Description

FITTING The present invention relates to a fitting, especially for mounting wall cupboards, comprising a mounting plate on which a cut-out section is provided, into which an eccentric disk having an opening is inserted, a screw extending through said opening, and/or an angle fitting in particular for the mounting of wall furniture according to the preambles of claims 16 and 25, as well as a multi-part fitting according to the preamble of claim 34, in particular for wall mounting, comprising a first fitting part which can be mounted by means of fastening means on a second fitting part, wherein the fitting parts are made from metal sheet by stamping and bending, as well as a method for producing a multi-part fitting. DE 79 30 056 discloses a suspension apparatus for furniture in which a suspension hook can be mounted on a hook fixed to the wall, which hook has a slot through which a screw passes. The screw engages in a screw sleeve which comprises a thread on the outer side and is mounted eccentrically on a washer. The washer can in turn be fixed in a torsion proof manner on a hanger so that an adjustment in three directions, i.e. laterally, vertically and depthwise is possible due to the suspension apparatus. However, the suspension apparatus is composed of many individual parts being relatively complex and assembly is consequently expensive. 2688329_1 (GHMattesn) P87100.AU - 2 Known from DE 1 901 685 is a multi-part fitting for suspending a wall cupboard in which two fitting parts can be held on one another by means of screws. In the fitting parts openings are partly formed as elongate holes so that a certain possibility for adjustment exists. The manufacture of the fitting parts from a metal sheet has the disadvantage that the fitting parts are relatively heavy and expensive to manufacture. Another disadvantage with this fitting is that the individual fitting parts must be supplied loose to a packaging unit and care must be taken to ensure that the correct fitting parts are assigned to one another. It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a fitting which is easy to manufacture and allows rapid assembly whilst retaining scope for adjustment. In addition, an angle fitting is to be provided which is simple to manufacture and which can be adjusted horizontally and vertically. Furthermore a multi-part fitting is to be provided in which a simple and reliable assignment of the fitting parts is ensured and an efficient method for manufacturing the same. This object is achieved with fittings having the features of claims 1, 16, 25 and 34 and with a method having the features of claim 41. According to the invention, the opening on the eccentric disk is designed in such a manner that the eccentric disk can be placed on the shank of a wall-mounted screw having a screw head and the mounting plate can be vertically and 2888329.1 (GHMatters) P87106 AU - 3 horizontally adjusted relative to the screw by rotating the eccentric disk. As a result, the screw can be pre-mounted on the wall and the user can mount the mounting plate and the eccentric disk on the pre-mounted screw so that only a few mounting steps are necessary. In addition, a height and lateral adjustment can be made by means of the eccentric screw so that an exact positioning can be made with few components. Preferably the opening is disposed eccentrically to a central point of an annular edge of the eccentric disk. The opening can have various shapes, for example, it can be configured to be circular itself or it can have a contour deviating from circular. Preferably the opening has at least a broadened section for passage of a screw head and a narrower section for receiving a shank of a screw. A particularly exact positioning of the mounting plate can then take place, particularly if the narrower section on the eccentric disk serves to receive the shank of the screw and is disposed off-centre on the eccentric disk. In order to simplify the mounting of the eccentric disk, an opening can be provided, which has a channel open towards the outer side. The channel extends in a radial direction so that after screwing in the screw a screw shank can be inserted into the opening through the channel. As a result, the eccentric disk can be formed relatively stably largely of solid material. By roughening the contact surfaces between the eccentric disk and the mounting plate, the self-inhibition of the 2588329_1 (GHMatters) PB7106.AU - 4 pairing can be increased. Alternatively, profilings can be applied to the contact surfaces. According to one embodiment, the eccentric disk has a tool holder for engagement with a tool, preferably a screwdriver. As a result, a simple fine adjustment can be made by turning the eccentric disk with a tool. The eccentric disk can thereby be guided clamping to the cut out section of the mounting plate. The eccentric disk preferably has