Sliding-pivoting mechanism of a shelf of a piece of furniture or of a household appliance, and piece of furniture or a household appliance

A sliding-pivoting mechanism of a shelf of a piece of furniture or household appliance for pulling out and raising the shelf out of a body of the piece of furniture or household appliance having side walls, sliding-pivoting mechanism comprising:

• at least two pivot arms of a pivot mechanism rotatably fixed on at least one of the side walls of the body with a first end parallel to a plane of the side walls and arranged in parallel spaced apart from one another;
• a guide rail of a sliding mechanism pivotably fixed in parallel to the plane of the side walls at respective second ends of the pivot arms in such a way that the guide rail is pivotable out of a lower position inside the body into a raised upper position at least partially outside the body;
• at least one slide rail, which is linearly displaceable in the guide rail and on which the shelf is fastened;
• a lever unit, which assists raising and lowering of the pivot mechanism and is pivotably fixed on the at least one slide rail in parallel to the plane of the side walls;
• and
• at least one coupling element of a first coupling unit arranged on the lever unit in such a way that the at least one coupling element can be coupled with a correspondence element, corresponding to the at least one coupling element, of the at least one first coupling unit on at least one of the at least two pivot arms by displacing the at least one slide rail into a predetermined pivot position.

A piece of furniture, comprising:

• a body having side walls;
• a shelf fixed in the furniture body by means of a sliding-pivoting mechanism, using which the shelf can be pulled out of the furniture body and raised, wherein the sliding-pivoting mechanism comprises
• at least two pivot arms of a pivot mechanism rotatably fixed on at least one of the side walls of the body with a first end parallel to a plane of the side walls and arranged in parallel spaced apart from one another;
• a guide rail of a sliding mechanism pivotably fixed in parallel to the plane of the side walls at respective second ends of the pivot arms in such a way that the guide rail is pivotable out of a lower position inside the body into a raised upper position at least partially outside the body;
• at least one slide rail, which is linearly displaceable in the guide rail and on which the shelf is fastened;
• a lever unit, which assists raising and lowering of the pivot mechanism and is pivotably fixed on the at least one slide rail in parallel to the plane of the side walls;
• and
• at least one coupling element of a first coupling unit arranged on the lever unit in such a way that the at least one coupling element can be coupled with a correspondence element, corresponding to the at least one coupling element, of the at least one first coupling unit on at least one of the at least two pivot arms by displacing the at least one slide rail into a predetermined pivot position.

A dishwasher, cooking appliance, or refrigerator, comprising:

• a body having side walls and defining an inner side of a usable space of the dishwasher, cooking appliance, or refrigerator;
• a shelf fixed on the inner side of the usable space;
• and
• a sliding-pivoting mechanism configured to pull out and raise the shelf from the inner side of the useable space, wherein the sliding-pivoting mechanism comprises
• at least two pivot arms of a pivot mechanism rotatably fixed on at least one of the side walls of the body with a first end parallel to a plane of the side walls and arranged in parallel spaced apart from one another;
• a guide rail of a sliding mechanism pivotably fixed in parallel to the plane of the side walls at respective second ends of the pivot arms in such a way that the guide rail is pivotable out of a lower position inside the body into a raised upper position at least partially outside the body;
• at least one slide rail, which is linearly displaceable in the guide rail and on which the shelf is fastened;
• a lever unit, which assists raising and lowering of the pivot mechanism and is pivotably fixed on the at least one slide rail in parallel to the plane of the side walls;
• and
• at least one coupling element of a first coupling unit arranged on the lever unit in such a way that the at least one coupling element can be coupled with a correspondence element, corresponding to the at least one coupling element, of the at least one first coupling unit on at least one of the at least two pivot arms by displacing the at least one slide rail into a predetermined pivot position.
