Description

[0001] Storage device for insertion into a cupboard

[0002] The invention relates to a storage device for insertion into a cupboard, with a storage unit which comprises a storage surface for placing objects to be stored, and a support part for supporting the storage unit, wherein the support part and the storage unit are connected to one another via a guide arrangement which is designed to cause a positively guided translational movement of the storage unit when the support part is fixed and a force acting on the storage unit leading to a rotational movement of the storage unit, wherein the guide arrangement has a guide track formed on the support part and a guide member formed on the storage unit, and the guide member of the storage unit is guided along the guide track of the support part during a relative movement of the storage unit and the support part.

[0003] The invention further relates to a storage system comprising a cabinet and a storage device which is inserted into the cabinet.

[0004] A fundamental problem with cabinets is that access to the storage space in the upper cabinet areas is limited. When using simple cabinet shelves, users can initially only reach the items stored at the front. Items stored at the rear of a cabinet shelf are often only accessible with the use of aids, such as a step stool, and by partially removing items stored at the front. Even the use of drawers in the upper cabinet areas does not increase comfort.

[0005] To optimize storage space utilization, various solutions are known in the prior art. For example, the document DE 10 2015 005481 B4 discloses a storage system in which a tray with a horizontal support surface is attached to two support arms aligned in a V shape via a pivot joint with a vertical axis of rotation.

[0006] Storage devices that can be attached to existing cabinet or shelf bases are also available on the market. For example, the publication DE 10 2019 118 123 A1 discloses a storage device in which a storage plate is movable relative to a support plate, whereby the storage plate is simultaneously forced to move in a translational manner while performing a rotational movement. The support plate of this storage device can be placed on an existing cabinet or shelf base.

[0007] In practice, the storage systems used in the home are subject to constant change. Due to changing organizational systems or the changing lifestyles of users, storage units should be as universally applicable as possible, so that they can be used in different cabinets, for example.

[0008] The desire for a visually appealing living space design means that users of storage units often want to install new ones when redesigning or redesigning their existing storage system, tailored to the new storage situation. In this context, the new storage units are often adapted to a specific cabinet shape and / or size and therefore require specific kinematics.

[0009] In the known storage devices with a rotationally and translationally movable storage plate, the kinematics can only be changed by inserting a new carrier part, since the carrier part has the guide groove that specifies the movement path.

[0010] The object underlying the invention is therefore to make storage devices with a rotationally and translationally movable storage unit more universally applicable.

[0011] The object is achieved by a storage device of the type mentioned at the outset, wherein the guide arrangement of the storage device according to the invention has a guide track formed on the storage unit and a guide member formed on the carrier part, and the guide member of the carrier part is guided along the guide track of the storage unit during a relative movement of the storage unit and the carrier part.

[0012] The simultaneous rotational and linear movement of the shelf ensures optimal use of storage space. When activated, the guide arrangement moves the shelf unit translationally forward directly away from the rear cabinet wall, effectively preventing collisions between the shelf unit and the rear cabinet wall due to the rotational movement of the shelf unit. The shelf device is extremely versatile, as the support section can be used unchanged with different shelf units. The different storage units can then have different shelf-specific guide tracks, so that the kinematics of the storage unit are tailored to the usage situation, for example, the cabinet dimensions. For example, the kinematics of a storage unit can be adapted to a cabinet with a width of 60 cm thanks to the guide track formed on the storage unit.However, the support part of the storage device can also be used in a wider cabinet, in which case the storage unit, which is then adapted to the wider cabinet, provides new kinematics which are adapted to the different cabinet dimensions.

[0013] The support part of the storage device is preferably designed as a support plate. The storage device is preferably designed for use on a cabinet base of a kitchen cabinet, a refrigerator, or a living room cabinet. The storage device is preferably adapted for use with cabinets with a width of 60 cm or cabinets with a width of more than 60 cm. For example, the storage device can be used above electrical appliances, such as a refrigerator or an oven. The guide arrangement preferably allows a rotational movement of the storage unit through 360°, thus optimizing the accessibility and visibility of the objects placed on the storage unit's surface.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the storage device according to the invention, the guide track formed on the support part is a linear guide track, along which the guide member of the storage unit is guided linearly during a relative movement of the storage unit and the support part. The linear guide track can be formed by a longitudinal groove or a longitudinal slot, wherein the guide member of the storage unit is guided linearly in the longitudinal groove or the longitudinal slot during a relative movement of the storage unit and the support part. The combination of a linear guide track and a guide member guided in the linear guide track leads to a translational forced guidance of the storage unit, whereby the storage unit can be pulled out of the cabinet by executing a rotational movement and can be pushed back into the cabinet by executing a rotational movement.

