HARDWARE ARRANGEMENT

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a fitting arrangement with a furniture fitting, in particular a flap holder, with which a furniture flap or a door can be pivotably attached to a furniture body.

[0002] Flap stays are known in various forms in the prior art. For example, a flap stay incorporating a linkage chain is known from DE 10 2014 113 967 B1. The linkage chain serves to adjust a linkage lever to which a flap is pivotally attached. The flap can be pivoted between an open and a closed position by means of the linkage chain.

[0003] Commonly used for flap stays are link chains with five or seven joints. Such link chains can be used within the scope of the invention.

[0004] A holding device with a spring element acts on the linkage chain. This holding device allows the flap to be automatically held in an intermediate position between the open and closed positions. This prevents the flap from falling into the closed position on its own. To ensure this functionality with flaps of varying weights, an adjustment device is provided. This device allows the preload of the spring element to be adjusted.

[0005] Another flap fitting is known from DE 10 2015 117 291 B3.

[0006] The flap stays described above are designed so that the holding devices used within them keep the furniture flap in the closed position and, accordingly, apply a spring-loaded preload to the kinematic mechanism in the closing direction. To open the furniture flap, the user must first overcome this holding force and can then move the flap into the open position. As described above, the holding device balances the weight of the furniture flap during this movement.

[0007] From EP 1 591 608 A1, a fitting arrangement for a door on a piece of furniture is known. The door is pivotally attached to the furniture by a hinge. The hinge has a spring that assists the opening movement of the door. Furthermore, a closing device is provided on the furniture, which, in the closed position of the door, interacts with a hook element provided on the door. In this case, a coupling element of the closing device engages in a recess of the hook element, thereby holding the door in the closed position. By pushing the door open in the closed position, the opening movement of the door can be released.

[0008] A furniture drive for a movable furniture flap is known from WO 2012 / 155165 A2. The furniture drive has a locking device that locks the furniture drive in the closed position of the furniture flap. A retaining lug of the locking device rests against a locking pin on an ejection lever of the furniture drive, thereby locking it. By pushing the furniture flap in the closing direction, the retaining lug can be moved, thereby unlocking the ejection lever of the furniture drive and allowing it to open.

[0009] A furniture hinge for furniture doors with a spring-loaded opening mechanism is known from DE 201 22 827 U1.

[0010] The object of the invention is to provide a fitting arrangement with which, in particular, a furniture flap can be opened conveniently.

[0011] This problem of the invention is solved by the features of claim 1.

[0012] Accordingly, a locking mechanism and a retaining bracket are provided, enabling the furniture flap to be connected to the furniture body in a force-fit and / or form-fit position within the kinematic arrangement of the furniture fitting. In the closed position, the furniture flap is reliably held in its predetermined closed position and therefore cannot be easily opened. According to the invention, a spring element is provided which, in the closed position of the kinematic arrangement, introduces a preload into the kinematic arrangement in the opening direction. In contrast to the prior art, the spring element introduces a preload into the kinematic arrangement in the closed position, which attempts to move the furniture flap into the open position. However, this does not succeed, as the furniture flap is held by the locking mechanism and the retaining bracket.If the user wishes to open the furniture flap, a release mechanism is provided according to the invention, formed by the lock and the bracket. The operator can activate this release mechanism and thus release the blockage between the lock and the bracket. Once this blockage is released, the spring element pushes the kinematic arrangement, so that the furniture flap is automatically moved into a partially or fully open position.

[0013] This type of operation for a furniture flap is particularly easy to perform with a handleless furniture front and allows the user a comfortable opening process.

[0014] Furthermore, it is provided that at least part of the joints and the lever form a linkage chain, which has at least one, preferably two, fixed joints whose position remains unchanged when the linkage chain is adjusted, wherein the linkage chain has a fastening lever that is directly or indirectly connected to the door or flap. As mentioned above, the linkage chain can, in particular, be a 5-joint chain or a 7-joint chain. The linkage chain serves to guide the opening and closing process of the furniture flap or door.

[0015] Furthermore, an adjustment device is provided, with which the force application point of a holding device in a position of the articulated chain can be changed by means of an adjustment element. Preferably, the adjustment device can be accessed at the opening point of the door or flap, so that a convenient adjustment process is possible with the door or flap installed.

[0016] In this invention, the furniture fitting includes a holding device, the holding device acting on the linkage chain with at least one additional spring element, and the spring element, in the closed position or in a partially open position of the kinematic arrangement, introduces an additional spring force into the kinematic arrangement in the opening direction, the spring force being effective in at least a portion of the opening movement of the kinematic arrangement. This additional spring element can, for example, balance the weight of the furniture flap, allowing the spring element according to the invention to effectively exert its effect in the direction of the opening movement. It is particularly preferred that the spring force of the additional opening element can be varied by means of an actuator, so that varying forces can be set in the closed position of the kinematic arrangement.

[0017] A preferred embodiment of the invention is such that an actuating element is used which is designed in the form of a lever and which is pivotably mounted about a stationary 9th joint, wherein a first actuating lever is preferably pivotably mounted on or in the region of the 9th joint, and this first pivoting lever carries the spring element. This results in a simple and compact furniture fitting. In particular, with this arrangement, the aforementioned holding device can be positioned behind the linkage chain in the direction from the front of the furniture fitting facing the furniture flap or door to the rear, resulting in a low overall height.

[0018] A fitting arrangement according to the invention can further be characterized in that an actuating arrangement is preferably provided on the furniture fitting, wherein the actuating arrangement has a tension spring, and that the tension spring in the closing position of the kinematic arrangement introduces a tension force in the opening direction of the kinematic arrangement into the kinematic arrangement.

[0019] This design also allows the opening movement to be assisted by the tension spring. For example, it can be provided that the spring element specified in claim 1 is initially activated during opening, and that simultaneously or after a certain opening distance, the tension spring is activated to assist further opening.

[0020] In this context, it can also be provided that the actuating arrangement includes an actuating element which is pre-tensioned in the closed position of the kinematic arrangement by means of the tension spring and which is supported by a stop against a counter-stop in the closed position of the kinematic arrangement, wherein the counter-stop is preferably associated with the actuating element, and particularly preferably attached to it, and that the stop bears against the counter-stop over a portion of the opening travel of the kinematic arrangement. The stop connection ensures that the actuating element is only in contact with the actuating element over a portion of the opening travel.

