Abstract
A fitting is specified, in particular for a vehicle seat, which has a first fitting part and a second fitting part that is rotatable around a rotary axis relative to the first fitting part, and which has at least one safety bolt that is movably guided in the radial direction on the first fitting part for the purpose of forming an interlock with the second fitting part. According to a first variant, at least one rotatable actuating cam is provided for radially supporting the safety bolt, which has outer, middle and inner support surfaces running in the circumferential direction, the support surfaces each having a radial offset relative to each other, and the step between the middle and the outer support surfaces forming a stop against the safety bolt. According to a further variant, fitting has an engagement means for retracting the safety bolt, which is designed as a link guiding the safety bolt, which includes a radial limiting surface that acts as a stop in interaction with the safety bolt. A fitting of this type is effectively protected against over-rotation.