an annular section which is inserted in the cut-out section on the mounting plate, the eccentric disk additionally comprising a flange section which protrudes radially outwards over the annular section as a stop. By this means the insertion depth of the eccentric screw can be precisely predefined. In addition, a fluting can be provided on the annular section, which at least on opposite sides abuts against an edge of the cut out section. As a result, the eccentric disk can be fixed in a clamping manner or by means of positive and/or non positive means. In order to enable easy lateral adjustment, the cut-out section can be formed as an elongate hole in the mounting plate. As a result, the eccentric disk can be positioned at different positions of the elongate hole to align the mounting plate relative to the screw so that a large adjustment path is provided. For easy manufacture of the mounting plate, this is formed by bending and stamping a metal sheet and comprises an edge on the cut-out section which is formed by a bent 2688329_1 (GHMatters) P87108.AU - 5 projection. Such a projection can be formed by a bent strip-shaped peripheral section. In an advantageous embodiment, the mounting plate is formed as a component of a mounting angle. In this case, the mounting angle can be mounted on an inner wall of a furniture body, which can be used in particular for wall cupboards. In order to have sufficient stability, the eccentric disk can be formed as a casting of metal or plastic. According to the invention, in the angle fitting according to claim 16 the first and second plate-shaped section are substantially made of plastic, wherein on the first plate shaped section there is provided a metal mounting plate having an opening for passage of a fastening means. As a result, the region subjected to higher mechanical loading by fastening means can be formed by a relatively small mounting plate, whilst the regions having a lower mechanical loading are made of inexpensive plastic material which can be formed with greater wall thickness to avoid sharp-edged webs. By using a mixture of plastic material and a metal mounting plate, the intrinsic weight of such an angle fitting is also reduced appreciably. The metal mounting plate is preferably embedded in plastic material at the edge. In this case, the metal mounting plate can be disposed flush with the plastic material on a back of the angle fitting so that the mounting plate can be pressed via a fastening means with high force against a 268329.1 (GHMatters) P87108.AU -6 wall and consequently, mechanical stresses can be effectively removed without stressing the plastic material. In one embodiment of the invention, the latching plate is held adjustably in height on the latching means on the first plate-shaped section. As a result, the angle fitting can easily be adjusted in height. The latching plate can have an opening for passage of a fastening means so that both the latching plate and also the angle fitting can be held via this fastening means. The opening on the latching plate can be configured to be T-shaped, a horizontally aligned elongate hole being provided, which also enables the angle fitting to be adjusted in the horizontal direction relative to the fastening means. The metal mounting plate preferably forms a counter bearing for the latching plate. As a result, the latching plate can be pressed with higher force against the mounting plate by the fastening means without there being any need to fear any overstressing of the material. The latching means are preferably formed as teeth, ribs or grooves for a possibility of fine adjustment. In this case, it is advantageous if the latching plate has teeth arranged on opposite sides on the front, which can be brought into engagement with teeth on the first plate-shaped section. By this means a height adjustment can be made with a fine grid size, whereby weight loads which occur are distributed over a plurality of teeth. According to the invention, the plate-shaped section of the angle fitting according to claim 25 has at least one 2688329_1 (GHMatters) P87106.AU opening which comprises at least one horizontally aligned elongate hole and a connecting section having a broadening for passage of a broadened head of the fastening means, in particular a screw head. As a result, a possibility for adjustment in both the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction is provided since the user can freely select at which position of the elongate hole the screw is fixed. There is therefore no need to configure the fitting as multi-part. The opening preferably comprises at least two horizontally aligned elongate holes which are each interconnected via a connecting section having a common broadening for passage of a broadened head of the fastening means. The two elongate holes can be mirrored on a plane perpendicular to the bending axis of