[0021] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the locking mechanism may have a bolt which is pivotably mounted on the locking mechanism with a bearing between a release position and a locking position, and the bolt may have a driver receptacle which locks a locking section of the holder in the locking position and releases it in the unlocking position.

[0022] The locking mechanism is particularly easy to design and has a reliable working mechanism if a locking pawl is provided on the locking mechanism, and the locking pawl has a locking element which is designed to interact with a guide of the locking mechanism in such a way that the bolt is positively locked in its locking position.

[0023] For reliable power transmission, the locking pawl may be designed to have a lever that is pivotally attached to the bolt around a pivot bearing.

[0024] The locking mechanism is easily releasable if it is provided that, when the bolt is adjusted from a park position of the guide in which the locking pawl is positively locked against the locking mechanism in the direction of the opening movement of the bolt, the locking pawl can be adjusted against the opening movement to an overtravel position in which the positive locking block is released, and that the locking piece is then adjusted in the guide and the bolt is moved into its unlocking position.

[0025] If the bolt is designed to be spring-loaded in its locking position and / or its unlocking position, then the spring can reliably maintain both operating positions.

[0026] To prevent damage to the fitting assembly in case of incorrect operation, it may be provided that the fastening assembly carries a retaining element which is adjustable relative to the fastening assembly, that the retaining element has a detent element, that the detent element is held in a detent receptacle of the fastening assembly in a first operating position, and that the detent element is released from the detent receptacle in a second operating position.

[0027] It is particularly advantageous for the furniture fitting to consist of separate components: the locking mechanism and the mounting bracket. This creates a kit with the fitting assembly. For example, the locking mechanism and mounting bracket can then be combined with any furniture fittings for doors or flaps of varying sizes. This also simplifies installation on furniture.

[0028] The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment illustrated in the drawings. The drawings show: Figure 1 shows a flap stay as a furniture fitting in perspective; Figure 2 shows the flap stay according to Figure 1 in a modified perspective view and with the cover removed, Figure 3 the representation according to Figure 2 , with the housing of the flap holder open, Figure 4 the flap holder according to the Figures 1 to 3 View from behind, Figure 5, one of the Figure 3 Detailed view taken from the area where a mounting piece has been removed, Figures 6 and 7, the mounting piece according to Figure 4Figures 8 and 9 show an actuating element in different views; Figures 10 and 11 show the flap holder in different operating positions; Figure 12 shows an actuating arrangement of the flap holder in exploded view; Figures 13 and 14 show perspective detail views of the kinematic arrangement of the flap holder; Figure 15 shows a locking mechanism in a perspective view from the front; Figure 16 shows the locking mechanism according to Figure 15 in perspective view from behind, Figure 17 the locking mechanism in view according to Figure 16 , wherein a cover has been removed from the locking mechanism, Figures 18 and 19 a locking latch in different views, Figures 20 and 21 a bolt in different views, Figure 22 a fastening arrangement in perspective view, Figures 23 and 24 a mounting element in different views and Figure 25 a furniture carcass in side view and the mounting piece according to the Figures 6 and 7 .

[0029] Figure 1Figure 10 shows a flap stay. This serves to attach a furniture flap with a horizontal pivot axis to a furniture carcass 110 (see, for example, Figure 10). Figure 12 ) to attach. For this purpose, 110 furniture fittings 10 are usually attached to opposite sides of the furniture carcass, to which the furniture flap to be moved is attached.

[0030] The furniture fitting 10 has a housing 50. A kinematic assembly 30 is housed within this housing 50. The kinematic assembly 30 comprises a multi-axis, so-called joint chain. Accordingly, the kinematic assembly 30 is formed by several levers that are connected to each other via joints.

[0031] A fastening lever 31 is provided on the kinematic arrangement 30. This lever allows the furniture fitting 10 to be connected to the furniture flap (not shown).

[0032] The housing 50 is covered by a cover 20. The cover 20 has a front wall 21. Side walls 22 are attached to the sides of the front wall 21.

[0033] Furthermore, a cover element 23 can be used, which covers the area between two levers, in the present embodiment an area formed between a 1st and a 2nd deflection lever 33, 34 of the kinematic arrangement 30. In this way, a safety barrier is provided, which prevents a finger from being pinched in the area between the two levers during intended movement of the kinematic arrangement 30.

[0034] Figure 2 and 3 They show the structure of the kinematic arrangement 30 more clearly. In particular, how Figure 3As shown, the kinematic arrangement 30, following the fastening lever 31, comprises two deflection levers 33 and 34. The first deflection lever 33 can be connected to the fastening lever 31 via a first joint 32.1. The second deflection lever 34 is also connected to the fastening lever 31 via a second joint 32.2. According to the present embodiment, the fastening lever 31 may have a projection 32 to which the two deflection levers 33 and 34 are attached via the first and second joints 32.1 and 32.2, respectively. On the side facing away from the fastening lever 31, the two deflection levers 33 and 34 are attached to a connecting element 36, which is also in the form of a lever. Accordingly, the 1st deflection lever 33 is pivotally mounted on the connecting element 36 via a 3rd joint 33.1 and the 2nd deflection lever 34 via a 5th joint 34.2. Figure 3This clearly shows that a articulated lever 35 is also provided. The articulated lever 35 is connected to the articulated lever 35 via a 4th joint 34.1. At its end facing away from the 2nd deflection lever 34, the articulated lever 35 is fastened to a mounting section 51 of the housing 50 via a 6th joint 35.1.

[0035] The connecting element 36 carries an adjusting arrangement 70. This allows the force of a damper 71 acting on the kinematic arrangement 30 to be adjusted, as will be explained in more detail later.

[0036] The connecting element 36 has a 7th and an 8th joint 36.1, 36.2. The 7th joint 36.1 is fixedly connected to the fastening section 51, so that the connecting element 36 can be pivoted about the pivot point defined by the 7th joint 36.1.

[0037] In the area of ​​the 7th joint 36.1, the connecting element 36 has two mounting positions 36.3 and 36.4. At the user's request, the actuating element 38 can be pivotally attached to either of these two mounting positions 36.3 or 36.4. The selected mounting position depends on the desired operating mode, which will be explained in more detail later. An actuating lever 39 is pivotally attached to the 8th joint 36.2. The actuating lever 39 and the actuating element 38 are each coupled to an actuator 37 via a 9th joint 38.1 and a 10th joint 39.1, respectively. The 6th, 7th, and 9th joints 35.1, 36.1, and 38.1 are fixedly connected to the mounting section 51, and the levers 35, 36, and 37 articulated to them can be pivoted about them.

