A shelf for electronic plug-in units is provided. The shelf includes at least one support plate that has at least one shaped opening. At least one guide rail is arranged for being mounted on the support plate, which includes a guide groove for receiving the electronic plug-in unit. There is also provided at least one positioning unit arranged on the guide rail, which includes a trunnion insertable form-fittingly into the shaped opening in the support plate to fix a position of the positioning unit relative to the support plate, and a locking element to lock in place an electronic plug-in unit fully inserted into the guide rail.
1. A shelf for an electronic plug-in unit, comprising:
at least one support plate having at least one shaped opening;
at least one guide rail arranged for being mounted on the support plate, the guide rail including a guide groove for receiving the electronic plug-in unit; and
at least one positioning unit detachably coupled to the guide rail, wherein the positioning unit comprises a separate bearing block comprised of a more stable and resistant material than the guide rail, and wherein the positioning unit includes: a trunnion inserted form-fittingly into the shaped opening in the support plate to fix a position of the positioning unit relative to the support plate, and a locking element to lock in place an electronic plug-in unit fully inserted into the guide rail.
2. The shelf according to claim 1 , wherein the locking element includes a locking projection having a locking edge.
3. The shelf according to claim 1 , wherein the support plate includes at least one mounting recess arranged in a pattern and the guide rail comprises at least one mounting flange insertable into a corresponding mounting recess of the support plate, wherein the guide rail and positioning unit are arranged to be moveable relative to one another in a longitudinal direction of the guide rail, and the corresponding mounting recess into which the mounting flange is insertable is shaped to make a form locking connection with the mounting flange by shifting the guide rail relative to the positioning unit.
4. The shelf according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one mounting flange has a T-shaped cross-section such that, when the guide rail is shifted in the longitudinal direction on the support plate, the mounting flange embraces the back side of the support plate.
5. The shelf according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning unit comprises metal.
6. The shelf according to claim 3 , wherein the guide rail further comprises a latching nose, the locking element engages the latching nose to hold the guide rail in place when the guide rail is shifted in the longitudinal direction.
7. A shelf for an electronic plug-in unit, comprising:
at least one support plate having at least one shaped opening;
at least one guide rail arranged for being mounted on the support plate, the guide rail including a guide groove for receiving the electronic plug-in unit; and
at least one positioning unit arranged on the guide rail, the positioning unit including: a trunnion insertable form-fittingly into the shaped opening in the support plate to fix a position of the positioning unit relative to the support plate, and a locking element to lock in place an electronic plug-in unit fully inserted into the guide rail,
wherein the guide rail has a side including a sliding bearing and the positioning unit comprises a ridge that is slidably guided inside the sliding bearing so that the guide rail and positioning unit are moveable relative to one another in a longitudinal direction of the guide rail.
