Abstract

The furniture fitment comprises a hinge arm (2) fixable on the furniture part and a hinge top (5) fixable on a different furniture part and connected by articulated levers (3, 4). A follower plate (8) is mounted displaceable in the hinge top and can be actuated directly or indirectly by the articulated lever. The plate sets at least one brake plate (15, 16) in rotation in the hinge top. The brake plate has at least a first brake surface which slides on at lea-st one associated second brake surface which can be fixed or movable relative to the first. the follower plate can be linearly displaceable in the area of the hinge top closest the bottom.
