  • Publication number: 20090219702
    Abstract: An electronic plug-in module to be accommodated in a mounting rack with a module rail in the front region comprises a circuit board, a circuit board holder and an adapter. The adapter features a receptacle for a mounting element in order to mount the adapter on the module rail. The circuit board holder is fixed on the circuit board in the front corner region of the circuit board. It features a coupling structure that is coupled to a corresponding coupling element of the adapter in order to produce a coupling between the circuit board holder and the adapter. In an end position of the plug-in module in the mounting rack, the adapter and the circuit board holder cooperate in such a way that the plug-in module is held in its position in the mounting rack.

  • Patent number: 6068358
    Abstract: A cabinet for the acceptance of electrical and electronic components includes a rack to which a door leaf 8 having a hinge 2 as well as wall elements are mounted in a detachable fashion, the hinge 2 having at least one stationary section 3 attached to a side rail 1 of the rack as well as at least one pivoting section 4 attached to the door leaf 8. The cabinet is improved in such a fashion that the pivot axis 13 of the hinge 2 is disposed in the vicinity of the outer side of the door 14. A cabinet is thereby created whose wall elements can not be accessed from the outside whose attachment elements in the vicinity of the hinge 2 are advantageously easily accessible by opening the cabinet door even when the cabinet is fully equipped and without having to remove its contents.

  • Patent number: 5645174
    Abstract: A rack for an equipment cabinet comprises a rectangular base plate, an identically constructed roof plate and four profiled pillars. For the fastening of the profiled pillars, various fastening means are provided at the base plate and the roof plate. Three groups of four fastening holes each serve as fastening means at the corners of the base plate and the roof plate, as well as respectively three sections of four pairs of stop lugs each, which are allocated to the fastening holes in a definite manner. A fastening bore is provided in each profiled pillar, and the profile of each profiled pillar is provided with at least one profiled rib which, when the profiled pillars are positioned and screwed in, is disposed in a gap between a pair of stop lugs.
