Abstract
Abstract A fitting component for mounting in a piece of furniture for receiving a hinge or the like. A generally cylindrical fitting component with a central opening for receiving the hinge and a pair of opposed inclined openings, with a locking element positioned in each inclined opening. Each locking element includes a cam section and is rotatable from a first position within the circumferential outline of the fitting component into a second position in which the cam section projects beyond the fitting component circumference for engaging the piece of furniture and anchoring the fitting component therein.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A fitting component which can be anchored into an accommodating sunk seat of a piece of furniture or the like and having a central axis and at least one locking element with a cam section provided on the locking element, with the locking element rotatable about a rotating axis from a first position in which the cam section is within the circumferential outline of the fitting component for insertion of the component into the sunk seat, into a second position in which the cam section projects beyond the fitting component circumference for anchoring purposes of the fitting component, characterized in that said rotating axis is inclined to said central axis of the fitting component and that said cam section of said locking element cuts into the piece of furniture when rotated to said second position, with said component inserted and anchored without tilting said component.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
A fitting component which can be anchored into an accommodating sunk seat of a piece of furniture or the like and having a central axis and at least one locking element with a cam section provided on the locking element, with the locking element rotatable about a rotating axis from a first position in which the cam section is within the circumferential outline of the fitting component for insertion of the component into the sunk seat, into a second position in which the cam section projects beyond the fitting component circumference for anchoring purposes of the fitting component, characterized in that said rotating axis is inclined to said central axis of the fitting component and that said cam section of said locking element cuts into the piece of furniture when rotated to said second position, with said component inserted and anchored without tilting said component.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 1, characterized by the fact that said rotating axis of said locking element is inclined in the direction of the nonvisible underside of the fitting component away from said central axis of the fitting component.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 1, including two of said locking elements arranged on the circumference of the fitting component opposite each other.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 1, characterized by the fact that said locking element is formed by a pin which is held in a bore of the fitting component and provided with the cam section.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 4, characterized by the fact that said cam section is formed integrally with said pin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 1, characterized by the fact that said cam section comprises an eccentric disc.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 6, characterized by the fact that said eccentric disc has approximately an elliptical cross section.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 1, characterized by the fact that said cam section runs as a spiral relative to said rotating axis of said locking element.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 1, characterized by the fact that said cam section has a knife edge type cutting edge.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
25 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 1, characterized by the fact that said cam section has a saw tooth form, hook shaped cutting edge.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
34 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 4, characterized by the fact that said locking element has a conical end and that said cam section is disposed between said conical end and said pin.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
22 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 1, characterized by the fact that said locking element includes means for engaging a tool.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
27 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 1 wherein said component includes an opening open towards the fitting component underside for accommodating the locking element cam section.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim

A fitting component as defined in claim 1 including at least one stop for limiting the rotating angle of said locking element.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
76 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 14 characterized by the fact that said stop is formed by a lug situated in an opening of the fitting component, which lug is in a radial direction to a pin of said locking element and projects beyond the circumference of said pin, and characterized by the fact that a section of the fitting component projects into said opening on the fitting component and acts as a counter stop.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
25 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 15, characterized by the fact that said lug is formed on the cam section of said locking element.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
24 words
A fitting component as defined in claim 1, characterized by the fact that it forms a cylinder shaped hinge housing for a cup hinge.
