Rastverbindung von Gehäuseteilen mit integriertem Sicherungsstift

摘要

The invention concerns a snap-in connection between two housing sections (1, 2). A potential drawback of such connections is the fact that forces acting between the housing sections (1, 2) can cause the latter to become detached. The invention addresses the problem of designing a locking system which prevents the housing sections from becoming detached in this way. It consists in principle in the provision inside the housing (1, 2) of a chamber (6) in which a snap spring (10), which is part of the snap-in connection, forms at least part of a side wall. A locking pin (12) introduced into the chamber (6) is held securely by a wall (8) opposite the snap-in spring in the housing (1, 2) and prevents any excursion of the snap-in spring (10) which might result from the forces acting between the housing sections (1, 2).
