SWITCHGEAR
A switchgear has a housing with a fastening device for mounting the switchgear on a supporting rail arranged on the housing. The fastening device has a stationary first fastening lug and a second fastening lug arranged opposite the first fastening lug. The second fastening lug can be stationary, a spring is arranged in the region of the second fastening lug and is preloaded in the direction of the first fastening lug, and the spring projects partly into a groove which is delimited by the second fastening lug.
1 . A switchgear, comprising:
a fastening device configured to attach the switchgear to a DIN rail, the fastening device being arranged on a housing of the switchgear,
wherein the fastening device includes a stationary first fastening lug and a stationary second fastening lug arranged opposite the first fastening lug,
wherein a spring is arranged in the region of the second fastening lug in a manner preloaded towards the first fastening lug, and
wherein some regions of the spring protrude into a groove defined by the second fastening lug.
2 . The switchgear of claim 1 , wherein the spring is arranged in a spring receptacle.
3 . The switchgear of claim 1 , wherein the spring is substantially planar and is arranged inside the housing, apart from an actuation projection protruding into the groove through an actuation opening in the housing.
4 . The switchgear of claim 2 , wherein the spring and the spring receptacle and/or a spring insertion opening are formed such that the spring can be placed in the spring receptacle when the housing is closed.
5 . The switchgear of claim 1 , wherein the spring is a helical spring.
6 . The switchgear of claim 5 , wherein a first spring insertion opening is arranged in a first side face of the housing for inserting the helical spring transversely to its longitudinal axis, and
wherein a longitudinal extension of the first spring insertion opening is shorter than the longitudinal extension of the spring receptacle.
7 . The switchgear of claim 5 , wherein a second spring insertion opening is arranged in a first cover surface of the housing for inserting the helical spring in the direction of its longitudinal axis.
8 . The switchgear of claim 7 , wherein a latching protrusion is arranged in the second spring insertion opening.
9 . The switchgear of claim 1 , wherein the spring
is substantially planar,
has an annular basic shape that is broken by a gap, and on which a contact projection is integrally formed.
10 . The switchgear of claim 9 , wherein a third spring insertion opening for the substantially planar spring is arranged in an underside of the housing.
