  • Publication number: 20080218042
    Abstract: A kit for producing a frame superstructure for switchgear cabinets including a cupboard frame having four horizontal width struts, four horizontal depth struts and four vertical frame legs having a predetermined width, depth and height. A vertical frame includes two horizontal width struts and two vertical frame profiles which are insertable into in the cupboard frame and connectable to the depth struts thereof. Covering elements are connectable in the form of external and internal elements to two vertical frames which are spaced so that an independent base frame is formed. At least one cupboard door is pivotally fixable to the covering elements. This invention makes it possible to obtain a great number of embodiments with several simple elements.

  • Publication number: 20060138062
    Abstract: A frame for a switchgear cabinet including horizontal and vertical frame pieces of the front and rear side each forming a vertical frame. The vertical frames are joined to one another by a bottom element and a top element. The vertical frames can be placed at different intervals on beveled fastening edges of the bottom and top elements. The vertical frame pieces have a base limb, which extends in a direction of the frame depth and to which two lateral limbs are coupled. The lateral limbs are situated at a right angle to the base limb, and the lateral limbs and the base limb each have a row of fastening locations with a distribution pattern, wherein the row runs in the longitudinal direction of the frame pieces. The distribution pattern of both lateral limbs differ from one another, and both vertical frame pieces form an imperial fastening plane with the fastening locations of the first lateral limbs, and form a metric fastening plane with the fastening locations of the second lateral limbs.
