an upper floor (4),
a flap (3, 3′), and

wherein the flap fitting (10) comprises a housing (12) on which a support arm (11) is rotatably mounted, wherein the support arm includes a retaining element (13) configured for fixing the flap (3, 3′), and comprises an energy store (30), by means of which a force is configured to be applied to the support arm (11), and a damper (37), by means of which a movement of the support arm (11) in a closing direction is configured to be braked before the closing position is reached, wherein the damper (37) is configured to be moved via an actuating element (40) mounted in the housing (12) and the support arm (11) is configured to be braked via the actuating element (40) during a movement of the flap (3, 3′) in the closing direction before the closing position is reached;
wherein the support arm (11) is articulatedly connected to a drive lever (17), which is articulatedly connected to a pivotably mounted deflection lever (18), by means of which the actuating element (40) is configured to be actuated before reaching a maximum opening position;
