The invention further relates to a piece of furniture with a furniture body, at least one furniture part, preferably a furniture flap, which is movably mounted relative to the furniture body, preferably about a horizontal axis, and at least one, preferably exactly two, previously mentioned furniture fittings, wherein the first fitting part of the at least one furniture fitting is fastened to the furniture body and the second fitting part of the at least one furniture fitting is fastened to the movably mounted furniture part.

Furniture fittings according to the preamble of claim 1 are already known from the prior art. The furniture fittings are attached to a side wall of the furniture body using screws. EP 3 401 482 A1 reveals an example of such a furniture fitting.

A recent trend is to at least partially integrate the furniture fittings into a wall of the furniture body and/or the movable furniture part. In this case, fastening using screws is usually not possible for stability reasons and/or would impair the advantageous aesthetic appearance brought about by the integration.

The object of the present invention is to provide a furniture fitting which is improved compared to the prior art and a piece of furniture with at least to provide such a furniture fitting in which the aforementioned disadvantages are at least partially eliminated, wherein the furniture fitting, in particular in the case of at least partial integration, enables secure and stable storage of at least one furniture part on the furniture body without impairing the aesthetic appearance.

This object is achieved by the features of claims 1 and 14.

In the furniture fitting according to the invention, it is thus provided that the furniture fitting comprises at least one fastening device for fastening the at least one fitting part in the recess, wherein the at least one fastening device comprises at least one rotatably mounted actuating element and at least two fastening elements that can be at least partially retracted into a wall of the recess and/or pressed against the wall, wherein a coupling device is provided with which a rotary movement of the at least one actuating element can be converted into a retracting movement and/or into a pressing movement of the at least two pressing elements, wherein the at least one actuating element and the at least two fastening elements are arranged on the same side of the at least one fitting part and spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction of the at least one fitting part, wherein the side is a longitudinal side.

The furniture fitting therefore already comprises at least one fastening device with which the at least one fitting part, and thus the furniture fitting as a whole, can be fastened in the recess in the furniture body or in the movably mounted furniture part. Additional screws or the like are not necessary.

By means of the at least two fastening elements, the at least one fitting part can be securely and stably fastened in the recess without this being visible from the outside.

In addition, apart from the recess itself, no further fastening holes or the like are necessary, which is particularly advantageous in industrial furniture production.

Because the at least two fastening elements are arranged on the same side, preferably on a longitudinal side, of the at least one fitting part and spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction of the at least one fitting part, the at least one fitting part can also be securely and stably fastened over a large area of the wall of the recess.

A further advantage is that the fastening of at least one fitting part and thus of the furniture fitting as a whole is possible by simply operating the at least one actuating element. In comparison, in the prior art, several actuating elements must be operated at different points on the furniture fitting in order to carry out fastening. On the one hand, this is associated with an increased expenditure of time. On the other hand, there is a risk that one of the actuating elements is not operated or is only operated incompletely, so that the furniture fitting is not attached correctly.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

It has proven to be particularly advantageous that at least one overload protection device is provided to limit a tightening torque of the at least one actuating element. This can ensure that the furniture fitting or a part thereof and/or the furniture body and/or the furniture part is not damaged by the fastening.

The overload protection can be implemented, for example, in that the at least one actuating element is constructed from at least two parts, wherein the at least two parts are at least partially in frictional contact with one another below a predetermined tightening torque, so that a torque can be transmitted between the at least two parts, and wherein the contact can be at least partially eliminated when the predetermined tightening torque is exceeded, so that essentially no torque can be transmitted between the at least two parts.

In this context, it has proven to be advantageous that one of the at least two parts of the at least one actuating element is designed as a threaded sleeve and the other of the at least two parts is rotatably mounted at least in regions within the threaded sleeve, and/or wherein at least one spring, preferably a compression spring, is provided, via which the at least two parts can be held in contact with a predetermined force, and/or at least one friction surface with increased friction is provided, via which the at least two parts are at least partially in frictional contact below the predetermined tightening torque.

