Abstract: A first fitting and a second fitting are driven by a common drive shaft. Each of the fittings has a first fitting part and a second fitting part that are connected to one another by a gear mechanism so that there can be a rolling movement of the second fitting part on the first fitting part, with an angle defined between the fitting parts being changed by the rolling movement.

A stopper is mounted on the first fitting for limiting the angle between the fitting parts. The driver of the first fitting is made of a material with a high mechanical strength and the driver of the second fitting is made of a material with a lower mechanical strength.
