## Abstract

The invention relates to a drawer rack (10) for a cabinet, in particular for a kitchen cabinet (1), having upright side walls (2) oriented parallel to each other and a rear wall which extends between said side walls and delimits a cabinet interior to the sides and rear. The drawer rack has a rack frame (6) which can be transferred from a closed position in the cabinet interior to an opening position moved out of the cabinet interior via telescopic rails (11). At least one tray (9) or similar piece of equipment can be supported on at least one vertical supporting column (8) of the drawer rack (10). According to the invention, to provide a drawer rack (10) which has a simple structure and has a pivotable frame in the open position, the rack frame (6) is hingedly connected via a pivoting lever (13) to a movable telescopic rail (11), and the rack frame (6) is hinged to the pivoting lever (13) pivotably relative to the latter. The telescopic rail (11) is assigned a slotted guide (14) along which the rack frame (6) can move when in the open position transferred into the opening position, for a pivoting movement of the rack frame (6) relative to the telescopic rail (11).

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

-10. (canceled)

### Claim 11

A drawer rack for a cabinet, the drawer rack comprising:
upright sidewalls oriented parallel to each other;
a rear wall extending between the upright sidewalls, wherein the upright sidewalls and the rear wall delimit a cabinet interior of the cabinet laterally and to the rear of the cabinet;
telescopic rails including a translatorily movable telescopic rail;
a rack frame connected to the telescopic rails and transferable by the telescopic rails from a closed position in which the rack frame is located inside the cabinet interior into an open position in which the rack frame is removed from the cabinet interior, wherein the rack frame comprises at least one vertical support column and at least one tray supported at least at the at least one vertical support column of the rack frame;
a pivot lever connecting the rack frame pivotably to the translatorily movable telescopic rail, wherein the rack frame is pivotably connected to the pivot lever;
wherein the translatorily movable telescopic rail comprises a guide structure;
wherein the rack frame, when in the open position, is configured to move along the guide structure to carry out a pivot movement of the rack frame relative to the translatorily movable telescopic rail.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The drawer rack according to claim 11, wherein the rack frame comprises a bottom frame support, wherein the pivot lever is connected pivotably by a pivot bearing to the bottom frame support, wherein the bottom frame support comprises a first guide body arranged in a first guide path of the guide structure, and wherein the rack frame is guided by the first guide body in the first guide path of the guide structure.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The drawer rack according to claim 12, wherein the first guide path is rectilinear.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The drawer rack according to claim 12, wherein the rack frame comprises a second guide body configured to guide the rack frame along a second guide path of the guide structure during the pivot movement of the rack frame so that the pivot movement of the rack frame is determined by the first and second guide bodies and the first and second guide paths, wherein the first guide path is rectilinear and the second guide path is arc-shaped.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The drawer rack according to claim 14, wherein the first and second guide bodies are guide rollers.

### Claim 16 (depends on 11)

The drawer rack according to claim 11, wherein the guide structure is arranged in a terminal region of the translatorily moveable telescopic rail.

### Claim 17 (depends on 11)

The drawer rack according to claim 11, wherein the guide structure comprises two guide structure members, each comprising an arc-shaped outer wall region, wherein the guide structure comprises a rectilinear guide path provided between the arc-shaped outer wall regions of the two guide structure members.

### Claim 18 (depends on 11)

The drawer rack according to claim 11, wherein the pivot lever is moveable into a rectilinear guide path of the guide structure when the rack frame moves in a closing movement from the open position into the closed position.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The drawer rack according to claim 18, wherein the pivot lever comprises a pivot connection to the rack frame and the pivot connection comprises a pivot lever guide body movable into the rectilinear guide path of the guide structure during the closing movement of the rack frame.

### Claim 20 (depends on 11)

The drawer rack according to claim 11, further comprising a blocking device interacting with the guide structure such that, in a pulled-out and pivoted state of the rack frame, the rack frame is blocked from performing a push-in movement into the cabinet interior.
