[0057] FIG. 15 a perspective view of a guide element of the invention shown separately.
[0058] FIG. 1 shows a cupboard 10 of the invention, on which a shelf 11 is supported such that it can be pulled out and is rotatable. The shelf 11 can have side walls 15, 16, which are located so they can be folded in and out, in order to position it in an approximately horizontal orientation. In principle, all the side walls of the shelf 11 can have this function.
[0059] FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of the cupboard 10 of the invention having an adjusting mechanism for linearly adjusting (pulling out) the shelf 11 and rotating it horizontally. For that purpose, the adjusting mechanism can have at least one, and preferably two, guides 14, for instance in the form of a linear pull-out device, and the guides can cooperate with a revolute joint 13. The revolute joint 13 can also be embodied with a turntable. As a connecting element between the revolute joint and the guide, a board 12 or a rod system can be provided, on which the revolute joint 13 can be located. Fundamentally, the revolute joint can also be in direct contact with the guides 14. Relative to the adjustment mechanism, in particular the guides 14 or the carcass 10′ of the cupboard 10, the shelf 11 can be supported rotatably via the joint 13.
[0060] FIG. 3, in greater detail, shows an exploded view of the first embodiment of the present invention, which further shows that the shelf 11 can be composed of both a shelf base and side walls 15 and 16, which are able to cooperate via corner elements 14 to surround the shelf base. Particularly in the corner elements 14, joints can be provided by way of which the side walls 15 and 16 can be supported pivotably about a horizontal axis of the shelf. As a result, the side walls can be lowered, in order to gain easier access to the objects stored on the shelf 11. Instead of the inclination about a rotary axis, the wall can also be shifted, for instance vertically downward, in order to obtain easier access to the shelf 11. For that purpose, suitable guides can be provided. The board 12 can be called a platform and can be furnished as a connection between the revolute joint 13 and the guides 14.
[0061] FIG. 4 shows a variant of the embodiment of FIGS. 1-3, in which the platform 12 is embodied as a cross linkage, at the crossing point of which a receptacle 12′ for the revolute joint 13 can be furnished. Fundamentally, a structural connection can be furnished between the guide and the revolute joint. In FIG. 4, the shelf 11 has been pulled out as far as possible from the carcass 10′, so that the shelf 11 can be rotatably freely relative to the carcass 10′. This kind of rotatability can be seen in FIG. 5, for example, in which a front region 11; of the shelf 11 faces toward the opening of the carcass; that is, the shelf has been rotated outward by almost 180° or by more than 180°. The shelf can be large enough that inside the cupboard itself, it cannot be rotated freely, but instead becomes freely rotatable only once it has been pulled out of the cupboard via the guide.
[0062] As FIG. 5 shows, the side walls can in principe also be furnished in the form of individual struts, which via corner pillars can form a rail around the shelf 11.
[0063] FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment of the present invention, which instead of the classical guides 14 has a scissors mechanism or cross mechanism 20 as a pull-out device, by means of which the shelf 11 can be pulled out of the carcass 10′. The mechanism 20 can be formed with at least one and preferably two pairs of arms or (elongated) means. For bracing the mechanism, and/or as a guide for the first pair of elongated means 15, 15′ against the carcass, a support arm 17 can be furnished, along which the first pair of (elongated) means 15, 15′ can rest in sliding fashion. In an end region of the individual elongated means of the first pair of elongated means 15, 15′ there can be an adjoining second pair of (elongated) means 16, 16′, which is able to support the revolute joint 13 individually or jointly. The individual (elongated) means of the two pairs can be connected to one another in articulated fashion, either directly or indirectly. The individual elongated means can also be called scissors elements.
[0064] As can be seen particularly from FIG. 8, the support arm 17 can have a guide element 17a. At least one of the two elongated means 15, 15′ can be guided along this guide element. Preferably, at least one of the two elongated means 15, 15′ also has a guide element 15a, 15a′, which cooperates with the guide element 17a of the support arm. Particularly in this embodiment, the support arm can also be called a guide arm, although it is not imperative for it to provide a supporting function. For cooperation of the individual guide elements 17a, 15a and/or 15a′, a connection means, such as a bolt, can be provided, which can slide along, and in particular in, at or on top of, the individual guide elements. Thus a guide region or guide element that can function simultaneously as a joint can be formed. Especially the guide elements of the two elongated means 15, 15′ can be limited in their length, and as a result, a maximum outswing distance of the drawer can be established. If the connecting means has reached a front end region of a guide element, in or at or on which it moves, a terminal pull-out position can be attained.
