ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a holder for mounting a plate, such as a circuit card, within an enclosure for electric installations, which enclosure includes a bottom part and which holder is constituted by an elongated element including a body part and having a fastening mechanism at least one end for fastening the holder to the bottom part, wherein the holder includes a hinge mechansim for fastening the plate at its one edge pivotally to the holder so that the plate can be lifted upwards at its edge opposite to said one edge, which enables an access into the space below the plate in the enclosure, when the holder is fastened to the bottom part of the enclosure. To enable an easy and rapid access to a space below the plate in the enclosure without needing to remove the holder and the plate from the enclosure and to enable the plate mounted in place to open from both directions, alternatively, and to be detached from the enclosure, the holder includes a holder member and a separate connecting member includes a fastening mechansim for fastening the plate to the connecting member, which holder member and connecting member together form a hinge of shaft-slot type having a hinge shaft and a slot, the slot being defined by a flexible wall arranged to flex when a force is directed on the horizontal connecting member supported on the holder member and on the hinge shaft, said force being substantially perpendicular with respect to the connecting member and directed upwards from the end surface of the connecting member opposite to the end surface, for detaching the connecting member from the holder member.
