Abstract

An assembly fitting has a first fitting part ( 1 ), which is provided for attachment to a first component, and a second fitting part ( 10 ), which is provided for attachment to a second component. The first fitting part ( 1 ) and the second fitting part ( 10 ) can be connected to one another by means of a bayonet coupling, whereby a sleeve part ( 2 ) of the bayonet coupling is formed in the first fitting part ( 1 ) and an insertion part ( 11 ) of the bayonet coupling is formed in the second fitting part ( 10 ). The insertion part ( 11 ) has a number of radial tongues ( 12 ). The sleeve part ( 2 ) has an inner sleeve opening ( 4 ) and tongue openings ( 5 ) radially formed thereon, corresponding to the number of tongues ( 12 ). Each radial tongue ( 12 ) has at least one lug ( 13 ), whose outer radial distance from a center of the insertion part ( 14 ) essentially lies on a circle and the shape of the inner sleeve opening ( 4 ) corresponds essentially at least in part to this circle. The advantage consists in a well centered and fixed connection that is fixed in three axes between the first fitting part ( 1 ) and the second fitting part ( 10 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An assembly fitting, which includes a first fitting part ( 1 ), which is provided for attaching to a first component, and a second fitting part ( 10 ), which is provided for attachment to a second component, wherein the first fitting part ( 1 ) and the second fitting part ( 10 ) can be connected to one another by means of a bayonet coupling, whose sleeve part ( 2 ) is formed in the first fitting part ( 1 ) and whose insertion part ( 11 ) is formed in the second fitting part, and wherein 
 the insertion part ( 11 ) is provided with a number of radial tongues ( 12 ), and    the sleeve part ( 2 ) is provided with an inner sleeve opening ( 4 ) and a number of tongue openings ( 5 ) formed thereon corresponding to the number of radial tongues ( 12 ),    characterized in that    each radial tongue ( 12 ) has at least one lug ( 13 ), whose outer radial distance from a center of the insertion part ( 14 ) lies essentially on a circle and the shape of the inner sleeve opening ( 4 ) corresponds essentially at least in part to this circle.    
     
     
         2 . The assembly fitting according to  claim 1 , characterized in that each radial tongue ( 12 ) has two lugs ( 13 ), whose outer radial distances from the center of the insertion part ( 14 ) lie essentially on the circle.  
     
     
         3 . The assembly fitting according to  claim 1  or  2 , characterized in that the shaping of the inner sleeve opening ( 4 ) corresponds at least in part essentially to a generally spiral-shaped or spiral-related curve characteristic, which converges with the circle.  
     
     
         4 . The assembly fitting according to one of claims  1  through  3 , characterized in that the radial tongues ( 12 ) each have a radial grooving ( 15 ) in their outer edges.  
     
     
         5 . The assembly fitting according to  claim 4 , characterized in that on the sleeve part ( 2 ), a resilient locking device with a release lever and a locking cam is mounted, whereby the locking cam is formed to engage in the radial grooving ( 15 ) of the tongues ( 12 ).  
     
     
         6 . The assembly fitting according to one of claims  1  through  5 , characterized in that the sleeve part ( 2 ) and the insertion part ( 11 ) in a coupled state form a centered and fixed connection in three axes between the first fitting part ( 1 ) and the second fitting part ( 10 ), or between the first component and the second component.  
     
     
         7 . The assembly fitting according to one of claims  1  through  6 , characterized in that the assembly fitting can be combined with auxiliary or intermediate parts, with which, in addition to the first and second components, adjacent further components can be connected.  
     
     
         8 . A use of the assembly fitting according to one of claims  1  through  7  for attachment of furniture parts.  
     
     
         9 . The use of the assembly fitting according to  claim 8  for attachment of table legs to table tops.
