Publication number: 20200128960Abstract: A furniture fitting includes a housing, a fluid chamber arranged in the housing, a damping fluid in the fluid chamber, a piston having an overload opening and displaceably arranged in the fluid chamber for performing a damping hub, and an overload safety device in the piston and having a closure element pressurized by a force storage member. The closure element blocks the overload opening of the piston below a predetermined threshold value of a pressure application to the piston, and unblocks the overload opening of the piston against a force of the force storage member above the predetermined threshold value. Due to the unblocking of the overload opening, a fluid-conductive connection between a high pressure side and a low-pressure side of the fluid chamber is unblocked. The closure element includes a throttle opening for passage of the damping fluid from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2019Publication date: April 30, 2020Inventor: Christof GOETZ
