Abstract: A device for the rotary movement has a planar bearing region relative to a bearing region of a carrier panel. The bearing region is arranged in a plane-parallel state in relation to the bearing region. As seen in the plane of the bearing surfaces, a length of the item is greater than a width of the item. Mutually facing bearing surfaces of the bearing regions have respective running channels, in which rolling-contact bodies are guided. The running channels are formed such that the item is moveable relative to the carrier panel from a starting position into an end position, in which the item has been pivoted through a predetermined angle of between 130° and 180° relative to the carrier panel and can be pivoted in a pivoting direction back into the starting position. A connecting stub projects out from one of the bearing regions and is moveable in a guide track arranged in the other of the two bearing regions.

Abstract: A shelf or rack includes at least one support plane and having a carcass and a bottom panel. Mutually facing support surfaces of the carcass or a support panel attached to an underside of the carcass and the bottom panel each have at least one groove in which rolling elements are guided. The carcass is movable relative to the bottom panel from a starting position into an intermediate position and further into an open position and back. In the intermediate position, the carcass is rotated in a direction of rotation relative to the bottom panel and is displaced in a predetermined direction. An opening and/or closing mechanism with a force accumulator assisting an opening and/or closing movement of the carcass is arranged on a surface of the bottom panel facing away from the carcass.

Abstract: A furniture element, in particular a shelf or shelving unit has at least one storage level, a body, and a bottom plate. Storage surfaces of the body, which face each other, and the bottom plate each have raceways, in which rolling elements are guided. The body is movable relative to the bottom plate from an initial position to an intermediate position and back, wherein, in the intermediate position, the body is rotated relative to the bottom plate in a rotation direction and shifted in a predetermined direction, the raceways of the bottom plate being formed having mirror symmetry to an axis of symmetry extending at an oblique angle relative to a lateral edge of the bottom plate.

Abstract: A storage shelf base for an item of furniture or household appliance has a support plate stationarily arranged on a body of the item of furniture or household appliance, and a storage shelf which is positively driven relative to the support plate and can simultaneously be moved rotationally and translationally. Facing bearing surfaces of the support plate and the storage shelf have respective at least substantially closed circulating running grooves, in which rolling elements are guided. The support plate can be detachably secured to the body of the item of furniture or household appliance. At least one securing region for detachably securing the support plate to the body of the item of furniture or household appliance is formed on the support plate and the storage shelf can be secured to the support plate without the use of tools.

Abstract: A storage shelf for a piece of furniture or a household appliance includes a support plate stationarily arranged on a carcass of the piece of furniture or household appliance, and a storage tray that is positively driven relative to the support plate and can simultaneously be moved rotationally and translationally. Mutually opposed bearing surfaces of the support plate and the storage tray have respective at least substantially closed all-round grooves, in which rolling elements are guided, the bearing surfaces of the support plate and the storage tray having shaped elements that face the respective other bearing surface and that force an at least partly rotatory motion of the support tray in order to move the support tray relative to the support plate from an initial position into a charging/discharging position.

Abstract: A storage shelf base for an item of furniture or household appliance includes a support plate stationarily arranged on a body of the item of furniture or household appliance, and a storage shelf positively driven relative to the support plate and can simultaneously be moved rotationally and translationally. Facing bearing surfaces of the support plate and the storage shelf have respective at least substantially closed circulating running grooves, in which rolling elements are guided. The support plate can be detachably secured to the body of the item of furniture or household appliance by an adapter or a base plate is stationarily arranged on the body of the item of furniture or household appliance, on which the support plate is detachably secured.

Abstract: A device for rotationally and translationally moving an object comprising a flat storage area relative to a storage area of a support plate arranged plane-parallel to the storage area, wherein: the object can be rotated relative to the support plate in one of two possible opposing rotational directions and can be displaced in a predefined direction; mutually facing bearing surfaces of the storage areas each have closed peripheral raceway grooves in which rolling elements are guided; the raceway grooves are formed such that, when a force is applied to the object in a direction defined in the plane of the storage area, the object can be moved, in a movement which is at least partially forcibly guided and which is simultaneously rotational and translational, from a starting position into an intermediary position, the object being rotated relative to the support plate in one of two possible opposing rotational directions and being displaced in a predefined direction; and the object, after being moved into the int

Abstract: A household appliance, in particular a refrigerator or a freezer or a furniture item comprising at least one storage space, in which a support plate is positioned comprising a storage area and a shelf which can be rotationally and translationally moved on the storage area of the support plate, wherein: the shelf comprises a flat storage area which is oriented plane-parallel to the storage area of the support element; the shelf can be rotated relative to the support plate in a first rotational direction and can be displaced in a predefined direction; mutually facing bearing surfaces of the storage areas each have closed peripheral raceway grooves in which rolling elements are guided; the raceway grooves are formed such that, when a force is applied to the shelf in a direction defined in the plane of the storage area, the shelf can be moved, in a movement which is at least partially forcibly guided and which is simultaneously rotational and translational, from a base position into an intermediary position, the

Abstract: A storage shelf base for an item of furniture or household appliance, includes a support plate arranged on a body of the item of furniture or household appliance, and a storage shelf positively driven relative to the support plate and can simultaneously be moved rotationally and traslationally. Facing bearing surfaces of the support plate and the storage shelf have respective closed circulating running grooves, in which rolling elements are guided. The storage shelf can be moved out of an initial position into an intermediate position, relative to the support plate in an opening movement, in which the storage shelf is rotated relative to the support plate in a rotational direction and shifted in a predetermined direction and can be moved out of the intermediate position back into the initial position in a closing movement. The facing bearing surfaces of the support plate and the storage shelf have respective second running grooves, in which rolling elements are guided.

Abstract: A storage shelf base for an item of furniture or household appliance, includes a base plate stationarily secured to a body of the item of furniture or household appliance, a support plate arranged on the base plate, and a storage shelf, which is positively driven relative to the support plate and can simultaneously be moved rotationally and translationally. Facing bearing surfaces of the support plate and the storage shelf have respective at least substantially closed circulating running grooves, in which rolling elements are guided. The storage shelf is movable relative to the support plate, out of an initial position into an intermediate position, in an opening movement, in which the storage shelf is rotated relative to the support plate in a rotational direction and shifted in a predetermined direction and can be moved out of the intermediate position back into the initial position in a closing movement.
