  • Patent number: 11333430
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 4, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 17, 2022
    Assignee: PAUL HETTICH GMBH & CO. KG

  • Patent number: 10064487
    Abstract: A pull-out guide for furniture parts that can be moved in relation to each other includes at least two pull-out rails, each having at least one running surface, between which at least one first rolling element and at least one second rolling element are arranged. The rolling elements may be rotatably retained in at least one rolling-element cage. The at least one first rolling element and the at least one second rolling element of the rolling-element cage have an identical nominal diameter. The pull-out guide is distinguished in that at least one of the running surfaces has a free-running segment in which the at least one first rolling element is positioned in a retracted state of the pull-out guide, the running surfaces having a greater distance from each other inside the free-running segment than outside the free-running segment.
