Abstract: This invention relates to a base structure for a switch cabinet having in combination four corner sections, at least two transverse panels and at least two longitudinal panels. The corner sections have two vertical outer walls joined at right angles and the ends of the outer walls are bent inwardly to form mounting flanges provided with mounting holes. The top and bottom of the corner sections have cabinet mounting flanges with mounting holes. Transverse panels and longitudinal panels are screw-fastened to the corner section mounting flanges so their outer surfaces are flush with the outer surfaces of the corner sections. Corner sections, transverse panels and longitudinal panels are adapted to be assembled and disassembled from the interior of the base structure. This base structure configuration ensures that any panel may be removed from bases upon which switch cabinets are mounted in rows of cabinets, and reinstalled without moving the switch cabinets.

Abstract: This invention relates to a framework for a switchboard cabinet, comprising at least twelve interlocking frame sections of an identical hollow rectangular structure, in which the hollow rectangular structure has rows of holes and forms an outer corner at the junction of two perpendicular side sections. Opposite the outer corner, the hollow rectangular structure has two side sections, each extending parallel to an opposite side forming the outer corner. The outer corners of all frame sections are aligned correspondingly and face the interior of the framework. Due to the special construction and arrangement of the frame sections, a framework is produced which is expandable with positive sealing on all sides, and in which interconnecting transverse struts, support rails, structural elements and the like, may be installed on all frame sections.

Abstract: A lock assembly for cabinet doors comprising a mounting plate attachable to the door panel and provided with a depression in its front face to receive a handle. The handle is connected to an operating shaft for a lock adjusting member in a spring loaded manner to cause the handle to be ejected from the depression pivoting about an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the adjusting member. The hand lever is retained in and released from the depression by means of the lock assembly. The lock is installed in the mounting plate separate from the depression with the handle therein, and penetrates the door panel through an opening. The lock controls a slide adjustably disposed in the mounting plate by means of a detent element engaged in the depression, the detent element retaining the handle in the depression when the lock is in the locking position and releasing the handle which is ejected from the depression when the lock is in the unlocked position.

Abstract: A utility table for attachment to a vertical wall, particularly to a wall of a switch cabinet, with a tabletop platform and a support member joined to the wall such that it assumes an initial inoperative position folded parallel to the wall out of which the tabletop platform is moved into an inclined operative position. The support member moves into a supporting position due to its own weight whereby the tabletop platform is supported inclined to the wall so that it is prevented from returning to its initial inoperative position under load conditions.
