Abstract
A mounting rail adapter for fastening at least one electrical assembly to a mounting rail. The mounting rail adapter has mounting rail fastening elements that fasten the mounting rail adapter to the mounting rail and an assembly fastening region that is configured to fasten the at least one electrical assembly. In the assembly fastening region, at least one assembly fastening element is provided, at which the electrical assembly can be fastened to the mounting rail adapter. The at least one assembly fastening element forms a pivot bearing element to form a pivot joint between the electrical assembly and the mounting rail adapter.
Claims12
A mounting rail adapter to fasten at least one electrical assembly to a mounting rail, the mounting rail adapter comprising:
- mounting rail fastening elements that are configured to fasten the mounting rail adapter to the mounting rail;
- an assembly fastening region that is configured to fasten the at least one electrical assembly;
- at least one assembly fastening element arranged in the assembly fastening region to which the at least one electrical assembly is adapted to be fastened to the mounting rail adapter,
- wherein the at least one assembly fastening element forms a pivot bearing element to form a pivot joint between the at least one electrical assembly and the mounting rail adapter,
- wherein the mounting rail adapter has a body, the body having an upper surface,
- wherein the at least one assembly fastening element is formed as a first retaining pin projecting from the body in the assembly fastening region,
- wherein the first retaining pin projects perpendicularly from the upper surface of the body in a projection direction, wherein an upper end of the first retaining pin is angled so as to provide an angled section, the angled section projecting in a direction that is perpendicular to the projection direction,
- wherein an additional assembly fastening element is provided and is formed as a second retaining pin that projects from the body in the assembly fastening region and is arranged next to the first retaining pin,
- wherein the second retaining pin projects perpendicularly from the upper surface of the body in the projection direction, wherein an upper end of the second retaining pin is angled so as to provide an angled section, the angled section projecting in a direction that is perpendicular to the projection direction,
- wherein the angled section of each of the first and second retaining pins project in directions that point away from one another, and
- wherein the first retaining pin and the second retaining pin are each monolithically connected to the upper surface of the body so as to project directly from the upper surface of the body.
A mounting rail adapter to fasten at least one electrical assembly to a mounting rail, the mounting rail adapter comprising:
- mounting rail fastening elements that are configured to fasten the mounting rail adapter to the mounting rail;
- an assembly fastening region that is configured to fasten the at least one electrical assembly;
- at least one assembly fastening element arranged in the assembly fastening region to which the at least one electrical assembly is adapted to be fastened to the mounting rail adapter,
- wherein the at least one assembly fastening element forms a pivot bearing element to form a pivot joint between the at least one electrical assembly and the mounting rail adapter,
- wherein the mounting rail adapter has a body, the body having at least one snap-in arm that projects from the body, the at least one snap-in arm projecting from the body in the assembly fastening region or next to the assembly fastening region, and wherein the at least one snap-in arm latches onto the at least one electrical assembly or an electrical assembly coupled thereto to secure the at least one electrical assembly or the electrical assembly coupled thereto on the mounting rail adapter in at least a first pivot position,
- wherein the at least one assembly fastening element is formed as a first retaining pin projecting from the body in the assembly fastening region,
- wherein an additional assembly fastening element is provided and is formed as a second retaining pin that projects from the body in the assembly fastening region and is arranged next to the first retaining pin, and
- wherein the at least one snap-in arm is monolithically connected to the body and the second retaining pin is monolithically connected to the body.