[0065] FIG. 9 shows the s or crosswise arrangement of FIG. 8 in a perspective view from below. From this, it can be seen that the elongated means 15′ has reached a terminal region or the guide or support 17, and thus a terminal pull-out position of the shelf 11 can be reached. In that position, the shelf 11 can protrude far enough out of the carcass 10′ that free rotatatability of the shelf 11 about the joint 13 or the rotary axis of the joint is enabled. In this terminal position, the shelf 11 preferably protrudes all the way out of the carcass 10′.
[0066] FIG. 10 shows the shelf 11 on the above-described or crosswise arrangement in a rotated position, in which a front part of the shelf 11 projects rearward. It is accordingly possible to furnish rotatability of the shelf 11 such that the various corners of the shelf 11 can be moved past the side walls of the carcass 10′ without contacting the carcass in such a way as to damage the material. Such damage can be prevented according to the invention when the shelf 11 is in the pushed-in position. Both of these embodiments are to be understood merely as examples for how the present invention of an adjustment mechanism can make it possible to linearly displace and rotate a shelf about an axis. In principle, a door can be mounted on the cupboard, and the door can be closed whenever the shelf 11 is located inside the carcass in the retracted position described.
[0067] FIG. 11 shows a preferred embodiment of the revolute joint 13, which can also be embodied with a turntable. The revolute joint 13 can have a first region 13′, which can be fixed opposite the mechanism 22 or the platform 12, in other words opposite a part that can be pulled out of the cupboard. For that purpose, recesses 35, for instance in the form of bores, can be provided, by way of which the mechanism can be fixed relative to the part of the cupboard that can be pulled out. Preferably, by way of these recesses, the revolute joint 13 can be screwed or riveted to the part that can be pulled out. The revolute joint 13 can furthermore have a a second part 13″, which is rotatably supported relative to the part of the cupboard that can be pulled out. The rotatable support can in particular exist relative to the first part 13′. The rotatable second part 13″ can be furnished by a portable element 13′″, which can also be called a pivot or a means that protrudes (in the direction of the rotary axis). Upon a rotation of the second part 13″ of the revolute joint 13, the portable element 13′″ can also perform the motion of the second part 13″, because that element can be secured to the second part. A guide element 30 can also be provided, which can be secured relative to the pull-out part of the cupboard and can interact with the portable element 13′″. The guide element 30 can have a slaving means 31, for instance in the form of a hook or a receptacle, which can be furnished and arranged so as to interact with and preferably guide the portable element 13′″. The interaction can in particular consist in that the portable element 13′″ is located in a receptacle of the slaving means 31, if the portable element 13′″ is provided in a suitable position relative to the guide element 30. Depending on which function the guide element 30 has at the moment, the portable element 13′″ can guide the slaving means 31, or the slaving means 31 can guide the portable element slaving means 31, if the portable element 13′″ is provided in a suitable position relative to the guide element 30. Depending on which function the guide element 30 has at the time, either the portable element 13′″ can guide the slaving means 31, or the slaving means 31 can guide the portable element 13′″. This relationship will be explained further hereinafter.
[0068] The portable element 13′″, in particular in an angular portion of the rotation of the revolute joint 13 about its own axis, can be delivered to the slaving means 31. The slaving means 31 can cooperate with a spring 32 and/or a damper 33, and the slaving means 31 can be feasibly supported along a link/link guide 34. Counter to the spring force of the spring 32, the slaving means 31 can be movable along the link 34 into a first end region, in which the slaving means 31 can at least partially be spaced apart radially from the axis of rotation of the revolute joint 13. In particular, as shown in FIG. 11 on the right-hand side of the drawing, this can be a lower end region of the link 34. In this position the slaving means 31 can be in a position in which the portable element 13′″ is at least partially released from the receptacle of the slaving means 31, as a result of which a (clockwise) rotation of the portable element 13′″ (with the revolute joint) out of a region of contact with the slaving means 31 is made possible. The link can nestle closely in an outer contour of the joint 13, in particular a circumference of the joint.
[0069] This terminal position of the slaving means 31 is shown for example on the left-hand side of FIG. 11 for the slaving means 31′. In this position, the slaving means 31 is prepared for receiving the portable element 13′″. By contact of the portable element 13′″ with the slaving means in the latter's first terminal position, as is shown in FIG. 11 for the slaving means 31′, the slaving means can be moved or pressed out of the first terminal region (detent region), which is spaced apart radially from the axis of rotation of the revolute joint 13; as a result, the spring, not shown in further detail on the left side (30′) and which in that position is tensed, can be relaxed. The spring leads the slaving eans 31 through the link 34 approximately at a tangent to the revolute joint 13, while the spring 32 at least partially relaxes. The damper 33 can be located oppositely from the direction of the relaxation movement of the spring 32. As a result, the relaxation of the spring 32 and thus also the movement of the slaving means 31 in damping fashion, especially along the link 34, is accomplished.
