Abstract
This invention relates to a switching panel with a desk-like casing part, the open upper side of which is provided with a peripheral sealing flange and which is inclined downwardly to its forward wall. The casing opening can be closed by a lid, which is supported in a hinged manner in the area of the upper, horizontal side of the casing opening. The lid has a peripheral rounded edge which in the closed position of the lid encloses the sealing flange and extends with the forward and edge sections of the lid over a portion of the forward wall of the casing part. The free end of the forward edge section is bent toward forward wall of the casing part. To avoid injury when closing the lid, the free end of the forward edge section is first bent inwardly at an acute angle forming a first handle section. The free end extends approximately to the free edges of the laterally adjacent edge sections. Through the formation of a handle opening which has an approximately inverted V-shaped cross section, the free end of the forward edge section further extends over a second handle section. The free end of the forward section is externally bent somewhat snugly with the free edges of the laterally adjacent edge sections.
