Patent number: 8093513Abstract: A device which is used to guide cables or wires through walls. The device includes a maintaining device which is connected to two or more cable maintaining elements that surround, in a frame-like manner, a mounting area which includes a through-opening, and the cable maintaining elements are arranged in the region of the through-openings. According to this invention, the mounting area has a matrix-form and includes at least two mounting lines and at least two mounting gaps which enable the mounting area to be equipped in a simple and easy manner. The mounting lines and the mounting gaps predefine, respectively, a constant modular dimension, and the cable maintaining elements are dimensioned with respect to the width and the longitudinal extension in the direction of the mounting line and direction of the mounting gap, so that the width and the length correspond to a multiple whole number of the modular dimension.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2006Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Rittal GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Oskar Elm, Matthias Müller, Horst Besserer, Rolf Benner

Patent number: 7784889Abstract: A switchgear cabinet with a rack and/or panel elements, wherein a mounting plate can be attached to an interior of the switchgear cabinet. A lower edge of the mounting plate has sliding elements, wherein one or several spacing elements are fastened on a rear panel element and/or on rear parts of the rack, by which the mounting plate is supported in the mounting position. The mounting plate can provide fastening receivers in the area of the lower edge and the upper edge which, in the installation position of the mounting plate, cooperate with fastening elements of the lower and upper contact elements and fix the mounting plate rigidly in place. With sliding elements supported on the bottom or the cover plate and fastening elements at the spacing elements and fastening receivers on the mounting plate, an installation without sliding rails is possible, wherein the switchgear cabinet can be installed facing the attachment area with the bottom plate or the cover plate.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2006Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Rittal GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Rolf Benner, Matthias Müller, Oskar Elm

Publication number: 20090121091Abstract: A device used to guide cables or wires through walls. The device includes a maintaining device connected to two or more cable maintaining elements. The maintaining elements surround, in a frame-like manner, a through-opening, and the cable maintaining elements are arranged in the region of the through opening. According to this invention, at least one of the cable maintaining devices or at least two groups of cable maintaining devices can be connected to the maintaining device independently from one or more of the remaining cable maintaining devices by connecting elements which are associated with the cable maintaining devices, in order to improve the ease of mounting of this type of device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2006Publication date: May 14, 2009Inventors: Oskar Elm, Matthias Muller, Horst Besserer, Benner Rolf

Patent number: 6750847Abstract: The invention relates to an operator's communication unit (1) comprising a mouse (4) and an annunciator (3) that interacts electrically therewith, and a cable arrangement (2) for connection to the input (5.1′) of an operator's communication unit for a computer. The structure of the inventive device is simple and it is easy to handle by virtue of the fact that the mouse (4) is connected via a single mouse cable (2.1) and the annunciator (3) is connected via a single annunciator cable (2.2) to a common connection element (2.9′), whereby the mouse cable (2.1) and the annunciator cable (2.2) can be joined together either directly or via an additional connection element (2.5) or an additional transition cable (2.9) and a connection element to the input (5.1′) to the operator's communication unit for a computer (5).Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2001Date of Patent: June 15, 2004Assignee: Rittal GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6637842Abstract: A switchgear cabinet with at least one cabinet door, which can be locked by a lock element of the switchgear cabinet body wherein, in a locked position of the cabinet door, a locking engagement between the lock element and a counter-lock element can be released by a triggering device, which is in an operative connection with the lock element or the counter-lock element via an actuating unit. So that the cabinet door can be opened in a simple way from the inside of the switchgear cabinet, the actuating unit of this invention is designed as a Bowden cable, with one end connected to the triggering device via a connecting element and an other end connected with the lock element or the counter-lock element. The triggering device has a rotary body which is pivotably seated about an axis of rotation. The end of the Bowden cable is fastened eccentrically offset with respect to the axis of rotation on the rotary body, and a lever with a handle is connected to the rotary body.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2001Date of Patent: October 28, 2003Assignee: Rittal GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Oskar Elm, Jürgen Zachrai, Uwe Schauwecker

Patent number: 6384323Abstract: The invention is an improvement to a high-frequency-shielded switchgear cabinet having a cabinet body which can be or is composed of wall elements and has at least one opening which can be closed by a cabinet door. Gaps formed in the cabinet body and between the cabinet body and door can be closed or sealed so as to be high-frequency-shielded by means of electrically and magnetically conductive sealing strips. In order to attain a corrosion-free switchgear cabinet which has a long service life and can be easily produced, the wall elements and cabinet door are made of aluminum-zinc-coated sheet metal and are provided at least in regions facing the gaps to be sealed without additional surface-protecting coverings. The sealing strips are directly connected to the untreated surface of the wall elements and/or cabinet door.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1998Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Rittal-Werk Rudolf Loh GmbHInventors: Oskar Elm, Walter Nicolai, Jürgen Schnaubelt, Matthias Schüler

Patent number: 5916282Abstract: The invention relates to a catch for a door, especially a switchboard door, with a lock plate which can be secured to the door and bears a door lock and a bolt cover guided adjustably on the lock plate which can be secured in a position covering the door lock by means of a cover lock. Complete sealing with substantially increased security against unauthorized access to the door lock is attained in that the door lock takes the form of a casement lock and the cover lock that of a cylinder lock, a partial cover is secured to the lock plate which overlaps with the bolt cover in the locked position at the contact point and forms a sealed lock cover, and a cover for the cylinder lock is rotatably fitted on the bolt cover.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1997Date of Patent: June 29, 1999Assignee: Rittal-Werk Rudolf Loh GmbH & Co.
