Switchgear cabinet

Abstract

The invention relates to a switch cabinet with at least two profiled rails, on the bottom at the sides, which provide a supporting surface and with a bottom plate that can be laid on and fastened to them. The supporting surface ( 7 ) of the profiled rails ( 1 ) is provided with a track of punched holes, and the bottom plate ( 2 ) can be attached by means of at least one joining element ( 3 ), which can be inserted in a hole ( 8 ) in the track of punched holes and which damages the inside wall of the hole ( 8 ), thereby producing a positive locking.

1 . A switch cabinet with comprising: 
 a bottom having opposite sides;    at least two opposing profiled rails, on the respective sides of said bottom, each of said rails comprising a supporting surface wherein said supporting surface of each said rail is provided with a track of punched holes;    at least one bottom plate configured for attachment to said supporting surface of said side rails, and    at least one joining element inserted into one of the holes in the track of punched holes, said joining element configured to damage an inner wall of the hole, thereby producing a positive locking with the supporting surface corresponding to the hole.    
   
   
       2 . A switch cabinet according to  claim 1 , wherein said joining element is a screw with a self-cutting thread.  
   
   
       3 . A switch cabinet according to  claim 1 , wherein a width of the bottom plate corresponds to a distance between the opposing profiled rails plus a section of the supporting surfaces of the profiled rails that is arranged next to the track of punched holes and that faces the interior of the switch cabinet.  
   
   
       4 . A switch cabinet according to  claim 1  further comprising edge legs formed on side edges and extending substantially perpendicular to the supporting surfaces, said edge legs extending away from an interior of the switch cabinet, leaving free an area of the side edges which lies on the supporting surface.  
   
   
       5 . A switch cabinet according to  claim 4 , wherein a width of the edge legs corresponds to a distance between the opposing profiled legs.  
   
   
       6 . A switch cabinet according to  claim 4 , wherein the edge legs extend down at an angle of 90° from a top surface of said bottom plate.  
   
   
       7 . A switch cabinet according  claim 1 , wherein said joining element and the bottom plate are coated with zinc.  
   
   
       8 . A switch cabinet according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one bottom plate comprises at least three bottom plates arranged parallel to one another on the supporting surface.  
   
   
       9 . A switch cabinet according to  claim 8 , wherein said separate bottom plates are arranged next to one another at a predetermined distance.  
   
   
       10 . A switch cabinet according to  claim 1 , wherein a joining element is provided on each profiled rail.
