Abstract

A furniture fitting for connecting two furniture parts includes a dowel for fastening the furniture fitting to one of the two furniture parts, and an expansion element mounted for movement relative to the dowel. The dowel can be transferred from a first release position into a clamping position by a relative movement of the expansion element. A fitting body has a connecting device for connecting the furniture fitting to the other of the two furniture parts, the fitting body being connected to the expansion element such that the dowel can be moved from the first release position into the clamping position by a rotational or pivoting movement of the fitting body in a first actuation direction. The dowel can be moved from the clamping position into a second release position by a continuation of the rotational or pivoting movement of the fitting body in the first actuation direction.

Dependent claims

A furniture fitting for connecting two furniture parts, the furniture fitting comprising:

a dowel for fixing the furniture fitting to a first one of the two furniture parts,
a spreader element mounted movably relative to the dowel, wherein the dowel is transferable from a first release position into a clamping position by a relative movement of the spreader element, and
a fitting body having a connecting device for connecting the furniture fitting to a second one of the two furniture parts,
wherein the spreader element is rotatably mounted to the fitting body and is axially displaceable within the dowel,
wherein the fitting body is connected to the spreader element such that:
the dowel is movable from the first release position into the clamping position by a rotary or pivotal movement of the fitting body in a first actuation direction and by a resulting axial movement of the spreader element, and
the dowel is movable from the clamping position into a second release position different from the first release position by a continuation of the rotary or pivotal movement of the fitting body in the first actuation direction.
