Three-point latch for switch cabinet

摘要

This invention is an improved switch cabinet latch of the type having a cabinet body and a cabinet door hinged to it with the door held in closed position by means of a push-rod lock on the cabinet door with push rods movable axially by rotational movement of an actuating element such that in the closed position closing ends on the push rods which face away from the push-rod lock reach behind closing faces mounted on the cabinet body while in the open position they move away from the closing faces. By virtue of the special configuration of the ends of the push rods and lock blocks mounted on the cabinet body, an improved clamping of the door to the cabinet body is achieved in combination with a hasp of the push-rod lock in the closed position. This clamping is initiated in forced sequence by two steps in the rotational movement of the actuating element of the push-rod lock.