the angle fitting in such a manner that the elongate holes are arranged at a distance from the mirror plane. In one embodiment, two spaced-apart openings are incorporated in the first plate-shaped section, which are mirrored on a plane perpendicular to the bending axis in such a manner that the elongate holes are each arranged on the side of the mirror plane. As a result, an effective alignment of the angle fitting relative to the fastening means can take place, wherein a plurality of fastening means can also be mounted on the plate-shaped section. The connecting section is preferably disposed substantially centrally so that after inserting the shank of the screw into the elongate hole, this can optionally be guided in 2688329_1 (GHMatter) P87106 AU - 8 one or the other direction. In addition, the plate-shaped section remains comparatively stable. In one embodiment of the invention, the opening is configured symmetrically to the two central lines of the plate-shaped section. The plate-shaped section has a rectangular shape, where the arrangement of the opening in such a manner that the opening is disposed symmetrically to the two central lines enables the angle fitting to be inserted both on a right and on a left side. There is therefore no need to provide two fittings for the different sides of a furniture body. In a further embodiment of the invention, two openings formed symmetrically to the two central lines of the plate shaped section are configured so that this embodiment can also be used for a right and left side of a furniture body. The angle fitting preferably further comprises a second plate-shaped section having at least one opening designed as an elongate hole for fastening means, which for example are used for fixing a furniture body. The furniture body can be adjusted vertically by means of these openings. According to the invention according to claim 34, the fitting parts are manufactured by stamping and bending from a metal sheet, wherein the first fitting part is detachably connected to the second fitting part via predetermined breaking points. As a result, the two fitting parts form a pre-assembled unit which requires no further assignment of individual fitting parts. On the contrary, this pre assembled unit can be placed in a packaging and it is 2585329.1 (GHMatters) P87106.AU - 9 ensured that the user can always use both fitting parts at a later time. For this the two fitting parts are merely separated from one another via the pre-determined breaking point. In addition, the multi-part fitting can be effectively produced in one operation. In one embodiment of the invention, in the separated position the first fitting part is adjustable in height relative to the second fitting part. Additionally or alternatively in this position the first fitting part can be horizontally adjustable relative to the second fitting part so that a positional adaptation can be made both horizontally and vertically. This is particularly advantageous for wall mounting furniture since an alignment of the second fitting part can then be made when the fastening means is already mounted. For the alignment of the first fitting part, this comprises at least one strip shaped projection. A plate-shaped section can be formed on the second fitting part, on which a plurality of ribs and grooves are provided, on which the first fitting part can be fixed. As a result, the second fitting part can be fixed on the first fitting part by means of simple mechanical means. In this case, respectively at least one opening can be provided in the first and the second fitting part, having a screw passing therethrough so that only the screw need be mounted on a wall and then the fitting parts can be aligned relative to one another. The second fitting part is preferably configured as an angle and a first plate-shaped section can be mounted on a wall and a second plate-shaped section can be fixed on a furniture body. 268329_1 (GHMatters) P87106.AU - 10 In the method according to the invention according to claim 41, a metal sheet, preferably supplied via a coil, is supplied to a stamping and bending station. A multi-part fitting is then produced by stamping and bending, wherein the individual fitting parts are detachably interconnected via predetermined breaking points. As a result, a cohesive multi-part fitting is created in only one operation. The invention is explained in detail hereinafter by means of a plurality of exemplary embodiments with reference to the appended drawings.

