  • Patent number: 11053723
    Abstract: A flap fitting for furniture having a housing secured to a body. A support lever is rotatably mounted on the housing about a first axis of rotation. The support lever is connected to a flap about a second axis of rotation using a connection. A control lever is connected via the connection to the flap about a third axis of rotation. The control lever is articulatedly connected about a fourth axis of rotation to a control element and to the housing. The flap is pivotable via a gripping element. A center of rotation of the flap when in a closed position is located below the gripping element and when in a maximum open position is located above the gripping element. As a result the flap can be smoothly opened and closed by a user.
