[0002] The invention further relates to an assembly comprising a stationary structure, in particular a furniture cabinet, and at least one fitting of the type described.

[0003] WO 2020 / 006589 discloses a furniture fitting for movably supporting a furniture door, comprising two fitting parts pivotally connected to one another, where the first fitting part can be inserted into the side wall of a furniture cabinet. In this way, the first fitting part of the furniture fitting can be installed in the side wall in a very compact manner, with the arm of the fitting part being guided through a notch in the front side of the side wall. However, this furniture fitting can only be used in limited applications. Problems may arise if the furniture cabinet directly contacts the room wall or an adjacent furniture cabinet. In such cases, the movable furniture part may collide with the room wall or with a movable furniture part of the adjacent furniture cabinet, hindering or even making the movement of the movable furniture part impossible.

[0004] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a furniture fitting of the type mentioned at the outset which avoids the above-mentioned disadvantages.

[0005] This problem is solved according to the invention by the features of patent claim 1. Further embodiments of the invention are set forth in the dependent claims.

[0006] According to the invention, it is specified that the first metal part has a casing with an end face facing the second metal part and at least one casing face extending laterally relative to this end face, and that at least one arm is provided on which at least one joint axis is arranged, the at least one arm protruding laterally from the casing face of the first metal part.

[0007] In other words, the first hardware part of the hardware is designed to be incorporated into a stationary structure, in particular to be accommodated inside the wall thickness of the furniture plate, and at least one joint axis for pivotally supporting the second hardware part is spaced laterally from the plane formed by the casing surface by an arm projecting laterally from a lateral casing surface of the casing.

[0008] When configured in this manner, at least one joint axis is moved further towards the centre of the furniture cabinet when the fitting is installed, so that the furniture part connected to the second fitting part no longer collides with the adjacent room wall or with a movable furniture part of the adjacent furniture cabinet.

[0009] Further details and advantages of the invention will be explained on the basis of the following description of the drawings. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] FIG. 1 a shows a perspective view of a piece of furniture 1 with a stationary structure 2, in particular a furniture cabinet 2 a, in which a swivel element 3, in particular a movable furniture part 3 a, is supported via two or more fittings 6 so as to be movable relative to the stationary structure 2.

[0012] In the illustrated embodiment, the pivoting element 3 comprises a frame 4 and a preferably transparent or translucent decorative plate 5 arranged within the frame 4 .

[0013] Figure 1b shows an enlarged view of the circled area in Figure 1a. The bracket 6 has a first bracket part 7 for attachment to the stationary structure 2 and a second bracket part 8 for attachment to the pivoting element 3, the first bracket part 7 and the second bracket part 8 being pivotally connected to each other via at least one joint axis 9.

[0014] The first fitting part 7 of the fitting 6 is configured to be inserted at least partially into a recess 18 (FIGS. 2a, 2b) provided in the stationary structure 2, for example into a vertically extending plate 17 of the furniture cabinet 2a in the assembled state. In the mounted state of the fitting 6, the first fitting part 7 is substantially completely integrated into the plate 17 of the furniture cabinet 2a.

[0015] The plates 17 are, for example, (coated) particle board, MDF plates or other wood plates 17 with a plate thickness (thickness) of 16 mm, which is typical in today's furniture manufacturing. Furthermore, plates 17 with other thicknesses, for example 19 mm, can also be used.

[0016] In order to prevent collisions between the pivoting element 3 and the adjacent chamber wall or adjacent pivoting element, the fitting 6 has a laterally protruding lateral arm 10 on which at least one joint axis 9 is arranged for pivotally supporting the second fitting part 8.

[0017] In the fully open state, the pivoting element 3 is arranged in a plane that is substantially parallel to and offset from the plane of the plate 17 .

[0018] In the illustrated embodiment, the bracket 6 has at least two joint axes 9 arranged on the arm 10, and the first bracket part 7 and the second bracket part 8 are pivotally connected to each other via at least two joint levers 11, 20.

[0019] The second fitting part 8 may, for example, have a hinge pot 8a which is at least partially arranged inside a preferably cylindrical hole in the pivoting element 3. This hole may be arranged on a side of the pivoting element 3, in particular on a side of the frame 4.

[0020] The plate 17 may have at least one opening 12, 13, 14, preferably a plurality of openings 12, 13, 14, in which case at least one opening 12, 13, 14 allows access to at least one adjustment device 12a, 13a, 14a (Figures 3a, 3b) of the fitting 6.

[0021] The plate 17 may have at least one further opening 15 that allows access to a movable switching mechanism 15a (Figures 3a, 3b) of the fitting 6, which in this case can deactivate or limit the damping function of the damping device 21 (Figures 4a, 4b) of the fitting 6.

[0022] FIG. 2a shows a stationary structure 2 in the form of a furniture cabinet 2a in a perspective view, in which the swivel element 3 and the fitting 6 for supporting said swivel element 3 in a swiveling manner are not shown.

[0023] The first fitting part 7 of the fitting 6 is at least partially, preferably substantially completely, receivable in a pocket-like recess 18 in the plate 17 .