Figure 19 shows an exploded view of a further fitting according to the invention before mounting, and Figures 20 to 22 show several views of the fitting from Figure 19. A wall cupboard comprises a furniture body 1 comprising a rear wall 2 and a side wall 3. Mounted in the corner region between rear wall 2 and side wall 3 is a fitting 10 according to the invention, where a mounting plate 11 is supported on a rear wall 2. A fastening plate 12 formed integrally with the mounting plate 11 has openings 13 in which fastening means for fixing the side wall 3 to the fitting 10 are inserted. 2688329_1 (GHMatter) P87106 AU - 13 As can be seen from Figures 2A and 2B, the fitting 10 comprises a cut-out section 14 on the mounting plate 11, which is configured as an elongate hole and has a bent edge 15 projecting from the plane of the mounting plate 11. The edge 15 comprises straight sections 16 on opposite sides, which are uniformly curved at front sides 17. The mounting plate 11 is connected to the fastening plate 12 via a bending edge 18, webs 19 projecting from the bending edge 18 on the upper side and lower side being formed, by which means a cover 30 can be locked in position. For this purpose the cover 30 comprises snap-in lugs 31 which grip behind the webs 19. An eccentric disk 20 which is manufactured as a casting, in particular of metal or plastic, is provided for alignment of the mounting plate 11 relative to a screw. The eccentric disk 20 comprises an annular edge 21 having a fluting formed on its outer side. The circumference of the annular edge 21 substantially corresponds to the distance of the straight sections 16 of the bent edge 15. Furthermore, a flange section 22 projecting radially over the annular edge 21 is formed in the eccentric disk 20, which serves as a stop and can be applied to the edge 15 on the cut-out section 14. The eccentric disk 20 further comprises an opening 23 which has a broadened section 26 for passage of a screw head of a screw and a narrower section 25 which is configured as hemispherical and serves to receive a shank of a screw. As shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the eccentric disk 20 is inserted in the cut-out section 14 such that the annular 2658329_1 (GHMatters) P87100.AU - 14 section 21 abuts against the edge 15. The eccentric disk 20 can be simply turned by means of a tool holder 24 which is configured as a cross-shaped slot. For mounting firstly a screw 40 is fixed to a wall. The fitting 10 mounted on the furniture body 1 is then moved over the screw 40 such that the screw head is located in the cut-out section 14. The eccentric disk 20 is then placed on the screw 40, the screw head being inserted through the broadened section 26 of the opening 23. The eccentric disk 20 is then moved so that the narrower section 25 is placed around the shank of the screw 40. The eccentric disk 20 can now be turned or displaced for alignment of the position of the mounting plate 11 relative to the screw 40. For a turning movement a tool is placed in the tool holder 24 and the eccentric disk 20 is then turned so that a height adjustment can be made, as is shown for example by the two positions in Figures 5A and 5C. In addition, it is also possible to merely displace the eccentric disk 20 relative to the mounting plate 11 as shown by the different positions in Figures 5A to 5C. In the embodiment shown the opening 23 in the eccentric disk 20 is formed so that a broader section is used for passage of the screw head and a narrower section forms a receptacle for the shank of the screw 40. Such a receptacle is not absolutely essential since the eccentric disk 20 can also be held at the edge of the opening 23 by weight forces on the shank of the screw 40. In addition, recesses can be 2688329_1 (GHMatter) P87106.AU - 15 formed at the edge of the opening 23 to ensure locking in position of the shank of the screw 40 in the opening 23. Figures 6A to 6C show another fitting 10 which, as in the preceding exemplary embodiment, comprises a mounting plate 11 and a fastening plate 12 formed integrally thereto at an angle. In the mounting plate 11 a cut-out section 14 is formed as an elongate hole at which a bent edge 15 is provided. The mounting plate 11 corresponds in shape to the preceding exemplary embodiment. A modified eccentric disk 20' can be mounted at the cut-out section 14, which has an annular edge 21' having a smaller diameter than an annular flange section 22'. As a result, the eccentric disk 20' is step-shaped, where the annular edge 21' can be placed on the bent edge 15 on the cut-out section 14. The projecting flange section 22' abuts against the bent edge 15 at the front. The eccentric disk 20' comprises an off-centre opening 23' which serves to receive a shank of a screw 40'. The opening 23' has an outwardly open channel 25' which has the same width as the diameter of the opening 23'. A stepped receptacle 26' is formed at the opening 23' so that the head of the screw 40' can be received in the receptacle 26'. The receptacle 26' allows guidance of the eccentric disk 20' during a turning movement. In addition, the eccentric disk 20' is secured against falling down during assembly. A tool holder 24' in the form of a cross-shaped slot is further formed on the eccentric disk 20'. 