[Figure 7c] 10A and 10B show the adjusting element in different rotational positions. [Figure 7d] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing an adjustment element.

[0013] FIG. 1a shows a piece of furniture 1 comprising a furniture cabinet 2 and a drawer 3 which is supported movably relative to the furniture cabinet 2 via a drawer guide (not shown here) for the drawer.

[0014] Each drawer 3 has two lateral drawer side walls 4 , a drawer front panel 5 , a drawer bottom 6 and a drawer back wall 7 .

[0015] Figure 1b shows a perspective view of a drawer side wall 4, which has a hollow chamber profile 4a. The drawer side wall 4 has an inner profile wall 8a and an outer profile wall 8b that is at least partially spaced from the inner profile wall 8a.

[0016] The drawer side wall 4 may have a mounting adapter 9, via which the drawer back wall 7 is connectable, preferably removably, to the drawer side wall 4.

[0017] The drawer side walls 4 are connected to support profiles 10, which are configured to be connected to the movable guide rails of the drawer guides for the drawers. For this purpose, the support profiles 10 have a U-shape in which the movable guide rails of the drawer guides for the drawers can be arranged and releasably locked inside. Furthermore, the support profiles 10 are provided to support the drawer bottom 6.

[0018] The drawer side wall 4 is releasably lockable to a hardware part 12 which is to be attached to a furniture part, preferably to the drawer front 5. The hardware part 12 may have, for example, two or more dowels 13 which can be fixed in pre-drilled holes in the drawer front 5. In the shown Figure 1b the locked state between the drawer side wall 4 and the hardware part 12 is shown.

[0019] Arranged in the hollow chamber profile 4 a of the drawer side wall 4 is at least one fitting 14 which can be releasably locked to a fitting part 12 to be attached to the drawer front 5 .

[0020] The fitting 14 has at least one adjustment device 15 by which the position of the fitting part 12 (and thus the position of the drawer front panel 5) can be adjusted relative to the drawer side wall 4 in a first adjustment direction (preferably laterally relative to the drawer side wall 4).

[0021] The height adjustment device 16 allows the position of the metal fitting part 12 (and thus the position of the drawer front panel 5) to be adjusted in a second adjustment direction (preferably in the height direction relative to the drawer side wall 4) extending transversely to the first adjustment direction.

[0022] Figure 2 shows in perspective view a fitting 14 for removably attaching the drawer front 5. In the assembled state, the fitting 14 is substantially completely embedded within the drawer side wall 4.

[0023] The fitting 14 has a base 18, which is connected to the support profile 10 of the drawer side wall 4, preferably via a connecting web 19. Furthermore, the fitting 14 includes at least one support device 20, which is releasably lockable to the fitting part 12 and is adjustably supported relative to the base 18.

[0024] By means of the adjustment device 15, the position of the support device 20 (and thus the position of the drawer front 5) is adjustable relative to the drawer side wall 4 and relative to the base 18 in a first adjustment direction (preferably lateral). The adjustment device 15 has at least one rotatable adjustment element 15a, and by rotation of the at least one adjustment element 15a the position of the support device 20 is adjustable relative to the base 18.

[0025] The height adjustment device 16 allows the support device 20 to be adjusted relative to the base 18 in a second adjustment direction extending transversely to the first adjustment direction. The height adjustment device 16 has a rotatably supported height adjustment element 16a, and the support device 20 is adjustable in height relative to the base 18 by rotation of the height adjustment element 16a.

[0026] A fitting part 12 having two or more dowels 13 spaced apart in height from one another can be attached to the rear of the drawer front 5. The fitting 14 has at least one locking device 22 having a capture element 22a biased by a spring 21. The capture element 22a, preferably in the form of a rocker arm, is supported for rotation about an axis, and the fitting part 12 can be releasably locked to the capture element 22a of the locking device 22 by the force of the spring 21.

[0027] The lock between the fitting 14 and the fitting part 12 can be released again by means of the rotatable release element 17. The fitting part 12 can be separated from the fitting 14 again by rotating the release element 17 with a screwdriver against the force of the spring 21.

[0028] FIG. 3 shows the fitting 14 according to FIG. 2 in another perspective view, with part of the base 18 not shown for clarity.