[0038] The holding device 40 can be coupled to the actuator 37. The holding device 40 comprises a spring receptacle 44, which is designed like a housing and accommodates one or more spring elements 43. In this case, the spring elements 43 are capable of withstanding compressive stress. The spring elements 43 are supported at one end by the spring receptacle 44. The spring elements 43 are pushed onto support elements 45, and at their other end they are supported by a connecting element 41, to which the support elements 45 are fastened. The connecting element 41 has a pivot bearing 41.1. A pivot lever 42 is coupled to this pivot bearing 41.1, which, like the actuating lever 39, is coupled to the 10th joint 39.1.

[0039] The kinematic arrangement 30 is arranged between two mounting sections 51, 53, wherein the two mounting sections 51, 53 can be essentially mirror-symmetrical. Figure 2The two mounting sections 51, 53, which are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart, are visible. Each of the mounting sections 51, 53 has an outer and an inner side. The inner sides of the two mounting sections 51, 53 face each other. The outer sides of the mounting sections 51, 53 form the outer sides of the housing 50. The fixed joints 35.1, 36.1 and 38.1 are connected to both mounting sections 51, 53.

[0040] How Figure 2As can be seen, the mounting section 53 is marked with an L. This indicates to the user that mounting section 53 can be used for left-side installation in a furniture carcass. The opposite mounting section 51 is accordingly marked with an R, indicating right-side installation. The furniture fitting can therefore be used for either left- or right-side installation. This is why the two mounting sections 51 and 53 can be essentially identical and mirror-symmetrical.

[0041] The following explanations refer to fastening section 51. The same explanations apply analogously to fastening section 53.

[0042] As the Figures 2 and 3As can be seen, the fastening section 51 can be manufactured as a stamped and bent part from a sheet metal blank. The fastening section 51 has a support section 52. This support section 52 is formed by the edge of a recess 54 or an opening that is cut out of the fastening section 51. Fixing elements 55 are punched out of the fastening section 51 and bent outwards towards the outside of the housing. As the drawings show, the fixing elements 55 can, for example, be designed as flap-shaped projections. The fastening section 51 can also have a profiled alignment section 56, which can be designed in particular as an embossing or a bend.

[0043] At the longitudinal ends of the fastening section 51, openings are provided that form guide receptacles 57. These guide receptacles 57 are designed as slots whose slot width continuously tapers. How Figure 2 As shown, for example, the slot width of the guide receptacle 57 tapers from the one in the fastening section 51. Figure 2 left side towards the right side of the furniture fitting 10.

[0044] How Figure 3 As can be clearly seen, the kinematic assembly 30 is attached to the mounting section 51. Simultaneously, the kinematic assembly 30 is also attached to the second mounting section 53. For this purpose, the 6th joint 35.1, the 7th joint 36.1, and the 10th joint 38.1 are connected to both mounting sections 51 and 53, as already mentioned above.

[0045] The holding device 40 is also connected to both mounting sections 51, 53 in the area of ​​its pivot bearing 46. In this way, the two mounting sections 51, 53 are also coupled to each other, with the kinematic arrangement 30 being accommodated at least partially between the two mounting sections 51, 53 in the housing 50.

[0046] How Figure 4 As shown, a mounting piece 80 can be optionally connected to either of the two mounting sections 51, 53. In the present embodiment, the mounting piece 80 is connected to the first mounting section 51 for right-side mounting. Naturally, the mounting piece 80 can also be connected to the opposite second mounting section 53 for left-side mounting if it is rotated by 180°. The following explanations therefore apply analogously to both mounting sections 51, 53.

[0047] In the Figures 6 and 7The assembly piece 80 is described in more detail below. As these drawings show, the assembly piece 80 can be manufactured as a stamped and bent part from a steel sheet blank.

[0048] The mounting piece 80 has a fitting side 81 and a furniture mounting side 81.3. The mounting piece 80 has an alignment element 81.1, which is designed in the form of an inclined body edge. The inclination runs in Figure 6 From left to right, as the drawing clearly shows. Opposite the alignment element 81.1, a mounting section 81.2 is provided. The mounting section 81.2 is formed by protrusions on opposite sides of the mounting piece 80.

[0049] The mounting piece 80 is penetrated by screw receptacles 82, 83.

[0050] The mounting piece 80 has a retaining section 84. According to the present embodiment, the retaining section 84 is shaped as a projection, resulting in a bearing surface 84.1 that rises above the adjoining areas of the furniture mounting side 81.3.

[0051] A bearing receptacle 84.2 is provided in the bearing surface 84.1. This receptacle is formed in the form of a bore. Above the bearing receptacle 84.2 is a stop 84.3. This stop can be in the form of an indentation, preferably a knob-shaped protrusion from the sheet metal blank.

[0052] The stopping section 84 is marked with left and right markings 84.4 and 84.5.

[0053] The Figures 6 and 7This further indicates that counter elements 85 are provided on the mounting piece 80. The counter elements 85 can be designed as tabs that are punched out of the sheet metal blank and pressed out in the direction of the furniture mounting side 81.3.

[0054] The counter elements 85 have a retaining section 85.2. This section is integrally connected to the sheet metal blank at both of its longitudinal ends via bends 85.1. A socket for the fixing element 55 is formed in the area between the bends 85.1 and the retaining section 85.2.

[0055] The mounting piece 80 is provided with spacers 86. These spacers 86 protrude beyond the furniture mounting side 81.3. As the drawings illustrate, the spacers 86 can be designed in the form of knob-like projections.

[0056] Figure 6Figure 1 further illustrates that the mounting piece has two projections 88. These projections 88 can also be formed integrally with the mounting piece 80 and thus bent out of the sheet metal material in a single forming step. It is also conceivable that, as in the present embodiment, the projections 88 are designed as separate components that are riveted to the mounting piece 80.

[0057] Finally, the mounting piece 80 also has openings 89 in the form of bores. The function of these openings 89 will be discussed below with reference to Figure 12 discussed in more detail.

[0058] To mount the furniture fitting 10, the mounting piece 80 is first placed with its furniture mounting side 81.3 on a wall of a furniture carcass 110 to which the furniture fitting 10 is to be attached. Then, mounting screws 90, 91, which are located in Figure 4shown, pushed through the screw receptacles 82, 83 and screwed into the wall of the furniture body 110.

