AUTOMATIC- AND REMOTE-CONTROL EQUIPMENT RACK Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: structural members for mounting railway control equipment. SUBSTANCE: rack has supporting base that mounts bearing frame with traversing and locking mechanisms at its ends. Traversing mechanisms are used for mounting socket panels for plug-in relays and functional modules and also removable panels carrying adjustable radio components and terminal blocks. Locking mechanisms are designed for locking traversing mechanisms in initial position corresponding to present working state of equipment and for releasing them when equipment wants maintenance or repairs. Attachment of socket panels and setting of removable panels by means of traversing mechanisms enables single- sided maintenance and repairs of equipment and, hence, provides for disposing both kinds of panels on two sides of rack thereby allowing for mounting more pieces of equipment on same area. EFFECT: reduced space requirement, facilitated maintenance and repair procedures. 4 cl, 1 dwg
