Abstract

A furniture fitting includes a base, a bearing device movable relative to the base, and an adjustment device for adjusting a position of the bearing device relative to the base. The adjustment device includes a rotatable adjustment element, and the position of the bearing device relative to the base is adjustable by rotating the adjustment element. The adjustment element includes a shell surface in which a thread is arranged, the thread engaging or being configured to engage at least partially the bearing device. The adjustment element of the adjustment device includes an abutment separate from the thread, and a preferably curved-shaped counter-abutment. The abutment of the adjustment element is configured to bear against the counter-abutment so as to limit a rotational movement of the adjustment element.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A furniture fitting or construction fitting, comprising:
 at least one base,   at least one bearing device movable relative to the base,   at least one adjustment device for adjusting a position of the bearing device relative to the base, the adjustment device including at least one rotatable adjustment element, wherein the position of the bearing device relative to the base is adjustable by rotating the at least one adjustment element,   wherein the at least one adjustment element includes a shell surface in which at least one thread is arranged, the at least one thread being in engagement or being configured to be engaged at least partially with the bearing device,   wherein the at least one adjustment element of the adjustment device includes at least one abutment separate from the thread, wherein at least one, preferably curved-shaped, counter-abutment is provided, and wherein the abutment of the adjustment element is configured to bear against the counter-abutment so as to limit a rotational movement of the adjustment element.   
     
     
         2 . The fitting according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least the bearing device and/or the at least one base is or are configured substantially plate-shaped. 
     
     
         3 . The fitting according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one adjustment device is configured to adjust a distance of the at least one bearing device relative to the at least one base. 
     
     
         4 . The fitting according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one adjustment device is configured to adjust a distance of the at least one bearing device in a direction extending substantially perpendicular relative to a plane formed by the plate-shaped bearing device or plate-shaped base. 
     
     
         5 . The fitting according to  claim 1 , wherein the base includes at least two mutually spaced, preferably substantially plate-shaped, base members, wherein the at least one adjustment element of the adjustment device is at least partially supported between the at least two base members. 
     
     
         6 . The fitting according to  claim 1 , wherein the bearing device is adjustable relative to the base by the adjustment device in a first adjustment direction, wherein a height adjustment device is provided by which the bearing device is adjustable relative to the base in a second adjustment direction extending transversely to the first adjustment direction. 
     
     
         7 . The fitting according to  claim 6 , wherein the at least one counter-abutment is formed or arranged on the height adjustment device, preferably wherein the height adjustment device includes a rotatably-supported height adjustment element, wherein the at least one counter-abutment is formed or arranged on the height adjustment element. 
     
     
         8 . The fitting according to  claim 1 , wherein a maximum adjustment path of the at least one adjustment element is predetermined by the at least one abutment and by the at least one counter-abutment. 
     
     
         9 . The fitting according to  claim 1 , wherein the abutment is configured as a protrusion extending in radial direction, the protrusion being arranged on the adjustment element and/or on a head of the adjustment element. 
     
     
         10 . The fitting according to  claim 1 , wherein at least two mutually spaced counter-abutments are provided, wherein the at least one adjustment element is configured to bear against a first counter-abutment in a first end position and is configured to bear against a second counter-abutment in a second end position, preferably wherein the first counter-abutment and the second counter-abutment are arranged on a same, preferably rotatable, component. 
     
     
         11 . The fitting according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one counter-abutment is arranged on the at least one base and/or is movable relative to the at least one base and/or is adjustable relative to the at least one base. 
     
     
         12 . The fitting according to  claim 1 , wherein the bearing device is configured to support at least one fitting portion to be fixed to a furniture part, preferably to a drawer front panel, preferably wherein the bearing device includes at least one locking device for releasably locking the at least one fitting portion. 
     
     
         13 . The fitting according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one adjustment element of the adjustment device:
 is movable over a maximum rotational angle range of 360°, preferably over a maximum rotational angle range of 330°, and/or   includes at least one peg pivotally supported in a hole of the base, and/or includes at least one receiving contour for receiving a tool.   
     
     
         14 . The fitting according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one thread is in engagement or is configured to be brought in engagement with the bearing device on a first side only, wherein the thread is spaced apart, preferably under the formation of a gap, from the bearing device on a second side diametrically opposing the first side. 
     
     
         15 . A drawer sidewall comprising the fitting according to  claim 1 , preferably wherein the drawer sidewall includes a hollow-chamber profile, wherein the at least one fitting is substantially entirely arranged within the hollow-chamber profile. 
     
     
         16 . A drawer comprising the drawer sidewall according to  claim 15 .
