Device for securing a control cabinet door during assembly

Abstract

A mounting bracket for securing a control cabinet door during the assembly of a control cabinet in a horizontal position, characterized by a base plate (1) that can be slid under the horizontal control cabinet, a vertically extending profile (2) attached to the base plate (1), and a retaining bracket (3) movably arranged on the profile (2), wherein the control cabinet door is leaned against the profile (2) and secured against unintentional closing by the retaining bracket (3), and wherein the mounting bracket is fixed in its position by the weight of the control cabinet itself.

Description

1. Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a device for securing a control cabinet door during the assembly of a control cabinet in a horizontal position. 2. State of the art

[0002] When installing components in electrical cabinets, these are often handled in a horizontal position. To prevent the cabinet door from slamming shut, it is usually secured with makeshift means such as cable scraps or pieces of wood. However, these solutions are unreliable and pose a safety hazard, as the door can still close unintentionally. 3. Object of the invention

[0003] The object of the invention is to provide a simple, safe and wear-free holder with which a control cabinet door can be reliably held open during assembly in a horizontal cabinet position. 4. Solution to the task

[0004] This task is accomplished by a mounting system consisting of a base plate that slides under the horizontal control cabinet, a vertically mounted profile, and a movable retaining bracket attached to it. The control cabinet door rests against the profile and is secured against unintentional slamming by the retaining bracket. The mounting system is held in place by the weight of the control cabinet itself. 5. Advantages of the invention

[0005] The invention improves workplace safety by securely holding the door, saves assembly time because the door does not need to be removed, and requires no additional fasteners. The bracket is suitable for control cabinets of various sizes because the mounting angle is height-adjustable. 6. Example of implementation

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the base plate (1) is made of sheet steel, the profile (2) is an aluminum profile, and the retaining bracket (3) is height-adjustable via a screw connection. The base plate (1) is slid under the horizontal control cabinet so that the profile (2) rests vertically against the inside of the door. The retaining bracket (3) is adjusted to the desired door height and prevents the door from slamming shut. 7. List of reference symbols 1 Base plate 2 Profile 3 mounting brackets 8. Drawings