[0015] In another preferred embodiment, the guide track formed on the storage unit is a circular track which at least partially revolves around the axis of rotation of the storage unit and along which the guide member of the carrier part is guided during a relative movement of the storage unit and carrier part about the axis of rotation of the storage unit. The guide track formed on the storage unit can be a partially or completely circumferential guide groove or guide recess in which the guide member of the carrier part is guided during a relative movement of the storage unit and carrier part. The storage device according to the invention is further advantageously developed in that the guide track formed on the carrier part is designed as a guide groove or guide slot and / or the guide member formed on the storage unit is designed as a guide pin.Preferably, the guide pin of the storage unit has a slightly smaller width than the guide groove or guide slot of the support part, so that the guide pin can be smoothly guided in the guide groove or guide slot. Alternatively or additionally, the guide track formed on the storage unit is designed as a guide groove or guide slot and / or the guide member formed on the support part is designed as a guide pin. Preferably, the guide pin of the support part has a slightly smaller width than the guide groove or guide slot of the storage unit, so that the guide pin can be smoothly guided in the guide groove or guide slot.

[0016] Furthermore, a storage device according to the invention is advantageous in which the guide track formed on the storage unit is completely circumferential. Alternatively or additionally, the guide track formed on the storage unit has a mirror-symmetrical path with respect to a plane of symmetry. Preferably, the guide track formed on the storage unit is designed such that the storage unit executes a rotational movement of 90° or 180° between its translational end positions. Due to the completely circumferential guide track, the storage unit can be rotated endlessly in both directions, i.e., even by more than 360°.

[0017] In a further development of the storage device according to the invention, the guide track formed on the storage unit has one or more track sections which extend along a circular path running coaxially to the rotation axis of the storage unit. The storage unit performs a purely rotary movement and consequently no translational movement, during which the guide member formed on the support part is guided through a track section which extends along the circular path. The guide track formed on the storage unit preferably has one or more track sections which extend beyond, in particular outside, the circular path. The storage unit performs a partially rotary and partially translational movement, during which the guide member formed on the support part is guided through a track section which extends beyond the circular path.

[0018] In a further preferred embodiment of the storage device according to the invention, the storage unit comprises a storage plate and a guide plate. Preferably, the storage plate and the guide plate are connected to each other in a reversible and non-destructively detachable manner. For example, the storage plate is attached to the guide plate via several screws and nuts. The support part and the guide plate can thus be used with different storage plates.

[0019] In a further development of the storage device according to the invention, the guide track of the storage unit and / or the guide member of the storage unit are formed on the guide plate. The storage plate itself therefore performs no guiding function and can be replaced. This enables cost-effective production while simultaneously ensuring universal applicability.

[0020] Furthermore, a storage device according to the invention is preferred in which the storage plate is designed as a multiply folded sheet metal, with the folded sheet metal sections forming longitudinal sections of a railing of the storage plate. The storage plate can be part of a tray with a surrounding railing. The folded sheet metal sections enable a stable and simultaneously visually appealing design of the storage unit.

[0021] The storage device according to the invention is further advantageously developed in that the storage plate comprises a plurality of railing bodies having an arcuate or curved profile, which are preferably non-destructively and reversibly detachably latched to longitudinal sections of the railing of the storage plate. The railing bodies are preferably plastic bodies. The railing bodies are preferably latched in the end regions of the longitudinal railing sections and, in a lower region, accommodate a section of the base plate of the storage plate, so that the storage plate is additionally stabilized. Due to the non-destructively and reversibly detachable latching, the storage plate can be used with different railing bodies, so that the shape and / or appearance of the storage unit can be adapted to the storage situation, in particular to the location of use.

