Said fitting consists of at least one support which can be supported in a stationary manner in the interior (2) of the corner cabinet (1), for maintaining at least one single-piece shelf (4) having a semi-circular type base shape. Said support comprises at least one guide member (5) which supports the shelf (4) and moves the shelf (4) on a predetermined movement path from an inner position in the interior of the corner cabinet (1) to an outer position essentially in front of a door opening of corner cabinet, which is pivotably connected to the lower side of the shelf (4) and by means of a support fitting, to a corner cabinet part, in particular a side wall part. A driver device arranged between the corner cabinet door (3) which closes the door opening and the shelf (4) is provided to couple the door (3) to the shelf (4) during at least one part of the opening movement of the door. The aim of the invention is to obtain a fitting for corner cabinets which guarantees that the shelf is driven securely when the door is pivoted, and also facilitates an easy manual uncoupling. The driver device comprises a stationary driver (6) mounted on the door (3), comprising a guide slot (7) in which a unlockable coupling element (8) fixed to the shelf (4) can be introduced and be moved to ensure a drive function between the corner cabinet door (3) and the shelf (4). Said coupling element (8) comprises a height-adjustable drive area (9), which can be inserted into the guide slot (7) and can be introduced automatically, from an unlocked position, by a relative movement of the shelf (4) in relation to the door (3), into a drive position in the guide slot (7), and said guide element (8) can be unlocked by manually activating the height adjustment of the drive area (9). ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 1-11. (canceled) ### Claim 12 A fitting for a corner cabinet comprising an interior that is accessible via a corner cabinet door closing a cabinet opening at a front side of the corner cabinet and is substantially rectangular in horizontal section, the fitting comprising: at least one support adapted to be stationarily supported in the interior of the corner cabinet; at least one one-part shelf having a substantially semicircular basic shape; wherein the at least one support comprises at least one guide member supporting the at least one shelf; wherein the at least one guide member is configured to transfer the at least one 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 at least one guide member is articulated on a bottom side of the at least one shelf and is adapted to be connected pivotably by a support fitting with a part of the corner cabinet; a driver device adapted to couple the corner cabinet door and the at least one shelf during at least one segment of an opening movement of the corner cabinet door; wherein the driver device comprises a driver that is adapted to be stationarily attached to the corner cabinet door and comprises a guide slot; wherein the driver device further comprises a releasable coupling member secured to the at least one shelf; wherein the coupling member has a height-adjustable driver segment that is insertable and moveable within the guide slot when inserted in the guide slot; wherein the coupling member effects a driver action between the corner cabinet door and the at least one shelf when the driver segment in a driver position engages the guide slot; wherein the driver segment is adapted to be released into an unlocked position from the guide slot by a manually activated height adjustment of the driver segment; wherein, from the unlocked position, the driver segment is automatically inserted into the guide slot and into the driver position by a relative movement of the at least one shelf relative to the corner cabinet door. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The fitting according to claim 12, further comprising a securing device provided on a bottom side of the at least one shelf, wherein the coupling member is clipped onto the securing device. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The fitting according to claim 12, wherein the coupling member has a pivotable coupling bar on which the driver segment is provided. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The fitting according to claim 14, wherein the coupling bar is angled and the driver segment in a first pivot position of the coupling bar dips into the guide slot and in a second pivot position of the coupling bar is removed from the guide slot. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The fitting according to claim 12, wherein the driver has slanted surfaces and wherein the coupling member glides across the slanted surfaces and causes the driver segment to be automatically inserted into the guide slot. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The fitting according to claim 12, wherein, for releasing the driver segment from the guide slot, the coupling member comprises an activator that is adapted to be manually activated. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The fitting according to claim 17, wherein the actuator projects past a lateral edge of the at least one shelf. ### Claim 19 (depends on 12) The fitting according to claim 12, wherein the driver is adapted to be secured on the corner cabinet door so as to be lengthwise slidable and/or height-adjustable. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The fitting according to claim 19, wherein the driver has two driver parts that are adjustable relative to each other by an adjusting slide. ### Claim 21 (depends on 20) The fitting according to claim 20, wherein the slide is adjustable by adjusting elements. ### Claim 22 (depends on 12) The fitting according to claim 12, wherein each one of the at least one shelf has associated therewith two of said at least one guide member that are each adapted to be connected pivotably to a wall of the corner cabinet in the area of the door opening with vertically spaced apart pivot axes.
