Abstract

A pivot fitting has a first lever mounted such that is pivotable out of a starting position about a force-transmitting shaft serving as an axis of rotation in relation to the shaft. The fitting has a clamping mechanism fixing the first lever in different angular positions relative to the shaft. The clamping mechanism has a toothed-ring disc positioned on the shaft and has an outer toothing structure formed on the outer periphery, a catch mounted in a pivotable manner on the first lever and is loaded in the direction of the outer toothing structure and, in a latching position, is in engagement with the outer toothing structure. A first control disc is mounted in a rotatable manner about the shaft so that following movement through the predetermined angle out of the starting position in an adjustment direction, the catch is disengaged from the outer toothing structure, and with the catch disengaged from the outer toothing structure it is possible for the first lever to be pivoted back relative to the shaft into the starting position.