2688329_l (GHManers) P87106.AU - 16 As can be seen in Figures 7A and 7B, a screw 40' is initially fixed to the wall for mounting. The fitting 10 mounted on the furniture body 1 is then placed with the cut-out section 14 over the screw 40', the screw head 40' being located at a distance from the wall. The eccentric disk 20' is then inserted in the cut-out section 14 so that the annular edge 21' comes to rest on the bent edge 15. The shank of the screw 40' is then inserted into the opening 23' via the channel 25' so that the position shown in Figure 7B is reached. The eccentric disk 20' is then turned anticlockwise according to 7C for downward height adjustment so that the screw 40' is now located in an upper region of the recess 14. As a result, the mounting plate 11 moves downwards relative to the screw 40'. When adjusting the height upwards, according to Figure 7D, the eccentric disk 20' is turned clockwise so that the screw 40' is located in a lower region of the cut-out section 14. The mounting plate 11 and the wall cupboard fastened thereon accordingly moves upwards relative to the screw 40'. Figures 8A to 8C show a modified embodiment of a fitting compared with the preceding exemplary embodiment in which a mounting plate 11' comprises a cut-out section 14 which has a bent edge 15'. Profilings 15" in the form of cut-out sections or embossings are provided at the edge 15', which can be brought into engagement with corresponding profilings 20"' on an eccentric disk 20". As a result, a 2688329_1 (GHMatlers) P8710 AU - 17 torsion-proof connection is obtained between the eccentric disk 20" and the edge 15' of the mounting plate 11'. As in the preceding exemplary embodiment, the eccentric disk 20" comprises an opening 23' with an outwardly open channel 25' so that mounting is otherwise the same. A locking in predetermined positions can be achieved by the profilings 15" and 20"'. In the other exemplary embodiments shown, the receptacle 26' for the screw head can also be formed on the eccentric disks 20 and 20". An angle fitting 101 shown in Fig. 9 comprises a first plate-shaped section 102 on which a metal mounting plate 115, preferably made of steel sheet, is located. A rectangular opening 103 is left in the mounting plate 115. Adjacent to the metal mounting plate 115, latching means 104 are provided on the first plate-shaped section 102, which are used for fixing a latching plate 105. The latching plate 105 is substantially plate-shaped and comprises latching means 106 in the form of teeth on opposite vertically aligned front sides. A T-shaped opening 116 is further left on the latching plate 105. Apart from the metal mounting plate 115, the angle fitting 101 consists of plastic and comprises a first plate-shaped section 102 and a second plate-shaped section 107 located at an angle thereto. The second plate-shaped section 107 2M8329_1 (GHMatters) P87106AU - 18 has a plurality of openings 108 for passage of fastening means, for example, for fixing to a furniture body. The angle fitting 10 further comprises an angular cover 109 which has a first snap-in lug 110 which can be inserted in a latching cut-out section 111 on the second plate-shaped section 107. In addition, a snap-in lug 112 is formed on the cover 109 which can be inserted in a corresponding latching receptacle 113 on the first plate-shaped section 102. As can be seen from Figure 10, the second plate-shaped section 107 has cavities and reinforcing webs 114 on a back side so that the material usage is small relative to the volume of the second plate-shaped section 107. Both the second plate-shaped section 107 and the first plate-shaped section 102 are made of plastic, preferably by injection moulding, where the metal mounting plate 115 is overmoulded. An outer side of the mounting plate 115 thereby terminates flush with an outer side of the first plate-shaped section 102. For mounting the angle fitting 101, a screw 120 is firstly fixed on a wall, the screw head being located at a distance from the wall. The angle fitting 101 is then placed on the screw 120, the screw 120 passing through the opening 103 on the mounting plate 115. The user can now grasp the latching plate 105 for alignment of the angle fitting 101 and raise the angle fitting 101 and mount the latching plate 105 on the mounting plate 115. For this purpose the latching plate 105 is initially pushed onto the shank of the screw 120 (Figure 12) until the shank of the screw 120 is located in 2688329_1 (GHMatters) P87106.AU - 19 the region of the horizontal elongate hole of the opening 116 (Figure 13). Now the desired horizontal position of the angle fitting 101 relative to the screw 120 can first be adjusted. Then a vertical alignment is made where the laterally disposed latching means 106 of the latching plate 105 are brought into engagement with the latching means 104 on the plate-shaped section 