage 33 further has a lying over the support arm 26 support portion 34 which is pivotally coupled via pivot means (not shown) with a particular dish-like, tablarfesten coupling element 35.

An anti-tip device 36 is also provided, with two cross-extending support arms 37, 38 via which the supporting action of the support arm 26 is transmitted to outdoor areas of the tray 21. The support arms 37, 38 are secured by suitable fastening means on the underside of the tray 21. Conveniently, the disc-type or plate-like coupling element 35 is attached via suitable fastening means on the undersides of the support arms 37, 38. The support arms 37, 38 substantially cross each other at right angles and expediently form a one-piece support cross. As in particular in Fig. 2 shown, one of the support arms 37 extends in the longitudinal direction of the tray 21 and is thus longer than the other support arm 38, which extends in the transverse direction of the tray 21.

The fitting 12 also has a control device 39, which serves to control the Tablarbewegung between the inner and the outer position. The control device 39 has a first control single lever 40 and a second control single lever 41, which are pivotally mounted on the one hand to a fixed in the installed state of the tray 21 hinge axis 42, 43 and on the other hand to a tablarfeste pivot axis 44, 45, wherein the two most rigid pivot axes 44, 45 are arranged with respect to the bearing point 25 of the support arm 26 on the same tray side.

As in particular in the Fig. 2 . 4 and 6 According to a preferred embodiment, the fixed hinge axes 42, 43 with respect to the fixed pivot axis 24 of the support arm 26 on the same side of the support arm 26. As exemplified, are the two stationary hinge axes 42, 43 relatively close together.

The control individual levers 40, 41 each have a curvature section 50, which is located in the region of the respective stationary articulation axis 42, 43. As a result, the two control individual levers 40, 41 have the shape of a hockey stick. Preferably, the two control individual levers 40, 41 consist of flat material, in particular sheet steel.

The two tablarfesten pivot axes 44, 45 are arranged in the installed state of the tray 21 at a distance from the bearing point 25. The two tablarfesten pivot axes 44, 45 are according to preferred embodiment, also relatively close to each other. The support arm 26 divides the tray 21 in its installed state in a lying in the inner position behind the plane 22 of the door opening front portion 46 and an adjacent, lying in the inner position substantially behind the front wall 18 rear portion 47 on. The tablarfesten pivot axes 44, 45 are here at the rear portion 47 of the tray 21st

The 8 and 9 show a second embodiment of the fitting 12 according to the invention with tray 21. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment described above in that the support arm 26 has two pivotally interconnected via a connecting joint 55 support arm 56, 57 has. The first support arm part 56, which can be designed as a square tube, is pivotally mounted on the one hand about the stationary pivot axis 24, and on the other hand via the connecting joint 55 pivotally connected to the second Tragarmteil 57, which in turn is pivotally mounted on the shelf 25 on the tray 21 on the other hand. Conveniently, the pivotal connection between the two Tragarmteilen 56, 57 created by the fact that at the end of the first Tragarmteils 56 a U-like ausgestalteter bearing block 58 is attached, with two parallel spaced apart side by side bearing legs having aligned through holes. In the receptacle between the two bearing legs sits the end of the second Tragarmteils 56, wherein through the through holes and the second Tragarmteil 57, a cylindrical bearing pin is inserted, which forms the connecting joint 55.

As in the Fig. 1 and 2 shown, the tray 21 is initially in the inner position in which it is completely housed in the interior 20 of the corner cabinet 11. As in particular in Fig. 2 represented, in this position, the two control single lever 40, 41 cross over.

When swinging out of the tray 21 of the guide carriage 33 runs along the guide grooves 31 on the support arm 26 along and in the direction of the fixed pivot axis 24 of the support arm 26th to. At the same time a pivoting movement of the tray 21 takes place at the bearing point 25 seen from below in the counterclockwise direction. The two control single levers 40, 41 control the tray 21 so that it swings out of the plane 22 of the door opening without touching the cabinet periphery. In this case, the sidecut 23 of the tray 21 ensures that this passes by the support means 27 together with the support column 28.

The tray 21 thus reaches the in Fig. 4 illustrated intermediate position, which is located between the inner and the outer position.

Finally, the tray 21 reaches the in Fig. 6 shown external position in which it protrudes almost completely out of the plane of the door opening 22. Between the in Fig. 4 and the in Fig. 6 shown position has still seen a pivoting of the tray 21 from below in the clockwise direction, so that a total of between the inner and the outer position takes place in an approximately S-shaped Tablarbewegung. The S-shaped path is achieved by the control device 39 with the two control individual levers 40, 41 and the position of their pivot points. In this case, a far-reaching pivoting is avoided within the interior 20 of the corner cupboard 11, whereby the tray 21 can be relatively large dimensions and yet swung out without difficulty from the corner cupboard 11 or can be pivoted into this.

In the second embodiment, the Tablarverschwenkung runs in almost identical manner, with the difference that the tray 21 is not linearly guided on the support arm 26, but by the buckling of the two Tragarmteile 56, 57 first takes place an approximation of the bearing point 25 to the fixed pivot axis 24 , in which case towards the outside position of the tray 21 against buckling and thus removal of bearing 25 and stationary pivot axis 24 takes place.
