Description

The invention relates to a waste collection system with a shelf, at least one can be placed on the shelf waste container, and a fitting for the installation of the shelf in a corner cabinet.

Out DE 200 19 413 U1 a waste collection system is known in which the shelf forms the bottom of a carousel, which receives a plurality of individually removable waste containers and supported so that the stability is ensured even in view of the centrifugal forces occurring when turning the carousel. The carousel is accessed via a diagonally extending door of the corner cabinet.

Out EP 2 253 244 A1 a rotary and Ausziehbeschlag is known, which according to the features specified in the preamble of claim 1 has a rotatably mounted about a vertical axis in the corner cabinet carrier and a pull-out, on which the shelf relative to the carrier is displaced so that it after rotation of the Support by approximately 90 ° from a door opening of the corner cabinet can be pulled out, which occupies only about half the width of the corner cabinet. On the other half of the front of the corner cabinet, another cabinet can be built so that a corner solution with a 90 ° inside corner is created.

EP 0 276 339 A1 shows a waste collection system in which the carrier forms a plurality of troughs, in which the waste containers are set individually.

The object of the invention is to provide a waste collection system that can be produced inexpensively.

This object is achieved in that in a rotary and Ausziehbeschlag the type described above, the shelf forms at least one adapted to the contour of the waste container trough whose depth is less than a quarter of the depth of the waste container, the at least one trough in an insert is formed, which is placed on the shelf, and the shelf is a shallow dish with a circumferential raised edge into which the insert is inserted appropriately.

The cost-effective production is made possible by the fact that a commercial rotary and Ausziehbeschlag for corner cabinets and a corresponding shelf can be easily converted to a waste collection system by a suitably shaped insert that forms the troughs is placed on the shelf.

Often, there is a desire to use a 90 ° inside corner of a kitchenette for a sink. The space below the sink is then partially built by a Spülensyphon. The invention now makes it possible to use the remaining space for a waste collection system.

Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Preferably de de shelf has several troughs, in the waste container can be used, which differ in height. This allows a particularly efficient use of the available space.

The rotational movement of the carrier, which receives the shelf displaceable, can be advantageously coupled with the opening movement of the corner cabinet door. This greatly facilitates the handling of the waste collection system.

In the following embodiments are explained in detail with reference to the drawing.

First, based on the FIGS. 1 to 7 the structure and function of a rotary and Ausziehbeschlages be used, which is used in the waste collection system.

In Fig. 1 a body of a Kücheneckschrankes 10 is shown in a horizontal section, with side walls 12, a rear wall 14 and a center post 16 which defines a door opening 18 with the right side wall 12, while the left half of the front of the body adjusted by a not shown further body element is. Inside the body, an approximately semicircular shelf 20 is housed. With the help of a schematically illustrated in plan fitting 22 is the shelf 20 held in the body so that it can be swung out of the door opening 18 and then pulled out further.

The fitting 22 comprises a stable, arcuate support 24, which is pivotable about a body fixed vertical axis 26. The axis 26 is disposed on the side facing away from the door opening side of the center post 16 and rotatably mounted in a bracket 28 mounted on the body. How clearer in Fig. 2 can be seen, is supported on the free end of the carrier 24 from an intermediate carrier 30 which is pivotable relative to the carrier 24 about a further vertical axis 32. The intermediate carrier 30 has at its end closer to the center post an arm 34 which carries a curve follower 36 at the free end. This cam follower engages in a guide slot 38 which is formed in a bracket of the console 28.

In addition, the intermediate carrier 30 carries at its top a pair of parallel guide rails 40 (dash-dotted lines in the drawing), which cooperate with mounted on the underside of the shelf 20 rails 42.

On the underside of the shelf 20 also two curved, mirror image arranged guide slots 44 are formed, of which only the left guide slot is used in the example shown here. The other guide slot is provided for an application of the shelf, in which the door opening 18 is located on the other side of the body. The guide slots 44 may for example be formed directly on these molded in a plastic shelf shelf.

As most clearly in Fig. 2 can be seen, goes from the carrier 24, an arm 46 which engages with a curve follower 48 formed at its free end in the guide slot 44 of the shelf.

In the in Fig. 1 shown state, the intermediate carrier 30 is fixed by the cam follower 36 and the guide slot 38 rotatably on the carrier 24, so that the carrier and the intermediate carrier behave like a rigid unit. Since the guide slot 44 formed on the shelf in the region of the cam follower 48 extends obliquely to the rails 42, and the shelf 20 is blocked against displacement along the rails 42.

Now, if the user wants to swing the shelf 20 out of the door opening, so he takes with his hand through the door opening through the edge of the shelf and pulls it forward. The shelf 20 and the fitting 22 pivot as a rigid unit about the axis 26. As in Fig. 1 it can be seen, the guide slot 38 describes in its leftmost end portion of a circular arc about the axis 26 so that the cam follower 36 can move during the pivotal movement in the guide slot 38, while a rotation of the intermediate carrier 30 relative to the carrier 24 continues to prevent becomes.

