Armoire de distribution montée sur un socle

The invention relates to a switching cabinet with a base which is composed of four corner pieces, two longitudinal panels and two transverse panels, all the parts of the base being fitted with horizontally bent-in mounting flanges on the bottom and the top, and the switching cabinet being connected to the upper mounting flanges of the base, and at least the transverse panels and the corner pieces abutting against one another by means of vertical connecting flanges which are bent inwards, and being screwed to one another via these connecting flanges. The connection between a corner piece and a transverse panel is simplified and made easier in that in each case one connecting plate with fixing bolts and a threaded receptacle is provided for the screw connection of the connecting flanges of a corner piece and of a transverse panel, the separation of fixing bolt and threaded receptacle being matched to the separation of the mounting holes in the connecting flanges of the corner piece and transverse panel, and in that the connecting plate is introduced from the free side of the connecting flange of the corner piece by means of the fixing bolt and is held by means of the mounting screw which is screwed into the threaded receptacle in the connecting plate from the free side of the connecting flange of the transverse panel, such that the corner piece and transverse panel are connected to one another.