[0029] At least one adjusting device 15 has at least one rotatable adjusting element 15a with a (not shown here) screw thread 27 (FIG. 5b). The adjusting element 15a has at least one stop 23 separate from the screw thread 27, in which case there is provided at least one counter stop 24a, 24b, preferably curved, against which the stop 23 of the adjusting element 15a can abut in order to limit the rotational movement of the adjusting element 15a.

[0030] According to a preferred embodiment, it may be specified that the stop 23 is formed as a radially extending protrusion on the adjusting element 15a.

[0031] The at least one counter stop 24a, 24b may be arranged or formed on the height adjustment device 16. The height adjustment device 16 has a rotatably supported height adjustment element 16a, and the at least one counter stop 24a, 24b is arranged or formed on the height adjustment element 16a.

[0032] Arranging at least one counter stop 24a, 24b on the height adjustment device 16, preferably on the rotatable height adjustment element 16a, has the particular advantage that no additional counter stops 24a, 24b need to be arranged or formed on the base 18 and / or the support device 20. This allows for a simple and inexpensive production of the fitting 14 as well as a compact design of the fitting 14.

[0033] 4a to 4c show an adjustment device 15 with a rotatable adjustment element 15a in three different rotational positions.

[0034] 4a shows that the stop 23 of the adjusting element 15a abuts against a first corresponding stop 24a of the height adjusting device 16, preferably on the height adjusting element 16a. In this way, the rotational movement of the adjusting element 15a in a first rotational direction can be limited. The user receives concrete feedback that the first end position of the adjusting element 15a has been reached and that further rotation of the adjusting element 15a in the first rotational direction is no longer possible.

[0035] FIG. 4b shows the rotatable adjusting element 15a in an intermediate position in which the stop 23 is spaced apart from both the first counter stop 24a and the second counter stop 24b.

[0036] 4c shows that the stop 23 of the adjusting element 15a abuts against a second corresponding stop 24b of the height adjusting device 16, preferably on the height adjusting element 16a. In this way, the rotational movement of the adjusting element 15a in the second rotational direction can be limited. The user receives concrete feedback that the second end position of the adjusting element 15a has been reached and that further rotation of the adjusting element 15a in the second rotational direction is no longer possible.

[0037] According to an embodiment, it may be specified that the at least one adjustment element 15a is movable over a maximum rotation angle range of 360°, preferably over a maximum rotation angle range of 330°.

[0038] 5a shows an exploded view of the fitting 14. At least one support device 20 and / or at least one base 18 may be substantially plate-shaped, which allows for a simple manufacture of the fitting 14 with a compact construction.

[0039] The at least one adjustment device 15 is configured to adjust the spacing of the at least one support device 20 relative to the at least one base 18 .

[0040] In the illustrated embodiment, it is specified that at least one adjustment device 15 is configured to adjust the spacing of at least one support device 20 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane formed by the plate-like support device 20 or base 18.

[0041] The base 18 may have at least two spaced apart, preferably substantially plate-shaped, base parts 18a, 18b, between which at least one adjusting element 15a of the adjusting device 15 is supported at least in a predetermined section.

[0042] Likewise, the support device 20 may have at least two spaced apart, preferably substantially plate-shaped, support parts 20a, 20b, which are together adjustable relative to the base 18 by rotation of the adjustment element 15a of the adjustment device 15. In the shown figures, the first support part 20a is fixed to the fitting part 12 to be attached to the drawer front 5, whereas the second support part 20b of the support device 20 is shown separated.

[0043] The adjustment element 15a of the adjustment device 15 has a pin 28a, which is rotatably supported in a hole 28b in the base 18. This may be done via a conventional rivet connection.

[0044] Furthermore, the adjusting element 15 a of the adjusting device 15 preferably has a helical thread 27 , which is engaged or engageable with the support device 20 via an engagement section 29 .

[0045] In the illustrated embodiment, the engagement section 29 is arranged or formed on the support device 20 and has at least one bevel 29a which engages or is engageable with the thread 27 of the adjustment element 15a.

[0046] The base 18, in this case the base part 18b of the base 18, has at least one, preferably circular, cutout 25a in which the adjustment element 15a of the adjustment device 15 is partially received.

[0047] In the illustrated embodiment, the base 18 has a further circular cutout 25b, which can partially accommodate the rotatably supported height adjustment element 16a of the height adjustment device 16.