[0024] Figure 2b shows an enlarged view of the circled area in Figure 2a. The pocket-like recess 18 has an opening 18a, 18b in the end face 17a of the plate 17 and in a side face 17b of the plate 17 extending transversely to this end face. It is specified that the openings 18a, 18b are preferably connected to each other so that they together form one continuous opening 18a, 18b.

[0025] The casing 19 of the first metal part 7 is formed so as to be inserted into a recess 18 of the plate 17, preferably in the form of a pocket, starting from the narrow end face 17a of the plate 17.

[0026] The plate 17 may have two or more openings 12, 13, 14 allowing access to the adjustment devices 12a, 13a, 14a (FIGS. 3a, 3b) of the fitting 6, respectively.

[0027] The plate 17 may have at least one further opening 15 that allows access to a movable switching mechanism 15a (Figures 3a, 3b) of the fitting 6, which in this case can deactivate or limit the damping function of the damping device 21 (Figures 4a, 4b) of the fitting 6.

[0028] The plate 17 may have at least one further opening 16 that allows access to a mounting element 16a (FIG. 3b) of the fitting 6. By means of the mounting element 16a, the first fitting part 7 can be fixed in or on the plate 17.

[0029] At least one cover (not shown here) may be provided which can cover at least one opening 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18b of the plate 17, preferably all openings 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18b of the plate 17.

[0030] At least one cover may be attached to at least one of the openings 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18b.

[0031] 3a shows in perspective view the fitting 6. The first fitting part 7 has a casing 19 which can be incorporated into a plate 17.

[0032] The casing 19 of the first fitting part 7 has an end face 19a facing the second fitting part 8 and at least one casing face 19b extending transversely to this end face 19a.

[0033] At least one arm 10 is provided, on which at least one joint shaft 9 is arranged. The at least one arm 10 projects laterally from a casing surface 19b of the first fitting part 7.

[0034] According to an embodiment, it may be specified that the casing surface 19b of the casing 19, from which at least one arm 10 protrudes laterally, is formed substantially flat and / or, in the mounted state, is oriented substantially parallel to the plate 17 on or within the plate 17 of the stationary structure 2.

[0035] In the mounted state, at least one arm 10 projects laterally from a side surface 17b of the plate 17 (FIG. 2b).

[0036] The arm 10 may be substantially L-shaped and / or may be arranged stationary while the two fitting parts 7, 8 move relative to one another.

[0037] The casing face 19 b of the casing 19 , from which at least one arm 10 projects laterally, extends substantially parallel to the plate 17 .

[0038] Preferably, the end face 19a of the casing 19 is specified to be substantially closed, in order to prevent the ingress of dirt into the casing 19 of the first fitting part 7 and to provide the end face 19a extending flush with the end face 17a of the plate 17 (FIG. 2b).

[0039] The casing 19 of the first fitting part 7 may be formed substantially in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped and / or may extend substantially in a plane parallel to the joint axis 9 .

[0040] In the illustrated embodiment, two joint levers 11, 20 are provided which are pivotably arranged on the joint shaft 9 on the one hand and on the second fitting part 8 on the other hand.

[0041] The first fitting part 7 of the fitting 6 can have at least one adjustment device 12 a , 13 a , 14 a with a movable adjustment element for adjusting the position of the arm 10 relative to the casing 19 .

[0042] Figure 3b shows the fitting 6 of Figure 3a in a side view.

[0043] The casing surface 19b has at least one, preferably circular, opening allowing access to at least one adjustment element of the adjustment device 12a, 13a, 14a, and / or at least one adjustment element of the adjustment device 12a, 13a, 14a is at least partially arranged in at least one opening in the casing surface 19b.

[0044] The adjusting devices 12a, 13a, 14a each have a rotatable adjusting element, and the position of the arm 10 relative to the casing 19 can be changed by rotating the adjusting element with a screwdriver.

[0045] Preferably, at least two, preferably three, adjusting devices 12a, 13a, 14a are provided. The position of the arm 10 relative to the casing 19 is adjustable in a first direction of movement by a first adjusting device 12a. The position of the arm 10 relative to the casing 19 is adjustable in a second direction of movement extending transversely to the first direction of movement by a second adjusting device 13a, 14a.

[0046] By way of example, it may be specified that by means of the first adjusting device 12a the position of the arm 10 relative to the casing 19 can be adjusted in the lateral direction. By means of the adjusting device 13a the position of the arm 10 relative to the casing 19 can be adjusted in the depth direction. By means of the adjusting device 14a the position of the arm 10 relative to the casing 19 can be adjusted in the height direction.

[0047] The first fitting part 7 may have at least one damping device 21 (FIGS. 4a, 4b) for damping the relative movement of the two fitting parts 7, 8 with respect to one another. The casing face 19b of the casing 19 may have at least one further opening 15 allowing access to a switching mechanism 15a by means of which the damping function of the damping device 21 can be deactivated or limited. Preferably, the switching mechanism 15a is rotatably supported, and it may be specified that the damping function of the damping device 21 can be deactivated or limited by rotating the switching mechanism 15a with a screwdriver.

