Abstract:
1. A device for mounting a protector on a DIN rail characterized by being configured such that a cam pin provided so as to project from a tip portion of an elastic tongue piece formed on a base unit of the protector is inserted into a cam groove of a cam member disposed between the base unit and an operation member, and the operation member is moved in a direction in which the operation member moves away from or closer to a lower horizontal portion of the base unit to move the cam member, thus moving the cam pin between a locked position at which the cam pin is positioned near a boundary between a inclined groove portion and a parallel groove portion of the cam groove of the cam member to inhibit the protector from being disengaged from the DIN rail and a unlocked position at which the cam pin is positioned on a central bottom surface of a V-shaped coupling groove portion of the cam groove of the cam member to enable the protector to be disengaged from the DIN rail.