[0059] How Figure 4 As can be seen, the fixing screws 90 can be designed to be screwed into pre-drilled blind holes of a system perforation. The two fixing screws 91 serve for additional securing and can be designed as self-tapping screws that can be screwed into the wall. Of course, self-tapping screws can also be used instead of the fixing screws 90.

[0060] After the mounting piece 80 has been connected to the furniture carcass, the adjusting element 60 is rotated into a prepared starting position according to the desired stop type. Thus, if, as in the present example, the furniture fitting 10 is installed with its mounting side 51, i.e., a right-hand stop is to be achieved, the adjusting element 60 is rotated in the bearing receptacle 84.2 so that the eccentrically arranged part of the operating element 61 covers the left marking 84.4 and the right-hand marking 84.3 is visible. This signals to the user that the correct stop type has been set.

[0061] Now the remaining part of the furniture fitting 10 can be attached to the fitting side 81 of the mounting piece 80 using the appropriate fastening section 51, 53 for the respective stop type (right or left stop). This is done as described in Figure 2As shown, the remaining fitting part is placed onto the mounting piece 80, with the projections 88 engaging in the guide receptacles 57. The projections 88 are located in the area of ​​the widened ends of the guide receptacles 57. Accordingly, the fixing elements 55 are arranged in front of the counter elements 85.

[0062] The mounting section 51 rests on the spacers 86 at its ends. Now the adjusting element 60 can be rotated. For this purpose, a screwdriver is inserted through the recess 54 in the opposite mounting piece 53 so that the screwdriver engages in the tool holder 62 of the operating unit 61. The screwdriver can then be inserted into the Figure 2The control element 61 is rotated clockwise in the position shown. During this rotation, the cylindrical outer circumference of the control element 61 rolls along the edge that defines the recess 54 and forms the support section 52. As a result of this movement, the fastening section 51 is moved relative to the mounting piece 80. Figure 2 from right to left. As a result of this sliding movement, the fixing elements 55 are pushed behind the retaining sections 85.2 of the counter elements 85, forming a positive-locking and releasable connection transverse to the furniture fastening side 81.3.

[0063] During this movement, the projections 87 in the guide receptacles 57 are also displaced. Since the guide receptacles 57 are designed as tapered slots, the fastening section 51 is aligned vertically with the mounting piece 80.

[0064] Additionally or alternatively, it can also be provided that during movement the alignment element 81.1 runs up against the alignment section 56, thereby also enabling precise alignment. The sliding movement is limited by the stop 84.3. When the actuating element 60 has been rotated until the operating part 61 abuts the stop 84.3, the mounting position has been reached. The mounting position is in Figure 4 illustrated.

[0065] The positioning of the operating element 61 relative to the stop 84.3 should preferably be such that a self-locking mechanism is created. In the present embodiment, for example, the operating element 61 is rotated so that the contact point between the operating element 61 and the support section 52 lies on the horizontal line intersecting the axis of rotation of the bearing pin 63, or is located in the area between this line and the stop 84.3. Then, if a force is applied to the furniture fitting 10 contrary to the mounting direction described above, the connection between the mounting piece 80 and the associated fastening section 51 cannot be automatically released.

[0066] To disassemble, simply insert a screwdriver through the recess 54 in the mounting section 53 and into the tool holder 62 of the operating unit 61. Then, rotate the adjusting element 60 counterclockwise. This disengages the locking elements 55 and the counter elements 85, so that the mounting section 51 is no longer engaged.

[0067] In the Figures 8 and 9The actuator 60 is shown in more detail. As this illustration further demonstrates, the actuator 60 has a cylindrical operating part 61, which has a tool holder 62. The bearing pin 63 is eccentrically attached to the operating part 61. An indicator 64 is also attached to the operating part 60. This allows the user to determine whether the actuator 60 is in the open or closed position. For captive fastening of the actuator 60, the bearing pin 63 can, for example, be inserted into the bearing receptacle 84.2. The bearing pin 63 can then be crimped at its end.

[0068] The Figures 10 and 11 Figure 1 shows the flap holder according to the invention and previously described in a representation rotated by 180°, wherein the mounting section 51 of the housing 50 is removed and the assignment of the kinematic arrangement 30 to the mounting section 53 is shown. In the representation according to the Figures 10 and 11Different pivot positions on the way between the open and closed positions are shown.

[0069] From the Figures 10 and 11 It becomes clear that the actuating element 38, which is effective between the connecting element 36 and the actuator 37, has a spring element 38.2. This spring element 38.2 is clamped between two components of the actuating element 38, so that it exerts a compressive force that spreads the actuating element 38 between the 9th joint 38.1 and the selected mounting position 36.3, 36.4, thus clamping them against each other.

[0070] In Figure 10 The actuating element 38 is articulatedly connected to the mounting position 36.3. How Figure 10 As can be seen, the assembly position 36.3 is arranged at least on a partial movement path between the closed position and the open position below a horizontal line that runs through the pivot point of the stationary 7th joint 36.1.

[0071] In the closed position of the furniture fitting 10, the spring element 38.2 exerts a compressive force on the connecting element 36. Since the mounting position 36.3 is located below the connecting line, a Figure 10 A counterclockwise rotating torque with a lever arm corresponding to the distance between the mounting position 36.3 and the connecting line. This torque causes the furniture fitting 10 to open from the closed position. In this operating mode, a locking mechanism may be provided, which is exemplified in the Figures 15 to 22 This is shown and will be explained in detail later. This locking mechanism holds the flap or door in the closed position.

[0072] When the user unlocks the installation mechanism, the furniture fitting opens automatically, at least to part of its opening path, due to the tension force of the spring element 38.2. In the present embodiment, the spring element 38.2 causes the opening to extend to the point described in Figure 11 shown partial opening position.

[0073] The locking mechanism described above will now be explained using the following: Figures 15 to 22 explained in more detail.

[0074] How Figure 1As shown, the locking mechanism has a lock 200. This lock 200 has a locking housing 210. The locking housing 210 comprises a cover wall 211. Side walls 212 rise laterally from the cover wall 211. In its upper area, the locking housing 210 has a recess 214. A ruler 240 and, partially, a locking pawl 230, which is connected to the ruler 240, protrude through this recess 214.