[0048] The first fitting part 7 can have at least one mounting element 16a with which the first fitting part 7 can be mounted on or in the stationary structure 2. The casing surface 19b has for this purpose a further, preferably circular, opening allowing access to the mounting element 16a, and / or the at least one mounting element 16a is at least partially arranged in at least one further opening. Preferably, the mounting element 16a is rotatably supported, and it may be specified that the first fitting part 7 can be mounted on or in the stationary structure 2 by rotating the mounting element 16a with a screwdriver.

[0049] FIG. 4a shows the fitting 6 with both fitting parts 7, 8 in a perspective view.

[0050] The first fitting part 7 has at least one damping device 21 for damping the relative movement of the two fitting parts 7, 8 with respect to one another. The damping device 21 may have at least one, preferably cylindrical, cylinder-piston unit. Instead of a cylinder-piston unit, a rotary damping device may also be used.

[0051] Furthermore, the first fitting part 7 has at least one energy accumulator 22, preferably a spring element, and both fitting parts 7, 8 are movable relative to one another by the force of the energy accumulator 22 into a closed end position and / or into an open end position.

[0052] Figure 4b shows the fitting 6 of Figure 4a in another perspective view.

[0053] 5a shows a first possible use of the fitting 6. The first fitting part 7 is integrated into the stationary structure 2, preferably into a vertically extending plate 17 of the furniture cabinet 2a, while the second fitting part 8 is at least partly housed inside the swivel element 3.

[0054] 1a and 1b, the pivoting element 3 may have an outer frame 4 and a decorative plate 5, for example made of glass, arranged in the frame 4. In the illustrated embodiment, the second fitting part 8 of the fitting 6 is at least partially housed in the frame 4.

[0055] The joint axis 9 arranged on the arm 10 allows the swivel element 3 to be moved unhindered between the fully closed and fully open positions, especially when the plate 17 is in direct contact with the adjacent furniture cabinet 2a or with the room wall. In the fully closed position, the swivel element 3 at least partially, preferably substantially completely, shields the end face 17a of the plate 17.

[0056] 5b shows a second possible use of the fitting 6, in which two pivoting elements 3 are supported so as to be movable relative to the plate 17. A first fitting 6 is provided to support the first pivoting element 3, and a second fitting 6 is provided to support the second pivoting element 3, with a first fitting part 7 of one fitting 6 being integrated into a first side surface of the plate 17 and a first fitting part 7 of the other fitting 6 being integrated into a second side surface of the plate 17. The two fittings 6 are arranged mirror-symmetrically to each other and are spaced apart vertically in the plane of the plate 17. In the fully closed position, the two pivoting elements 3 at least partially shield the end face 17a of the plate 17, preferably by approximately half in each case.

[0057] 5c shows a third possibility of use of the fitting 6, in which the pivoting element 3 is oriented in the fully closed position so as to be substantially coplanar with the end face 17a of the plate 17 and / or the end face 19a of the casing 19 is visible in the closed state of the fitting 6. The end face 19a of the casing 19 of the first fitting part 7 extends substantially coplanar with the end face 17a of the plate 17, and the substantially closed end face 19a of the casing 19 is visible to the user in the closed state of the pivoting element 3.

[0058] It can be seen that the laterally projecting arms 10 of the fitting 6 can have different lengths for the three different use possibilities shown in Figures 5a to 5c.

[0059] A particular advantage of all embodiments is that, due to the bending of the arms 10, no machining of the swivel element 3 is necessary at the visible surface 23. The visible surface 23 of the swivel element 3, preferably of the frame 4, can therefore be configured without recesses or cutouts.

[0060] Figure 6a shows in a perspective view a piece of furniture 1 comprising a stationary structure 2 in the form of a furniture cabinet 2a and a swivel element 3 in the form of a movably supported furniture part 3a. The embodiment of furniture 1 shown in Figure 6a corresponds to the furniture shown in Figure 5c, in which the outer surface of the swivel element 3 is oriented substantially coplanar with the end face 17a of the plate 17 in the closed state of the swivel element 3.

[0061] Figure 6b shows an enlarged view of the circled area in Figure 6a. It can be seen that the end face 19a of the fitting 6 is closed and extends substantially flush with the end face 17a of the plate 17. In the closed state of the pivoting element 3, the end face 19a of the fitting 6 is visible.

[0062] Figure 6c shows a front view of the furniture 1, which corresponds to the structure of Figure 5b. Both pivoting elements 3 are pivotally supported by at least two brackets 6 on a vertically extending plate 17.

[0063] The first metal part 7 of the metal fitting 6 for supporting the first pivoting element 3 is integrated into the first side of the plate 17, while the first metal part 7 of the metal fitting 6 for supporting the second pivoting element 3 is integrated into the second side of the plate 17.

[0064] The first metal fitting part 7 for supporting the first pivoting element 3 and the first metal fitting part 7 for supporting the second pivoting element 3 are arranged on the plate 17 spaced apart from each other in the height direction.

[0065] The fitting 6 shown and described can be used not only as a furniture fitting for movably supporting a furniture part 3a that is supported movably relative to a furniture cabinet 2a, but also as a structural fitting for movably supporting a pivoting element 3 in the form of a window or door.
