Abstract

A transit device for leading one or more cables and/or pipes through an opening in a partition, wherein the transit device comprises an extension frame connectable to a mounting frame and/or the partition and having an axially extending through opening for the cables and/or pipes. The extension frame comprises a plurality of extension frame modules, each extension frame module having a first end, a second end and axially extending edge portions extending between the first end and the second end. The axially extending edge portions are provided with connection elements, wherein the extension frame modules are connectable to each other through the connection elements to form the extension frame, and the first end of said extension frame modules is provided with a fastening element for fastening to the mounting frame and/or the partition.

Claims (37)

1 . A transit device for leading one or more cables and/or pipes through an opening in a partition, the transit device comprises an extension frame connectable to a mounting frame and/or the partition and having an axially extending through opening for the cables and/or pipes, wherein

the extension frame comprises a plurality of extension frame modules, each extension frame module having a first end, a second end and axially extending edge portions extending between the first end and the second end,

the axially extending edge portions are provided with connection elements, the extension frame modules are connectable to each other through the connection elements to form the extension frame,

the first end of said extension frame modules is provided with a fastening element for fastening to the mounting frame and/or the partition, and

each connection element comprises a hook portion for connection to a hook portion of an adjacent extension frame module through a locking element.

2 . The transit device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the axially extending edge portions are provided with connection elements.

3 . The transit device according to claim 1 , wherein each extension frame module comprises four axially extending edge portions, two of which are free edge portions.

4 . The transit device according claim 1 , wherein each extension frame module comprises three axially extending walls.

5 . The transit device according to claim 1 , wherein the extension frame modules are identical.

6 . The transit device according to claim 1 , wherein the locking element is a strip or clip enclosing one or more connecting elements of two adjacent extension frame modules.

7 . The transit device according to claim 1 , wherein each extension frame module is provided with one or more strips of intumescent material.

8 . The transit device according to claim 7 , wherein the one or more strips of intumescent material of one extension frame module is/are aligned with corresponding strips of intumescent material of an adjacent extension frame module.

9 . The transit device according to claim 7 , wherein each extension frame module comprises a plurality of foldable tabs for holding the one or more strips of intumescent material.

10 . The transit device according to claim 9 , wherein the tabs are arranged in one or more rows distributed around the circumference of the extension frame, and wherein the one or more strips of intumescent material is/are placed next to at least one row of tabs, and wherein the tabs leave corresponding and at least partially unobstructed through holes in the extension frame after folding.

11 . The transit device according to claim 1 , wherein the transit device comprises the mounting frame, wherein the mounting frame comprises a plurality of mounting frame modules connectable to each other for forming the mounting frame.

12 . The transit device according to claim 11 , wherein each mounting frame module is provided with a removable cover, and wherein the cover is connected to the mounting frame module through a breakable peripheral notch and is formed with at least one breakable diagonal notch and/or a breakable crossing notch extending from the breakable peripheral notch to a free edge of the cover.

13 . The transit device according to claim 1 , wherein the extension frame is provided with a plurality of individually displaceable elements being displaceable from a first position, in which first position the displaceable elements extend in a direction radially inward, to a second position, in which second position the displaceable elements extend at least partially in a direction along the extension frame.

14 . The transit device according to claim 1 , wherein one or more compressible sealing modules for enclosing a cable and/or pipe is/are arranged in the mounting frame.

15 . A transit device for leading one or more cables and/or pipes through an opening in a partition, the transit device comprises an extension frame connectable to a mounting frame and/or the partition and having an axially extending through opening for the cables and/or pipes, wherein

the extension frame is provided with a plurality of individually displaceable elements being displaceable from a first position, in which first position the displaceable elements extend in a direction radially inward, to a second position, in which second position the displaceable elements extend at least partially in a direction along the extension frame.

16 . The transit device according to claim 15 , wherein a first end of the extension frame is connectable to the mounting frame and/or the partition and a second end of the extension frame is provided with the displaceable elements.

17 . The transit device according to claim 15 , wherein the displaceable elements comprise a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is connected to the extension frame in a connecting portion and wherein the displaceable elements are displaceable around the connecting portion.

18 . The transit device according to claim 17 , wherein the displaceable elements are elongated.

19 . The transit device according to claim 17 , wherein the second end of the displaceable elements is a free end.

20 . The transit device according to claim 17 , wherein the displaceable elements are bendable around the connecting portion from the first position to the second position.

21 . The transit device according to claim 15 , wherein the displaceable elements, in the first position, at least partially block an axially extending opening of the extension frame.

22 . The transit device according to claim 15 , wherein the displaceable elements, in the first position, extend perpendicular to the extension frame.

23 . The transit device according to claim 15 , wherein the extension frame comprises a plurality of walls, wherein at least two opposite walls are provided with displaceable elements.

24 . The transit device according to claim 15 , wherein one or more strips of intumescent material is/are placed on the inside and/or outside of the extension frame.

25 . A transit device for leading one or more cables and/or pipes through an opening in a partition, the transit device comprises an extension frame connectable to a mounting frame and/or the partition and having an axially extending through opening for the cables and/or pipes, wherein

the extension frame comprises a plurality of extension frame modules, each extension frame module having a first end, a second end and axially extending edge portions extending between the first end and the second end,

the axially extending edge portions are provided with connection elements, the extension frame modules are connectable to each other through the connection elements to form the extension frame,

the first end of said extension frame modules is provided with a fastening element for fastening to the mounting frame and/or the partition,

each of the axially extending edge portions are provided with connection elements,

each extension frame module comprises four axially extending edge portions, two of which are free edge portions,

each extension frame module comprises three axially extending walls, and

each of the extension frame modules has a U-shaped profile.
