Abstract

A corner cabinet fitting has a support with a guide member supporting a shelf in the cabinet interior for transferring the shelf from an inner position in the cabinet interior into an outer position. The guide member has a first end articulated by a guide member joint axis on the shelf bottom and a second end connected pivotably by a support fitting with a corner cabinet part. During closing, a pull-in device associated with shelf and guide member automatically pulls in shelf and guide member into the cabinet interior from a defined intermediate pivoted shelf position onward. The pull-in device is supported solely on the guide member or the shelf in coaxially alignment with the guide member joint axis on the shelf bottom. An actuator, connected to the pull-in-device and movable relative to the guide member, interacts with a driver on the shelf or on the guide member.

Claims (20)

1. A fitting for a corner cabinet that has an interior that is accessible by a corner cabinet door at a front side of the corner cabinet and that is substantially rectangular in horizontal section; the fitting comprising:

a support adapted to be stationarily supported in the interior of the corner cabinet;

a one-part shelf supported on the support;

wherein the support has a guide member that supports the shelf in an articulated manner and transfers the shelf on a predetermined movement path from an inner position in the interior of the corner cabinet into an outer position that is substantially located in front of a door opening of the corner cabinet;

wherein the guide member has a first end that is articulated by a guide member joint axis on a bottom side of the shelf and has a second end that is connected pivotably by a support fitting with a corner cabinet part;

a pull-in device associated with the shelf and the guide member, wherein the pull-in device is adapted to automatically pull in the shelf and the guide member into the interior of the corner cabinet, from a defined intermediate pivot position of the shelf onward, during a closing movement;

wherein the pull-in device is supported solely on the guide member or solely on the shelf with a pivot axis that is coaxially aligned with the guide member joint axis on the bottom side of the shelf;

an actuator operatively connected to the pull-in-device and movable relative to the guide member, wherein the actuator interacts with a driver provided on the shelf or on the guide member;

wherein the actuator is pivotably supported on the pull-in device.

2. The fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the actuator has a pivot axis that has a positional spacing relative to the pivot axis of the pull-in device and to the guide member joint axis of the guide member.

3. The fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the actuator is a pivot pawl.

4. The fitting according to claim 3 , wherein the pull-in device comprises a holder engaging about a section of the guide member.

5. The fitting for corner cabinets according to claim 4 , wherein the holder is adapted to be secured without tools on the guide member and comprises oppositely positioned support surfaces that engage about the guide member so as to enclose a guide member eye of the guide member having a central guide member joint axis.

6. The fitting according to claim 5 , wherein the holder is adapted to be clipped onto the guide member.

7. The fitting according to claim 1 , further comprising a gas pressure spring element that engages the actuator.

8. The fitting according to claim 1 , wherein the driver is provided on the shelf and the actuator has a guide slot, wherein the driver engages the guide slot from a predetermined closing position of the shelf onward.

9. The fitting according to claim 8 , wherein the actuator has a lockable safety element that is associated with the guide slot.

10. The fitting according to claim 9 , wherein the safety element is spring-loaded.

11. The fitting according to claim 9 , wherein the safety element secures the guide slot against faulty manual operation.

12. The fitting according to claim 8 , wherein the guide slot has a guide path that is embodied with an arc-shaped section.