[0075] How Figure 16 As can be seen, a cover 217 is attached to the rear of the locking housing 210. Projecting projections 218 are formed or attached to the cover 217. Furthermore, the cover 217 has a screw receptacle 219, which is aligned with a screw receptacle 213 of the locking housing 210.

[0076] In Figure 17The open locking housing 210 is shown, with the cover 217 removed. As this illustration shows, the locking housing 210 has a support 215. The cover 217 can be supported on this support at its edge.

[0077] The locking housing 210 further comprises a locking section 220. This locking section 220 is equipped with a guide 221. The guide 221, together with the pawl 230, forms an overtravel mechanism.

[0078] The guide 221 has an opening 221.1. A transition section 221.2 adjoins this opening 221.1. The transition section 221.2 transitions into a deflection section 221.3. The deflection section 221.3 is formed on one side by a deflecting element 222, which, like the remaining areas that laterally delimit the guide 221, is preferably integral with the locking housing 210. Following the deflection section 221.3, the guide 221 forms a first stop 221.4. A second stop 221.6 is also provided spaced apart from the first stop 221.4. A parking position 221.5 of the guide 221 is provided between the first and second stops 221.4 and 221.6. This parking position 221.5 is preferably formed by a parking section 222.2. A return section 221.7 follows the second stop 221.6. This return section 221.7 transitions into a deflection section 221.8, which in turn transitions into the transition section 221.2.

[0079] As described above, the locking pawl 230 works in conjunction with the guide 221.

[0080] The locking pawl 230 is in the Figures 18 and 19 shown more clearly. As this illustration demonstrates, the pawl 230 has a lever 232. The lever 232 carries a pivot bearing 231 and, at the opposite end, a locking piece 233. Figure 19 This shows that a bearing surface 235 is formed in the area around the pivot bearing 231. Furthermore, integrally molded ribs 234 are provided, which stiffen the lever 232.

[0081] The shape of the bar 240 can be further determined from the Figures 20 and 21 As these drawings illustrate, the bolt 240 has a base body 241. This base body 241 is equipped with a bearing receptacle 242. Furthermore, the base body 241 has a pawl bearing 248 spaced apart from the bearing receptacle 242.

[0082] A projection 245 is connected to the base body 241. This projection 245 defines a drive receptacle 246. The drive receptacle 246 is further defined by or connected to a deflection section 247.

[0083] How Figure 20 As shown, the bolt 240 has a spring receptacle 244, which, as for example in Figure 20 shown in the area of ​​the bearing receptacle 242, which can be arranged. A clearance 243 is also provided in the area of ​​this spring receptacle 244.

[0084] In Figure 21 The bolt 240 is shown in a rear view. As this illustration shows, both the bearing receptacle 242 and the pawl bearing are designed as through bores. A mating surface 249 is provided around the pawl bearing 248.

[0085] For mounting the bolt 240 in the locking housing 210, a bearing piece 216 is provided in the locking housing 210. This bearing piece 216 can be formed integrally with the locking housing 210 in the form of a bearing pin. Before mounting the bolt 240, a spring 250 is connected to it, which is Figure 17 The figure is shown partly in dashed and partly in solid lines. The spring 250 can, for example, be designed as a torsion spring and has two spring arms 251, 253. The spring arms 251, 253 are connected to each other via a clamping section 252.

[0086] The spring 250 is inserted into the spring receptacle 244 with its spring arm 253. The clamping section 252 is, as shown, Figure 17Illustrated as a ring-shaped curved section, it fits into the space formed by the bearing receptacle 242. The area surrounded by the ring-shaped curved section of the spring 250 is aligned with the bearing receptacle 242. The second spring arm 251 is supported, as Figure 17 shows in the transition area between the top wall 211 and a side wall 212.

[0087] The spring 250 is inserted into the bolt 240, with the spring arm 251 extending from the clearance 243. The bolt 240 is then slid onto the bearing piece 216. The spring 250 then comes into its Figure 17 to lie in the position shown, assuming a preloaded state. Due to this spring preload, the bolt 240 is in the position shown. Figure 17The pawl 230 is held in the shown pre-tensioned position. The pawl can then be connected to the bolt 240. For this purpose, the pivot bearing 231 of the pawl 230 is inserted into the pawl bearing 248. The insertion movement is limited by the bearing surface 235 of the pawl 230, which comes to rest against the opposing surface 249 of the bolt 240.

[0088] Once all the components have been inserted into the locking housing 210, the cover 217 can be placed on top and, for example, locked to the locking housing 210.

[0089] In the Figure 17 In the position shown, the bolt 240 is in its home position. If, according to rule 240, Figure 17When the locking mechanism is pivoted counterclockwise, this occurs against the preload of the spring 250. Due to this pivoting, the pawl 230, with its locking piece 233, engages in the guide 221. The locking piece 233 passes through the opening 221.1 of the guide 221 into the transition section 221.2. The locking piece 233 then encounters the deflection ramp 222.1 of the deflection body 222 and slides along the deflection section 221.3 until it reaches the area of ​​the first stop 221.4. When the latch 240 is now released, the locking piece 233 moves against the deflection body 222 and enters the park position 221.5. This is the position in which the furniture flap is closed. If an operator now applies an overtravel force to the furniture flap, the locking piece 233 moves into the area of ​​the second stop 221.6. If the furniture flap is then released, the first actuating lever 38 presses with its spring element 38.2 the kinematic arrangement 30 into a partially open position, as explained above. The locking piece 233 then moves out of the position of the second stop 221.6 and travels back via the return path 221.7 into the transition section 221.2 until it stops again in the area of ​​the opening 221.1 and the [unclear text] Figure 17 The indicated position has been reached. This position is secured with a stop. For example, as shown Figure 17 The figure shows that the bolt 240 strikes the right side wall 212 of the locking housing 210. In this position, the furniture flap is also released and can be moved automatically by the first actuating lever 38 towards the open position.

[0090] To connect the furniture flap to the locking mechanism 200, the following can be used: Figure 22The bracket 300 shown can be used. The bracket 300 has a mounting assembly 310 with a mounting plate 311. The mounting plate 311 can be equipped with one or more mounting receptacles 312. The mounting assembly 310 has a bearing section 313, which is penetrated by a bearing receptacle. Furthermore, a locking element 314 is provided on the mounting assembly 310. The locking element 314 has a spring element 316. The locking element 314 also forms a detent receptacle 315.

