Abstract

A pivot fitting for movable furniture parts on pieces of furniture, has a first lever and a second lever that are mounted to pivot about a common axis from a basic position through a predetermined angle, a clamping mechanism with which the two levers are fixable relative to each other at different angular positions within the predetermined angle. The clamping mechanism includes a toothing attached in a rotationally fixed manner to the second lever, at least one catch pivotally mounted on the first lever and loaded in the direction of the toothing, the catch engaging with the toothing in a detent position, a control disc mounted to pivot about the common axis, with which control disc the at least one catch can be disengaged from the toothing when the predetermined angle has been passed in an adjusting direction from the basic position so that when the catch is disengaged from the toothing, the two levers can be pivoted back into the basic position when the predetermined angle is passed in a resetting direction. The control disc can be carried by the toothing, resting thereon with a friction fit, and is mounted so as to pivot about a switching angle relative to the first lever.