102. Depending on the alignment of the latching plate 105, a fixing of the latching plate 105 can be made at different height relative to the first plate-shaped section 102. The screw 120 is then tightened slightly to fix the adjusted position. However, no high forces are required here since the adjusted position only needs to be secured. The latching plate 105 is thereby pressed by the screw 120 against the mechanical mounting plate 115 as a counter bearing. In the exemplary embodiment shown, teeth 104 and 106 are provided as latching means. It is naturally also possible to provide other latching means, e.g. in the form of ribs, projections to lock the latching plate 105 in position on the plate-shaped section 102. In addition, the latching means can be formed on the metal mounting plate 115. An angle fitting 201 shown in Figure 14 is produced by stamping and bending a metal sheet and comprises a first plate-shaped section 102 on which an opening 203 is left. The first plate-shaped section 202 is connected via a bending edge 204 to a second plate-shaped section 205, on which a plurality of openings 206 are left for fastening means, for example, for fixing a furniture body. The furniture body can be adjusted vertically with the aid of the openings 206. Projecting webs 207 are formed at an 2688329_1 (GHMatters) P8710B.AU - 20 upper end and a lower end of the bending edge 204, on which a cover 220 can be locked in position. The opening 203 is shown in detail in Figure 15. This comprises two horizontally aligned elongate holes 208 and 209 which are interconnected in a central region via a connecting section 210 and which extend perpendicularly to the bending edge 204 or a bending axis. This results in a substantially double T-shaped configuration of the opening 203. The connecting section 210 is broadened and has a substantially circular contour so that a screw head can be inserted through the broadening. The cover 220 has projections 221 which can be locked in position on the webs 207 of the angle fitting 201. For mounting the angle fitting 201, a screw 215 is initially fixed on a wall (Figure 17A). The angle fitting 201 is then placed on the screw 215, the screw head being passed through the connecting section 210. The user can then decide in which elongate hole 208 or 209 the shank of the screw 215 is inserted Figure 17B). For the horizontal alignment the shank of the screw 215 can then be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the elongate holes 208 and 209 until the desired position is reached. The screw 215 can then be tightened to fix the position of the angle fitting 210 on the screw. Figures 18A to 18D show a modified embodiment of a plate shaped section 202' of an angle fitting. Two separate openings 216 are formed on the plate-shaped section 202'. The openings 216 are arranged symmetrically to a mirror 2688329_1 (GHMatters) P8710O.AU - 21 plane running perpendicular to the bending edge 204 so that the angle fitting can be used for mounting on a left side (Fig. 18A and 18B) or a right side (Fig. 18C and 18D). For mounting a screw 215 is initially fixed to the wall and the screw head is passed through the broadened connection section 213, 214 (Fig. 18A and 18C). The shank of the screw 215 can then be inserted in the elongate holes 211 or 212 and displaced there so that a horizontal alignment is rendered possible. The angle fitting 201 is then fixed by tightening the screw 215. The angle fitting 201 can be used in particular for mounting wall furniture, where the plate-shaped section 202, 202' can be fixed on a wall and the second plate shaped section 205 on an inner side of a furniture body. In an exemplary embodiment shown the opening 203 is configured such that two elongate holes 208 and 209 are interconnected via a connecting section 210. It is naturally also possible to provide more than two elongate holes 208 and 209 on the first plate-shaped section 202 which are then interconnected to provide another possibility for height adjustment. A fitting 301 shown in Fig. 19 consists of a stamped and bent metal sheet and comprises a first fitting part 303 and a second fitting part 302 which are detachably held on one another by means of predetermined breaking points in the form of webs 311. The second fitting part 302 is configured as an angle and comprises a plate-shaped section 304 having an opening 305 28329_1 (GHMatters) P87100 AU - 22 which is configured to be larger than a shank of a fixing screw. Grooves 306 and ribs extending in the horizontal direction are formed adjacent to the opening above and below. The plate-shaped section 304 is connected via a bending edge 307 to a plate 308 which is aligned substantially at right angles and has a plurality of openings 309 on which fastening means are provided for fixing a furniture body. At the bending edge 307, webs 310 are formed at the upper end and