The distance of the edges of the additional walls to the pushing member 27 is just enough to let it rotate sufficiently for releasing the locking element 25 from the recess. When an attempt is made to push further, the finger or the tool is blocked at the free edges of these additional walls, so an overloading of the latch is avoided.
- the mounting strip 2 is formed as an elongated cube-shaped rod.
- the rod has two rectangular broad long-edged plates 11, 12 which are connected by two rectangular narrow short-edged plates 13, 14.

- the cube-shaped rod 2 can be made very thin, in the kind of a hollow wall structure, which will save material, weight and space. Due to the meander shaped ligament 9 or rib in the space between the two broad long-edged plates a very stiff and stable design is achieved. The ligament or rib 9 serves for achieving a high bending resistance in the cube-shaped rod with small thickness.

claim 1. According to the invention, the mounting strip is formed as an elongated cube-shaped rod, which has two rectangular broad long-edged plates which are connected by two rectangular narrow short-edged plates, wherein the long edges of the broad long-edged plates and the narrow edges of the narrow short-edged plates define two narrow long-edged side sections, said two broad long-edged plates being bonded together by means of an elongated ligament running from a first of the narrow short-edged plates to the other narrow short-edged plate in a meander-shaped course. - The advantage of a device according to the invention is that the cube-shaped rod can be made very thin, in the kind of a hollow wall structure, which will save material, weight and space, and due to the meander shaped ligament in the space between the two broad long-edged plates a very stiff and stable design is achieved. The mechanical strength of the mounting strip is thereby related to its height and width in combination with the meander-shaped ligament and the wall thickness of the broad long-edged plates. The meander-shaped ligament can be formed as a meander-shaped rib. It serves for achieving a high bending resistance in a cube-shaped rod with small thickness.

So in the advantageous example of a rectangular or a trapezoid wave form, the top and bottom lines of the rectangle or trapezoids will be located flush with the two narrow long-edged side sections. That means, that the upper and lower elongated side sections of the elongated cube-shaped rod are embodied by the top and bottom lines of the rectangle or trapezoids, in a general sense they are embodied by the envelope of the wave shape of the meander-shaped or wave-shaped ligament or rib.

