Description

The claimed technical solution relates to the field of fixing electrical devices in the wall and is intended for placement and installation of housings of electrical devices, such as switches, sockets, dimmers.

As a prototype to the claimed technical solution, a support is adopted for installation inside the housing of a switchgear (EP 1675233 A1, 28.06.2006), containing a flat metal square frame, covered with a casing made of insulating synthetic material. The frame has a central square hole, which is designed to accommodate the base of the switchgear mechanism. The central hole is bounded on four sides by ribs. Each side of the frame contains a means of attachment to the wiring box. The above fastening means is a keyhole-shaped opening. In addition, clamping means are provided in the frame at each side of the keyhole-shaped opening. The frame contains, on each of the four sides of the outer peripheral edge, assembly elements that allow the support to be attached to another support of the same type. These assembly elements include a male protrusion and a female through-cut. The male projection is intended to engage with a female through-cut provided on the corresponding outer side of the other support. These identical assemblies, provided on all sides of the frame, allow the support to be connected in all directions to one or more other supports of the same type.

The technical problem to be solved is the prevention of the disengagement of the supports between themselves in connection with the "failure" of the male protrusion of the first support through the female through-cutout of the other support of the same type.

The technical result provided by the claimed technical solution is to increase the reliability of the connection of the support for mounting an electrical device with other supports of the same type.

The technical result is achieved in that the support for mounting the housing of the electrical device is made in the form of a flat frame containing a central hole. In this case, at each end of the support frame, an assembly element is made for fastening to another support of the same type. In this case, the elements of the assembly include male trapezoidal protrusions made on two adjacent sides of the support. Moreover, on two other adjacent sides of the support, enclosing recesses are made with a shape corresponding to the covered trapezoidal protrusions. It differs in that the covering recesses are made deaf.

The above essence is a set of essential features of the claimed technical solution, ensuring the achievement of the claimed technical result.

The author of the claimed technical solution made a prototype of this solution, the tests of which confirmed the achievement of the technical result.

FIG. 1 shows a front view of a support for mounting electrical devices.

FIG. 2 - switch installed in the support according to example 1.

FIG. 3 - single socket, installed in a support according to example 2.

FIG. 4 - dimmer installed in the support according to example 3.

Implementation of the technical solution

The support for mounting an electrical device (Fig. 1) is made in the form of a flat polycarbonate frame, preferably square in shape.

The support contains a central hole (1) for housing the electrical device.

Each side of the frame contains a keyhole-shaped hole (2), which is intended for the passage of a threaded fastener (not shown) screwed into a corresponding longitudinal hole in the wiring box.

At each end of the support frame, an assembly element is made for fastening to another support of the same type. Assembly elements provided on all sides of the support allow the support to be connected in all directions to one or more other supports of the same type. The elements of the assembly include male trapezoidal protrusions (3), made on two adjacent sides of the support. On two other adjacent sides of the support, there are enclosing blind recesses (4) with a shape corresponding to the projections (3). Due to the fact that the recesses (4) are made deaf, the docking of the supports in two planes is ensured and the supports do not disengage.

Examples of specific implementation.

Example 1. A switch (5) is located in the central hole (1).

Example 2. A single socket (6) is located in the central hole (1).

Example 3. A dimmer (7) is located in the central hole (1).

The implementation of the proposed technical solution is not limited to the above examples.

Order of use

To connect the support for mounting an electrical device with other supports, the trapezoidal projections (3) are coupled with the corresponding blind recesses (4). Then a single block of connected supports is fixed on the electrical boxes installed in the wall. The body of the electrical device is placed in the central hole (1) of each support. Then the resulting assembly is closed with a frame and a front cover.

The claimed technical solution can be manufactured at any electrical enterprise and will find wide application for the installation of electrical devices in the walls of buildings.

Claims (1)