For soft materials, such as chipboard or soft wood, the first component is made of hard material and for hard materials, such as hard wood or MDF board, the second component is made of soft material. In this way, optimal fastening in the corresponding recess can be achieved regardless of the material quality of the furniture body or the furniture part.

An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that at least one follow-up force storage device is provided, which applies a follow-up force to the at least two fastening elements at least in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the at least one fitting part, so that the at least two fastening elements can be sunk into the wall of the recess at least in some areas and/or pressed against the wall with a time delay after a first fastening of the at least one fitting part in the recess. Once the furniture fitting has been mounted on the furniture body or on the furniture part, it can happen that the fastening elements become loose again due to the movement of the furniture fitting or due to other circumstances. In order to counteract this effect, it is advisable to provide the follow-up force storage device described.

The follow-up force storage device can be arranged between a counter element, preferably with a counter thread, for the at least one actuating element and a carrier on which the at least two fastening elements are arranged.

The Figures 3a) to 6b ) show a first preferred embodiment of a furniture fitting 1, which comprises a fastening device 7 for fastening the fitting part 4 of the furniture fitting 1 in the recess 6.

The fastening device 7 comprises a rotatably mounted actuating element 8 and in a wall 9 of the recess 6 retractable and fastening elements 10 which can be pressed onto the wall 9 of the recess 6.

The fastening elements 10 and can be designed as pivoting levers as in the case shown.

The fastening elements 10 comprise a cutting tooth 21, which can be essentially triangular in cross-section. The fastening elements 11 also comprise a contact surface 62 that can be aligned essentially parallel to the wall 9 of the recess 6.

The fastening elements 10 are rotatably mounted about a rotation axis 17, which is aligned substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 14 of the at least one fitting part 4.

In this and the other embodiments shown, the fastening elements 10 can be rotated in the same direction of rotation about the axis of rotation 17 during the countersinking movement and/or the pressing movement. According to alternative embodiments, it can be provided that the fastening elements can be rotated in opposite directions of rotation about the axis of rotation during the countersinking movement and/or the pressing movement.

A coupling device 12 is provided, with which a rotary movement of the actuating element 8 can be converted into a sinking movement of the cutting elements 21 and into a pressing movement of the pressing elements 62.

The actuating element 8 and the fastening elements 10 are arranged on a same side 13, namely on a lower longitudinal side, of the fitting part 4 and spaced from one another in a longitudinal direction 14 of the fitting part 4.

An opening 33 is arranged on an end face 32 of the fitting part 4, via which the actuating element 8 of the fastening device 7 can be actuated, even when the actuating arm 29 is arranged in a closed position.

The actuating element 8 is designed as a screw and has a tool holder 15 for actuation by means of a tool. The actuating element 8 is mounted about a rotation axis 16 which is aligned essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction 14 of the fitting part 4.

The screw can engage in a counter element 55 with a counter thread. The actuating element 8 can be mounted on a counter bearing 61.

The fastening device 7 has a carrier 23 which can be moved via the actuating element 8 and on which the fastening elements 10 are arranged.

The carrier 23 is aligned in its longitudinal extension substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction 14 of the fitting part 4 and is designed as a tension element which is adjustable in the longitudinal direction 14 of the fitting part 4.

The carrier 23 is movable relative to the fastening elements 10. For this purpose, for example, an elongated hole 53 can be provided.

Bolt-shaped deflection elements 20 are provided, via which the fastening elements 10 can be deflected at least in a direction 19 transverse to the longitudinal direction 14 of the fitting part 4.

As in the case shown, the deflection elements 20 can each engage in a guide track 52, which can be designed to be open on one side.

As can be seen particularly from a comparison of the Figures 6a) and 6b ), the support 23 can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction 14 of the fitting part 4 by actuating the actuating element 8. The fastening elements 10 are pivoted in the direction of the wall 9 of the recess 6 and are sunk into the wall 9 at least in part. At the same time, the pressing surface 62 is aligned essentially parallel to the wall 9 and pressed against the wall 9 of the recess 6. The fastening elements 10 fasten the fitting part 4 in the recess 6.

