Abstract
A furniture fitting for moving a furniture part movably supported relative to a furniture carcass includes a first fitting portion to be fixed to a furniture carcass, and a second fitting portion to be fixed to a movable furniture part. The second fitting portion is pivotally connected to the first fitting portion, and a limiting device limits an opening angle of a relative pivoting movement of the first and second fitting portion. The limiting device includes at least one movably mounted actuating element, and the opening angle can be adjusted by a manual or by a tool-assisted actuation of the actuating element.
Claims13
A furniture fitting for moving a furniture part movably supported relative to a furniture carcass, comprising:
- a first fitting portion configured to be fixed to the furniture carcass;
- a second fitting portion configured to be fixed to the movable furniture part, wherein the second fitting portion is pivotally connected to the first fitting portion;
- a limiting device for limiting an opening angle of a relative pivoting movement of the first and second fitting portion;
- and
- a first lever and a second lever, wherein the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion are pivotally connected to one another by the first and second levers,
- wherein the limiting device includes
- an abutment configured to be supported on the second lever so as to limit the opening angle, and
- an actuating element movably mounted on the first lever, the actuating element being coupled to the abutment and configured to adjust a position of the abutment by a manual or tool-assisted actuation of the actuating element to thereby adjust the opening angle,
- wherein the second lever includes a U-shaped profiled portion when viewed along a length direction of the second lever, the U-shaped profiled portion having two limbs, and the abutment is configured to be supported on at least one of the limbs of the U-shaped profiled portion,
- and wherein the abutment is configured to be supported on a narrowest side of the at least one of the limbs, wherein the narrowest side defines a thickness of a material which forms the second lever.
