ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a holder for mounting a plate, such as a front plate, a contact protective plate or a circuit card, within an enclosure for electric installations, which enclosure comprises a bottom part and which holder is constituted by an elongated member comprising a body part and having at least at one end a hole for fastening the holder to the bottom part, wherein at least one end of the holder comprises an expanding wedge part arranged to expand against the bottom part, when a fastening means is mounted in a hole at the end of the holder, whereby a support surface is attached to the wedge part, the support surface being intended to press the wall of the bottom part for fastening the holder by friction joint within the enclosure at a desired height from the bottom of the bottom part. To have a holder with a simple construction, which can be mounted steplessly at a desired height from the bottom of the bottom part very easily and rapidly, the wedge part is arranged to be displaced in a direction increasing the length of the holder and there is a slit between the wedge part and the body part of the holder for causing a material weakening in the holder, which weakening provides the combination of the body part and the wedge part with flexibility, making said displacement of the wedge part possible.
