ABSTRACT:
A connecting fitting for releasably connecting two platelike furniture members, which extend preferably at right angles to each other comprises two fitting elements adapted to be secured to respective furniture members to be connected. One of said fitting elements is pin-shaped and provided with an enlarged head and adapted to be slidably inserted into an aperture or recess of the other fitting element until the fitting elements and/or furniture members engage each other. The other fitting element is provided with a spring-loaded locking member, which comprises a forked portion for straddling the first-mentioned fitting element below its head in order to lock the fitting members to each other. In one embodiment of the invention, the locking member consists of a locking lever, which is pivoted to the associated fitting element and has a forked, hook-shaped end portion, which in its locking position straddles the shank of the pin-shaped element behind its head, the hook-shaped end portion has a curved or wedge-like, tapered surface, which extends in the direction in which the head is to be slidably inserted, and means are provided for imparting to the locking lever a pivotal movement to its unlocked position against the force of the spring. In another embodiment of the invention, the locking member consists of a wedge-shaped slider, which is known per se and which on its side facing the supporting face has also a wedge-shaped surface and lies in the direction in which the head is slidably inserted into the housing for the slider, and unlocking means are provided for moving the slider against the spring force to its open position.
