  • Patent number: 5911393
    Abstract: An inclination adapter for a support arm system, the adapter having a base part with an adjusting spindle and an inclination member, the base part and the inclination member pivotably connected to each other and the pivot movement performed via a coupling member which can be adjusted by the adjusting spindle. An inclination adapter which is sufficiently stable for a support arm system and has simple parts is produced because the base part and the inclination member comprise connection plates with central openings. Coupled spaced-apart, mutually facing bearing bars are integrally formed on the base part and the inclination member, respectively, and mounted to be pivotable parallel to the connection plates via the base part and the inclination member.

  • Patent number: 5885094
    Abstract: A connecting terminal for a busbar in a busbar system in which the busbar has an n-agonal cross-section (n.gtoreq.3) with longitudinal undercut acceptor grooves in its outer sides. A connecting terminal having simple parts and which is easy to fit has two terminal sections which can be fitted on the busbar and connected together, and can be inserted with securing components in recesses in the busbar and secured transversely therein. The terminal sections form a terminal chamber over an outside of the busbar directed transversely thereto and securing screws can be adjusted in webs of the terminal sections away from the outside of the busbar which clamp terminal sections in the terminal chamber to a line inserted therein with a connection to the outside of the busbar.

  • Patent number: 5857353
    Abstract: The invention relates to a wall air conditioning apparatus for a control panel, with a fan and a lamellar heat exchanger, featuring a box-like housing with an upper inlet opening and a lower outlet opening in the wall that faces the control panel, whereby the fan is arranged behind the inlet opening and the lamellar heat exchanger is arranged under the fan and over the outlet opening at an acute angle to this wall. For improved ventilation and drainage of condensation water, it is provided that the lamellae of the lamellar heat exchanger are at an acute angle to the floor of the housing and drop off toward the wall that faces away from the control cabinet, and that the floor of the housing is provided with a drain for condensate.

  • Patent number: 5817977
    Abstract: A busbar system with busbars fitted in a trough-like lower securing section extending over a length. A clamping arm perpendicular is secured to a securing surface of the lower securing section on which adapters fitted with terminals can be fitted and covered. The adapters can be secured to the lower securing section by mechanical catches. This invention improves mechanical securing of covers and adapters because the lower securing section has an outer wall and an inner wall longitudinally on both sides forming a longitudinal catch recess. The outer walls also have an outwardly directed longitudinal catch web, and retaining springs with catch webs of the side walls of the cover and adapter housing that run parallel to the busbars can be engaged in the longitudinal catch apertures and additional components securable to the adapter housing can engage with retaining springs on the outwardly directed longitudinal catch webs of the outer walls of the lower securing section as a tilting safeguard.

  • Patent number: 5806946
    Abstract: A switchgear cabinet with a frame made up of frame members and corner joints. The open sides of the frame are or may be closed by side walls, a rear wall, a bottom plate, a cover plate and at least one door. A special design of the frame members in the area of their outer edges and of the corner joints makes it simple to attach a door.

  • Patent number: 5807143
    Abstract: A connecting terminal for a busbar and a connecting cable having a hook strap which can be pushed on the busbar. A clamping strap can be adjusted by an attachment screw which clamps the connecting cable to the busbar. A holding strap provisionally holds the hook strap pushed on the busbar. The cost of parts and assembly can be reduced without interference with the function because the holding strap is pushed from the direction of an outside on a transverse leg of the hook strap and extends with lateral legs that act as holding springs, into receivers of the lateral legs of the hook strap. The holding strap has a through-bore for the attachment screw. A transverse leg of the holding strap extends on both sides past the hook strap and forms receivers for adjustable fixing of the lateral legs of the clamping strap which is inserted between the lateral legs of the hook strap.

  • Patent number: 5801331
    Abstract: A switchgear cabinet with a door and with a cover secured to its top side. In order to make it easier to mount the cover on the switchgear cabinet, the cover has a bottom part connected to the top side of the switchgear cabinet and a top part that covers the bottom part. The top part is joined at a rear side to the bottom part by plug or hinge joints and has at its front side holding flaps that are hooked and held by a bent border of the switchgear cabinet door when the cover and door are in their closed position.

  • Patent number: 5794895
    Abstract: A device for securing cables and conduits in switchgear cubicles with a securing bracket which is releasably secured to a support, a plate or a rail in the cubicle, and, to receive the cables and conduits has a bracket section projecting from a securing plate which has an inwardly angled end section which is engaged by a cover section that also projects from the securing plate, leaving an insertion aperture. The device can easily be built into switchgear cubicles using simple parts because a catch bracket is used to engage with the securing plate of the securing bracket and because securing side arms of the catch bracket can engage in suitably spaced and sized engagement slots in the support, the plate or the rail.

  • Patent number: 5791115
    Abstract: A frame leg for a rack of a switchgear cabinet having two partial profile strips produced from material strips in a stamping and bending process, wherein the partial profile sections overlap each other with partial sections in connecting areas and are fixedly connected with respect to each other. The stability, the torsional stability and sealing of a frame leg of this type can be improved with negligible outlay. Prior to or during the stamping and bending process of the two partial profile sections, the partial sections included in the connecting areas are provided with a curable adhesive layer at least in one of the partial sections, and that the cured adhesive layers connect the partial sections of the two partial connecting sections included in the connecting areas in a fixed manner.

  • Patent number: 5772296
    Abstract: The invention relates to a switchgear cabinet with a frame which is composed of frame members and which can be closed by a cover plate, side panels, a rear wall, and a door. To fit both optical and functional elements easily to the corners of the frame, the horizontal depth struts are designed as sections open on the outside, and the cover plate and/or side panels have chamfers which at least partly overlap the outside of the sections so that the chamfer and the outer side form a holder into which a plug-in rod of a corner piece can be inserted.

  • Patent number: 5769916
    Abstract: A filter ventilator for installation in an opening of a wall of a switchgear cabinet or the like, having a base housing receiving the filter, which is covered with a finned screen and which is connected with a ventilator on a side facing away from the finned screen. For a considerably simplified mounting of the filter ventilator, detent cams are molded on the base housing for fastening the ventilator. The detent cams engage bores in the facing flange of the ventilator. L-shaped holding elements are formed on the base housing which, facing the flange of the ventilator which faces away from the finned screen, have detent cams which engage bores of the flange. The L-shaped holding elements and the base housing form receivers, into which the ventilator, which is placed angularly offset on the base housing, can be rotated to a stop.