[0070] If a (second) terminal position in the link 34, a maximally inserted damping position of the damper 33 or a maximal relaxation of the spring 32 is achieved, then the slaving means 31 has reached its second terminal position, in which it is placed at least partially closer to a rotary axis of the revolute joint 13 than in the first terminal position already described above.
[0071] The link 34 can be approximately equivalent to the circumferential shape of the revolute joint 13, in particular the shape of the outer circumference of the first part 13′ or approximately the shape of the outer circumference of the first part 13′, or can be embodied approximately tangentially to the revolute joint 13. Preferably, the spring and/or damper are approximately parallel to one another in their orientation and/or are tangential to the revolute joint 13, in particular tangential to the point of the revolute joint 13, in which the slaving means 31, in the position shown there on the right-hand side, is positioned relative to the revolute joint 13 such that it is in engagement with the portable element 13′.
[0072] By a clockwise rotation of the upper cupboard out of the position of the portable element 13′ shown in FIG. 11, the portable element 13′ (which rotates along with the rotation of the shelf 11 via the revolute joint 13), the slaving means 31 moves out of the position shown there on the right-hand side, to the radially spaced-apart position, counter to the spring force of the spring 32. This position is shown in FIG. 12, for example, in which the slaving means 13′″ has reached its at least partially radially spaced-apart first terminal position, and the portable element 13′″ departs from the reception of the slaving means 31 upon a clockwise rotation of the revolute joint. The first terminal region of the link 34 can be furnished by a detent/bearing point or a detent/bearing receptacle, in which the slaving means 31 can be supported counter to the spring tension 32. By means of an approximately linear shifting of the slaving means, a rotary motion of the revolute joint can thus be enabled.
[0073] On the revolute joint 13, there are preferably two guide elements 30 provided along the circumference of the revolute joint 13; preferably, the first end points of the guide link, in which the receptacle of the slaving means 31 is spaced apart at least partially radially from the portable element 13′″, point along the circumference of the revolute joint relative to one another.
[0074] FIG. 12 shows both slaving means 31 and 31′ in the first terminal position of each of them. By their relative positioning along the outer circumference of the revolute joint 13, the portable element 13′″ is able to move between the two terminal positions of the two slaving means 31 and 31′ (along the circumference) of the revolute joint 13. A rotation that goes beyond the above can be limited by means of the impact of the slaving means 31 and 31′ on the respective damper 33, 33′ and a second terminal position 35 and 35′, respectively, along the respective link 34 and 34′. The slaving means 31 can accordingly be embodied so that it departs from the portable part 13′″ only toward one side, or in other words to leave its receptacle only upon the either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the revolute joint.
[0075] If, as shown in FIG. 11, the portable part 13″ is provided only on the right-hand side in the slaving means 13 when that means is in its second terminal position, then by the clockwise rotation of the revolute joint 13 or of the shelf 11, the spring 32 is tensed, and the slaving means 31 shifts into its first terminal position of the link. In that process, the portable element 13′″ guides the slaving means 13 to its first terminal position. Conversely, if the portable element 13′″ is delivered to the slaving means 31 and in the process the slaving means 31 moves out of its first terminal position, the spring relaxes counter to the damping action of the damper 33, and the slaving means 31 guides the portable element 13′″ in the direction of its second terminal position.
[0076] Whether the portable element 13′″ or the slaving means 31 determines their common motion along the link 34 accordingly depends on the starting point of the slaving means 31 in the link 34.
[0077] The two guide elements 30 and 30′ can be provided at an arbitrary angle from one another along the outer circumference of the joint 13. In FIG. 11, they are oriented at approximately at a 180° angle to one another. As a result, the rotatability of the shelf 11 and/or the link 13 is limited to an angle of approximately 180°. The limitation of the rotatability of the receptacle or of the joint 13 can depend in particular on the angular position of the two slaving means 31 and 31′ in both of their terminal positions, as shown for example in FIG. 11 on the right-hand side on the slaving means 31.
[0078] By a relative positioning of the two slaving means 31 and 31′ along an outer circumference of the joint 13, a rotary angle of the revolute joint 13 and of the shelf 11, which is secured to the revolute joint 13, can be adjustable. The revolute joint can rotate between the two second terminal positions only as far as the portable element 13′″ permits.
