Abstract
To enable an intuitive and inexpensive releasable fastening of a housing to a fastening rail, a fastening apparatus is provided for the releasable fastening of the housing to the fastening. A single-part lever mechanism is used for latching and unlatching the housing to and from the fastening rail. The lever mechanism has an actuation means that moves the lever mechanism into a latching position or into an unlatching position, a first lever arm that actuates a first hook provided in the housing in a first direction, and a second lever arm that actuates a second hook provided in the housing in a second direction. The first and second directions are opposite one another and the first and second lever arms are connected to one another via the actuation means such that a support section is formed that has a parabolic form having two parallel limbs.
