Description
[0001] The invention relates to a fitting for the movable mounting of a furniture component, a door, or a window on a support structure according to the preamble of claim 1. The invention further relates to a piece of furniture comprising at least one support structure, which preferably has a shaft-shaped cavity, at least one such fitting, and at least one furniture component movably mounted on the support structure by means of the fitting, which is preferably designed as a folding or folding-sliding door. Finally, the invention relates to a method for the movable mounting of a furniture component, a door, or a window on a support structure by means of at least one such fitting.
[0002] A fitting for the movable mounting of a furniture component on a support structure is known from AT 521365. However, a disadvantage of this fitting is its technically complex design, which makes attaching the two fitting components more difficult. The more complex the attachment, the higher the risk of incorrect operation. DE10110921A1 also discloses an example of such a fitting.
[0003] The object of the invention is to at least partially overcome the disadvantages known from the prior art and, in particular, to provide a fitting that is characterized by increased user-friendliness, especially during assembly. Furthermore, a piece of furniture with at least one such improved fitting and a method for the movable mounting of a furniture component, a door, or a window on a support structure by means of at least one such improved fitting are to be provided.
[0004] This problem is solved by the features of claims 1, 14 and 15.
[0005] In the fitting for the movable mounting of a furniture part, a door or a window on a support structure, it is therefore provided that the fastening device comprises at least a first component with at least one unthreaded section and at least one threaded section and at least a second component with at least one mating thread, wherein the unthreaded section, the threaded section and the mating thread are arranged on the two components of the fastening device such that the mating thread is in contact with the unthreaded section in a sliding position and is engaged with the threaded section in an engagement position.
[0006] In this way, the two components of the fastening device can be quickly and easily joined together in the sliding position and then connected in the engagement position. This simplifies the assembly process, especially when more than one fastening device is used and / or the furniture, window, or door mounted on the first fitting is heavy. Tool-free fastening of the two fitting components is also possible using this method.
