Definitions

  • the invention relates to a covering device for switch and / or sockets according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
  • Cover plates for electrical sockets or switch boxes are often used in the wet area.
  • the cover plates are commonly used in outdoor buildings to protect against the ingress of liquid into the can.
  • a cover plate usually consists of a frame part or cover holder with an opening and a lid, which is movably connected to the frame part and is provided to cover the opening.
  • coil springs are used to cause the necessary contact force of the lid to the frame part.
  • sealing means made of an elastic material are used.
  • a disadvantage of these sealants is in particular that they age faster due to the use and the weather conditions in the outdoor area and thus become brittle and leaky.
  • Another disadvantage of elastic sealants, such as foam is the accumulation of dirt. For example, algae can form on dirty spots. Foams are difficult to clean, so that such cover plates for hygiene reasons in the chemical industry or in the medical field are not suitable. In other cover plates, this disadvantage is to be remedied by the fact that the frame part at the opening a protective edge has, wherein the lid is slipped over this protective edge.
  • this solution which usually dispenses with soft sealants, allows certain residual amounts of liquid to penetrate into the opening.
  • the patent US 7148421 B2 discloses a vehicle socket cover having a cover main body and a cover connected thereto, which is provided for closing at least one insertion opening. By means of a coil spring, a closing force is exerted on the lid to hold it in a lid closing position.
  • the disadvantage here is that in the lid closing position collects in a forming between the lid and cover main body cavity penetrating liquid.
  • a further disadvantage is that, for the purpose of sealing in the lid closing position, a separate elastic sealing element is present between the lid and the cover main body, which has the above-mentioned disadvantages.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to propose a cover, which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art and in particular has a dense, age-resistant, low-wear and cost seal between the lid and cover bracket and so the high performance requirements.
  • a cover for protecting a switch and / or socket which with the switch and / or Socket is connectable
