Abstract

The present invention relates to a fastening device for component carriers in system housings. Profiled fastening members are here fastened to the front frame bars of the system housings, each supporting two parallel arranged and oppositely oriented mounting strips. L-shaped mounting brackets provided with fastening threads can be pushed transversely into the mounting groove formed by the mounting strips. A spread-away spring element is fastened to the backs of the L-shaped mounting brackets. If the mounting angles are in the inserted installed position, a retaining lug engages in a longitudinal groove of the front mounting strip. The mounting brackets can be adjusted to any desired height. The front plate of the component carrier is screwed to four mounting brackets and, after the fastening screws are tightened, the component carrier is fastened at the desired height.
