Benefits of technology

[0008] The advantages attained with the invention can be seen, in particular, in that the housing and the flange gasket with the mounting screws pre-installed therein form a unit that can be installed in any desired installation or fitting position, namely because the mounting screws are prevented from falling out of the mounting holes of the flange even if the unit is installed overhead.
[0010] It is also advantageous to provide at least one sealing lip on the inner wall of the collars in order to secure the mounting screws from falling out.
[0012] The screws and the flange gasket are fixed on the flange of a connector housing that is not described in greater detail such that the installation of such a housing on a corresponding mounting part is significantly simplified.

Problems solved by technology

However, the installation in any desired fitting position is quite difficult with a thusly designed flange gasket because the object to be mounted, the flange gasket and the mounting screws need to be somehow held together and mounted with the aid of the mounting screws.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]FIG. 1 shows a connector housing 1 with a flange 2 in the form of a perspective representation of the open connecting side of the connector.

[0018] Due to the chosen viewing angle, a flange gasket 7 is visible behind the housing 1, wherein this flange gasket serves for producing an absolutely tight connection with a not-shown housing or another flange. In addition to the cutout 8 for the cables leading out of the connector, the flange gasket 7 also contains openings 10 for mounting screws that are respectively surrounded by a collar 11 protruding from the material plane 9 of the flange gasket 7.

[0019] This figure also shows a clip 6 for producing a separable connection with a not-shown mating connector.

[0020]FIG. 2 also shows a perspective representation, however, of the opposite side of the flange gasket 7 and the housing 1 referred to FIG. 1.

[0021] This figure clearly shows the cutout 8 as well as the arrangement of the openings 10 in the flange gasket 7.

Abstract

In order to seal a housing (1) that is provided with a flange (2) and needs to be connected to a wall cutout or another flange, the invention proposes a flange gasket (7) with collars (11) that protrude from the material plane (9) of the flange gasket (7) and are arranged in the region of mounting holes (3) in the flange (2), wherein mounting screws (5) are inserted into the openings (10) of said collars and held therein at least until the installation of the flange.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention pertains to a fixable flange gasket for sealing a housing that is provided with a flange and needs to be connected to a wall cutout or another connecting flange. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] A flange gasket of this type is used for installing a housing or the like that is provided with a flange in any desired fitting position, namely such that the required mounting screws cannot fall out of the mounting holes. [0003] It is common practice to cut flange gaskets of this type such that they are precisely fitted to the respective flange, wherein the openings for the mounting screws correspond to those in the flange. This means that the mounting screws for rigidly connecting the flanges can be effortlessly pushed through these openings. [0004] However, the installation in any desired fitting position is quite difficult with a thusly designed flange gasket because the object to be mounted, the flange gasket and the mounting screws need to ...
