Abstract
A corner fitting for a door element, in particular for a glass door element, includes first and second fitting elements, which each include, at least sectionwise, a locating portion, which includes an intermediate layer able to contact the door element. The fitting elements delimit the restraining area, wherein a holding element is in operative connection with a connecting element, which serves for supporting the door element on a center of rotation and/or an axis. At least one exchangeable rigid distancing element is disposed between the fitting elements outside the locating portions. The distancing element forms a counter-bearing to the locating portions and the door element which can be restrained in the restraining area.

A corner fitting for a door element including a first fitting element and a second fitting element, which each include, at least sectionwise, a locating portion, which comprises an intermediate layer able to contact with the door element, and the fitting elements delimit a restraining area, wherein a holding element is interconnected with a connecting element, which serves for supporting the door element on a center of rotation and/or an axis,
- wherein at least one exchangeable rigid distancing element is disposed between the first and second fitting elements and separate from the locating portions, wherein the distancing element forms a counter-bearing to the locating portions and the door element which can be restrained in the restraining area,
- wherein a free space in the shape of a recess extends along the longitudinal extension of the fitting elements, and the holding element is supported with a head part in the free space to be movable, wherein, in the fixing condition, the holding element with a resting portion, which is located at the head part, abuts against the free space.
A method for adjusting a corner fitting for a door element for accommodating different material thicknesses of the door element in the corner fitting, including a first fitting element and a second fitting element, which, each at least sectionwise, include a locating portion, which comprises an intermediate layer able to contact the door element, and the first and second fitting elements delimit a restraining area, wherein a holding element is interconnected with a connecting element, which serves for supporting the door element on a center of rotation and/or an axis, at least one distancing element is disposed on a mount between the first and second fitting elements and separate from the locating portions, wherein the distancing element forms a counter-bearing to the locating portions and the door element, which can be restrained in the restraining area,
- wherein the method includes the following steps are intended:
- 1) dismounting the first and second fitting elements,
- 2) removing the at least one distancing element from the mount,
- 3) inserting at least one new distancing element having a different material thickness into the mount,
- 4) mounting the first and second fitting elements.
