Abstract

An assembly rail for a switching cabinet, designed in a form of a stamped and bent part and having an assembly wall directed towards the inside of the switching cabinet. Lateral fixing devices, bent out of the assembly wall, are fitted with an assembly plate. Hooks are stamped and bent out of the assembly plate. The hooks can be inserted into fastening cavities of the vertical frame sections of the switching cabinet. The assembly rails can be firmly and easily secured to the frame sections with slotted fastening cavities if the hooks are bent out of the assembly plate around an axis of flexion extending in the longitudinal direction of the frame sections, if a protruding section of the hook is stamped out from the bending point and if a width of the hook is determined by the material thickness of the fastening plate.