Only when the in 3 and 4 is reached, the cam follower 36 enters a portion of the guide slot 38, which gradually further away from the axis 26. In the further course of the pivoting movement, therefore, an additional pivotal movement of the carrier 30 and the shelf 20 about the axis 32 is enforced.

Fig. 5 shows a slightly later stage of the movement. The carrier 24 has been further pivoted clockwise about the axis 26, and the intermediate carrier 30 has begun with its pivotal movement about the axis 32, also in a clockwise direction. Due to this pivoting movement relative to the carrier 24 runs in Fig. 5 lower edge of the guide slot 44 on the rigidly seated on the carrier 24 curve follower 48, as in Fig. 5 is symbolized by an arrow A. The force exerted thereby by the cam follower 48 on the guide slot 44, which is oriented at right angles to this guide slot, has a component in the direction of the rails 42 and thus forces the beginning of the linear sliding movement of the shelf 20 along the rails. This sliding movement is assisted by the pull applied by the user to the shelf by hand. The pivotal movement of the fitting is superimposed in this way a gradually used extraction movement of the shelf 20.

Fig. 6 shows an even later stage of this movement. The carrier 24 and the intermediate carrier 30 have continued their pivotal movement, and the cam follower 48 has moved a considerable distance in the oblique branch of the guide slot 44, so that according to the shelf 20 with the rails 42 has moved linearly along the guide rails 40.

In Fig. 7 Finally, the end stage of the movement is reached. The carrier 24 has reached its maximum pivoted position in which the axis 32 carrying end is already outside the door opening. Since the intermediate carrier 30 and thus ultimately the shelf 20 is held at the location of the axis 32 by the carrier 24, one achieves a high load capacity of the shelf even in the fully extended position.

The cam follower 36 has reached the end of the guide slot 38, so that the movement of the intermediate carrier 30 has come to a standstill. The seated on the carrier 24 cam follower 48 has reached the end of the guide slot 44 after he has passed a straight, parallel to the rails 42 extending portion of this guide slot. During this phase, only a linear displacement movement of the shelf relative to the intermediate carrier 30 has taken place. Due to the curved course of the guide slot 44, the pivotal movement of the intermediate carrier was gently braked relative to the carrier during the migration of the cam follower 48 through this guide slot, and the superimposed pivoting and sliding movement is blended in a pure displacement movement.

Also, the carrier 24 may be in the in Fig. 7 shown position can not be pivoted about the axis 26, not counterclockwise in Fig. 7 , As long as the cam follower 48 is in the straight, parallel to the rails 42 extending branch of the guide slot 44, the intermediate carrier 30 can not be pivoted relative to the carrier 24 about the axis 32, so that the carrier 24 and the intermediate carrier 30 again like a behave rigid unit. If one tries to pivot this unit about the axis 26, thus the seated on the intermediate carrier cam follower 36 would have to move on a circular path about the axis 26. However, this is prevented by the course of the guide slot 38.

This effect prevents the shelf from abutting the side wall 12 of the carcass even when the tray 20 is subsequently pushed back into the door opening. In the course of the insertion and pivoting movement then the above-described movement phases are forcibly controlled in reverse order, until again the in Fig. 1 and 2 shown state is reached.

In order to make a waste collection system from the above-described combination of fitting 22 and shelf 20, an insert 50 is placed on the shelf 20, which, as in Fig. 8 is shown forming a plurality of shallow hollows 52 having the same or different rectangular layouts.

Fig. 9 shows a waste container 54, which is inserted with a precise fit or with little play in one of the troughs 52. In this way, each of the troughs 52 can receive an associated waste container. The waste containers may differ in height. However, their height is at least four times the depth of the wells 52. Nevertheless, the waste containers are kept stable against tilting in the troughs.

How to get in Fig. 9 recognizes the shelf 20 has the shape of a flat shell with a circumferential raised edge 56. The insert 50 is an injection molding or deep-drawn part that is accurately inserted into this shell.

In the areas of the insert 50, which are not occupied by the troughs 52, non-rectangular troughs 58 are formed, which can serve for the storage of small utensils.

Fig. 10 illustrates a further development in which a coupling rod 62 is hinged to a door 60 of the corner cabinet, the other end hinged to the (in Fig. 10 not visible) carrier 24 is connected. As a result, when opening the door 60, the carrier 24 is automatically pulled into the fully swung-out position. The rails 42 may have rolling bearings, with which the shelf 20 is mounted friction. Since the pivoting movement of the carrier 24 is forcibly coupled to the initial phase of the extension movement of the shelf, the shelf receives so much momentum when opening the door 60 that he continues automatically in the in Fig. 10 shown position extends.

An uprising handle bar makes it easier to push the shelf back by hand before the carrier is automatically returned to its original position when the door is closed.
