A connecting fixture serves to detachably connect two abutting platelike furniture parts, which preferably extend at right angles to each other. Two fixture elements are secured to respective furniture elements to be connected. The first fixture element has an undercut-defining portion, which may be in the form of a step, a backing edge, or a mushroom-shaped head. The second fixture element has a spring detent lever for releasably engaging the undercut portion and holding the elements together. The safety of the connecting fixture is increased in that it can selectively be locked by rigidly cooperating connecting means. For that purpose a spring which biases the detent lever is held under an initial stress between the detent lever and an abutment portion of the second fixture element. The abutment is movable between a position for engaging and locking the lever in its detent position and a position in which it releases the detent lever to be biased by the spring.
A connecting fixture for detachably connecting two abutting platelike furniture parts, which fixture comprises two fixture elements, a first of said fixture elements having an undercut-defining portion and a second of the fixture element adapted to be interlocked with the first element by a hook-shaped end portion of a pivoted, spring-biased detent lever on the second element engaging said undercut portion;
