The DE 37 03 544 C1 discloses a trash container disposed in a bracket with a vertically extending bearing axis in a cabinet and having coupling means for connection to a cabinet door. The coupling means are operationally releasable by pivoting the door by a predetermined amount. Conversely, a connection of the coupling means by a closing movement of the door can be brought. The coupling means consist of a control link and a vertically displaceable pin which engages in the control link. When exceeding a lying at about 90 ° opening position of the door, the pin moves out of a muzzle end of the control link. A control panel comprehensive console has on its the pin facing the longitudinal edge on a ramp for lifting the pen.

Fitted with folding doors corner cabinets have long been known. The most common corner cabinets of this type have a door opening which extends at an angle of 90 °, so that the two door elements in the closed position define an outer angle which is 90 °. However, there are also corner cabinet solutions in which the door elements in the closed position occupy an angle other than 90 °, for example, an acute or obtuse angle.

When opening the folding door usually changes the outer angle, which have taken the two door elements in the closed position to each other. Since the user usually engages to open the second door element and this draws to him, the outer angle usually increases when you open the folding door of the position occupied in the closed position angular position, for example 90 °. If the folding door is then closed again, the user usually engages again the second, outer door element. When swinging the folding door in the closed position, however, there is a risk that the second, outer door element strikes a cabinet door of an adjacent cabinet or cabinet part, thereby damaging the existing there handle or even the front of the cabinet door, if the outer angle between the two door elements when swinging is greater than the outer angle, the two door elements occupy each other in the closed position.

In particular, if the two door elements occupy an outer angle to each other when closing, which is very large, for example, greater than 150 ° or even adopt an alignment with each other with the outer angle of 180 °, there is a risk that improper operation to such damage to the adjacent Cabinets or cabinet parts leads.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a corner cabinet with a control device for controlling the movement of a corner door of the corner cupboard, in which the risk of damaging adjacent to the corner cupboards or cabinet parts when closing the corner cupboard door is practically impossible.

This object is achieved by a corner cabinet with a control device for controlling the movement of a corner cabinet door of the corner cupboard and with the further features of independent claim 1. Further developments of the invention are shown in the subclaims.
