Abstract

A pivoting fitting (1) comprises a first tab (2) and a second tab (3) which are mounted so as to be rotatable relative to each other about an axis (6), and a locking mechanism having at least one pawl (5) and toothing (4), wherein the pawl (5) can be engaged in the toothing in a plurality of positions and permits a pivoting movement of the first tab (2) with respect to the second tab (3) in a first direction and blocks movement in an opposing direction, and wherein at least one control element (14) is provided to disengage the at least one pawl (5) from the toothing (4) and then to pivot the first tab (2) with respect to the second tab (3) in the second direction through an angle, wherein the at least one pawl (5) is retained by a spring element (9) in a position engaged in the toothing (4), wherein the spring element (9) is at least partially made from an elastomer material. In this way, the pivoting fitting (1) can be pivoted with little noise.