[0091] A retaining element 321 is mounted on the fastening assembly 310. For this purpose, the retaining element 321 has a bearing projection 322. This bearing projection 322 is pivotally connected to the bearing section 313 of the fastening assembly 310. At its end facing away from the bearing projection 322, the retaining element 321 has a locking element 323. Furthermore, a locking section 324 is provided on the retaining element 321.

[0092] In a Figure 22 In the locking position shown, the locking element 323 is engaged with the locking receptacle 316.

[0093] The bracket 300 can be attached to the inside of the furniture flap. For this purpose, mounting screws are inserted through the mounting receptacles 312 and screwed into the back of the furniture flap. In the closed position, the bracket 33 is positioned against a side wall of the furniture carcass. The locking section 324 is oriented towards the side wall. The locking mechanism 200, as shown in the Figures 15 to 21The locking mechanism 200 is shown in the diagram. For this purpose, the side that carries the cover 217 is placed against the inside of the vertical side wall of the furniture carcass. If the projections 218 are used, they are inserted into a system hole that is located on the inside of the side wall. This ensures that the locking mechanism 200 is precisely aligned with the furniture carcass. To secure the locking mechanism 200, a fastening screw is inserted through the aligned screw receptacles 213 and 219 and screwed into the side wall of the furniture carcass.

[0094] The locking mechanism 200 functions as follows. When the furniture flap is moved from the open position towards the closed position, the locking section 324 of the bracket 300 engages the deflection section 247. As the closing movement continues, the bolt 240 is pivoted into its closed position, as described above (according to Figure 17 counterclockwise. When the closed position is reached, the locking piece 233 is in the parked position 221.5. The furniture flap is now securely locked in the locked position, with the kinematic assembly 30, together with the spring element 38.2 of the first actuating lever 38, applying a preload in the opening direction to the furniture flap via the kinematic assembly 30. After applying a certain amount of overtravel to the furniture flap, it can be unlocked as described above.

[0095] If a user does not apply the intended overtravel but pulls directly on the furniture flap, the release mechanism of the bracket 300, which consists of the locking element 323 and the locking receptacle 315, protects the furniture fitting from damage. In this case, the spring element 315 deflects and releases the locking element 323. The furniture flap can now be swung open freely.

[0096] When the furniture flap is closed again, the locking section 324 moves outside the drive receptacle 246 onto the deflection section 247. It is then deflected and placed into the drive receptacle 246, and simultaneously the detent element 323 is moved into the detent receptacle 315 until it engages. The proper closed position is then restored.

[0097] As already indicated above, the connecting element 36 can be used to connect the actuating arrangement 70. The actuating arrangement 70 is in Figure 12 As shown in this drawing, the actuating arrangement 70 has an actuating element 72. This can, for example, be cap-shaped, as shown. Figure 12 Illustrated. The actuator 72 has a receiving part 72.1 into which a receptacle 72.2 is inserted. The receptacle 72.2 is open on one side and a stop 72.4 is located on the other side of the receptacle 72.2. How Figure 12 As can be further seen, a locking piece 72.3 may be present on the actuator 72.

[0098] A damper 71 can be inserted into the receptacle 72.2 of the actuator 72. The damper 71 can be designed as a fluid damper, for example, as an air or oil damper. It has a cylinder 71.1 in which a piston is adjustable. A piston rod 71.2 is connected to the piston. The damper 71 is inserted into the receptacle 72.2 such that its end opposite the piston rod 71.2 rests against the stop 72.4. Accordingly, the stop 72.4 limits the insertion movement of the damper 71 into the receptacle 72.2.

[0099] The actuating arrangement 70 further comprises a holder 73. The holder 73 is cap-shaped and has an open end on one side and a base 73.3 on the opposite side. The holder 73 encloses a receptacle with a support element 73.1, which may be designed similarly to the receptacle 72.2 of the actuating element 72. The support element 73.1 is equipped with a handle 73.2.

[0100] How Figure 12 As further shown, a fastening piece 73.4 can be provided on the holder 73, which may have two spaced-apart legs. The fastening piece 73.4 forms a snap-in receptacle 73.5.

[0101] The holder 73 has at least one retaining element 73.6. In the present embodiment, retaining elements 73.6 are provided on opposite sides of the support part 73.1. Furthermore, a marking 73.7 may be provided, which in the present embodiment is arranged in the area of ​​the retaining elements 73.6.

[0102] To assemble the positioning device 70, the holder 73 is connected to the actuator 72. For this purpose, the receiving part 72.1 is inserted into the receptacle surrounded by the support part 73.1, specifically in Figure 12 in the assembly direction from left to right. A sliding guide is formed between the outer contour of the receiving part 72.1 and the inner contour of the pressure part 73.1. This allows linear adjustment of the actuator 72 relative to the holder 73.

[0103] In the assembled state, the piston rod 71.2 is supported at its end against the base 73.3. Therefore, when the actuator 72 is linearly inserted into the support element 73, this occurs against the damping force of the damper 71, whereby the piston rod 71.2 is inserted into the cylinder 71.1. The actuator 72 is captive to the holder 73 in its maximum extension position by means of the locking piece 72.3. Accordingly, in the assembled position, the locking piece 72.3 abuts a stop in the receptacle of the holder 73.

[0104] As the Figures 10 and 11 As can be seen, the connecting element 36 has a guide 36.6. The guide 36.6 is formed as a slot-shaped recess in the connecting element 36. A counter-locking element 36.5 is arranged in the guide 36.6. This counter-locking element 36.5 is formed, for example, by a cylindrical pin.

[0105] To mount the actuating arrangement on the connecting element 36, the actuating arrangement 70 is attached to the connecting element 36 in such a way that the counter-locking element 36.5 locks into the locking receptacle 73.5.

[0106] In the Figures 10 and 11 It can be seen that the connecting element 36 has locking pieces 36.7. Several locking pieces 36.7 are provided, which are preferably spaced apart from each other at equal intervals.

[0107] In the present embodiment, the blocking pieces 36.7 are recessed laterally from the connecting element 36 as notch-shaped recesses. How Figures 10 and 11 As can be seen, a scale is assigned to the blocking pieces 36.7. In Figure 10Accordingly, the retaining elements 73.6 are inserted into the blocking pieces 36.7 assigned to marking 3. In this way, the adjusting arrangement 70 is positively locked to the connecting element 36 in the direction of the guide 36.6. The captive locking connection between the counter-locking element 36.5 and the locking receptacle 73.5 ensures the captive fixing of the adjusting arrangement 70 to the connecting element 36.

