ABSTRACT:
There is provided a system for clamping an apparatus in a rectangular cut-out of a panel, the apparatus being arranged on the rear side of the panel and a cover plate being provided on the front side of the panel, the system being adapted for use in a corner area of the cut-out. A truncated rectangular pyramid is displaceable in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the panel. A frame is associated with the apparatus and is provided with two fixing parts, one being formed as a first clamping wedge pivotal about a first axis parallel to one edge of the cut-out and the other being formed as a second clamping wedge pivotal about a second axis perpendicular to such one edge. Adjacent walls of the truncated pyramid are respectively engageable with a wall of the first clamping wedge and a wall of the second clamping wedge. A screw extends through an opening in the cover plate into a threaded recess in the truncated pyramid. Adjustment of the truncated pyramid relative to the two clamping wedges may thereby be effected from the front side of the apparatus. Upon turning of the screw to draw the truncated pyramid toward the panel, the truncated pyramid engages the respective clamping wedges and forces the same outwardly in mutually perpendicular directions against the respective adjoining edges of such corner area of the cut-out.