[0079] For the mode of operation of the guide elements 30 in cooperation with the portable element 13′″, it is fundamentally unimportant whether the guide elements 30 and 30′ are located on the shelf 11 and the portable element 13′″ is provided on a static part of the revolute joint 13, or the other way around. Conversely, what can be decisive for the invention that the portable element 13′″ and the guide elements 30 and 30′ are secured on different parts of the revolute joint or on different parts of the pull-out unit. One of the parts (30, 30′)/13 should be located at least on a static region, that is, a region that is not rotatable, while the other part can be located on a rotatable part, such as the joint or the shelf 11. The first terminal position along the link 31 is identified in FIG. 15 by the reference numeral 36.
[0080] In summary, it can be determined that the present invention, in both this and other embodiments, relates to a drawer/shelf that can be pulled out of a cabinet carcass and that is fundamentally rotatably supported.
[0081] It can preferably be provided that, while free rotatability of the drawer/shelf on a revolute joint is made possible, nevertheless the free rotatability can be interrupted on account of an interaction of the revolute joint with means for positioning the rotatable part of the drawer/shelf in certain positions; that is, a fixation of the drawer/shelf in a certain position is enabled. This fixation can be overcome; for example, the drawer can be released from the fixation or the fixed position.
[0082] Especially preferably, the fixation can be accomplished in damped and/or guided fashion, as a result of which vibrations that can for instance be traced back to the fixation are reduced or can be averted.
[0083] Fundamentally, it can be preferable that the drawer is movable back and forth between one or more fixations or is fundamentally freely rotatable, i.e. by 360°, while the rotatability in the region of the fixation is interrupted if the fixation needs to be overcome.
[0084] FIG. 15 shows a further embodiment of the present invention, which can function fundamentally on the same principle as the first embodiment.
[0085] The concept can be described this way: a revolute joint 40 is furnished, on which a drawer/shelf, i.e. a storage option for a drawer can be located. In comparison with a base body of the drawer that can be pulled out, it can be provided that the storage option can be rotatable.
[0086] The base body can also be limited to a mechanism for pulling out the drawer/shelf.
[0087] The revolute joint can have a part 41 that can be affixed to the base body of the drawer and that is preferably fixed thereon.
[0088] Retention means 50, 51 are preferably furnished, which make it possible, despite the free rotatability of the revolute joint, to enable a fixation of the rotatable part, that is, of the attachment/shelf on the revolute joint in a predefined rotary position.
[0089] To that end, a (resilient) receptacle, which can also be called a shaped spring 50, can be furnished on the revolute joint or a fixed (non-rotatable) part of the drawer. As a counterpart, a retention element 51, which can be reversibly fixed in or can engage the receptacle, can be furnished, which can also be called an engagement element 51, such as a nib or pivot, can be accordingly furnished on a fixed part of the drawer or furnished to the revolute joint.
[0090] Thus a first one of these two parts (receptacle, retention element) can be furnished on the revolute joint 40, and a second one of the two parts can be furnished on the gase body or fixed part of the drawer. A fixed opart of the drawer can in particular be a nonrotating part or stationary part of the pullout of the drawer.
[0091] The receptacle, such as a shaped spring 50, can for instance be embodied like an open pretzel, of the kind shown in FIG. 15. Basically, the shaped spring 50 can have at least two functions. First, it can provide a receptacle 52, in which the engaging element 51 can be reversibly fixed, as a result of which the rotatable part of the drawer can be fixed in a (rotary) orientation, which is equivalent to an engagement of the engaging element in the receptacle of the shaped spring. If the engaging element is fixed in the receptacle of the shaped spring, it can as a result be possible to fix the drawer in a rotated position.
[0092] A second function of the shaped spring can be to accommodate the momentum of the rotatable part of the drawer before the the engaging element 51 is fixed, or in other words to slow down the rotary motion of the shelf/drawer before providing a fixation.
[0093] This can counteract damage to the shaped spring 50, since the rotatable part of the drawer/shelf does not first, in the receptacle 52, have to slow the full speed of the rotary motion down to zero. For that, a contact region 53 on the shaped spring can be provided, which can at least in some regions be in contact with the engaging element 51. This contact means 54 can be seen for example in FIG. 17, in which the engaging element 51, although already in contact with the shaped spring 54, has nevertheless yet been located/fixed in the receptacle 52 of the shaped spring 50 (FIG. 16).
[0094] The contact region 53 of the shaped spring 20 with the engaging element 51 can be in contact via spring tension, which can increase as there is a closer and closer approach of the engaging element 51 to the receptacle 52 at the shaped spring. The shaped spring can therefore be spaced apart from a circular path of the element 51 around the revolute joint by an amount that decreases, the closer (as a function of this) the element 51 comes to the receptacle 52. As a result, a part of the spring can experience a bending force, originating at or in other words because of the element 51, which can furnish a braking sliding contact between the element 51 and the spring 20.
