Definitions
- the present invention relates to a protective cover for at least part of an electrical installation device, in particular for a socket front plate.
- socket front panels are known in the field of building installation technology and are usually screwed ver to a socket insert that is held on a support frame or mounted in a wall.
- socket front panels are sometimes offered in blister packs or foil packaging, which produces an undesirable amount of plastic waste. If the corresponding products are offered in bulk, there is a risk that the sensitive visible surface of the socket front panel will be damaged or scratched.
- a protective cover which consists of a one-piece molded fiber part based on cellulose, which has a protective plate, on the underside of which a pot insert is formed.
- molded fiber parts are known in principle and can be manufactured in various designs as cast fiber parts, injection molded fiber parts or the like. The production can be carried out comparatively cheaply, whereby - in contrast to plastic packaging - there is no significant impact on the environment.
- a special molded fiber part is provided as a protective cover for a socket front plate, which has a protective plate, on the underside of which a pot insert is formed.
- the fiction, contemporary molded fiber part can be inserted with its pot insert in the socket pot of the socket front panel, whereupon the protective plate of the molded fiber part covers the sensitive surface on the front of the socket front panel.
- a central opening can be provided at the bottom of the Topfeinsat zes, which allows the attachment of a screwdriver for mounting the socket front panel on a socket insert. Since the central fastening screw is usually captively attached to a socket front panel, such a socket front panel with an inserted protective cover can not only be transported but also mounted without the protective cover having to be removed. This also makes it possible to leave the protective cover on the socket front panel until damage or soiling can be ruled out, for example until any cleaning or painting work has been completed.
- the protective cover can be designed so that it can be stacked one inside the other, in that the top of the pot insert is open.
- Such an embodiment opens up the possibility of a first protective cover with its pot insert in the pot insert of a second protective cover so that the protective covers can be stored in a space-saving manner for storage purposes.
- information can be applied to the upper side of the protective plate, for example by providing a sticker, by printing or by a relief-like design of the upper side of the protective plate.
- type designations, manufacturing data or the like can be attached to the front of the protective cover in a clearly visible manner.
- the protective cover can have a window opening in order to give the customer or fitter the opportunity to see the color of the socket front panel.
- the pot insert can have insertion bevels on its outside in order to make it easier to insert the protective cover into a socket pot.
- a quick assembly can take place in that first the protective cover with its pot insert is dropped into the socket pot of the socket front panel, whereby the insertion through the insertion bevels is facilitated.
- the pot insert can have at least one guide rib on its outside, which ensures that the protective cover is correctly aligned relative to the socket front panel.
- a guide rib can, for example, be introduced into a rectangular recess which is provided on the outer circumference of a socket pot of a Schuko socket.
- the pot insert can have two passage openings for grounding contacts on its peripheral wall. A socket front plate provided with the protective cover can be plugged onto a socket insert for transport or shipping, with the two grounding springs of the socket insert then being able to pass through the two passage openings of the pot insert.
- the pot insert can have a passage opening for an earthing pin, the passage opening being provided in particular with a tapering guide for the earthing pin.
- a rigid earthing pin is provided in the area of the socket pot.
- the present invention relates to a socket front plate with an integrally formed pot, in which a protective cover of the vorste starting described type is used, the external dimensions of the protective plate of the protective cover are not smaller than those of the socket front plate.
- the protective plate covers the socket front panel at least completely dig.
- the protective plate can be made a little larger than the socket front plate, which would make it easier to remove the protective cover.
- an intermediate space can be formed between the top of the socket front plate and the underside of the protective plate when the protective cover is inserted into the socket front plate.
- a gap can be a few millimeters, for example, and serves to prevent direct contact between the protective plate and the socket front panel. This prevents damage to the socket front panel even if, for example, granular material such as Sand or plaster should have gotten between the protective cover and the socket faceplate.
- the pot insert of the protective cover can rest on the bottom of the pot of the socket front panel, which ensures a tight fit and ensures that a desired distance between the protective cover and the socket front panel is kept.
- the pot insert can have at least one clamping section with which the pot insert rests against the wall of the pot of the socket front panel in order to fix the protective cover on the socket front panel.
- the protective cover can be fastened to the socket front plate by simply pressing the pot insert into the pot by applying a clamping force in the area of the clamping section.
- 1 is a perspective view of two protective covers
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a protective cover and a socket front panel;
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view along the line IV-IV of FIG. 3
- Socket front panel into which a protective cover is inserted
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line V-V of FIG. 4.
- Fig. 1 shows a perspective arrangement of two stackable protective covers for a socket front panel, the protective cover being a one-piece molded fiber part based on cellulose.
- molded fiber parts are known in principle and are made from 100% waste paper, cardboard, cardboard or fresh fibers.
- the protective cover 10 shown in Fig. 1 has a square Schutzplat te 12, on the underside of which a pot insert 14 is formed.
- the protective plate 12 is approximately 1 to 2 mm thick and smooth on its underside.
- the molded pot insert 14 is open on its upper side facing the protective plate 12, so that protective covers 10 of similar design can be stacked one inside the other (cf. FIG. 2).
- the protective plates 12 of two protective covers stacked one inside the other are spaced about 5 mm apart, which facilitates automated unstacking.
- the protective cover 10 is designed and adapted so that it can be plugged into a socket front panel 20.
- the pot insert 14 of the protective cover 10 has insertion bevels 22 on its outside, which are distributed over the circumference of the pot insert 14.
- the peripheral wall of the pot insert 14 is formed on two opposite sides, each with a guide rib 24 and 26, in order to achieve an overlapping alignment of the protective cover 10 and the socket front plate 20.
- Fig. 3 shows that the socket front plate 20 has an integrally formed pot 28, which in the illustrated embodiment is designed in the manner of a conventional Schuko socket.
- the inner wall of the socket pot 28 accordingly has two opposing recesses 30 and 32 into which the guide ribs 24 and 26 can be inserted.
- two passage openings 34 are also provided on the peripheral wall of the Topfein set 14, which allow the passage of grounding contacts or grounding springs of a socket insert.
- the pot insert can also have a passage opening for an earthing pin, it being possible for a tapered guide for the earthing pin to be provided on the pot insert.
- a base 15 of the protective cover 10 is provided with a central opening 17 which enables both a fastening screw 40 and a screwdriver to pass through.
- the socket front panel 20 can also be mounted on a socket insert with the protective cover 10 inserted.
- the latter can first of all be automatically dropped with its pot insert 14 into the pot 28 of the socket front panel, which results in a desired alignment with the aid of the guide ribs 32. This is supported by the insertion bevels 22 of the pot insert 14. Subsequently, it is only necessary to push the protective cover 10 completely into the pot 28 of the sockets front panel 20 until the bottom 15 of the pot insert 14 rests on a bottom 19 of the pot 28. In this state, several clamping sections 42 have jammed on the peripheral wall of the pot insert 14 with the peripheral wall of the pot 28 of the socket front panel 20, so that the protective cover 10 is held and attached to the socket front panel 20.
- the protective cover according to the invention is finally a protective device to prevent damage to the surface of the socket front panel. After inserting the protective cover into the pot of the socket front panel, it can be packed, transported and also mounted in larger containers without having to remove the protective cover. Only after complete assembly and all installation work can the protective cover be removed and sent for reuse or recycling.
