Abstract

A connector by way of which two frame elements of a frame of a furniture part can be connected, wherein the connector includes a corner-connecting mechanism for connecting respective end portions of the two frame elements in a corner region of the furniture-part frame. An attachment portion for attachment to a pivoting device is integrated on the corner-connecting mechanism, wherein the furniture part can be accommodated on a basic structure of a piece of furniture such that it can be pivoted by means of the pivoting device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A connector, by way of which two frame elements of a frame of a furniture part can be connected, the connector comprising:
a corner-connecting mechanism for connecting respective end portions of the two frame elements in a corner region of the frame;
and
an attachment portion, for attaching the corner-connecting mechanism to a latching portion of a pivoting device, integrated on the corner-connecting mechanism,
wherein the attachment portion comprises two projecting contact portions on the corner-connecting mechanism,
wherein the two projecting contact portions extend in a perpendicular direction with respect to an attachment plane of the attachment portion,
wherein the two projecting contact portions can be releasably latched to the latching portion of the pivoting device, and
wherein the furniture part can be accommodated on a basic structure of a piece of furniture such that it can be pivoted by means of the pivoting device.

2. The connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the attachment portion is fitted in a releasable manner on the corner-connecting mechanism.

3. The connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the corner-connecting mechanism comprises a main body, on which the attachment portion is accommodated.

4. The connector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the attachment portion is fitted on a side of the main body that is oriented parallel to an inner side of the frame.

5. The connector as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the frame is formed by the frame elements.

6. The connector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the main body comprises a first elongate arm and a second elongate arm, wherein the first elongate arm is oriented at an angle to the second elongate arm.

7. The connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the corner-connecting mechanism is configured to be accommodated in an inner volume of the two frame elements of the frame.

8. The connector as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an adjuster, for adjusting a height position and/or a lateral position of the attachment portion, present on the corner-connecting mechanism.

9. The connector as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the adjuster comprises a screw-connection element, which can be screwed into a main body of the corner-connecting mechanism and which engages through a guide portion in the attachment portion.

10. The connector as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the guide portion is a slot.

11. The connector as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the attachment portion is designed in the form of an elongate angular element with two limbs located at an angle to one another, wherein a first limb of the angular element has two projecting contact portions, and the adjuster is active on a second limb of the angular element.

12. A furniture part having a frame, which is formed from at least two frame elements and surrounds a surface-area region of the furniture part, wherein the frame elements are connected by a connector as claimed in claim 1 .

13. The furniture part as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the frame elements have hollow-profile portions, wherein the connection of the frame elements by the connector is established in the region of the hollow-profile portions.
