Description

[0001] Fitting for the movable mounting of a swivel element

[0002] The present invention relates to a fitting which is designed as a furniture fitting or building fitting for the movable mounting of a pivoting element relative to a stationary structure, in particular a furniture body, comprising:

[0003] - a first fitting part for fastening to the stationary structure, wherein the first fitting part is designed to be inserted at least partially into a recess in the stationary structure,

[0004] - a second fitting part for fastening to a pivoting element, in particular a movable furniture part,

[0005] - at least one joint axis via which the first fitting part and the second fitting part are pivotally connected to one another.

[0006] Furthermore, the invention relates to an arrangement with a stationary structure, in particular a furniture body, and with at least one fitting of the type to be described.

[0007] WO 2020 / 006589 A1 shows a furniture fitting with two fitting parts that are connected to one another in an articulated manner for the movable mounting of a furniture door, wherein a first fitting part can be sunk within a side wall of a furniture carcass. In this way, the first fitting part of the furniture fitting can be integrated into the side wall in a very compact manner, wherein an arm of the fitting part is guided through a front recess in the side wall. However, this furniture fitting can only be used for limited applications. Difficulties can arise if the furniture carcass rests directly against a room wall or directly against an adjacent furniture carcass. In such a case, it is possible that the movable furniture part collides with the room wall or with a movable furniture part of the adjacent furniture carcass and hinders or even makes impossible movement of the movable furniture part.The object of the present invention is to provide a furniture fitting of the type mentioned at the outset while avoiding the disadvantages discussed above.

[0008] This is achieved according to the invention by the features of patent claim 1. Further embodiments of the present invention are specified in the dependent patent claims.

[0009] According to the invention, it is provided that the first fitting part has a housing with an end face facing the second fitting part and with at least one housing side running transversely to the end face, wherein at least one arm is provided on which the at least one joint axis is arranged and wherein the at least one arm projects transversely from the housing side of the first fitting part.

[0010] In other words, the first fitting part of the fitting is designed for integration into a stationary structure, in particular for accommodation within a wall thickness of a furniture panel, wherein the at least one joint axis for pivotably supporting the second fitting part is laterally spaced from a plane formed by the housing side by an arm projecting transversely from a lateral housing side of the housing.

[0011] In this way, the at least one joint axis is moved further in the direction of the center of the furniture body in an assembled state of the fitting, so that the furniture part connected to the second fitting part no longer collides with an adjacent room wall or with a movable furniture part of an adjacent furniture body.

[0063] Fig. 4b shows the fitting 6 according to Fig. 4a in a further perspective view.

[0064] Fig. 5a shows a first possible application of the fitting 6. The first fitting part 7 is integrated in the stationary structure 2, preferably in the vertically extending plate 17 of the furniture body 2a, whereas the second fitting part 8 is at least partially accommodated within the pivoting element 3.

[0065] The pivoting element 3 can, as shown in Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b, have an outer frame 4 and a decorative panel 5, for example made of glass, arranged in the frame 4. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the second fitting part 8 of the fitting 6 is at least partially accommodated in the frame 4.

[0066] The joint axis 9 arranged on the arm 10 allows the pivoting element 3 to move freely between a fully closed position and a fully open position, particularly when the panel 17 rests directly against an adjacent furniture body 2 or against a room wall. In the fully closed position, the pivoting element 3 covers the end face 17a of the panel 17 at least partially, preferably essentially completely.

[0067] Fig. 5b shows a second possible application of the fitting 6, wherein two pivoting elements 3 are mounted so as to be movable relative to the plate 17. A first fitting 6 is provided for mounting a first pivoting element 3 and a second fitting 6 is provided for mounting a second pivoting element 3, the first fitting part 7 of one fitting 6 being integrated in a first side surface of the plate 17 and the first fitting part 7 of the other fitting 6 being integrated in a second side surface of the plate 17. The two fittings 6 are arranged mirror-symmetrically to one another and spaced apart from one another in a vertical direction in the plane of the plate 17. In the fully closed position, the two pivoting elements 3 cover the end face 17a of the plate 17 at least in part, preferably approximately half in each case.

[0068] Fig. 5c shows a third possible application of the fitting 6, wherein the pivoting element 3 is aligned substantially coplanar with the end face 17a of the plate 17 in a fully closed position and / or wherein the end face 19a of the housing 19 is visible in a closed state of the fitting 6.

[0069] It can be seen that the laterally projecting arm 10 of the fitting 6 can have a different length for the three different applications according to Fig . 5a - 5c .

[0070] In all embodiments, a particular advantage is that, due to the offset of the arm 10, no machining of the pivoting element 3 on the visible side 23 is necessary. The visible side 23 of the pivoting element 3, preferably of the frame 4, can therefore be designed free of depressions or recesses.

[0071] Fig. 6a shows a piece of furniture 1 with a stationary structure 2 in the form of a furniture body 2a and with a pivoting element 3 in the form of a movably mounted furniture part 3a in a perspective view. The embodiment of the piece of furniture 1 shown in Fig. 6a corresponds to the piece of furniture according to Fig. 5c, wherein an outer surface of the pivoting element 3 in a closed state of the pivoting element 3 is aligned substantially coplanar with the end face 17a of the plate 17. Fig. 6b shows the area circled in Fig. 6a in an enlarged view. It can be seen that the end face 19a of the fitting 6 is closed and runs substantially flush with the end face 17a of the plate 17. When the pivoting element 3 is in the closed state, the end face 19a of the fitting 6 is visible.

[0072] Fig. 6c shows a piece of furniture 1 in a front view, wherein the furniture 1 corresponds to the configuration according to Fig. 5b. The two pivoting elements 3 are pivotally mounted on the vertically extending plate 17 via at least two fittings 6.
