Abstract

A pivot fitting having a stop lever, a ratchet lever, a blocking device and at least one toothed ring. The stop lever and the ratchet lever can be pivoted in relation to one another in an adjustment direction and in a reset direction. The stop lever and the toothed ring are coupled to one another such that pivoting of the stop lever and ratchet lever in the adjustment direction is accompanied by pivoting and/or rotation of the toothed ring in relation to the blocking device. The blocking device has at least two catches, that, in an adjustment position of the pivot fitting, the pivoting action of the stop lever and ratchet lever in the reset direction is countered by form-fitting engagement of at least one catch in the toothed ring.
