Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2218839A1] The fitting (10) has a joint arrangement with a sleeve-like support connecting piece defining a circular, flat bearing surface. A rod-like extremity is arranged on a joint part at a fixed angle in relation to a counter surface, where the joint part maintains a neutral position when external transverse force (F) acts on the extremity until the force exceeds a predefined limit value. The joint part partially lifts the counter surface away from the bearing surface. A flat contact between the surfaces becomes a line or point contact. The extremity is designed as a tubular operating lever (130). A light source i.e. LED, emits a light signal in a free end region of the operating lever.
