The invention relates to a piece of furniture, in particular a wall unit for example, kitchen furniture, with a furniture body with side walls, a rear wall and an upper and a lower floor and a movable front cover such. B. a hinged door for opening and closing a furniture interior, which is movable via a furniture fitting with pivot levers from a Schließbe- operating position by a pivoting movement in a highly pivoted opening operating position.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a furniture fitting for a furniture with pivot levers to move a front cover of a furniture from a Schließbetriebs- position by a pivoting movement in a highly pivoted opening operating position.

Furniture, especially wall units for example for kitchen furniture, have a furniture body with side walls, a rear wall, a bottom and a top floor or a top cover with an inner furniture space to close and open by a swing-front cover, such as a door. In many cases, this door, so the front cover to pivot about a horizontal axis via pivot lever as a furniture fitting, so that this front cover in the highly pivoted open position releases the furniture interior, but in this position according to the height dimension of Furniture protrudes into a room of the furniture. This is particularly disadvantageous in smaller installation spaces, since it increases the risk of collisions with an operator.

Known for Hochverschwenken furniture fittings are usually attached to side walls of a furniture body and have pivoting lever, which make it possible to pivot the front cover of the furniture about a horizontal axis in the opening operation position and in the closed operation position.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a piece of furniture in which the front cover makes it possible to open and close a furniture interior, which, however, does not protrude too far into an installation space of the furniture in the opened state. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a furniture fitting, which makes it possible to open a front cover of a piece of furniture and close with the result that the front cover as little as possible protrudes into an installation space of a piece of furniture in the open state.

To solve this problem, the furniture of the type mentioned is characterized in that the front cover is at least two parts formed with a lower front cover and an upper front cover, wherein the pivot lever directly or indirectly attack on the upper front cover that the lower front cover in an opening intermediate position behind or in front of the upper front cover or in a space within the upper front cover is convertible and that the upper front cover and the lower front cover as a package can be transferred together via the pivot lever in the highly pivoted opening operating position.

In order for a piece of furniture is provided in which the at least two front covers, for example, consisting of a glass material, can first be pushed together to form a package by the lower front cover behind, before or in the upper front cover to push. In this first opening operating position or in the opening intermediate operating position of the lower front cover part of the furniture body interior is already accessible. If this is sufficient, then the entire front cover need not be transferred as a package in the highly pivoted opening operating position, when the desired items are already accessible in this opening intermediate position of the lower front cover. In addition, if movement of the front cover consisting of the at least two front cover parts is desired, the upper and lower front covers as a package, or if there are more than two front covers, may also include two or more front cover parts as a package by the pivot levers of the upper front cover the highly pivoted opening operating position to be moved. In this case, the pivot lever are preferably designed such that the package from the front covers are partially or at least partially above the cabinet furniture, so are located with positional distance to an upper cover of the furniture body. Overall, the space requirement of the furniture in the open state is substantially reduced. In addition, such furniture is also very pleasing to the design. To move the lower front cover behind, in front of or in the upper front cover, guides may be provided, which are provided for example between the front covers. These can be designed so that the lower front cover is translationally to push up along a guideway in which it is guided behind, in front of or in the upper front cover to the front cover package. It is also possible that in the opening intermediate position of the lower front cover in which this has come behind, in front of or in the upper front cover, the lower front cover is locked, be it on the upper front cover or on another element, in a locked fixed Position to be pivoted with the upper front cover in the opening operation position.

To securely hold the lower front cover in its respective position, it may be connected to a counterweight element. This is conveniently done via a cable and / or by a suitable other flexible connecting element and by one or more spring elements, which are designed so that in each sliding position of the lower front cover the weight compensation element holds the front cover in the shifted position. In this case, the weight compensation element may in turn have a pivot fitting with one or more pivoting levers, which are arranged for example on a floor or an intermediate floor in the furniture curvature interior.
