Frame member for electrical distribution cabinets
View Patent ↗A frame member for electrical distribution cabinets, whose particularity consists of the fact that it has a substantially triangular transverse cross-section and that it has two ribs, which are arranged longitudinally along the extension of the frame member and are suitable to allow the engagement of a finishing element for finishing the frame member.
1. A frame member for electrical distribution cabinets, said frame member comprising:
a profiled element having:
a substantially triangular-shaped transverse cross-section, wherein said substantially triangular-shaped transverse cross-section has a first side which comprises a central portion, a first portion and a second portion which are angled with respect to said central portion and are connected by said central portion, wherein said central portion forms an obtuse angle with said first portion and said second portion, respectively, and wherein said substantially triangular-shaped transverse cross-section comprises second and third sides which comprise a third portion and a fourth portion, respectively, wherein said third portion and said fourth portion protrude from the first portion and the second portion, respectively, and are mutually joined at a first corner of the triangular-shaped transverse cross-section; and
a first rib and a second rib which are arranged to allow the engagement of a finishing element for finishing said frame member, wherein said first rib and said second rib extend longitudinally along the extension of the frame member and are arranged along said third portion and said fourth portion at corners between the first portion and the third portion and between the second portion and the fourth portion, respectively.
2. The frame member according to claim 1 , wherein said third and fourth portions are welded at said first corner.
3. The frame member according to claim 1 , wherein said third and fourth portions are mutually coupled by folding back said profiled member.
4. The frame member according to claim 1 , wherein said third and fourth portions protrude without discontinuities from said first and second angled portions.
5. The frame member according to claim 1 , wherein said profiled element is welded at said central portion.
6. The frame member according to claim 1 , wherein said frame member is engaged with said finishing element, wherein said finishing element is curved and wherein ends of said finishing element are curved so as to engage at said ribs.
7. The frame member according to claim 1 , wherein said ribs have a curved transverse cross-section.
8. The frame member according claim 1 , wherein said frame member is coupled to at least one hinge, said hinge having a shape that is complimentary to the profile of said first and second angled portions and being fixed to said frame member at said central portion.
9. The frame member according to claim 8 , wherein said frame member is engaged with said finishing element, and wherein said finishing element comprises two cusps that allow said finishing element to rest on edges of said triangular-shaped transverse cross-section of the frame member or on said hinge.
