Patent ID: 7389564

Claim:
A furniture fitting, comprising a retaining pail ( 36 ), a clamping element ( 48 ), a frame section ( 16 ) having a groove ( 20 ) defined therein extending in a longitudinal direction, the frame section for receiving the retaining part ( 36 ), the groove ( 20 ) is narrowed by two parallel shoulders ( 22 a , 22 b ), each shoulder having an end face ( 24 a , 24 b ) facing one another, the retaining part ( 36 ) has an integral flange portion ( 38 ) supported by the shoulders ( 22 a , 22 b ), the retaining part ( 36 ) has a bore ( 44 ) defined therein for receiving the clamping element ( 48 ), the clamping element ( 48 ) having a shank ( 46 ) which extends into the groove ( 20 ) to releasably attach the retaining part ( 36 ) to the frame section ( 16 ), when released the retaining part ( 36 ) being longitudinally displaceable along the groove ( 20 ), and wherein the retaining part ( 36 ) has adjacent to the bore ( 44 ) a strip-shaped projection ( 40 ) protruding substantially perpendicularly from a first surface of the flange portion ( 38 ) and a locking tab ( 42 ) extending into the groove ( 20 ), one of the shoulders ( 22 a , 22 b ) being received between the first surface of the flange portion ( 38 ) and the locking tab ( 42 ), and wherein the shank ( 46 ) is mounted so as to pivot in the bore ( 44 ) in the flange portion ( 38 ), the dimensions of the strip-shaped projection ( 40 ) and the shank ( 46 ) together as measured above the locking tab ( 42 ) is essentially equal to a distance between the end faces ( 24 a , 24 b ) of the shoulders ( 22 a , 22 b ), and wherein the shank ( 46 ) has, in an area defined between the end faces ( 24 a , 24 b ) of the shoulders ( 22 a , 22 b ), a flat surface ( 50 ) which reduces a diameter of the shank ( 46 ) by at least an amount by which the locking tab ( 42 ) protrudes from the strip-shaped projection ( 40 ) towards the one of the shoulders, and a pair of walls ( 62 ) offset from one another and extending substantially perpendicularly relative to a second surface of the flange portion ( 38 ) of the retaining part ( 36 ); between the walls ( 62 ) a wing-shaped end of at least one hinge linkage ( 32 , 34 ) of a furniture hinge ( 26 ) is mounted so as to pivot on a bearing lug retained in at least one bore ( 64 , 66 ) defined in the walls ( 62 ).
