EP2131000B1 - Assembly for closing a housing opening - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to an arrangement for closing an opening by means of a pivotally mounted closure member, wherein one or more holders are provided on the closure member, wherein on at least one side of the opening axes are arranged with a circular cross-section which a maximum of half of the circumference of The holders are included and wherein the holders are assigned on the opposite side fastening means which are fastened to the closure member and can be brought to the axes for conditioning.

In known arrangements, the opened obturator, e.g. a lid for a housing, access to the interior of the case. This is the case, for example, when the housing accommodates devices that need to be adjusted or maintained.

In the US-A-4,893,850 an arrangement of the type mentioned is described in which the holder is to be actuated by pressing and has a resilient end portion which counteracts the opening by friction on a counter surface. The known arrangement is relatively expensive and prone to failure. The production of the holder with its resilient end part is difficult and expensive.

The invention has therefore set itself the goal of creating an arrangement of the type mentioned, which can be made easier and operated.

This is achieved in that the fastening means comprise a rotary closure with a rotatable tongue.

In an arrangement according to the invention can be lifted by rotating the tongue, the closure member on this side, whereas on the other side, a pivoting of the closure member about the axis is possible.

Suitably, the holder are arranged on the closure member and formed as a folded trough profile.

The axes are advantageously arranged on projecting from the housing carriers.

The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings, without being limited to this example. It is described as an example provided with a lid housing.

According to the drawings, a housing 1 is covered by a cover 2. The housing 1 is shown only schematically and has no front and rear walls, but this is irrelevant to the invention.

From the housing 1 are on both sides of carrier 3, the axes 4 hold. The axes 4 are covered on the cover side maximum of half 5 holders.

The holders 5 is associated with a rotary closure 6, the rotatable tongue 7 on the opposite side of the respective holder 5 for engagement with the corresponding axis 4 can be brought.

The rotary closure 6 is designed such that its tongue 7 initially performs an axial movement and then a rotational movement when opening. This is clear from the Fig. 2 to 4 seen.

In the FIGS. 1 and 2 is the tongue 7 on the axis 4 and the lid 2 can not be lifted on this page therefore. If the rotary closure 6 is operated in the opening direction, the tongue 7 is initially moved away from the axis 4 and then rotated. In this condition ( Fig. 4 ), the lid 2 can be lifted from the housing 1.

• Gemäß Fig. 5 ist die linke Seite geöffnet; gemäß Fig. 6 ist die rechte Seite geöffnet und gemäß Fig. 7 sind beide Seiten geöffnet, sodaß der Deckel als Gesamtes abgehoben werden kann.

Die gezeichnete Form der Halter als gekantetes Trogprofil ist für die Verwirklichung der Erfindung nicht erforderlich. Überhaupt sind im Rahmen der in den Ansprüchen definierten Erfindung zahlreiche Abänderungen möglich.Depending on which side of the rotary closure is opened, there are various ways to move the lid:

• According to Fig. 5 the left side is open; according to Fig. 6 the right side is open and according to Fig. 7 Both sides are open, so that the cover can be lifted as a whole.

The drawn form of the holder as a folded trough profile is not required for the realization of the invention. In general, numerous modifications are possible within the scope of the invention as defined in the claims.

Claims (3)
