Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schaltgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a switching device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es ist bekannt und weithin üblich Schaltgeräte, insbesondere sog. Installationsschaltgeräte, auf Tragschienen zu befestigen. Derartige Tragschienen sind üblich in sog. Verteilerschränken. Die betreffend vorgesehenen Schaltgeräte weisen an deren Rückseite eine gehäusefeste Befestigungsnase auf, sowie weiters einen beweglich angeordneten Rastschieber.It is known and widely customary switching devices, in particular so-called. Installation switching devices to be mounted on mounting rails. Such mounting rails are common in so-called. Distribution cabinets. The concerning switching devices have at the rear of a housing-fixed mounting lug, as well as a movably arranged locking slide.

Derartige Schaltgeräte weisen den Nachteil auf, dass die beweglichen Rastschieber aufwendig gestaltete Bauteile darstellen, welche in dem Schaltgerätegehäuse längsverschiebbar gelagert sein müssen. Derartige Rastschieber erfordern ebenfalls ein aufwendig gestaltetes Gehäuse, und stellen einen nicht unerheblichen Kostenfaktor dar.Such switching devices have the disadvantage that the movable locking slide represent elaborately designed components, which must be mounted longitudinally displaceable in the switching device housing. Such locking slide also require a complex designed housing, and represent a significant cost factor.

Weiters ist deren Einbau lediglich im Zuge der Fertigung möglich, bevor die einzelnen Gehäuseteile des Schutzschalters zusammengefügt werden. Eine nachträgliche Montage bzw. Entfernung ist nicht möglich ohne die Funktionsfähigkeit des betreffenden Schaltgeräts zu beeinträchtigen. Schaltgeräte, welche lediglich zum Schalten einer einzigen Phase ausgebildet sind, werden für gewisse Anwendungen zu mehrphasigen Schaltgeräten gekoppelt. Da es sich dabei jeweils um fertig assemblierte und geprüfte Schaltgeräte handelt ist eine nachträgliche Veränderung nicht möglich, sodass auch eine nachträglich Veränderung der nunmehr mehrfach vorhandenen beweglichen Rastschieber nicht möglich ist. Ein derartiger Schaltgeräteverbund weist eine unnötige Anzahl Rastschieber auf.Furthermore, their installation is possible only in the course of production before the individual housing parts of the circuit breaker are joined together. Subsequent installation or removal is not possible without affecting the functionality of the relevant switching device. Switching devices which are designed only for switching a single phase are coupled to multiphase switching devices for certain applications. Since this is in each case ready assembled and tested switching devices is a subsequent change not possible, so that a subsequent change of the now multiple existing movable locking slide is not possible. Such a switchgear assembly has an unnecessary number of locking slide.

Dadurch kann ein Schaltgerät geschaffen werden, welches einen einfachen Aufbau aufweist, und welches insbesondere eine einfach herstellbare Befestigungseinrichtung aufweist. Dadurch kann der Aufwand für die Herstellung des Schaltgeräts gesenkt werden. Gemäß besonders bevorzugter Ausführungsformen ist eine nachträgliche Montage der Feder möglich. Die Feder kann daher nachträglich an einem ansonsten fertig montierten Schaltgerät mit verschlossenem Gehäuse angebracht werden.This is achieved by the features of claim 1 according to the invention. Thereby, a switching device can be provided, which has a simple structure, and which in particular has a simple to produce fastening device. As a result, the effort for the production of the switching device can be reduced. According to particularly preferred embodiments, a subsequent assembly of the spring is possible.
