Abstract

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.
