ABSTRACT:
A device for fastening of electric equipment on an adapter 1 consists of a bearing plate 17 that can be inserted into the adapter 1 and positively locked, and a mounting rail 26 for carrying the electric equipment, with shoe-shaped extensions 27 which can be inserted into the bearing plate 17 and slid into position and locked. The shoe-shaped extensions 27 of the mounting rail 26 engage with the guides 29, 30 of the bearing plate 17. The mounting rail 26 can be slid in the direction of another piece of electric equipment or terminal which is firmly attached, so that the electric terminal parts can be inserted into the terminal clamps of the other equipment. In the operational position, the mounting rail 26 is locked, but can be slid after release of the snap-in locking between the mounting rail 26 and the bearing plate 17. An advantage of this device is that the adapter 1 with the bearing plate 17 can be retrofitted, and that the mounting rail 26 with the equipment can be slid within the bearing plate 17. The established locking in the operating position is effective at least in the direction facing away from the direction of connection, but can be released if necessary.