[0048] The rotatable height adjustment device 16 may have at least one eccentric, which is guided in a preferably linear guide 26 of the support device 20. By rotating the height adjustment element 16a, the height position of the support device 20 can be adjusted relative to the base 18.

[0049] Figure 5b shows an enlarged view of the boxed area in Figure 5a. At least one stop 23 of the adjusting element 15a of the adjusting device 15 can abut against a corresponding stop 24a, 24b of the height adjusting element 16a of the height adjusting device 16, thereby limiting the maximum rotational movement of the adjusting element 15a in both directions of rotation.

[0050] In one possible embodiment of the present invention, at least one thread 27 may be specified to be engaged or engageable with the support device 20 only on a first side, and the thread 27 is spaced apart from the support device 20, preferably by a gap, on a second side located diametrically opposite the first side.

[0051] The adjusting element 15a of the adjusting device 15 is therefore in contact with the base 18 via the pin 28a and with the support device 20 on only one side via the thread 27, while the diametrically opposite side of the adjusting element 15a is not engaged with the support device 20. This makes it possible to easily assemble the adjusting element 15a, as has been customary up to now, without having to be screwed into the fitting 14.

[0052] Preferably, it is specified that the adjustment element 15a of the adjustment device 15 and / or the height adjustment element 16a of the height adjustment device 16 has a receiving contour 32 for receiving a tool, preferably a screwdriver.

[0053] 6a shows another exploded view of the fitting 14, in which the height adjustment element 16a of the height adjustment device 16 is shown in detail. The height adjustment element 16a has at least one eccentric with a pin 30, which is movably supported in a guide 26 of the support device 20. By rotating the height adjustment element 16a, the support device 20 can be raised and lowered relative to the base 18.

[0054] Figure 6b shows an enlarged view of the boxed area in figure 6a. The pin 30 of the height-adjusting element 16a is received in the horizontally extending guide 26 in the assembled position.

[0055] 7a to 7c show the adjusting element 15a of the adjusting device 15 in three different rotational positions.

[0056] 7a shows the adjusting element 15a in a first maximum rotation position, in which the stop 23 of the adjusting element 15a abuts against a first corresponding stop 24a of the height adjusting element 16a. In this way, the rotational movement of the adjusting element 15a can be limited to clockwise.

[0057] FIG. 7b shows an intermediate rotational position of the adjusting element 15a, in which the stop 23 of the adjusting element 15a does not abut against either the first counter stop 24a or the second counter stop 24b.

[0058] 7c shows the adjusting element 15a in the second maximum rotation position, in which the stop 23 of the adjusting element 15a abuts against the second corresponding stop 24b of the height adjusting element 16a. In this way, the rotational movement of the adjusting element 15a can be limited counterclockwise.

[0059] In the illustrated embodiment, at least two mutually spaced-apart counter stops 24a, 24b are provided, in which at least one adjusting element 15a can abut against a first counter stop 24a in a first end position and against a second counter stop 24b in a second end position.

[0060] It may be specified that the first counter stop 24a and the second counter stop 24b are preferably arranged on one and the same component, which is preferably rotatable. In the illustrated embodiment, both counter stops 24a, 24b are arranged on the rotatable height adjustment element 16a of the height adjustment device 16. This allows the fitting 14 to be designed very compactly.

[0061] Figure 7d shows in a perspective view the rotatable adjusting element 15a of the adjusting device 15. The adjusting element 15a has a cylindrical pin 28a, which is rotatably supported in a hole 28b (Figure 5a) in the base 18.

[0062] Furthermore, the at least one adjusting element 15a preferably has a substantially cylindrical circumferential surface 31, and at least one, preferably helical, thread 27 extends along the circumferential surface 31 of the adjusting element 15a.

[0063] At least one thread 27 engages or is engageable with the support device 20 at least in a predetermined section.

[0064] At least one stop 23 is formed as a radially extending protrusion on the adjusting element 15a and / or on the head of the adjusting element 15a.

[0065] According to a preferred embodiment, it may be specified that the at least one adjustment element 15a consists of metal, in particular zinc, aluminum or a cold-extruded part or plastic.

[0066] The fitting 14 shown and described can be used advantageously not only for furniture 1, furniture parts or furniture fitting parts, but also as architectural fittings (for example for windows or doors).