[0108] To secure the adjusting assembly 70 in a different mounting position, it is grasped at the handle 73.2 and pulled off the connecting element 36, whereby the retaining elements 73.6 disengage from the locking pieces 36.7 and the detent connection between the counter-locking element 36.5 and the locking receptacle 73.5 is released. The adjusting assembly 70 can now be reinstalled in a modified mounting position. For this purpose, the counter-locking element 36.5 is moved to the desired position in the guide 36.6, as shown by the adjusted assembly in the Figures 10 and 11 This can be seen. Then the positioning arrangement 70 can be reattached to the connecting element 36 in the changed mounting position. Figure 11 The positioning arrangement 70 is now fixed in a maximum setting position.

[0109] The positioning arrangement 70, with its stop 72.4, forms a contact point for a counter-stop 37.2. The counter-stop 37.2 can, as shown by the Figures 10 and 11The stop 72.4 is designed as a roller that rolls on the stop 72.4. The counter-stop 37.2 is attached to the actuator 37. As soon as the stop 72.4 contacts the counter-stop 37.2, the actuator 72 is adjusted against the damping effect of the damper 71. In this way, the closing movement of the furniture fitting 10 can be dampened.

[0110] By adjusting the adjusting mechanism 70 on the connecting element 36 at the various fastening points, the point at which the damping becomes effective can be individually set by the user. As the Figure 10 As can be seen, the damping effect kicks in relatively late with the selected setting, whereas with the one in Figure 11 The illustration shows that the damping force takes effect earlier. This damping prevents the door or flap from slamming shut during the closing movement.

[0111] Figure 12This indicates that a tension spring 74 with the actuating arrangement 70 can be installed instead of the damper 71. The tension spring 74 is designed as a compression spring and has support surfaces 74.1 and 74.2 on opposite sides. The support surface 74.1 rests against the base 73.3 and the support surface 74.2 against the stop 72.4 when the tension spring 74 is inserted into the receptacle 72.2. The tension spring 74 spreads the actuating element 72 relative to the holder 73. Accordingly, the actuating element 72 can be pushed into the holder 73 against the force of the tension spring 74.

[0112] If the actuating arrangement is used in an operating mode in which the tension spring 74 is used, the actuating arrangement 70 assists the opening movement of the furniture fitting 10. Accordingly, the actuating element 72 presses against the counter-stop 37.2. The assistance of the opening movement continues until the actuating element 72 is in its fully extended position.

[0113] The furniture fitting 10 can be designed such that the actuating element 38 is connected to the mounting position 36.3 and the actuating arrangement 70 is equipped with the tension spring 74. When the furniture fitting is in its closed position, i.e., the flap or door is closed, the spring element 38.2 of the actuating element 38 (for example, after the flap or door has been unlocked, see above) causes an initial opening movement. This is assisted by the tension spring 74. After the spring element 38.2 has released, the tension spring 74 remains effective and causes further opening until the furniture fitting 10 reaches a partially open position or, more preferably, is in a fully open position.

[0114] In another operating mode, the furniture fitting 10 can be designed such that the damper 71 is installed with the adjusting arrangement 70. The adjusting element 38 is then preferably connected to the second mounting position 36.4.

[0115] The second mounting position 36.4 is located above the horizontal line passing through the pivot point of the 7th joint 36.1. Accordingly, a counterclockwise torque is applied to the connecting element 36 by the spring element 38.2. Due to this torque, the adjusting element pushes the furniture fitting 10 into the closed position during the last part of its adjustment travel. This closing movement occurs against the damping effect of the adjusting arrangement 70, which then rests against the counter-stop 37.2. In the closed position, the adjusting element 38, together with the spring element 38.2, holds the connecting element 36 under tension in the closed position, thus securing it.

[0116] In the Figures 13 and 14 This illustrates another detail of the furniture fitting 10. These figures show enlarged sections of the furniture fitting 10 in the hinge position according to Figures 10 .

[0117] As these drawings show, the furniture fitting 10 has the holding device 40 with at least one spring element 43. In the present example, three spring elements 43 are used. The spring elements 43 are arranged in the spring receptacle 44 and pushed onto the support elements 45. The spring elements 43 act on the connecting element 41.

[0118] In the illustration shown, the spring elements 43 are positioned slightly offset from the connecting element 41 to reveal the support elements 45. In reality, the ends of the spring elements 43 rest against the connecting element 41 in the operating position.

[0119] The spring elements 43 exert a compressive force on the connecting element 41. This compressive force is transferred by the connecting element 41 in the plane of the drawing according to Figure 13 to adjust from the back of the furniture fitting 10 towards the front.

[0120] The connecting element 41 is connected to the pivot lever 42 via the bearing 41.1. The pivot lever 42, in turn, is pivotally attached to the 10th joint 39.1. Accordingly, the pivot lever 42 is pivotally attached to the actuator 37.

[0121] The actuator 37 is designed as a two-part lever. As the drawings show, the actuator 37 has two spaced-apart sub-elements for this purpose, which, as in the present embodiment, can be formed from plate-shaped elements, in particular from sheet steel blanks. The fastening lever 31, the deflection levers 33, 34, the connecting element 36, the actuating lever 39 and / or the pivot lever 42 can have the same design principle.

[0122] In Figure 14The component of the two-part actuator 37 facing the viewer has been removed, so that the structure of the pivot lever 42 is clearly visible. As this drawing shows, the pivot lever 42, like the actuator 37, is designed as a two-armed lever, with both arms pivoting together about the tenth joint 39.1. The connecting element 41 is attached to one arm of the pivot lever 42. The other arm of the pivot lever 42 is coupled to an adjusting device 37.3.

[0123] How Figure 14 As can be further seen, the adjusting device 37.3 has an adjusting element 37.4. The adjusting element 37.4 can be in the form of a screw. The screw has a screw head with a tool receptacle 37.6. For example, a Torx screw or a common type of internal hexagon screw can be used.

