Abstract
A device for connecting switchgear cabinets which can be attached to each other. The switchgear cabinets have racks with frame sections and form connecting frames extending as far as connecting planes. The frame sections have side sections which are oriented towards an inner space of the switchgear cabinet. Corresponding frame sections of the attached racks are interconnected by one or several connecting elements with a positive fit. The connecting elements are fixed at receptacles of the side sections. In order to provide considerable flexibility in attaching different types of switchgear cabinets, the vertical frame pieces connected to the connecting element have different cross-sectional dimensions, the connecting element is fixed to a fixing receptacle of the first frame section by a first fixing element, and the connecting element grips the second frame section with a clamping element.
