Abstract

Abstract Coupling system (8) for coupling two parts (1,2) of a housing, comprising a lug (13) fitted on an inside wall (9) of one of the parts (1) and a stop (6) which is fitted on the other part (2) and over which the lug (13) engages when the parts (1,2) are coupled in order to keep the parts (1,2) coupled to each other, a recess (16) being formed in a wall (9) of one part (1) in the vicinity of the lug (13) in order to allow through an elongated end (15) of a tool by means of which the lug (13) can be pressed off the stop (6) in order to disconnect the parts (1,2). When the parts (1,2) are coupled the faces of the lug (13) and the stop (6) in contact with each other run essentially parallel to the wall (9) with the recess (16). The lug (13) is fixed to a flange (12) running essentially at right angles to the wall (9) with the recess (16) and having a free end (18) at the side of said wall (9) and an end (11) lying opposite and fixed to the wall (9) at a distance from it. The recess (16) is suitable for allowing through the end (15) of the tool in such a way that the flange (12) can be turned with it about the top end (11) thereof in order to release the lug (13) and the stop (6) from each other.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 236 words
Coupling system for coupling two parts of a housing, comprising a lug fitted on an inside wall of one of the parts and a stop which is fitted on the other part and over which the lug engages when the parts are coupled in order to keep the parts coupled to each other, a recess being formed in a wall of one part in the vicinity of the lug in order to allow through an elongated end of a tool by means of which the lug can be pressed off the stop in order to disconnect the parts, characterized in that the lug and the recess are fitted in such a way on or in the same wall that when the parts are coupled the faces of the lug and the stop in contact with each other run essentailly parallel to the wall with the recess, in that the lug is fixed to a flange running essentially at right angles to the wall with the recess and having a free end at the side of said wall and an end lying opposite and fixed to the wall at a distance from it, and in that the recess is suitable for allowing through the end of the tool in such a way that the flange can be turned with it about the top end thereof in order to release the lug and the stop from each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 236 words
Coupling system for coupling two parts of a housing, comprising a lug fitted on an inside wall of one of the parts and a stop which is fitted on the other part and over which the lug engages when the parts are coupled in order to keep the parts coupled to each other, a recess being formed in a wall of one part in the vicinity of the lug in order to allow through an elongated end of a tool by means of which the lug can be pressed off the stop in order to disconnect the parts, characterized in that the lug and the recess are fitted in such a way on or in the same wall that when the parts are coupled the faces of the lug and the stop in contact with each other run essentailly parallel to the wall with the recess, in that the lug is fixed to a flange running essentially at right angles to the wall with the recess and having a free end at the side of said wall and an end lying opposite and fixed to the wall at a distance from it, and in that the recess is suitable for allowing through the end of the tool in such a way that the flange can be turned with it about the top end thereof in order to release the lug and the stop from each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 51 words
Coupling system according to Claim 1, characterized in that the fixed end of the flange is fixed to the inside wall by means of a torsion bar running at a distance from and parallel to the wall with the recess and by supports fixed to the ends of the torsion bar.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 32 words
Coupling system according to Claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the lug is divided by a recess between the lug parts in order to allow through the end of the tool.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
Coupling system according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the flange, relative to the fixed end thereof, runs past the lug to the recess.
