Abstract:
1. A terminal box for electrotechnical uses, comprising: a base designed to be fixed to a supporting surface; and a closing lid that can be connected thereto, wherein said base is formed by a shaped metal body comprising a pressed sheet of metal defining four side walls and a rear wall for fixing to the supporting surface, said four side walls extending transversely from said rear wall and having free edges which perimetrally delimit an open face arranged for coupling with the closing lid, and said side walls having, along their surface development, a shaped portion perimetrally defining said free edges; said closing lid is formed by a shaped metal body without joins at least along the development of surfaces constituting perimetral walls of said closing lid; and said shaped portion includes a V-shaped portion, with two branches and a vertex, said vertex being set towards an internal area of the base; wherein said terminal box further comprises a pair of supporting brackets fixed internally to the base at two sides opposite to one another; wherein said supporting brackets have a first angular element and a second angular element fixed in positions corresponding to two internal sharp edges of the base, and a rod-shaped stretch that structually connects said two angular elements and along the development of which are defined holes for fixing a mounting plate; wherein said angular elements comprise a first plane portion that is set parallel to said rear wall and a second portion that extends in the direction of said rear wall thereby joining said first portion to the rod-shaped stretch, at least one hole being provided on said plane portion and on said second portion; wherein said rod-shaped stretch is set parallel to said rear wall, the distance between said rod-shaped stretch and said rear wall being shorter than the distance between the plane portion of said angular elements and said rear wall; and wherein the plane portion of said angular elements is positioned relatively close to said V-shaped portion, substantially at a level of the vertex of said V-shaped portion.
