  • Patent number: 10644448
    Abstract: An electrical device, having a receiving shaft for releasably receiving an electrical and/or electronic component, in particular a relay module or an electrical circuit, wherein the electrical device has an ejection device for ejecting the component, wherein the ejection device has a pivotable ejector lever. In an ejection operation, the component can be at least partially pushed from the receiving shaft by manually operating the ejector lever by a pressure force exerted on the component by the ejector lever, wherein the ejector lever is pivotably supported on the electric device without a fixed pivot axis and in an ejection operation, is configured to execute a pivoting movement of which the pivot axis is displaceable during the course of the ejection operation.

  • Patent number: 9761965
    Abstract: An electronic device (1) is described comprising a base module (2) and an electronic module (3) detachably pluggable onto the base module (2). The base module (2) comprises an insulation material housing (16) with a snap-in base (5) for attaching the base module (2) on a carrier rail and plug contacts (7, 8) on the side walls. The electronic module (3) comprises an insulation material housing (20) and is connectable to the plug contacts (7, 8) of the base module (2) in the attached state on the base module (2). The base module (2) and the electronic module (3) comprise interacting snap-in elements (23, 26) for locking the base module (2) and the electronic module (3) to each other when the electronic module (3) is attached to the base module (2) A snap-in element (23) of the electronic module (3) comprises a protruding activation lug (27) on a second face (15) of the electronic device (1). The electronic module (3) comprises a protruding catch lug (19) on its first face (11) opposite the second face (15).

  • Patent number: 9743538
    Abstract: A carrier rail housing (1) is described comprising a snap-in base (2) for setting on a carrier rail (3). The snap-in base (2) comprises a carrier rail receiving opening (5) for receiving a carrier rail (3), two snap-in latches (4, 12) movable relative to each other comprising respectively at least one snap-in lug (6, 13), which protrude in a snap-in position into the carrier rail receiving opening (5) for locking with a carrier rail (3) receivable in the carrier rail receiving opening (5), and a coupling element (10) which is in operative connection with the two snap-in latches (4, 12) and transfers a movement of one snap-in latch (4) into a movement of the other snap-in latch (12). The snap-in base (2) further comprises a locking arm (15) with a stop (18) protruding into the carrier rail receiving opening (5) in an open position, in which the snap-in lugs (6, 13) are unlocked from the carrier rail (3), for applying at a side edge of the carrier rail (3) receivable in the carrier rail receiving opening (5).