[0022] In another preferred embodiment of the storage device according to the invention, the guide arrangement has, beyond the guide track, an assembly guide formed on the storage unit, wherein the guide arrangement is designed such that the guide member formed on the carrier part for assembly of the storage device is to be guided along the assembly guide of the storage unit, then lifted out of the assembly guide and then inserted into the guide track of the storage unit. The guide arrangement is preferably designed such that the guide member formed on the carrier part for disassembly of the storage device is to be lifted out of the guide track of the storage unit, then inserted into the assembly guide and then guided along the assembly guide of the storage unit. The assembly guide is preferably bent or curved and is located within the guide track formed on the storage unit.The assembly guide preferably runs along a circular path arranged coaxially to the rotation axis of the storage unit.

[0023] In a further preferred embodiment of the storage device according to the invention, the guide member of the storage unit extends through the guide track of the carrier part, which is designed as a guide slot, and a securing element is fastened to a section of the guide member of the storage unit that protrudes from the carrier part. Alternatively, one or more securing elements are molded onto the section of the guide member that protrudes from the carrier part. The securing element fastened to the guide member of the storage unit or the one or more securing elements molded onto the guide member of the storage unit prevent the storage unit from being accidentally lifted off the carrier part. The securing element can, for example, be a cap, in particular a Starlock cap, or a securing ring. The molded-on securing elements can be part of a positive-locking mechanism, for example a bayonet lock.

[0024] In another preferred embodiment of the storage device according to the invention, one or more sliding projections are formed on the support part on the side of the support part facing the storage unit, by means of which the storage unit is movably mounted on the support part. Alternatively or additionally, one or more sliding projections are formed on the side of the storage unit facing the support part, by means of which the storage unit is movably mounted on the support part. Alternatively or additionally, one or more sliding bodies and / or bearing rollers and / or bearing balls are arranged between the storage unit and the support part, by means of which the storage unit is movably mounted on the support part. Due to the movable mounting of the storage unit on the support part, the storage unit can be moved relative to the support part with a low actuating force.

[0025] The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a storage system of the type mentioned above, wherein the storage device of the storage system according to the invention is designed according to one of the embodiments described above. Regarding the advantages and modifications of the storage system according to the invention, reference is first made to the advantages and modifications of the storage device according to the invention. The cabinet of the storage system can be, for example, a kitchen cabinet or a refrigerator.

[0054] Fig. 1 shows a storage system 100 with a cabinet 102 and a storage device 10, which is inserted into the cabinet 102. The cabinet 102 is a tall cabinet which can be used, for example, as kitchen furniture. A built-in electrical appliance 104, namely an oven, is located inside the cabinet. Above the built-in appliance 104, the cabinet 102 has a cabinet base 106. The cabinet base 106 represents the bottom boundary of the cabinet interior 108. The storage device 10 is located on the cabinet base 106. Depending on the application, the storage device 10 can be attached to the cabinet base 106 with additional fastening elements, for example screws.

[0055] The storage device 10 has a storage unit 12, which includes a base 16 for placing objects to be stored. The storage device 10 further has a support part 24 for supporting the storage unit 12. The support part 24 and the storage unit 12 are connected to one another via a guide arrangement. The guide arrangement is configured to cause a positively guided translational movement of the storage unit 12 when the support part 24 is fixed and a force acting on the storage unit 12 leads to a rotational movement of the storage unit 12.

[0056] Fig. 2 shows the storage device 10 in a state in which the storage unit 12 has been moved out of a storage position by a force acting on the storage unit 12. The guidance of the storage unit 12 ensures that the storage unit 12 performs both a translational and a rotational movement when pulled out of the cabinet interior 108. Thus, even the objects stored in a rear area of ​​the storage surface 16 are easily accessible to a user of the cabinet 102.

[0057] Fig. 3 shows the storage plate 14 of a storage unit 12. The storage plate 14 is formed as a multiply folded sheet metal. The folded sheet metal sections form longitudinal sections 18a-18d of a railing surrounding the support surface 16. Furthermore, the storage plate 14 comprises several curved railing bodies 20a-20d, which are non-destructively and reversibly detachably latched to the longitudinal sections 18a-18d of the railing. The railing bodies 20a-20d are plastic bodies and can be replaced with alternative railing bodies of a different shape or color.

