It can be coupled to a control panel (1) in order to permit the fastening of a pushbutton or the like in a hole with a larger diameter than that of the pushbutton which comprises a cylindric body (2) with a rear extension (3) with a smaller diameter, threaded to receive a fastening nut (4.) It consists of a ring (5) provided inside with a front shoulder (6) similar to the rear shoulder (7) provided between the cylindric body (2) and the rear extension (3) of the pushbutton. The back of the ring (5) includes a tubular portion (10) that fits adjustably between the rear extension (3) of the pushbutton and the hole (11) of the control panel (1.) In another embodiment the cylindric body (2) is adapted to the control panel (1) by means of a base made up of a prismatic body (20), with a circular opening of the same diameter as the body (2) of the pushbutton. The bottom of the circular opening (21) includes an annular flange (22) with an inside diameter that coincides with the rear extension (3) of the pushbutton, said annular flange (22) constituting a positioning seat of the prismatic body (20) with regard to the cylindric body (2) of the pushbutton allowing the coupling to the control panel (1) by means of the fastening nut (4) conventionally threaded to the rear extension (3.)
Improved adapter for an electric component of the type to be coupled to a hole in a control panel, said component having a cylindric body with a threaded rear extension of smaller diameter, the adapter comprising:
Improved adapter for an electric component of the type to be coupled to a control panel having a hole, the component has a cylindric body with a rear extension of smaller diameter, threaded to receive a fastening nut, the adapter comprises a prismatic rectangular flat independent body with a circular opening of the same diameter as the body of the component, it being provided that in the button of said circular opening there is an annular flange with an inner diameter coinciding with that of the rear extension of the component, said annular flange constituting a positioning seat of the prismatic body with regard to the cylindric body of the component, establishing a unit that can be coupled to the control panel by means of the fastening nut conventionally threaded in the rear extension.
