  • Publication number: 20120090869
    Abstract: In order to create a cabinet with a particularly simple earthquake construction, in which the necessary earthquake resistance and a static carrying load or respectively load capacity of up to 800 kg are guaranteed, cost-effectively producible stiffening panels are arranged and connected to form a body. The earthquake construction consists of a front and rear stiffening panel which are formed respectively as a frame and releasably connected to a bottom fixing angular element. Side stiffening elements are arranged between the front and rear stiffening panel which can be formed as one-part or multi-part, closed or interrupted panels.

  • Publication number: 20070175836
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rack or frame structure for electronic cabinets, specifically for network cabinets and cabinet rows with high cabling densities. To ensure in the case of high stability unhindered access to a reception area and cable routing in each direction, two vertical members and four depth members are so connected that a right and left-hand double-T frame is formed. The vertical members are in particular positioned as central members. The preferably releasable connection of the right and left-hand double-T frame takes place with the aid of a lower and upper transverse member in the vicinity of the vertical members, accompanied by the formation of a front and a rear frame recess.

  • Patent number: 6712434
    Abstract: In a cabinet, particularly an equipment cabinet for electrical and electronic components and equipment having a particularly simple construction and ensuring an optimum accessibility to the installation area as well as a high security against unauthorized opening, not only the front door and a rear wall, but also the side walls are provided with hinges and can be articulated, as desired, either on the right or left. The hinge system has upper and lower hinge pins and two hinge pin receptacles in each corner connector of a frame. The two hinge pin receptacles are in each case formed in a shoulder of the corner connector.

  • Patent number: 6561603
    Abstract: In a basic rack, particularly for equipment cabinets, transverse profiles and depth profiles are connected by corner connectors to an upper and lower frame. Vertical profiles connect the upper and lower frame in the area of the corner connectors. At least the transverse and depth profiles are made from a triangular, particularly rectangular hollow profile. The corner connectors are provided with two complimentary constructed triangular fixing extensions for mounting the transverse and depth profiles. The vertical profiles have terminal end fastening inserts for fastening to the corner parts of the corner connectors.

  • Patent number: 4764344
    Abstract: A device used in the determination of the quantitative composition of gases dissolved in the insulating oil of oil-insulated electrical apparatus wherein the device is capable of removing insulating oil samples and includes a pump arrangement for the extraction of the gases from the insulating oil sample by means of reduced pressure and for conveying it to an analytical section is disclosed. This device is intended to operate directly on the electrical apparatus to be investigated. This is achieved in that the device is constructed in a transportable manner and incorporates a peristaltically operating pump arrangement. This pump arrangement contains at least one peristaltic pump, whose inlet can be connected via an extraction vessel with the removal device and whose outlet can be connected optionally with the outside air or with a gas collecting vessel. The gases from the gas collecting vessel are analyzed in the analytical section.