[0124] The adjusting element 37.4 is rotatably mounted about its central longitudinal axis on a bearing piece 37.5 in the area of ​​the tool holder 37.6. The bearing piece 37.5 is pivotally attached to the actuator 37 by means of a swivel bearing 37.9. The swivel axis runs in Figure 14 perpendicular to the image plane. The threaded section of the adjusting element 37.4 is screwed into a threaded receptacle of an adjusting piece 37.8. The adjusting piece 37.8 is pivotally mounted on the pivot lever 42. The pivot axis of the adjusting piece 37.8 runs perpendicular to the image plane according to Figure 14 Furthermore, the actuator 37.8 has guide projections. These project from opposite sides of the pivot lever 42. The guide projections are each inserted in a guide 37.7 of the actuator 37 and can be moved along the guide contour therein.

[0125] To adjust the adjusting device 37.3, a tool, for example a screwdriver, can be inserted into the tool holder 37.6 from the front with the flap open, the insertion direction then being from the front to the back of the furniture fitting 10. The open position is in Figure 3 shown in contrast to the positioning according to the Figures 13 and 14 The tool holder 37.6 is then arranged so that it is easily accessible from the front. The adjusting element 37.4 can then be rotated with the tool. Since the adjusting element 37.4 engages in the threads of the adjusting piece 37.8, the adjusting piece 37.8 and, with it, the pivot lever 42 are adjusted. As a result of this adjustment, the guide projections of the adjusting piece 37.8 also move within the guides 37.7, for example, as shown in the drawing. Figure 14From left to right. With such an adjustment, the pivot lever 42 is rotated about the axis of rotation of the 10th joint 39.1. This also adjusts the bearing 41.1. In the present example, if the adjusting piece 37.8 is moved to the right in the plane of the image, the bearing 41.1 pivots to the upper left. The bearing 41.1 forms the force application point where the force from the holding device 40 is introduced into the linkage chain via the pivot lever 42 and the actuating element 37 by means of the second adjusting lever 39. When the pivot lever 42 is adjusted, the spring elements 43 are relieved of some of their load, thus reducing their preload. This results in a reduced clamping force. In this way, the flap holder can be adjusted for lighter flap weights.

[0126] In Figure 13The setting position marked with a plus sign represents the maximum spring preload. The setting position marked with a minus sign represents the minimum spring preload.

[0127] When the adjusting device 37.3 is adjusted, the pivot lever 42 pivots as described above. This pivoting of the pivot lever 42 also causes the adjusting element 37.4 to pivot about the pivot bearing 37.9. Furthermore, the adjusting element 37.4 also pivots relative to the pivotally mounted adjusting piece 37.8.

[0128] As mentioned above, the holding force generated by the holding device 40 is introduced into the joint chain of the furniture fitting 10.

[0129] How Figure 3As shown, this linkage chain is formed by the stationary 6th joint 35.1, the stationary 7th joint 36.1, as well as the 1st joint 32.1, the 2nd joint 32.2, the 3rd joint 33.1, the 4th joint 34.1 and the 5th joint 34.2 and the fastening lever 31, the two deflection levers 33, 34, the joint lever 35, and the connecting element 36.

[0130] By means of this linkage chain, the fastening lever 31 (and with it a flap coupled to it) can be pivoted between an open and a closed position.

[0131] How Figure 13 As clearly illustrated, the actuator 37 serves on the one hand with the 2nd lever arm of the actuator 37 to receive the first actuating lever 38 and on the other lever arm to receive the adjusting device 37.3.

[0132] Ultimately, the holding force generated by the holding device 40 is introduced into the linkage chain via the 2nd actuating lever 39.

[0133] The actuating lever 39 is pivotable together with the actuating element 37 and the pivoting lever 42 about a common axis of rotation, this axis of rotation being formed by the 10th joint 39.1.

[0134] How Figure 14 As can be further seen, in a second application the counter-stop 37.2 can also be used to limit the opening movement of the flap holder in the open position. For this purpose, the counter-stop strikes a lever, for example in this case the pivot lever 42, laterally when it is in the open position.

[0135] The Figures 13 and 14 The drawings also show that the flap stay has a compact design. In particular, for this purpose, the retaining device 40 is arranged behind the hinge chain in the direction shown in the drawings, which runs from left to right, i.e., from the stop side to the opposite rear side.

[0136] The Figures 13 and 14It can also be seen that when the linkage chain is adjusted, in which the flap is moved from the closed position towards the open position, the connecting element 41 is essentially moved from the back to the front (during the closing movement, the connecting element 41 is moved in the opposite direction). This movement of the connecting element 41 from the back to the front is received and transmitted by the linkage chain. In this respect, the furniture fitting 10 according to the invention does not require a reversal of motion, which supports a stable and compact design.

[0137] In the Figures 23 and 24 A mounting element 100 is shown. The mounting element 100 has a contact piece 102, from which a stop 101 is angled. A retaining element 103 is held on the contact piece 102. The mounting element 100 is preferably manufactured as a single-piece injection-molded plastic part.

[0138] The mounting element 100, together with the mounting piece 80, serves as an assembly aid. How Figure 25 As can be seen, the furniture fitting 10 can be attached to a furniture carcass 110. The furniture carcass 110 has a conventional construction. It has two parallel side walls 111 and a top wall 112 that connects the two side walls 111. The side walls 111 have a front surface 113 in the area of ​​the furniture opening. The top wall 112 has a bottom surface 114.

[0139] To use the mounting piece 80 as a drilling template, the mounting element 100 is first connected to the mounting piece 80. Depending on the desired stop type, as follows: Figure 25The figure shows the mounting piece 100 with its retaining element 103 hooked onto the counterpart element 85. For this purpose, the retaining element 103 is inserted behind the retaining section 85.2 of the counterpart element 85 so that it holds itself in place. Now the retaining element 100 can be positioned against the furniture carcass 110 so that the stop 101 rests on the front surface 113 of the associated side panel 111. The mounting piece 80 rests with its furniture mounting side 81.3 on the inside of the side panel 111. For precise vertical alignment of the mounting piece 80, the two support sections 81.2 rest against the underside 114 of the top panel 112. In this way, the mounting piece 80 is precisely aligned in the desired drilling template position. Now the two openings 89 can be used to drill the holes at the desired location. For this purpose, a drill is placed through the openings 89 and the borehole is made in the side wall 111.The mounting piece 80, with its two projections 88, can then be inserted into the previously drilled holes. This moves the mounting piece 80 slightly downwards from the underside 114 of the cover wall 112. The now precisely aligned mounting piece 80 can be fastened to the side wall 111 with additional fastening screws 90 or 91, as described above. Finally, the remaining fitting is fixed to the mounting piece 80 with the fastening section 51, 53, as described above.
