A SLIDER INTEGRATED LOCKING CLIP, A HOUSING FOR AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE AND A METHOD OF ASSEMBLING THE SLIDER INTEGRATED LOCKING CLIP WITH THE HOUSING FOR AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a integrated locking clip (101), adapted to be inserted into a housing (102) of an din rail mounted electrical device which are already partially riveted, calibrated and tested, comprising a din rail clip (103) and a slider (104). The slider (104) has a free end (105) and an engaging end (106) and is adapted to be inserted into a slider guide (107) provided with the housing (102). The slider (104) has a gripper (108) on its free end (105) for operating the movement of the slider (104) along the slider guide (107), two protruding lugs (109) disposed near the engaging end (106), by means of which the slider (104) gets locked with said housing (102), a recess (110) provided at the proximity of the engaging end (106) of said slider, and a locking hook (111) pivotally provided with the engaging end (106). The open end of the locking hook (111) is adapted to move towards the slider (104) to engage with or disengage from the recess (110) when the slider (104) gets locked with said din rail clip (103) or unlocked from said din rail clip (103), respectively, which prevents the reversibility of the slider. The din rail clip (103) is provided with an engaging head (112) for clip mounting the housing (102) onto the din rail (113), two side guides (114) for guiding said din rail clip (103) within said housing (102), two protruding locking lugs (115), and a resilient member (116) attached at its one end to the outer face (117) of the locking hook (111) and at its other end to the engaging head (112). The present invention also provides a housing (102) for an electrical device to be mounted onto a din rail (113) and a method of assembling the slider integrated locking clip (101) for assembling with a housing (102) for an electrical device which are already partially riveted, calibrated and tested.
