The invention relates to a sliding/pivoting mechanism of a shelf of a piece of furniture or of a domestic appliance for pulling out and raising the shelf from a body of the piece of furniture or of the domestic appliance, which sliding/pivoting mechanism has at least two pivoting arms, which are fastened by means of a first end to at least one of the side walls of the body in such a way that said pivoting arms can be rotated parallel to the plane of the side walls and which are arranged parallel to each other at a distance from each other, wherein at respective second ends of the pivoting arms, a guide rail is fastened in such a way that the guide rail can be pivoted parallel to the plane of the side walls and in such a way that the guide rail can be pivoted from a lower position inside the body to a raised upper position at least partially outside the body, and at least one running rail, which is linearly displacable in the guide rail and to which the shelf is fastened, wherein a damping unit that damps the traveling motion of the shelf in an end position is arranged on the sliding/pivoting mechanism. The invention further relates to a piece of furniture and to a domestic appliance having a sliding/pivoting mechanism and a domestic appliance having a damping unit, which is arranged on the pull-out guide, for damping the shelf in an end position.

An apparatus for fitting a carrier element in a body, including a pivoting member for arranging the carrier element, and fitting means for fitting the pivoting member on a wall of the body. The pivoting member includes two rotatable pivot arms and has three pivot axles. When mounted on the body, a first pivot arm is arranged on the body in a rotatable manner by way of a first pivot axle, the two pivot arms are arranged in a rotatable manner on one another via a second pivot axle, and a third pivot axle is provided on a second pivot arm. Near one end of the second pivot arm, the carrier element is rotatably arranged with respect to the second pivot arm by the third pivot axle, and, during a pivoting and/or displacement movement of the pivoting, a carrier element arranged thereon is movable in a single, exclusively horizontal plane.

A laundry module performs a washing function to wash laundry and has a height that is less than the height of a laundry appliance. The laundry module can be part of a modular laundry system including the laundry appliance. The laundry module can be vertically arranged with the laundry appliance, such as by supporting the laundry appliance thereupon.

This invention provides elevating storage apparatus (10) for storing an article or articles in an elevated position from which the article(s) cannot be vertically lowered because an obstacle obscures the space there beneath. To achieve this the article(s) which are supported on article support means (14) are moved outwardly with the article support means (14) supported by a pair of spaced apart slide assemblies (11, 12) for longitudinal movement between the stowed elevated position above the obscuring obstacle and a withdrawn elevated position forward of the obstacle. The article support means (14) is connected to the slide assemblies (11, 12) by links (52, 53) which enable the article support means to be raised and lowered between substantially vertically aligned withdrawn elevated position and the lower accessible position. Control means (60) is provided for selectively raising and lowering the article support means (14) relative to the slide assemblies (11, 12) and for moving the article support means to and from its stowed elevated position.

A cabinet includes a first shelf disposed inside the cabinet at a height above waist level, the first shelf having a retracted position and a deployed position below and outwardly from the retracted position. First and second pivot arms are pivotally operably attached to the first end the first shelf and to the cabinet, the first and second pivot arms forming a first parallelogram. Third and fourth pivot arms are pivotally operably attached a second end of the first shelf and to the cabinet below the first shelf, the third and fourth pivot arms forming a second parallelogram. A first drive motor operably is operably to one of the first and second pivot arms and the third and fourth pivot arms to swing the first and the second parallelograms outwardly and downwardly from the cabinet to position the first shelf from the retracted position to the deployed position.
