1. A sliding-pivoting mechanism for a rack of a piece of furniture or domestic appliance for pulling out and lifting the rack from a carcass of the piece of furniture or domestic appliance, the sliding-pivoting mechanism comprising
at least two pivot arms configured for pivotable fixing to the carcass are arranged parallel to one another and form a parallel guide for a pull-out guide, wherein the pull-out guide comprises at least one guide rail and a running rail displaceable relative to the guide rail and to which the rack is fastened;
a locking mechanism arranged on the guide rail and on one of the at least two pivot arms to prevent simultaneous pivoting and sliding movement of the rack, wherein the locking mechanism comprises a locking pin movably arranged on one of the at least two pivot arms and a locking plate mounted in a positionally fixed manner with respect to the guide rail, wherein the locking plate and the locking pin interact in such a way that a pivoting movement of the at least two pivot arms is blocked when the rack is lifted into an upper loading and unloading position;
an unlocking device coupled to the locking mechanism and having an actuating element and an unlocking element with which the locking pin is moveable from a blocking position into a release position; and
a support device having a guide element arranged on one of the at least two pivot arms and a support element arranged on the rack, wherein the support elements are moveable relative to the guide element and supportable in a support position on the guide element,
wherein the actuating element is a handle, which is tiltable about a horizontal pivot axis and is coupled to the unlocking element via a transmission lever, and
wherein the unlocking element is a wedge arranged on the transmission lever, with which the locking pin can be pressed out of a locking groove of the locking plate along an oblique edge of the wedge.