- Referring to
figure 1 ,4a, 4b, 4c and3 , there is shown adistribution unit 1 for an electrical installation. Thedistribution unit 1 has asubstructure 7 in form of a mounting plate. There are two locations with means for installing atop hat rail 32, also called a DIN hat rail, to thesubstructure 7. Instead of thetop hat rail 32 shown any other kind of profiled rails allowed in the various technical standards that are applied in different countries throughout the world for electrical distribution boards may be applied. The top hat rail serves for mounting electrical installation devices, such as miniature circuit breakers (MCM), residual current circuit breakers (RCCB), contactor devices, overvoltage protection devices or the like. Infig. 1 as an example anMCB device 33 is mounted to thetop hat rail 32. In thedistribution board 1 shown infigure 1 two such top hat rails can be installed in parallel and at a distance apart from each other, although only one of them, the one close to thetopside edge 34 of themounting plate 7distribution unit 1 is shown. - The
distribution unit 1 is further comprising a terminal block arrangement, in particular for connecting protective earth conductors and neutral conductors (PE/N terminal). The terminal block arrangement is located at thetopside edge 34 of themounting plate 7. It could as well be located at the bottom side edge, opposite of the top-side edge 34, or there could be terminal block arrangements both at thetop side 34 and at the bottom side. The terminal block arrangement has amounting strip 2 andmodules 3, only onemodule 3 shown in exemplary mode infigure 1 , that can be fitted to themounting strip 2 next to one another in a row. - The terminal block arrangement usually has a conductor rail and a number of connection elements for the purpose of connecting conductors to the conductor rail. Each of the
modules 3 has at least one of the connection elements. Themodules 3 have aninsulating housing 4 and a conductor rail section (not shown here infigure 1 ) which is arranged within thehousing 4. The conductor rail sections are forming the conductor rail, and the terminal block arrangement has links for the purpose of electrically connecting the conductor rail sections of modules which are fitted next to one another on the mounting strip. - Each of the
housings 4 and themounting strip 2 have devices for the purpose of plugging themodules 3 to themounting strip 2, transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of themounting strip 2. Said devices on the side of themounting strip 2 are formed as projectingbars 20, oriented transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of themounting strip 2, arranged in parallel to each other, formed to the outside of one of its rectangular broad long-edged plates mounting strip 2 and adapted for positive locking of thebar 2 into the slot 21 when plugging themodule housing 4 to themounting strip 2. - The
distribution unit 1 has a first and asecond support mounting strip 2 being disposed at a spacing from one another on thesubstructure 7. Located next to the first andsecond supports second supports plate 7 of the first andsecond supports plate 7 of the additional first and second supports 5', 6'. So the additional first and second supports 5', 6' allow for fixing the mountingstrip 2 close to the mountingplate 7, and the first andsecond supports strip 2 at a certain distance above the mountingplate 7. It may even be the case that two mounting strips, each equipped with terminal blocks, are installed, one on the first andsecond supports Figure 1 shows the situation where a first mounting strip 2' is fixed to the additional first and second supports 5', 6', asecond mounting strip 2 is shown in a position before fixing to the supports, the arrows indicating the direction of insertion to thesupports Figure 2 shows a situation where a mountingstrip 2 is fixed to the upper first andsecond supports - The mounting
strip 2 is being secured to thesupports strip 2 hascoupling parts coupling parts latch 10 that can be released by pressing it in direction towards the free end of the mountingstrip 2 by a tool or by a finger. Thelatch 10 biases into a retaining position. -
Figure 5 shows that thesupports 5, 5', and of course also 6 and 6' although not shown infigure 5 , have the form of a cube or of a truncated pyramid. On their top side each of thesupports attachment part 35, which is a bit smaller in lateral extension than the top side of thesupports recess 26 that serves for locking purposes and allows the holding interaction of the latch with thesupports - In the cross-sectional view of
figure 6 it can be seen that thecoupling parts latch 10 is arod 23 resiliently attached to one of theinner side walls 24 of the open box. For attaching therod 23 there is another,shorter rod 36. Therod 23 is situated to be oriented substantially in parallel to the vertical extension of theinner side wall 24 of the box. The attachment point of theadditional rod 36 to therod 23 is substantially in the middle between the two opposite ends of therod 23. So by pressing the upper end of therod 23, indicated as pushingmember 27, in a direction towards the free end of the mountingstrip 2, that means clockwise infigure 6 , the lower end carrying the lockingmember 25 is being bent clockwise as well, and moved away from the free end of the mountingstrip 2. - The
rod 2 has a lockingmember 25, here in the form of a latching nose, at its first end, the lower end in the exposition according tofigure 6 . Asfigure 6 shows, in the retaining position the lockingmember 25 is engaging in therecess 26 formed in theattachment part 35 of thesupport 5. - For releasing the latch, one would press the pushing
member 27 in clockwise direction infigure 6 . As was described above, then the lockingmember 25 would as well rotate slightly in clockwise direction, and as a consequence the locking member would move out of therecess 26 to release the latch. - In order to have easy access to the pushing
member 27 for a finger of a person or for a tool like a screwdriver, the pushingmember 27 at its second end is projecting above the narrow long-edgedside sections - When pushing the latch to release it, there is a certain danger of over-biasing or over-pushing, that means pushing further even after the locking
member 25 has already left the recess, continuing to push clockwise, with the risk of overloading and breaking theadditional rod 36. In order to avoid that risk, thecoupling part 8 has a blockingelement 22 to limit the permitted deflection of thelatch 10 in its release position. It is formed as an extension of each of the threeother side walls coupling part 8, seefigure 6 , in the direction of and ending substantially flush with the pushingmember 27. The distance of the edges of the additional walls to the pushingmember 27 is just enough to let it rotate sufficiently for releasing the lockingelement 25 from the recess. When an attempt is made to push further, the finger or the tool is blocked at the free edges of these additional walls, so an overloading of the latch is avoided. - Referring now to
figures 4a, 4b, 4c , the mountingstrip 2 is formed as an elongated cube-shaped rod. The rod has two rectangular broad long-edgedplates plates long edges 15 of the broad long-edgedplates narrow edges 16 of the narrow short-edgedplates side sections plates elongated ligament 19, also called elongated rib, running from a first of the narrow short-edgedplates 13 to the other narrow short-edgedplate 14 in a meander-shaped course. The meander shaped course here is in the form of wave-shaped course with a trapezoid shaped wave form. The envelope of the wave shape is congruent with the narrow long-edgedside sections - As is illustrated in the figures, the cube-shaped
rod 2 can be made very thin, in the kind of a hollow wall structure, which will save material, weight and space. Due to the meander shapedligament 9 or rib in the space between the two broad long-edged plates a very stiff and stable design is achieved. The ligament orrib 9 serves for achieving a high bending resistance in the cube-shaped rod with small thickness. The cube-shapedrod 2 as shown here does not need any additional profiled limb to achieve the mechanical strength and a high bending resistance. - As can be seen in
figure 2 , thedistribution unit 1 can have at least onethird support 31 located between the first and thesecond support strip 2. Infigure 2 there are two such third supports 31. Such an embodiment is particularly useful in an application with a very wide distribution unit, where the mounting strip has to be very long, in order to prevent a deflection of the middle part of the mounting strip downwards towards the mountingplate 7.List of reference signs 18 narrow long-edged side section 19 elongated ligament 1 distribution unit 20 projecting bar 2 mounting strip 21 slot 2' mounting strip 22 blocking element 3 module 23 rod 4 insulating housing 24 one of the inner side walls 5 first support 25 locking member 5' first support 26 recess 6 second support 27 pushing member 6' second support 28 other side wall 7 substructure 29 other side wall 8 coupling part 30 other side wall 9 coupling part 31 third support 10 latch 32 top hat rail 11 broad long-edged plate 33 MCB 12 broad long-edged plate 34 topside edge 13 narrow short-edged plate 35 attachment part 14 narrow short-edged plate 36 additional rod 15 long edge 16 narrow edge 17 narrow long-edged side section
