  • Publication number: 20110193456
    Abstract: A fitting for a corner cabinet has a support with a guide member supporting and moving a shelf on a path from inside the corner cabinet into a position in front of a door opening. The guide member is pivotably connected to the shelf bottom and to a part of the corner cabinet. A follower device couples door and shelf during opening of the door. The follower device has a follower body connected to the door and a coupling member connected to the shelf. A follower pawl of the follower body, during opening of the door, is secured in coupled position on the coupling member and is decoupled from the coupling member as the shelf moves farther after the door has reached an open position. The follower pawl, after transfer of the shelf into an intermediate pivot position and/or into a closed position, is re-coupled to the coupling member.

  • Publication number: 20110193455
    Abstract: A fitting for a corner cabinet accessible through a door has a support arranged stationarily in the interior of the corner cabinet for securing a shelf. The support has a guide member supporting the shelf and moving the shelf on a predetermined movement path from an inner position inside the cabinet into an outer position in front of a door opening of the corner cabinet. The guide member is pivotably connected to a bottom side of the shelf and pivotably connected to a corner cabinet wall. A pull-in device is operatively connected to the shelf and the guide member and automatically pulls in by an automatic pull-in action the shelf into the interior during a closing movement from the outer position into the innerposition. The automatic pull-in action begins at a predeterminable intermediate pivot position of the shelf during the closing movement.