[0095] Thus by means of a kind of sliding contact, the rotary speed of the rotatable part of the drawer can be decreased, before the engaging element 51 reaches into the receptacle 52 of the shaped spring 50. The shaped spring, which can also be called a capturing element, can be formed either symmetrically or asymmetrically. This shaping can extend in particular along a path surrounding the element 50. At least in a symmetrical construction, the engaging element can be detachable from the receptacle 52 on both sides, or in other words can perform a rotary motion on both sides of the shaped spring.
[0096] Fundamentally, it can be possible, by an appropriate exertion of force on the rotatable part 40 of the revolute joint, to overcome the reluctance of the shaped spring 50, and in particular its receptacle 52, and to set the engaging element free from the receptacle 52 of the shaped spring 50.
[0097] As a result, a further rotation of the revolute joint is enabled beyond the contact point/region between the receptacle 52 of the shaped spring 50 and the engaging element 51. Fundamentally, a plurality of shaped springs 50 and/or engaging elements 51 are provided on the rotatable part 40 of the revolute joint and/or the fixed part (that is, the nonrotating/static part). As a result, a plurality of (rotational) locking positions for the rotating part of the drawer/receptacle can be furnished on the adjustment mechanism.
[0098] In FIGS. 16 and 17, two engaging elements 51 are located on the rotatable part 40 of the revolute join, on opposite sides thereof, and a shaped spring 50 is provided on the fixed part of the drawer, or the fixed part of the revolute joint 41 (which can be displaceably supported via the adjustment mechanism). As a result, the rotatable part of the drawer/receptacle can be fixed in two positions, and between the positions, a rotation of 180° is made possible.
[0099] The retension/retension force of the shaped spring 50 on the engaging element 51 in the engagement of the two shown in FIG. 16 can be overcome by exerting appropriate force on the rotatable part of the revolute joint, preferably in both directions, and as a result in total a rotation of the drawer by 360° or more can be enabled.
[0100] The shaped spring can also be called a receiving element 50 for reversible fixation of an engaging element 51 or of a region of the rotatable part 40 of the revolute joint for a drawer or support. The reversible fixation can be done from the pickup element 50 outward in both rotary directions of the revolute joint.
[0101] For especially easy mounting of the revolute joint, it can be provided that a receptacle 60 for the revolute joint is furnished on the fixed part of the drawer. This can be provided as U-shaped or horseshoe-shaped, and the revolute joint with its part 41 that is fixed/to be fixed/nonrotating can be placed in or introduced into a preferably open region of the receptacle or can be connected to it.
[0102] For fixation of the revolute joint on the fixed part of the drawer, or in other words on the nonrotably supported part of the drawer, a fixation element, for instance in the form of a hook, can be provided, which keeps the revolute joing in the receptacle 60.
[0103] FIG. 18 shows the revolute joint and its receptacle 60 separately from one another; guide rails 51 which can align the revolute joint, and in particular the fixed part 41, can be furnished positionally accurately in the receptacle.
[0104] Especially preferably, it is provided that the drawer, after being pulled out, caln be retained in an open position. To that end, in FIGS. 19 and 20, a retention mechanism 80, 81 can be provided, which can be secured to a rear side of the drawer and on an inner side of a carcass, and when the drawer is pulled out all the way or as needed they mesh with one another (can be inserted or latched), so that a certain pressure has to be exerted in order to free the drawer from the receptacle 80 of the retention mechanism in order to free it so it can be returned to the carcass, This pressure force can preferably beset as greater than the pressure force that must be exerted on the rotatable part of a drawer in order for the revolute joint/engagement element of the rotatable part of the drawer to be freed from the receptacle 50 in which the drawer is fixed in an orientation of the rotary motion. As a result, rotatability of the drawer outward via the above-mentioned locking point, for example in the form of the shaped spring 50, is enabled, without the drawer being pushed back into the carcass by mistake.
[0105] The locking means 80, 81 can in particular be embodied as a latchable pair of hooks (see FIG. 20).
[0106] Alternatively, for releasing the retention mechanism 80, 81, an actuatable regions, key, or lever can bd provided that is operatively connected to the retention mechanism and that can undo the locking.
[0107] FIG. 21 shows an especially preferred embodiment of the entire drawer, which is shown in an exploded view and shows individual parts of such a drawer.
[0108] Fundamentally, each of these individual parts can be can be provided, without a further part and in arbitrary combination, so as to implement the present invention.
