Abstract
Abstract A fastening device for a fitting part, such as a hinge part, is provided with a fastening borehole. A bushing or a ring-shaped insertion part can be inserted in the previously drilled borehole and includes a continuous hole in an axial direction. A pin, provided with a head and penetrating the fastening borehole, is pivoted in the continuous hole. The continuous hole is positioned eccentrically in the bushing or in the ring-shaped insertion part. The pin is provided with an eccentric shaft part which protrudes over the hole and on which a clamping part is fastened.