The fitting part 4 has a first longitudinal side 13 on which the fastening elements 10 are arranged, wherein the fitting part 4 has a second longitudinal side 26 which is opposite the first longitudinal side 13 and on which further fastening elements 27 are arranged. The further fastening elements 27 are connected to the fitting part 4 in a movement-coupled manner and can be sunk into an opposite wall 28 of the recess 6 by the countersinking movement of the cutting elements 21 arranged on the first longitudinal side 13 and the pressing movement of the pressing elements 62 arranged on the first longitudinal side 13 (compare the two upper enlarged sections of the Figures 3b ) and 4b )).

Due to the countersinking movement of the cutting elements 21 and the pressing movement of the pressing elements 62, the furniture fitting 1 is movable in the vertical direction 40 by 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm and essentially immobile in the horizontal direction 41.

The Figures 7a) to 7c ) show a second preferred embodiment of a furniture fitting 1.

In this embodiment, the fastening elements 10 are rotatably mounted about a rotation axis 25 which is aligned substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction 14 of the fitting part 4.

In this case, too, the fastening elements 10 comprise cutting elements in the form of a cutting edge 22. Furthermore, pressing elements 11 are provided, which are designed as pressing surfaces 62 that can be aligned essentially parallel to the wall 9 of the recess 6.

A carrier 23 is provided, the longitudinal extent of which is aligned essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction 14 of the fitting part 4.

The cutting elements 22 and pressing elements 62 are arranged eccentrically on the carrier 23 and on common radial elevations 56.

The fastening of the fitting part 4 is carried out by actuating the actuating element 8, which causes the carrier 23 and thus the cutting elements 22 and pressing elements 62 arranged thereon to be rotated about the rotation axis 24 or 25. Due to the eccentric arrangement, when the carrier 23 is rotated, the distance between the cutting elements 22 and pressing elements 62 and the wall 9 of the recess 6 is reduced until they are at least partially sunk into the wall 9 and pressed against the wall 9.

In this embodiment and in the other two embodiments, the actuating arm 29 is formed from several articulated levers 58, which can be pivoted about articulated axes 59. It is advisable to design the actuating arm 29 in the form of a 7-joint arrangement as in the case shown.

The actuating arm 29 is connected to the force accumulator 31 via a force transmission lever 60.

An adjustment device 51 is provided, by means of which the magnitude of the force with which the actuating arm 29 can be acted upon can be adjusted.

Furthermore, as in the case shown, a damper 54 can be provided for damping the movement of the actuating arm 29, in particular for damping the movement of the actuating arm 29 into the closed position and/or into an open end position.

The Figures 8a) to 8c ) show a third preferred embodiment of a furniture fitting 1.

The overload protection is realized in that the actuating element 8 is constructed from two parts 63, 64, wherein the two parts 63, 64 are in frictional contact with one another in regions below a predetermined tightening torque, so that a torque can be transmitted between the two parts 63, 64, and wherein the contact can be at least partially eliminated when the predetermined tightening torque is exceeded, so that essentially no torque can be transmitted between the two parts 63, 64.

One of the two parts 63, 64 of the actuating element 8, namely the part provided with the reference number 63, is designed as a threaded sleeve. The other part provided with the reference number 64 is partially rotatably mounted within the threaded sleeve.

A spring 65, which in the illustrated case is designed as a compression spring, is provided, by means of which the two parts 63, 64 can be held in contact with a predetermined force.

A friction surface 66 with increased friction is provided, via which the two parts 63, 64 are in frictional contact in some areas below the predetermined tightening torque. The friction surface 66 is arranged on a front side of the part 64 and is in contact with an inner surface of the threaded sleeve 63 below the predetermined tightening torque. This The inner surface can also have increased friction. The increased friction of the friction surface 66 and/or the inner surface of the threaded sleeve 63 can be achieved by a surface structure, eg a corrugation or the like.

In this and the previously described embodiments, the fastening elements 10 comprise both at least one cutting element in the form of a cutting tooth 21 or a cutting edge 22 and at least one pressing element in the form of at least one pressing surface 62 that can be aligned substantially parallel to the wall 9 of the recess 6.

In the first three embodiments, the at least one cutting element 21, 22 and the at least one pressing element 62 are integrally connected to the fastening elements 10.