[0058] Figs. 4 and 5 show the structure of a storage device 10. The storage unit 12 is designed in several parts and comprises a storage plate 14 and a guide plate 22. The storage plate 14 and the guide plate 22 are connected to one another in a torsionally rigid manner via screws 36 and nuts 38.

[0059] The guide arrangement of the storage device 10 comprises a guide track 30 formed on the guide plate 22 and a guide member 32 formed on the support part 24. The guide member 32 of the support part 24 is guided along the guide track 30 of the storage unit 12 during a relative movement of the storage unit 12 and the support part 24. The guide arrangement further has a guide track 26 formed on the support part 24 and a guide member 28 formed on the storage unit 12. The guide member 28 of the storage unit 12 is guided along the guide track 26 of the support part 24 during a relative movement of the storage unit 12 and the support part 24. The guide track 26 formed on the support part 24 is a linear guide track along which the guide member 28 of the storage unit 12 is guided linearly during a relative movement of the storage unit 12 and the support part 24.The guide track 30 formed on the storage unit 12 is an orbital track encircling a rotational axis of the storage unit 12, along which track the guide member 32 of the support part 24 is guided during a relative movement of the storage unit 12 and the support part 24 about the rotational axis of the storage unit 12. The guide track 26 formed on the support part 24 is designed as a guide slot, and the guide member 28 formed on the storage unit 12 is designed as a guide pin. The guide track 30 formed on the storage unit 12 is designed as a guide groove, and the guide member 32 formed on the support part 24 is designed as a guide pin. The guide track 30 formed on the storage unit 12 is designed to be completely circumferential and has a path that is mirror-symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry.

[0060] The guide member 28 of the storage unit 12 extends through the guide track 26 of the support part 24, which guide slot is formed. A securing element 34 is attached to a section of the guide member 28 of the storage unit 12 that protrudes from the support part 24. The securing element 34 can be a cap, in particular a Starlock cap. The securing element 34 attached to the guide member 28 of the storage unit 12 prevents the storage unit 12 from being accidentally lifted off the support part 24.

[0061] Figs. 6 and 7 show the railing body 20b, wherein the railing body 20b is identical to the railing bodies 20a, 20c, 20d.

[0062] The railing body 20b has a curved basic shape, with a window 44 located between an upper and a lower arched boundary web. At the end sections located outside the window 44, the railing body 20b has locking receptacles 42. Locking projections 40, which are arranged on the outside of the longitudinal sections 18a-18d, can be inserted into the locking receptacles 42 in order to lock the railing body 20b to the bent sheet metal tabs of the storage panel 14 in a non-destructive and reversibly detachable manner.

[0063] Figs. 8 and 9 show the support part 24. The guide track 26 extends along a longitudinal axis, with the guide member 32 arranged on this longitudinal axis. The guide track 26 is designed as a guide slot and is surrounded by a circumferential guide web 46. The support part 24 is designed as a support plate and has a stiffening grid structure on its underside. The support part 24 is designed as a plastic injection-molded part.

[0064] 10 and 11 show the guide plate 22. The guide plate 22 has, on the upper side facing the storage plate 14, a grid structure comprising grid rings 52 to reinforce the guide plate 22. The guide track 30, designed as a guide groove, extends along a guide region 54 of the guide plate 22. The guide track 30 has two track sections 56a, 56b, which extend along a circular path running coaxially to the rotation axis of the storage unit 12. Furthermore, the guide track 30 has two track sections 58a, 58b, which extend beyond, namely outside, the circular path. The track sections 56a, 56b, 58a, 58b form a completely circumferential guide groove. The guide member 28, designed as a guide pin, is completely surrounded by the guide track 30. The opening of the guide track 30, designed as a guide groove, is located on the underside of the guide plate 22 facing the carrier part 24.Also located on this underside are receptacles 48 for receiving the nuts 38, via which the guide plate 22 is connected to the storage plate 14. Furthermore, sliding projections 50 are arranged on the underside of the guide plate 22. The storage unit 12 is movably mounted on the support part 24 via the sliding projections 50.

