Weather-resistant feedthrough housing

Abstract

A feedthrough housing (1) for fastening to a wall for one or more lines and/or cables to be fed through comprises a housing body (2) and a matching removable housing cover (3). The housing cover (3) has a region (4, 4′) which is directed towards the wall and has a concave contour.

Claims

1.-8. (canceled)

9. A feedthrough housing (1) for securing to a wall for feeding through one or more lines and/or cables, comprising: a housing member (2); and a compatible housing cover (3), wherein the housing cover (3) has a region (4, 4′) which is directed toward the wall and which has a concave contour.

10. The feedthrough housing (1) as claimed in claim 9, wherein the region (4, 4′) which is directed toward the wall is defined by corner points (A, B, C, D, E and F; A′, B′, C′, D′, E′ and F′).

11. The feedthrough housing (1) as claimed in claim 10, wherein the region (4, 4′) which is directed toward the wall has, when viewed from above, a substantially rectangular basic shape (A, B, C, D; A′, B′, C′, D′) having a trapezoidal attachment (C, D, E, F; C′, D′, E′, F′).

12. The feedthrough housing (1) as claimed in claim 11, wherein the region (4, 4′) which is directed toward the wall extends at least partially in a concave manner between outer short sides (A, C; B, D) of the substantially rectangular basic shape.

13. The feedthrough housing (1) as claimed in claim 11, wherein the region (4, 4′) extends in a concave manner between outer sides (C, E; D, F; C′, E′; D′, F′) of the trapezoidal attachment.

14. The feedthrough housing (1) as claimed in claim 9, wherein the housing member (2) has openings for securing the feedthrough housing (1) to the wall.

15. The feedthrough housing (1) as claimed in claim 9, wherein the housing member (2) has an opening (5) which corresponds to an opening (1) in the wall.

16. The feedthrough housing (1) as claimed in claim 15, wherein the housing member (2) has a circumferential seal which surrounds the opening (5) at the wall.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawings and is explained in greater detail below.

[0013] FIG. 1 shows a perspective illustration of the front side of a feedthrough housing.

[0014] FIG. 2 shows a perspective illustration of the rear side of a feedthrough housing.

[0015] FIG. 3 shows a plan view of the rear side of a feedthrough housing.

[0016] FIG. 4 shows a perspective illustration of the rear side of a feedthrough housing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The figures contain partially simplified, schematic illustrations. Identical reference numerals are sometimes used for elements which are the same but which may not be identical. Various views of the identical elements could be scaled differently.

[0018] FIG. 1 shows the front side of a feedthrough housing 1. The feedthrough housing 1 comprises a housing member 2 and a compatible housing cover 3. The housing cover 3 can be removed and is configured in such a manner that, by removing the housing cover 3, the largest possible structural space is provided in the feedthrough housing 1. This facilitates the installation and maintenance operations which have to be carried out with such a feedthrough housing.

[0019] The housing member 2 and the housing cover 3 comprise a metal material and are each provided with a weather-resistant coating.

[0020] In the housing member 2, there are laterally provided two openings in each case in which screws 6 for securing the feedthrough housing 1 to a wall (not shown) are arranged.

[0021] The housing cover 3 has a region 4 which is directed toward the wall and which in turn has a concave contour.

[0022] The concave region 4 is illustrated in FIG. 3 in a highly schematic manner. The concave region 4 can be described purely schematically by means of the corner points A, B, C, D, E and F in FIG. 3. The corner points A, B, C, and D form a rectangle. Between the short sides A, C and B, D of the rectangle, a concave region at least partially extends, that is to say, the housing cover 3 is curved in this instance toward the interior of the image. The corner points C, D, E and F form an isosceles trapezium. Between the trapezium sides C, E and D, F, a completely concave region extends. The housing cover 3 is also curved in this instance toward the interior of the image.

[0023] In FIG. 4, the concave region 4′ of the feedthrough housing 1 is illustrated in greater detail. The concave region 4′ is defined in FIG. 4 by the corner points A′, B′, C′, D′, E′ and F′. For illustration, the corner points A′, B′, C′, D′, E′ and F′ are connected by means of a dashed line. In this instance, the corner points A′, B′, C′ and D′ substantially form a rectangle again, wherein the corner points A′ and B′ are connected to each other by means of a circle segment. The corner points C′, D′, E′ and F′ can again be considered geometrically as an isosceles trapezium.

[0024] Even if various aspects or features of the invention are shown in combination in the figures, for the person skilled in the art—unless otherwise stated—it is evident that the combinations illustrated and discussed are not the only ones possible. In particular, mutually corresponding units or feature complexes from different embodiments are interchangeable.