lower end, which project inwards between the plate shaped section 304 and the plate 308 and on which a cover 320 can be locked in position. The first fitting part 303 is connected via two spaced apart webs 311 to the second fitting part 302 and is also substantially plate-shaped. An opening 312 is formed in the first fitting part 303 which has the shape of a keyhole and has a broadened section and a tapered section. Vertically running beads or ribs 313 are formed for reinforcement adjacent to the opening 312. The first fitting part 303 is smaller in height than the plate-shaped section 304 and has a bent upper edge 314 and a bent lower edge 315 which project from the plate-shaped level of the first fitting part 303. Respectively one strip-shaped projection is formed on the upper edge 314 and the lower edge 315, which can be inserted in the grooves 306 on the plate-shaped section 304. The mounting of the multi-part fitting 301 proceeds as follows: 2888329.1 (GHMatters) P8710B.AU - 23 The multi-part fitting 301 is separated by the user into the two fitting parts 302 and 303, the webs 311 designed as predetermined breaking points being destroyed. At the position provided for this a screw is then fixed in the wall, which protrudes from the wall with the screw head. The user can now suspend the second fitting part 302 on the screw by passing the screw head through the opening 305. On the second fitting part 302 in this position a furniture body or another component can be fixed on the plate 308 by fastening means. The first fitting part 303 is then grasped and the screw head is now passed through the opening 312 on the second fitting part 303, the wider section being located at the bottom. The narrower section is configured to be narrower than the screw head. An alignment of the first fitting part 303 is then made in height and width. The first fitting part 303 can be inserted with regard to height in the desired groove 306 in the area of grooves on the plate shaped section 304. In addition, the first fitting part can be displaced along the ribs in the horizontal direction in a certain range. After aligning the first fitting part 303 on the second fitting part 302, the second fitting part 302 can then be mounted in the desired position where the screw no longer directly holds the second fitting part 302,but the first fitting part 303 is positively and non-positively fixed which in turn fixes the second fitting part 302. The fitting part 302 configured as an angle can then be covered by a cover 320, latching means 321 being provided, which can lock in position behind the webs 310. 2588329.1 (GHMatters) P87106.AU - 24 In the exemplary embodiment according to the invention, the second fitting part 302 is configured as an angle. It is naturally also possible to configure the multi-part fitting part 301 with only plate-shaped fitting parts 302 and 303. The first fitting part 303 is fixed on the plate 308 by means of webs 311 designed as predetermined breaking point. It is naturally also possible to connect the fitting part 303 on the opposite side on the plate-shaped section 304 via predetermined breaking points. In addition, more than two fitting parts can also be combined to form a preassembled unit by stamping and bending. 288329_1 (GHMatters) PB7106AU - 25 Reference list 1 Furniture body 2 Rear wall 3 Side wall 10 Fitting 11 Mounting plate 11' Mounting plate 12 Fastening plate 13 opening 14 Cut-out section 15 Edge 15' Edge 15" Profiling 16 Straight section 17 Front side 18 Bending edge 19 Web 20 Eccentric disk 20' Eccentric disk 20" Eccentric disk 20"' Profiling 21 Annular edge 21' Annular edge 22 Flange section 22' Flange section 23 opening 23' Opening 24 Tool holder 2638329.1 (GHMatters) P87106.AU - 26 24' Tool holder 25 Narrower section 25' Channel 26 Broadened section 26' Receptacle 30 Cover 31 Snap-in lug 40 Screw 40' Screw 101 Angle fitting 102 First plate-shaped section 103 Opening 104 Latching means 105 Latching plate 106 Latching means 107 Second plate-shaped section 108 Opening 109 Cover 110 Snap-in lug 111 Latching recess 112 Latching tab 113 Latching receptacle 114 Cavities and reinforcing webs 115 Mounting plate 116 Opening 120 Screw 201 Angle fitting 202 First plate-shaped section 202' First plate-shaped section 2688329_1 (GHMatters) P87106.AU - 27 203 Opening 204 Bending edge 205 Second plate-shaped section 206 Opening 207 Web 208 Elongate hole 209 Elongate hole 210 Connecting section 211 Elongate hole 212 Elongate hole 213 Connecting section 214 Connecting section 215 Screw 216 Opening 220 Cover 221 Projection 301 Fitting 302 Second fitting part 303 First fitting part 304 Plate-shaped section 305 Opening 306 Grooves 307 Bending edge 308 Plate 309 Opening 310 Web 311 Web 312 Opening 313 Bead 2688329_1 (GHMatters) P8710O.AU - 28 314 Upper edge 315 Lower edge 320 Cover 321 Latching means 2688329_l (GHMatters) P87106.AU
