Patent number: 6189988Abstract: A switching cabinet with two side walls, a back wall, a bottom side and a cover side and with frame pieces which, at least in part, are formed by multiple beveling of the side walls, the back wall, the bottom side or the cover side in the inner space of the switching cabinet, where the sections formed by beveling have a section which is inclined or parallel to the plane of the corresponding side wall, the back wall, the bottom side or the cover side and is at a distance from these. Extended mounting capabilities are offered by the fact that the inclined or parallel sections of two bordering walls standing perpendicular to one another or of a wall and a side of the switching cabinet are assigned to one another in such a way that they form a deepened inside receptacle in the inside space of the switching cabinet.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 1999Date of Patent: February 20, 2001Assignee: Rittal-Werk Rudolf Loh GmbH & Co., KGInventors: Walter Nicolai, Udo Münch, Georg Vogel

Patent number: 6145943Abstract: A switching cabinet which is enclosed by wall elements and a door. An assembly plate is placed parallel to a vertical side wall. The assembly plate can be moved in a direction of the associated side wall by sliders on at least one guide rail and brought into a position for mounting. Limited mounting opportunities, because of the guide rails, are thus avoided by designing the guide rails as a separate part, by providing positioning units which are detachably secured to the switching cabinet, and by being able to remove the guide rails from the cabinet after the assembly plate is positioned.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 1999Date of Patent: November 14, 2000Assignee: Rittal-Werk Rudolf Loh GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6138843Abstract: A frame piece for a rack of a switching cabinet, which has a profile outside and a profile inside, the transitions of which lie at a distance from an outside corner edge of the rack and form a free space with the profile outside to the outside corner edge, for swinging a cabinet door and introducing edges of abutting paneling elements. A frame piece with many possibilities of variation with respect to fastening planes, fastening directions and stability is created according to this invention, because the frame piece is designed as having mirror image symmetry in cross-section with respect to an axis of symmetry which is at an angle of inclination to the rack diagonal. On both sides of the rack diagonal with the profile inside and profile outside, there are at least two profile sections that are at an angle with respect to one another, at least a part of which has fastening seats.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 1999Date of Patent: October 31, 2000Assignee: Rittal-Werk Rudolf Loh GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6123400Abstract: A switching cabinet having a rack with horizontal and vertical frame profiles. The horizontal frame profiles form a lower and upper frame and the vertical frame profiles are secured in the comer areas of the upper and lower frames. The vertical frame profiles are symmetrical to cross-sectional diagonals running across virtual, vertical outer edges of the rack. Greater flexibility in installing built-in fixtures inside the switch cabinet is achieved by providing the vertical frame profiles which are turned towards the inside of the switching cabinet with an open inner cavity having two inner walls extending in the longitudinal direction of the profiles so that vertical assembly rails can be mounted in the inner cavity, one profiled side standing perpendicular to the outside of the rack is joined to the inner walls. The inner walls, the assembly racks and the profiled sides can have rows of fastening cavities inserted according to a division grid.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1999Date of Patent: September 26, 2000Assignee: Rittal-Werk Rudolf Loh GmbH & Co.
