Abstract
The invention relates to a signaling device (1), in particular for industrial purposes, composed of several, at least two optical and/or acoustic signal transmitters, that are arranged essentially linearly next to each other and/or one above the other and connected to a power source via power lines, wherein the signal transmitters respectively have a case (3) in which power consumers (4) for generating an optical and/or acoustic signal are arranged, wherein adjacently arranged cases (3) are interconnected via a coupling member (27), and wherein the power consumers (4) can be connected to each other and/or to the power lines. A generic signaling device (1) of simple structure and that can be assembled essentially without bolt-on connections, wherein preferably simplified maintenance and expansion operations can be performed, in particular in view of replacing defective lighting means (43) and/or other electrical and/or electronic components, without requiring approximately complete disassembly, is provided in that the power consumers are arranged in mountings (42) and the mountings have a conductive device (37) detachably interconnecting the power consumers (4) of adjacent cases (3)…