[0065] Figs. 12 to 17 show the forced movement of the storage unit 12 from the storage position into an extended use position.

[0066] As shown in Fig. 12, the guide member 28 is located in the storage position of the storage unit 12 within a rear end region of the guide track 26. The guide member 32 is located at the level of the plane of symmetry of the guide track 30 centrally in the track section 58a.

[0067] Fig. 13 shows that, when a suitable force is applied to the storage unit 12, the storage unit 12 executes both a translational and a rotational movement. During the execution of the movement, the guide member 28 is guided along the guide track 26, and the guide member 32 is guided along the guide track 30.

[0068] Figs. 14 to 16 show that the storage unit 12 continues both a rotational and a translational movement under continuous force application until the guide member 28 has reached a front end region of the guide track 26 and the guide member 32 has reached the transition region between the track sections 58a, 56a.

[0069] As shown in Fig. 17, if the force continues to be applied, the storage unit 12 then performs a purely rotational movement, which is achieved by guiding the guide member along the track section 56a. After the storage unit 12 has performed a rotation of 90°, the storage unit 12 is maximally extended from the cabinet interior 108. By continuing the rotation of the storage unit 12, the storage unit 12 can be rotated back into the cabinet interior 108. Due to the circumferential guide track 30, the storage unit 12 can be rotated endlessly in both directions. Figs. 18 to 20 show an alternative support part 24 and an alternative guide plate 22.

[0070] As shown in Fig. 18, the support part 24 can have web recesses 60 in the guide web 46. The wing-like securing elements 66a, 66b on the guide member 28 can be guided through the web recesses 60 through the guide track 26 designed as a guide slot.

[0071] As shown in Figs. 19 and 20, the securing elements 66a, 66b are integrally formed on the guide member 28 on the side facing the support part 24. Beyond the guide track 30, the guide arrangement has assembly guides 64a, 64b. The guide arrangement is configured such that the guide member 32 formed on the support part 24 is guided along the assembly guide 64a for assembling the storage device 10, is subsequently lifted out of the assembly guide 64a, and subsequently inserted into the guide track 30 of the storage unit 12. The assembly guides 64a, 64b extend along the guide regions 62a, 62b.

[0072] Figs. 21 to 25 show the assembly process by which the storage unit 12 is connected to the support part 24.

[0073] As shown in Fig. 21, the storage unit 12 and the support part 24 are initially positioned relative to one another such that the wing-shaped securing elements 66a, 66b can be moved through the web recesses 60 through the support part 24. As the securing elements 66a, 66b are moved through the web recesses 60, the guide member 32 of the support part 24 is then inserted into the assembly guide 64a.

[0074] As shown in Fig. 22, the storage unit 12 and the support part 24 can then be rotated relative to each other so that the guide member 32 is moved along the assembly guide 64a in the direction of the guide track 30.

[0075] As shown in Fig. 23, the guide member 32 is then lifted out of the assembly guide 64a and inserted into the guide track 30 formed as a guide groove. Figs. 24 and 25 show that by rotating the storage unit 12 back, the assembly process can be completed and the storage unit 12 can be moved into the storage position.

[0076] Figs. 26 and 27 show a storage system 100 with a cabinet 102, which has a greater width than the cabinet 102 shown in Figs. 1 and 2. For optimal use of storage space, a storage device 10' with a wider storage unit 12' should also be used in conjunction with the cabinet 102 shown in Figs. 26 and 27.

[0077] Figs. 28 and 29 show that the storage plate 14' of the storage unit 12' has a rectangular basic shape. The longitudinal sections 18a', 18c' extend along the narrow sides of the storage plate 14'. The longitudinal sections 18b', 18d' extend along the long sides of the storage plate 14'. The railing, composed of the longitudinal sections 18a'-18d' and the railing bodies 20a-20d, encloses the support surface 16'.

[0078] As shown in Fig. 29, the wider storage plate 14' can also be used in combination with a guide plate 22 and a support part 24, which are also suitable for narrower storage plates.

[0079] Fig. 30 shows that the basic structure of the storage device 10' does not differ from the basic structure of the storage device 10 shown in Fig. 5.
