Patent number: 7954911Abstract: A housing with a housing opening at a front, which is closed off by a frame put together from frame legs, wherein the frame opening is and/or can be closed off by a front and/or a cover plate. Accessories, such as handles, storage elements, support arms, pedestals, keyboards and the like are and/or can be connected with the frame legs of the frame. Continuous receiving grooves, open toward the outside, are formed on the outsides of the frame legs. Fastening opportunities are created at all frame locations by fastening devices which can be introduced into the receiving grooves, and thus it is possible to attach any desired accessories at any desired locations of the frame legs of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2005Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Rittal GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Paul Root, Markus Neuhof

Patent number: 7770351Abstract: A housing with a front frame which covers a housing opening, wherein the front frame is assembled from four frame legs and four corner elements. The corner elements connect the frame legs which meet each other at right angles at the corner elements, with each other. The corner elements can have two walls, extending at right angles in relation to each other, with fastening receivers for screw connections with screw receptacles in the front faces of the frame legs of the front frame. The outsides of these walls facing the frame legs have plug-in and/or snap-in elements, which can be introduced and/or snapped into the plug-in and/or snap-in receptacles of the frame legs. The walls are connected with an outer wall and a rear wall, which complete the outside and rear of the front frame, a simple assembly of the front frame and the rear wall or the basic housing structure is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2005Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Rittal GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7635234Abstract: A coupling element for connecting a housing or a support arm system element with a support arm. The coupling element has a hollow cylinder-shaped receiving element fixed in place on the housing or the support arm system element for receiving and fixing in place the support arm in the axial direction. So that the coupling element can meet the requirements made on its employment in the field connected with health, the receiving element is covered by a cup-shaped cover which has a central through-opening for passing the support arm through and which has an edge area circumferentially supported on the receiving element. The through-opening is sealed against the exterior circumferential face of the support arm, and the edge area of the cover is sealed against the receiving element.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2007Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Rittal GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Timo Schindler, Markus Neuhof

Patent number: 7537188Abstract: An adjusting device for fastening an operating and/or display device on a wall, having a linear guide arrangement formed by a sliding element and a fastening element, wherein the sliding element has an attachment point for the operating and/or display device. A secure support of the operating/display element results if the fastening element or the sliding element has a pivotable seating arrangement or hinge, with a pivot axis oriented parallel with respect to the displacement direction of the linear guide arrangement. The fastening element can be supported on the wall on two supporting points, which are spaced apart in the displacement direction of the linear guide arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2006Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: Rittal GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7404687Abstract: A holder for a support arm system having a fastening section with a receptacle into which a profiled support element is inserted and fastened on the holder. The holder contains one or several compensating elements for aligning the profiled support element and the receptacle has a support section, at least some portions of which are matched to an exterior circumference of the profiled support element. For making possible a simple and continuous adjustment of the profiled support element for compensating deformation under load, the receptacle has, directly or indirectly adjoining the support section, a regulating area which is wider in cross section than the support section and into which the profiled support element extends. The support section together with the regulating area forms a pivot seating for the profiled support element.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2005Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Assignee: Rittal GmbH & Co.
