A sliding-pivoting mechanism of a shelf of a piece of furniture or household appliance includes two pivot arms pivotally secured to a body and forming a parallel guide for a pull-out guide having at least one guide rail and a running rail. A locking mechanism is arranged on the guide rail and on one of the pivot arms for preventing a simultaneous pivoting and sliding movement. The locking mechanism has a locking pin moveably arranged on one of the pivot arms, and a locking plate mounted stationarily relative to the guide rail and with which the locking pin cooperates in such a way that a pivoting of the pivot arm is blocked when the shelf is raised into an upper loading and unloading position. An unlocking device is coupled to the locking mechanism and includes an actuation element and an unlocking element, with which the locking pin can be moved out of a blocking position into a release position.

A mesh shelf system comprises a bracket mount, a bracket, a mesh shelf, and a shelf locking clamp. The bracket mount defines a plurality of mount apertures. The bracket is attached to the bracket mount by interfitting with the mount apertures. The mesh shelf is carried by the bracket and includes a crossbar residing proximate to the bracket mount. The shelf locking clamp includes first and second convexities that are disposed in apertures in the bracket, and the shelf locking clamp is rotatable between a first position away from the crossbar and a second position in which the shelf locking clamp resides proximate to the first crossbar. In the second position, the shelf locking clamp is attachable to the bracket mount.

A sliding-pivoting mechanism for a rack includes two pivot arms pivotably secured to the carcass, arranged parallel to one another, and forming a parallel guide for a pull-out guide having a guide rail and a running rail to which the rack is fastened. A locking mechanism is arranged on the guide rail and on one of the pivot arms to prevent a simultaneous pivoting and sliding movement. The locking mechanism has a locking pin arranged movably on one of the pivot arms and a locking plate mounted in a positionally fixed manner with respect to the guide rail and which interacts with the locking pin to block a pivoting movement of the pivot arms if the rack is lifted into an upper loading and unloading position. An unlocking device, coupled to the locking mechanism, has an actuating element and an unlocking element to move the locking pin from a blocking position into a release position.

A storage apparatus for food has a food receiving module which has a bottom wall and opposing side walls. Mounting supports are provided for attaching the storage apparatus to a household appliance component. The food receiving module is movably coupled to the mounting supports, and the storage apparatus has a tilt device, with which the food receiving module can be tilted relative to the mounting supports about a tilt axis. The tilt axis is arranged in a central longitudinal third of the length of the food receiving module measured in the depth direction of the storage apparatus.

A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a first bracket, a second bracket and a supporting feature. The first rail is configured to be mounted to a rack through the first bracket and the second bracket. The second rail is movable relative to the first rail and is configured to carry a carried object. The supporting feature is arranged on the first bracket. When the second rail is located at a predetermined position relative to the first rail, an end of the second rail is not extended beyond the supporting feature, and the supporting feature is configured to support a predetermined portion of the carried object.
